iaTHE GRIM COMEDIAN"
AT GRAND TOMORROW

"The Grim Comedian" the new
Goldwyn picture to be shown at tne
Grand on Wednesday, is the story OF
on octress-mother' sacrifice OF life
Of luxury that her convent-bred
daughter may no tknow OF the means
bv which she was educated. Inc
mother is a minor actress who has
won the esteem of Broadway
rounder, and through his beneficence
has been able to provide well for her
daughter. But when the girl grows
nm and wants to come to her mother,
the latter cannot go on with her for
mer life.
The man in the case, however, is
not to be disposed of easily, espe-
cially after seeing the daughter. Then
conflict between the mothers love
for her daughter and the first gen
nine affection of the rounder for the
unspoiled girl furnishes thrilling
climax to a most unusual dramatic
story. The author, Rita Weiman, has
written many stories and plays. "The
Grim Comedian" is her first story
written directly for the screen. The
director has provided fitting atmos-
phere and has handled the cast in an

Startling Statement Made by Re-

Jacksonville, Nov 7.-AcCOrding to
the RECUMA man, who is here in
PRODUCING the phenomenal new treat
ment known as RECUMA, "Ninety
per cent of the people who suffer
from nervousness, Indigestion, dys-
pepsia, constipation, biliousness, ma
laria, irritability, loss Of weight lack
of strength and energy, can trace
heir trouble almost directly to their
stomach, liver, bowels and kidneys.
"Such ailments come about for no
)ther reason than the failure of your
system to properly digest, assirnilate
and eliminate the food you eat, so
your nerves, tissue, muscles and
brain are nourished every day, and
all waste matter is eliminated
promptly.
at is true that many things have
been offered to the public to rid
them of such troubles, but not until
the RECUMA treatment was T%SSSStec['
ed has anything truly reliable been
available. This is proven by the fact
that RECUMA is relieving literally
hundreds every day, who have tried
many different kinds of medicines
and treatments without the sign of
relief"

Druggists say nothing more con-
vincing than RECUMA has ever been

BRIDGE MATTER
AGAIN DISCUSSED
AND ACTION URGED
Delegation Says District
Should Stand Expense
of Structure

Charles E. Rowton, F. ]. Fearnside
and DR.. H. A. Johnson, representing
the special good roads committee, ap-
peared before the board of county
commissions yesterday afternoon, in
the matter of the new steel and con-
ccrete bridge which is intended to
supplant the present structure across
/ the st. Johns river.
No action was taken by the board.
Mr.. Rowton spoke of the deteriora-
ton of the present bridge and told of
the expense in the upkeep which
would be done away with if new
structure along the lines which had
been suggested by engineer James A.
Mortland, of Tampa. The time was
fast approaching, Mr.. Rowton said,
when this matter must be taken up
and acted upon, and he believed the
sooner decisive action is taken TIE
quicker would the city and county
feel the beneficial effects. Remarks
of the same tenor We're made by 9th
ers of the delegation-Dr. Johnson
advocating the plan of the bonds be-
ing issued by the Palatka district, re-
lieving other sections of the county
from anv indebtedness
The matter of whether the entire
county or merely the city should bond
for the building of the bridge was
not the question for the commission
ers to decide, said Mr.. Fearnside. The
plan which might be considered the
better by the commissioners would be
agreeable to the people, he believed
The chairman of the commissioners
explained that if the city is to as
sumo the indebtedness it will require
petition signed by one fourth of the
taxpayers in Palatka before the pc
tition for an election can be held; if
it is desired that the entire county
issue the bonds the matter of calling
bond election is optional with the
board Until that matter is settled
the hands of the board are tied.
Plans and specification Of the pro-
posed structure were presented by
j. A. Mortland, who had some very
attractive Illustrations of the struc-
| ture which was to be of a width, of
twenty-five feet, have thirty seven
ty-feet spans in the 2464 feet Of
bridge, bascu!ar (jack-knife) draw
and would have a considerable length
of fill at the af2roaches-the longer
fill being at the east end of the
structure. The bridge would be plan
ned in full accord with the requisi-
tions of the war department. The es-
timated cost would be $375,000.
The architect, if authorized by the
board would complete all details
without cost to the county if given
assurance the commissioners favored
the construction, and would ask for
no reimbursement. When the bonds
were issued and sold and the bridge
was constructed Mr.. Mortland would
take charge of the work on four
percent basis. "If the bonds do not
carry or are not sold," added Mr..
Rowton, at will be the architects

Yet other singers had been seen and

Il is therefore daring thing to say
that, despite all this, Miss Easton's
performance yesterday was the most
beautiful that we have ever seen or
heard. But there is no use in having
the privilege Of expressing an opin-
ion unless one has also the courage to
disadvantages. Not having crowd

alteration for her person, she had to
win the triumph which came to her
by the sheer exercise Of her art. She
