ANNOUNCEMENTS
BREEp THEATRE

In confirmation of all the advance in- formation that has been gleaned about Rita Weinan's first photoplay written directly for the screen, the Goldwyn pre- sentation of The Grim Comedian, which Is the feature at the Breed theatre to- day, rouses us to add word of eommen- dation for the authors admirable work as well as for the fine treatment 1t has received at the hands of the director, Frank Lloyd, and a cast of excellent players. Though the subject is delicate. there Is nothing suggestive or undigni- lied in the story. The drama revolves upon mothers sacrifice for her daugh- ter's welfare.

oErnEUM THEATER. pANIELsoN.

Everybody likes to know the story of the artistic career of an actor or act ross snd still more of the publi. are in terested in intimate details of such stage histories. Seldom is a career found which can approach the life story of Miss Vir- ginia Pearson in stimulating both popu- lar interest and approval at Orpheum 2S. p- Al
 Born nearf Louisville, Ky. which city claims htr, of an excellent family. Vir- ginia Pearson might well have settled oown to the social life which was hers py birth and breeding. instead of deter mining to possess such position by vir- tue of actual achievement along artistic lines. WheL only fifteen years old. Miss Pearson began to write for her local newspapers. the far-famed JournalsCour- fer and the Times. These papers also published her charming pen and ink sketches. Upon completing her general education, which Miss Pearson advises aI young aspirants to the stage to do. the lovely Virginia commenced her ca reer in the company of George NJ. Co., han Subsequent to this engagement the struggle for recognition against the wiles or interruptions managers and the suc- cesstul preservation of her personal in- tegrity and artistic rights are a lesson and an example to all those girls at tempting to follow the alluring pathway to success upon the stage. Faith and determination soon carried the young act
 ress beyond dependency upon such un- certain livelihood when she joined the company of Henry W. Savage. Hard
 work did not cease. but from that time success followed rapidly. It was not
 long before the name of Virginia Pear son was associated with roles as diverse 1 m character as Amelia in Under Southern Skies Astrella in ArizoAa, Portia in The Merchant of Venice and the emotional lead in A Fool There Was.
 After her success on the spoken stage
 it was natural that Miss Pearson should
 be sought after for pictures, in which work she remained for five years with
 Fox, Vitagraph and three pictures under
 her own management, since when. for the past two years she has toured the Keith circuit in vaudeville extending her pop- ularity through personal contact with the
 same people whose screen favorite she
 has been for so long

CONCRETE HIGHWAY IN
PONTOTOC is OPENED
North Mississippi Is Completing Ma
jor Artery.

Pontotoc, Miss, Aug.-The con-
crete Bankhead Highway in this coun-
ty was thrown open to the public for
use this week, virtually completed.
Only the gravel shoulders are yet to
be laid and this work has been delay
ed on account of inability to get
material shipped in. The concrete
portion of the road extends from Tu-
pelo to Rosalba Mills, three miles east
of this place, but from Rosalba to
Pontotoc the road is graveled and will
be concerted soon.
Work of laying concrete on the
highway west of Pontotoc is progress
ing rapidly, the contractors having
started at Franklin place, 10 miles
from here and are working towards
this city. Two miles of this stretch
have been laid to date and In the
next few days it will be completed
towards Pontotoc as far as Spring
vile, Plenty of material is on hand
for this work.
Through these efforts the Bankhead
highway is being concerted across
Pontotoc, Lee and Ittawamba counties
from the Lafayette County line to
the Alabama state line, a distance
of about "a miles. With the compile
ton of gravelling the old Oxford
Memphis highway from Olive Branch
across DeSoto County to Cockrum,
which is. now under way, and the
proposed extension of the gravel
work across Tate County to Indepen-
dence, the people of that section are
encouraged to look for the completion
of the long hoped for hard surfaced
connection of the Bankhead highway
at Oxford with the Memphis road,
via Tyro, Thyatira, Independence,
Cockrum and Olive Branch.
This highway has already been
graded in many places and needs only
the hard surfacing to provide a major
artery into Memphis.
This old Memphis and Oxford high
way passes near some of the finest
gravel pits to be found in the state in
DeSoto and Tate counties.
This will enable the hard surfacing
Of this highway at little expense as

could be graveled with not more than
