in a professional capacity have
aroused the suspicious of the Royal
Mounted officer. and this suspicion

Royal Mounted. The man had acted
anything but like a fugitive-yet the
orders were to bring him in But
the officer could not bring himself

Words of highest praise and ex-

ADJUSTMENTS
WAY DOWN EAST"
IS To OPEN At THE
R|ALTO ON MONDAY

Did you ever endeavor to determine
Just what it is that lifts d. w. Grif-
fith's pictures into a class peculiarly
their own. Did you ever attempt to
analyze the subtle something one al
ways experiences In watching any
one OF his productions-or that keen
sense of anticipation that prompts
the resolve not to miss the attraction
whenever it is announced for pres
entation?
The answer is perhaps summed up
best in the single word. humanness,
and in no production which ID. w.
Griffith has ever brought to the
screen is this element any more pro-
nounced than in Way Down East,
the attraction the Rialto announces
for a three days engagement start
ing Monday, and for the first time,
at popular prices.
Humannes is Griffith's most pro-
life trait. His is the genius that
combines elaboration. spectacular
display and overpowering drama, but
at all times basing his entire struc-
ture on the solid foundation OF hu-
manness, and there you have the
secret of why he is conceded the most
gifted of all the directors, the man
who has brought more innovations
more genuinely valuable screen docu-
nents to the public than any man
connected with the industry. And
this record he has held since the
early launching of the cinema.
ssWay Down East reflects in COM
pelling. convincing fashion Griffith's
nnmistakable appreciation of human
valuation. and emotional import. He
has produced picture that before
the first reel in unwound will be
found nesting close to the heart OF
everyone in the audience. In the hu-
NOR it is spontaneous. in the pathos
it is sincere. in the drama 1t is real,
in the lesson it is overpoWering, ana
in the thrills it is positively the
most realistic thing ever before Of
fered the public no matter through
what medium of presentation. 1t
eelipses the stage version so COM
nletelv as to be of another world, and
vet II follows the original version
literally step by step. No liberties
have been taken with the story. but
Griffith it is who can see beauty In
a stone who can sense a lesson in
tree or a flower, and who appreciated
in the story of Anna Moore" the
y,itifl1I little heroine of "Way Down
Fast" the personification of woman
hood through all the a6es. Since
time began. mans most beautiful
dream; the most sought after; the
most eagerly desired has been woman,
but too often is the urge prompted
and fed by sheer passion rather than
by the ennobling inspiration of true
love. Thus it was with ANNA Moore.
thus it was with Cleopatra. thus II
was with Helen of Troy, thus it has
been and is now with womankind the
world over Woman the sought after
and woman the victim and stu
woman the greatest power for good
in all the world. These are the
things Griffith saw In way Down
East and whether his treatment has
been a beautiful idyllic scene of pas
toral grandeur, or whether it is the
breath taking. hair raising ice break
and rescue at the falls Griffith's
stamp of genius is apparent, and for
this reason, it reflects what critics
to a man have been pleased to term
the most wondrous picture ID. W.
Griffith has ever made.

 Over fifty years ago this noted physician gave to the world Pre- scription which has never been equaled for the weaknesses of, women. Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, NJ r., long since found out what isl naturally best for women's diseases. He learned it all through treating) thousands of cases. The result of his studies was a medicine called Doctor Pierce's Favorite sPrescrip-i ton.

Pinehurst, N. C.. April 8.--Henry B. Topping of Greenwich won the North and South amateur golf cham picnship today by defeating F. K. Robeson of Rochester and in the 36-hole finals.
 Three down at the end of the morning round. Topping made sem sational comeback during the after noon while Robeson's form fell off and he failed to maintain his usual pace.
 The turn of the game came on the first nine holes of the afternoon, after halving the first hole in well played fours, Topping won the second when he holed from off the green for a three. Robeson got his lead back to three again by winning the fourth but, starting at the sixth, he lost five straight holes.
 Topping played the five holes in two over. yet he won each one. This gave him a lead of two holes and he increased it to three with a par four at the thirteenth, lost the four teenth. but regained the hole with a par three at the fifteenth. He had putt to win the sixteenth but Robe son conceded him halye.

Major Leaguers Are AM Set For Opening of 1922
 Season Next Wednesday

one game is going to tell the story of the greatness of either, but if all four games are played and the series breaks even, rest assured that two fighters arc in the ring against the Giants.
 Brooklyn will be honed to a nicety to try to defeat New York. The breach between Robinson and his old partner. McGraw. never has been healed, and probably never will be. Bobby will fight his head off to win from the Giants.
 Cincinnati Is fairly likely to be suc- cessful against Chicago, because the Cubs do not seem to have much. They haven't really given a line on what strength they may possess, but the information which comes from the camp is not very heartening.
 Boston will probably win the series from Philadelphia because 1t is' all most inevitable that the Phillies will have to do a lot of experimenting with pitchers.
 In the American
 Now take skip over the country and look at the little battle which must come off between the New York Americans and Washington at Wash ington. It's a meeting of two teams which are always close fighters, and it is the first of 22 games, none of which can be trifled with. Whenever Washington and New York meet this year. 1t is to be a meeting of pos sible championship leaders, until the time arrives when one or the other will have to acknowledge that 1t Is out of the fight. Judging. by the quail ity of baseball that is being played by Washington this spring and par ticularly by the manner in which they played against Boston. it looks as if the Yankees will find this team IS much thorn in their thick hides as they found 1t in 1921.
 The Bostons and Philadelphia Americans will play one of those sedate games for which the Athletics are now famous. If Hugh Duffy has put together team which can bat as well as seems likely. the Athletics will need two or three of their pitch ing staff as usual to get through the show.

DOBBS ARMSTRONG STAFF OF HURLERS READY FOR ACTION
Pelican Pilot Has Gathered Together a Gang of Big
 League Hand Downs
Fly CLIFF oBBO

New Orleans, April S.-(Special. J. Johnny Dobbs smiles with satisfac- ton over the prospects he has to en- ter the 1922 pennant race In the Southern association, but this does not mean that the Pelican chief has made his final selection by any means. His team is still in the ex- perimental stage, but before his az gregation goes to the post" at Mo- bile on Wednesday, he may spring several surprises for the fans of the John Martin circWt.
 As usual, Dobb@ has lined up about one of the grsndest arrays of hurl- CTS ever on the roster of any club in the leagYk and one which ought to play considerable havoc with the aspiring sluggers of the league. In George McQuillan, former Philadel- phia hurler, Dohbs has a most de- pendable man, and one who should lead the Pelican hurlers. John Miljus, with Brooklyn last year. reported to Dobbs Wednesday and is counted on to win a lot of games. Molly Craft, formerly with Reading and late of Shreveport. and John Paul Jones, last year with Indianapolis, are the other new hurlers. Eddie Matteson. Joe Martina, Bill James and Abe Bailey of last years team, are the other moundsmen.
 At first base. Fred Snake" Henry Is a certainty. He hit over 300 last year in the Texas league and is fast man on the bases. He Is one of the most "elastic' first sackers in the business. and 1t t predicted that he will make the Pel fans forget Red Bluhm. Cotton Knaupp will be back at second, but the other lnfield posi- fiana nnHarfain a this writing Johnny Wight, college boy pur- chased by the Yankees, is holding down short temporarily. with Andy Foss in reserve. Foss was on the bench with Washington last year Johnny Monroe. with the Giants and Philadelphia and formerly with Beau mont, probably will be tried out at third, but Eddie Bogart is regular third sacker. Manager Dobbs has he may report before the opening game.
 Hard Hitters
 In the outfield, Dobbs has "Old Dan" Tucker, who hit .437 with Ce- dartovh, In the Georgia State league last year, and who was turned back to the Pelicans by the Yankees Larry Gilbert is cavorting around center and Don Brown will handle the left field duties.
 Bob Dowie, with Memphis last year. and Gil Meyers, last year Pelican, are the receivers.
 Dobbs also expects to land another catcher in addition to shortstop. He predicts that he will have the great est base running team in the history of the Southern association, and. with good hurlers, expects to be In the pennant contention all the way

 In preseason battling the Barons have shown considerable form, win ming the majority of their games. Here are their games with organized baseball teams:
 Lost to Chicago White Sox at Rickwood.
 Defeated Louisville American asaociatiOn team, at Rici1wOod.
 Lost to st. Paul American as- sociation team, at Redwood.
 Defeated st. Paul nt Rickwood.
 Defeated Detroit Americans at RicIxwood.
 Defeated Meridian Cotton States Ieaguers at Meridian.
 Only two defeats out of six games, five of them with teams of higher classification than the Barons. that's the 1922 exhibition game record of the Birmingham Southern leaguers. Listed among their victims are some mighty strong teams.
 Moley's men have shown ten- dency to paste the agate during pre- sea son battling. The Barons have compiled batting percentage of .263 for exhibition season.

mingham last season. This year he will be pitching for Birmingham against Nashville.
 Hope to Repeat
 Harking back to that memorable battle, the fans can hardly hope to see as pretty game as was staged In 1921. The Barons won 1t 4-3 in the fourteenth. Three of the men that helped win it are no longer on the local pay roll. Tommy Taylor started the fourteenth with a single and was forced at second when Ralph Croll went safe on a fielder's choice Gooch advanced Croll to second with a single and Pug Allen was then sent in to pinch-hit :or Whitehill. Pugnacio doubled to left and the Barons won the game.
 Whitehill allowed nine hits for the IA innings last year in the opener and Statham allowed 14 averaging one blow each frame. Fans are pray ing for another such thriller next Wednesday, but are not expecting it, as big crowds, ground rules and superfluity of ceremonies usually get the clubs up in the air and the boys do not play their best game.
 President D. k. McClendon of the city commission, has declared half holiday for Wednesday and many of the stores have signified their in- tention of closing, but no organized drive along these lines has been made. Civic pride is causing many local merchants to close shop We'd nesday But, without the organized effort, Birmingham will probably. turn out one of the biggest opening day crowds in the league and stands chance to win the trophy.
