WORLD FAMOUS NOVEL "Sr.
ELMO" PRODUCED ON SCREEN
AFTER 81 YEARS OF SUCCESS
AS STAGE PLAY AND BOOK

Lirary Records Show "st. Elmo
Among Most Popular Fiction Of
the Day. Still a BEST Seller.
Meteoric Novels Appear and Fade
Into Oblivion, but Evans Story
Goes on.
The announcement by the Colonial
Theatre that the William Fox screen
version of Augusta j. Evans popular
novel, st Elmo" with John Gilbert
in the title role, is coming to this
city for a two day run, recalls a re-
! cent interview with a prominent New
York woman librarian concerning
the continued popularity of this
romance.
"'St Elmo the librarian stated,
was published back in 1866, shortly
after the close of the Civil War, and
it swept both the North and the
Souh by storm. 1t was the literary
sensation of the time.
Even today. it keeps pace with
! the modern best sellers which burst
! into the limelight with meteoric bril-
lance and as quickly fade into
| oblivion. Only right up with each
succeeding group of best sellers
Another interesting thing about the
book. 1t is read by boys and girls in
their adolescence and by grown-up
! men and women.
This faculty of Miss Evans to
write wildly, engrossingly dramatic
ally. yet with subtle nuances under
lying the whole is the prime reason
for the continued popularity of the
novel.
'As a stage vehicle, st. Elmo re-
mains one of the favorite offerings
of repertoire companies.
And now ] am told it has been
made into picture by Mr.. Fox. 1t
is ideal screen material"
The William Fox screen version of
st. Elmo includes John Gilbert,
starring in the title role, Barbara La
MARI. Bessie Love. Warner Baxter,
Nigel De Brullier and Lydia Knott.

the Jimmie Evans Musical Comedy
Co., Scores HEAVILY,


The theatre goers Of Augusta and
vicinity certainly enjoyed last even
ing's performance of Lets CO.
presented by Evans Musical Comedy
Company at the Augusta Opera
House judging from the large at
tendance and applauding of the sew
eral numbers. The company made
decided hit and each and every
one who saw it went away with the
conviction that it is one Of the
cleanest and finest program seen in
Augusta in many a month.
The show. from start to finish, is
one clean, witty mirth, with an ample
supply of high-class singing inter-
spersed in it's many scenes.
Miss Florence Pippin is especially
charming in her violin and singing
acts. The comic side of the enter
tainment is handled in truly a
masterful style by Jimmie Evans
and Tom Carroll. These two produce
gales of laughter with their antics.
Every other comedy act in the
play is equally good, and the dis
tinctive feature of it all and one that
merits particular comment, Is the
fact that not one suggestive line is
heard throughout the entire lenght
of the long program.
The company will present for to-
day and tomorrow their latest
royalty success Bright Lights of
Broadway" Offering an entirely
change of songs, dances, settings,
effects. comedy, ETC., with an entire
ly new photoplay program. The
company is we'll worth the patron

lions of the vast possibilities Of the
radio telephone we're made by the
scientists and enoineers Of the Bell
System back in 1915.
Speech was successfully trapsmitted
that year from New York City over
the wire of the Bell System to the
radio station at Arlington, Va, and
thence by wireless to the radio station
ut Mare Island, Cal. ~
Later that year, still more remark
able demonstration was made by the
Bell System engineers, when words
spoken into. the radio telephone at
Arlington, Va, were heard with re-
markable clearness at the Eiffel tower
in Paris and In the Hawaiian Islands.
This demonstration established long
distance radio telephone record which
has never been surpassed.

Providing America with an ade-
