An ENJOYABLE Picnic.

Last Thursday group of altar
boys under the care of Brother Igna-
titus, and accompanied by Rev. C. M.
Chambon and Brother Emmanuel,
went ON a picnic to Baton Rouge.
Crossing the river on the 9 o'clock
ferry the party proceeded via the
Jefferson Highway and arrived at ST.
Vincent's Academy in the Capital
City little before II o'cock. Short
ly after their arrival a sumptuous
lunch was served which was greatly
relished by all. In the afternoon the
boys accompanied by Brother Cyril
Of St. Vincent's Academy and Broth
er Ignatius, went sight seeing. The
objects they enjoyed the most were
the capitol building and the Standard
Oil Company's plant. At the capitol
they were shown through both rooms
of the legislature and ascended to
the top Of the building where they had
a fine view of the whole city and sur
rounding country. On the return
trip, one of the cars exverienced tire
trouble, which caused delay and at
6 O'Clock they were still some distance
from Darrow, but by speeding up a
little and blowing the%horns when ap-
preaching the landing they attracted
the attention of the captain of the
boat, which had already left on the
last trip, and he returned to the Dar-
row wharf to take them on, and the
party reached home safely at $50
O'Clock after day of pleasure and
delight, punctuated with little ex-
citement and speed thrills on their re-
turn journey.

AN EXTRAORDINARY PICTURE,
"A Woman of No lmportance' to Be
Shown at the Community Theatre.

This truly wonderful photoplay
which will be next Thursdays
offering at the Community Thea
tre as a lot of things to com
mend it to the picture going
public. One can scarcely start with
anything but the story in view of
the fact that the play from the able
pen of Oscar Wilde has already en-
deared itself to plagoers in every
corner Of the civilized world. And yet
if one forgets the history of the play,
he certainly cannot fail to be impress
sed with the artistry of the perform
ances given by at least two members
OF the company assembled to transfer
the drama to the screen. Fay Comp
ton, who plays the role of Rachel
following such actresses as Rose
Coghlan, Mrs. Pat Campbell and Mar
garet Anglin-in her first appear
ance in this city gives every indica-
ton that she is one Of the most cap
able actresses now appearing before
the motion picture camera. 1t is of
interest to observe that Miss Comp
ton is a sister of Compton Mac
Kenzie, the we'll known English nov
elist. Milton Rosmer has the other
big role in the piece, appearing as
Lord lllingworth, the type of man
whose selfish qualification of his lower
instincts is constantly spreading suf
fering and misery throughout the
world. He plays the role faultlessly.
In the first American stage produc-
ton of the play this role was entrust-
ed to Maurice Barrymore in support
of Rose Coghlan as Rachel.
Beautiful pictures, both outdoors
and indoors, have been chosen as
the background for the nara ton of
the story. They add materially to
the value of the entertainment.
