day by affairs that could not wait
and violates Section s % the con

I DE Luxe Annie" appeared originally
as a two-part story in The Saturday
Evening Post; later it was made into
play by Edward Clark and achieved
considerable success in New York II
then was adapted as a screen play for
Miss Talmadge. The scenario for the
screen production was prepared by Paul
West and the direction is by Roland
West.
Miss Talmadge's leading man is Eu-
gene OBrien, who performed Il similar
function in Ghosts of Yesterday" and
by Right of Purchase" for this star;
another important male role has been
entrusted to Frank Mills, whose pol
ished acting is familiar to both play
goers and film fans. Other leading
members of the cast include Edward
Davis, Fred r. Stanton, Joseph Burke,
Edna Hunter. David Burns. and little
Harriet Jenlkins-a, winning aggrega-
ton in the support of a. supreme star.
The play itself is keyed with sus-
pense and moves swiftly from one trans
ition to another. 1t is an absorbing
story with a deep human interest and
a tremendous surprise at the close.

Creosoting Concern
Has Order For $50
Cars of Pine Poles

Several weeks ago the Journal carried
story outlining the growth of the bust
ness of Pensacola Creosoting Company
whose extensive plant is located at the
corner of Main and / streets.
A representative Of The Journal made
another visit to this progressive insti-
tution's plant day or two ago and was
surprised at the extensive improvements
which have taken place there within the
brief period Of three weeks
AS stated in the former story, General
Manager Sexton predicted at that time
that an increase in the plants capacity
would be necessary if orders continued
to pour in upon him as they had the
past ninety days. However, he did not
anticipate that this necessity would
arise within a period of ninety days; but
it has. and preparations are already UNI
der way to double the plants capacity
as soon as the necessary machinery can
be secured.
Active operations are already under
way clearing the necessary ground space
for new buildings to receive the addi-
tional machinery which has been ordered
and as soon as the necessary steel rail
can be secured from the Birmingham
district where orders have already been
placed for it, more than mile OF new
trackage will be laid on the company s
premises.
Three weeks ago the company had on
it's books on the order of Western Elec-
trio Co, two hundred cars of creosoted
pine poles. This order was augmented
last week by an order for 1870 additional
carloads, which makes total OF $50
cars of this one item on the company S
books an is in addition to numerous
large orders for other items turned out
by the company.

Word of Genes arrival spread quickly
over the course, and all the players
dropped their clubs and rushed to the
clubhouse to congratulate the new

Probably Gene blushed at the out
burst OF cheers, but the sunburned skin
concealed any manifestation of the en-
barrassment felt by this modest chap
of twenty-one. When the shouting died
down Gene plucked up enough courage
to say:
II am happy that I succeeded in

There was another roar OF cheers,
under cover of which the young cham
pion drew Fl. F. Hetzel, president of the
club. aside. Cheers and praise were
very fine of course. but In the midst OF
them Gene had not forgotten the two
persons whose pride meant more to him
than all the rest-his mother and dad
in New York.
