granted Of course, that the calibre OF
entertainment offered is of the Al
standard. Manager Appleby strives
to combine the two. that is, to pre-
sent the most varied types of attrac-
tions, of the highest grade procur-
able. That he may be pardoned for
expressing honest pride in his re-
suits thus far is a tribute to the fact
that he has been on the right track.
And, now that he is on that track,
he has no intention whatsoever OF
deviating from it. Manager Apple
by at this time is going to let you
peer behind the curtain at some of
the forthcoming pictorial produc-
lions which will be presented to the
Augusta theatregoers. as an evidence
of the fact that this strong assertion
can readily be lived up to.

Sketch of Gandhi,
Leader Nationalist
Movement in India

Mohandas Il. Gandhi, leader of
the nationalist movement in India,
is the central figure of the remark
able "pacifist revolution" which has
stirred the 313,000.OOO people of the
Indian Empire as. perhaps, never
before since the days of the Sepoy
mutiny.
He has been called a philosophic
anarchist, new Tolstoi. He became
more dominant than ever in the
campaign against British rule in
India when, in December last the
Indian National Congress in its an
nual session at Ahmeda bad invested
him with sole executive powers of
that congress with authority to APP
point his successor lin any emer-
gency."
The congress voted to suspend all
other activities in order to concen-
trate upon civil disobe dience. a
feature Of which was to the enlist
ment in the National Volunteer
Corps. but included also refusal to
pay taxes and an attempt to boy
colt British goods.
Soon after the congress adjourned
Gandhi sent a manifesto to Lord
Reading. the Niccroy, offering TO
abandon aggressive plans provided
the government set free his follow
ers. many hundreds of whom were
in prison. and provided the press
was released from administrative
control and fines and forfeiturcs
were restored.
The British India Office promptly
announced that it would not dis

cuss such demands and that it in
| tended to adopt stern measures to
suppress the campaign of civil dis
| obedience.
Thousands of persons were report
ed to have been arrested in India
under this policy and Gandhi's ar
rest was daily expected. There was
an outbreak of violence and II ma
tive policemen were killed in riot
at ChauriChaura, on the Bengal
Northwestern railway.
| The working committee of the In
| dian National Congress soon after
| ward voted to suspend the civil dis
obedience campaign until the wave
OF violent feeling had passed.
Gandhi announced at Bombay.
that he had begun a five days fast
as a penance for the rioting at Chau-
ri-Chaura and las punishment for
those who committed the brutal
! murders" there. Thereupon. the
British Secretary of State for India,
Edwin S. Montagu, announced that
the government proceedings against
Gandhi had been suspended because
of the cessation of civil disobedience.
Non-violence and non-cooperation
: with tie Indian government have
! beer the fundamental principles of
CanGhi's campaign. His ideas have
dominated the Indian Congress and
his appointment as executive of that
| body virtually made him dictator of
| the revolutionary movement. He
sought to attain swaraj (self-dcter-
! mination or freedom for everyone)
by resistance. by conquering
! the enemy by love.
| Gandhi has been described as a
f, dark. little wisp of man. who has
/ tasted so long and often that he is
physically mere shadow of man.
! He was born 81 years ago in the
Bombay presidency. the son of
! Hindu merchant. He studied law,
! and finished his legal training in
/ London, where he donned the Euro
pean dress. He has said that he
drew the inspiration for his move
nent from the New Testament.
! from Tolstoi's The Kingdom of God
is Within You"
! AS lawyer he defended the In
dams who had been arrested i'll
| South Africa and was himself i'm
/ prisoned there. During a long cam
paien in behalf of the Indians in
South Africa, he was jailed three
times and once ambushed and left
| for dead but eventually obtained
/ legislation to protect the rights of
the Indians He organized an am
/ bulance corps to serve in the Boer
I War and rendered similar service in
! London during the World war.
| He went back to India in 1915.
The idea of sef-determination
| had taken deep root in that empire
and it burst into fame when 800 In
dams were killed and 2000 wounded
in the Amritsar uprising and In
dams of the Punjab were made to
crawl through certain streets in hui
initiating punishment for rioting.
Gradually Gandhi assumed direc-
ton of the campaign of protest
against what have been called The
Punjab atrocities" and his sway
over the millions of Hindus has
steadily gained force until he is
called in India "Mahatma," or the
wonder worker.
