GULF COAST FOR TOURISTS.
From the Mobile Register.

From the Mobile Register.
The Literary Digest of October l6
serves well the migratory element OF
the North by printing comprehen-
sive survey of what is available IN
the South for winter health and
pleasure-seekers. The instinct OF
birds that fly to the warmer regions
is strong in many human beings; and
now that the facilities exist both for
travel and entertainment, the move
ment is very general. Says the Dl-
gest: "The ancient instructive spirit
of adventure and exploration was re-
enkindled among humanity, and the
voyage and journey, at one time pos
sible only to those of ample means,
have become a possibility to the many
of varying degrees of wealth and
leisure. Some travel for rest and
recuperation only, while others set
forth with a kind of double purpose
of business and enjoyment. Nor do
they all move in the same direction
toward lands where it is summer
when the Northern areas are wrapped
in the SHOWS of winter"
Recognizing this diversity OF de-
sires, the Digest makes It's description
large so as to embrace the whole
Southern country, and draws IN the
West Indies, South and Central
America, Mexico and California for
good measure. The Gulf Coast OBJ
tains a good share of representation
in this survey, and Mobile is twice
complimented with words Of praise !:
Alabama, although touching the
coast in one small corner, has one OF
the most attractive of Southern cities,
Mobile, described elsewhere.'
And elsewhere is read the follow
ing: s
"Mobile, facing one of the Gulf's
most beautiful bays and famed alter
natelv by breezes from the salt water
and from the pine forests rising be
hind it. is a city of tropical parks.
shaded drives and colonial home
steads, the old and the new IN sharp
contrast but all in delightful set
ting tempting the winter tourist.
Also, the story mentions that pc.
tween Mobile and the Mississippi
Delta stretch a chain of attractive
waterside resorts, including among
others Ocean Springs, historic BILOXI,
GultpOrC, Long DedCil, eoo OA1A AA0e
and Bay ST. Louis" =,
The readers of the Register VIII
have noticed in Sundays issue OF the
paper the statement from Lake Ar
thur that corporation valued in the
millions, cooperating with the Louis
vile and Nashville Railroad Com
pany, is preparing to construct on
this coast a frst-class tourist motel,
such as the hotels on the Florida east
coast and which have such attractlon
for the Northern people who visit ene
peninsular State. There is no ques
ton that physically this coast is equal
to any, and in some respects is
UNIQUE; and, therefore, its develop
ment by means of great resort no
tells is a business enterprise that must
surely succeed, to the great enhance
ment of ali the communities affect
ed, directly or indirectly.

CUEVAS-MARTINOLICH.

On account of the season of ad-
vent, a quiet but most charming we'd
ding took place at the Catholic Church
of De Lisle last Sunday, when Miss
Laura Martinollch, one of the most
intelligent and popular girls of De
Lisle, was united in the hold bonds
of matrimony with Mr.. Howard O..
Cuevas, who is fast becoming one
of the most successful merchants OF
Gulfport, on account of his energetic
character, backed with the most gift
ed talents in the business line.
This new couple were agreeably
surprised when several of their best
friends met them at the door of the
church and showered them with
cannonade of rice and other articles
suited for the occasion.
At this season of penance only a
few friends were invited at the din
ner, which was carefully and artisti-
cally prepared by Mrs. Frank Martin
olich, an expert in the culinary art.
Amongst the invited guests were Mr..
and Mrs. George Cuevas and family.
Mr.. George Cuevas IS well known as
a successful merchant in Fenton.
The numerous friends of the newly
married couple wish them many years
of devotion to each other, so they can
share as much happiness as the d.
vine Maker may bestow on them, as
He always will bless those whose
watchword is "Ad Majorem Del

Other Things Taken-No Clue to
Perpetrators.

When Mr.. and Mrs. Adam Lorch

MAY CALL EXTRA LEGISLATURE
TO REFILL TREASURY.
Think Russell Must Act to Save the
State From Bankruptcy-Other
Items of Interest From the State
Capital.

Jackson, Miss, Dec. 18.-It is the
concensus of opinion among those
connected with the financial affairs
of Mississippi that Governor Russell
will be forced to issue call for a
special session of the Legislature to
provide funds for the treasury. which
now faces a deficit of approximately
$6,O0O,0OO, before the regular ses-
sion, which meets in 1924. Although
the governor has repeatedly declared
himself against calling a special ses-
sion of the lawmaking body, it is be-
lieved in authoritative circles that
this will have to be done in order to
meet current expenses from the treas
ury, which is now declared to be in
an almost bankrupt condition, with
scant prospect of meeting State sal
aries for December.

BROTHER BRINGS BROTHER TO
JUSTICE.
Hairbreath Tale of Justice in the
Northwest.

A tale that bespeaks volumes for
the r0ck-ribbed code of the Royal
Northwest Mounted Police came out
of the snow country recently when
is was ascertained that Corporal Bob
Fitzgerald tracked his own brother
and brought him back to justice.
According to reports, the younger
Fitzgerald, also of the Royal North
west Mounted Police, fell from grace
and after being admonished by Ser
geant Georges MardeauX, proceeded
to ignore authority and further en-
tangle himself by coveting the wife
of the Inspector When this came to
the attention of Mardeaux, he decid-
ed to investigate for himself, and
coming upon the pair Unexpectedly,
the irresponsible Fitzgerald, in order
to shield himself from disgrace and
the inspectors wrath, killed him.
By the peculiar exigency of fate,
the duty of tracking the murderer fell
upon Corporal Bob Fitzgerald, and
then ensued the man hunt, with the
elder brother in pursuit of the young
er. The chase led through the frozen
vastnesses of the bleak Northwest un-
til brother tracked brother-the ties
of blood forgotten in the rigid code
of the Kings law, and the law of the
North-Get Your Man! How, by a
ruse, the tables are turned, and the
murderer finally apprehended is to
be seen in II Am the Law" coming to
the A. & G. Theatre next week.

Christmas.
'Tis Christmas time, at S. J. A.
A week of jolly fun and play;
The silence bells we do not hear,
For it's a week of Christmas cheer.
It's bad to say we break rule,
And even talk aloud in school;
But have your fun, and never fear,
AS Christmas comes but once a year.
Now you may talk, laugh and be gay,
Be jolly, girls, the while you may;
For you can see at but one glance
That this may be your only chance.
In this edition of "Work and Play"
We send our wishes through the Bay
To everyone, both far and near,
Fe wish you joy the coming year.

"FOOLISH WIVES COMING SOON.

Foolish Wives" the super-picture
to be shown at the A. & G. Theatre
soon, is the first real million-dollar
picture. It's actual cost up to the
time Of its first showing was S. ,103,-
736. This stupendous sum was ex-
ondcd IN the construction of gigantic
and costly acts and in the hiring of
thousands of "extra" actors and ac-
tresses to make up the crowd scenes.
Erich Won Stroheim, the author, dl-
rector and principal actor in the pic
ture, prided himself upon reproduc-
ing at Universal City, California, the
exact scenes and activities to be
found at Monte Carlo.
The three principal buildings at
Monte Carlo were duplicated in Cali
fornia with remarkable fidelity for
the making OF "Foolish Wives" the
million-dollar Universal picture which
comes to the A & G.. Theatre in jan
uary. They were the Casino, better
known as the Hall of Chance, the Ho-
tel de Paris and the Cafe de Paris.
The interiors were fitted with the
same furnishings as used in the orig
inal structures, even to the mono
grams on the hotel linen. Erich Won
Stroheim, the director and star, de-
manded absolute verisimilitudes
The two halves of the same build
ing three hundred miles apart! It
sounds like a cyclone story. But 1t Is
the actual fact concerning the big
Monte Carlo sets built in California
for ''Foolish Wives" the super-plc-
ture which comes to the A. & g. The
atre next month. The fronts OF the
big gambling Casino and an elabor-
ate villa were constructed at UnlVer-
sal City, near Los Angeles. The other
sides of these buildings, which had TO
overlook the ocean, were constfucLeu
at Point LobOs, near Monterey, Gal

NEXT YEAR LOOKS BRIGHT.

The coming year ought to bring
great things for Bay St. Louis. The
city is on the threshold of a new era.
With the completion of the sea wall
and the waterworks system our city
ought to be second to none on the
Gulf Coast. Next year will see many
new improvements. Our people ought
to be prosperous and happy.

Forty eight real plate glass win
dows, each twelve feet high and four
feet wide, were used in one of the
costly buildings constructed for the
,.erning of Foolish Wives" the mil
lion dollar Universal picture to be
seen at the A. & G. Theatre next
month. The glass was used in the
front of the set duplicating the cele-
brated Cafe de Paris at Monte Carlo.
Erich Won Stroheim, the director, de-
manded the glass so his cameras could
catch the reflection of the massive
Hotel de France and the famous
gambling Casino, sets constructed
nearby. This directorial whim for
absolute realism cost Universal $12,-
