 The conclusion, followed a survey of the situation, is that the Repub- ltcan party, because of the negro in the south, will never be able to make much impressions in this Democratic stronghold. There will be isolated victories like that in Tennessee, from time to time, but to capture a large portion of the south for the Republi- can party seems to be an impossible task.

HEART O THE HTLLS'
 AT EMPRESS THEATER

Repeating for the last time tonight at the Empress, Mary Pickford in the ptcturization of Jno. Fox, Jr.'s strongest story, "The Heart O. the Hills, "a story of the Kentucky mountains, of feuds, clansmen, night riders, and old Kentucky shindigs. The picture covers the whole range of emotions-love, hate, romance. intrigue, loyalty, treachery, and throughout the whole, humor and comedy in Miss Pickford's own in- imitable strain.
 A picture that everyone will en- joy, from the biggest to the uttlest film fan, because there's lots of ex- citement and action, and plenty of run, and with it all, strong plot or story, that will keep your interest keyed up to the top notch. A News reel and an especially good short com edy complete the program.
 Saturday night only, Constance Talmage, ia a sparkling light com edy drama, Sauce for the Goose" Constance Talmage has been de- scribed as the girl whose merry laugh can be heard even in the silent" drama. She reigns supreme in a field all her own. She is queen of the comedy-drama, the dainty, hu- man, delightful exponent on the screen of laughter-plus plays.
 Now, Sauce for the Goose" is part of an old proyerb, but the picture is full of brand new situations that sparkle with fun, and Constance Talmage, with Harrison Ford as her leading man do full justice to the many amusing complications with which the story abounds.
 And on Sunday is booked one of the screen events of the season, Bert Lytell in an adaptation of Sir Gilbert Parker's famous novel-the novel that thrilled a million readers "The Right of Way" This is a seven reel Screen Classic, the best and big get thing MT. Lytell has achieved, and will be shown Sunday night only.
