BULLDOG DRUMMOND"
AT RYLANDER..

Warwick Warde who portrays the
character of DR.. Lexington, the fana-
tical doctor in Bulldog Drummond,"
at the Rylander Tuesday, deserves
high praise for an exceptional piece
of work. Mr.. Warde is an English
actor of note and takes his work
very seriously. Those who have seen
him in this picture believe it. The
word villain inadequately describes
the character he depicts. With a
few accessories such as thumb-screws
and torture devices that would have
done credit to the Spanish Inquisi-
ton he makes the Characterization
of DR.. Lexington a veritable field

"THE LAST TRAIL"
AT OPERA HOUSE.

Nearly every reader of redblood-
ed American fiction, probably, has
read stories by Zane Grey. Even
the few who have not at least known
him by reputation as the past master
of tales of daring and adventure
dealing with life in the wilder re-
gions of the great West.
Four of Zane Grey's stories screen
ed by Fox with William Farnum as
the star have achieved sensational
success throughout the country.
These are, Riders of the Purple
Stage" THE Rainbow Trail" The
Lone Star Ranger" and The Last
of the Duanes." These thrilling film
dramas are unforgettable by any
one who has seen them.
Now comes a fifth Zane Grey
story produced as a motion picture
'super-speciaP' by Fox. The Last
TraiP' is to open an engagement
here at the Opera House today and
Tuesday. Here is a tale of mys-
terry, of lone bandits operations, of
bursting dam and flooded town, of
speedy action. valor and tender ro-
nance. Surely The Last. Trail
handled by Fox, should prove won
derfully fine entertainment

RS of the Albany-South Georgia Fair

only about $4,000. 1t is beneved
that this is the only way the debts
of the association can be paid and

,contended, the fair will never make
enough on operations to pay its
debts.

is custom inherited from the age of
witchcraft, magic and taboo. that the
clergy is suppressed, chained pro-

BY ALEXANDER HERMAN
NEA Service Staff Writer

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-What is
ahead in religion?
A militant ministry patterned af-
ter a spectacular and revolutionary
leadership of DR.. Percy Stickney
Grant?
Or must this meteor among preach
ers stand trial for heresy-for his
declaration that Christ did not have
the power of God?
These questions grow enormously
in interest as the religious world
waits to see whether DR.. Grant re-
cants, resigns or is tried according to
his Episcopal bishops ultimatum.
DR.. Grant has held the center of the
spotlight through tempestuous ca
reer-fghting church doctrines, and
fighting a personal fight to marry
Mrs. Rita H. deAlba deAcosta Lydig,
twice married and twice divorced.
He is noted for radical Sermons; and
he is the author Of poems and essays,
of such books as Socialism and Chris
tianity," and Fair Play For Tie
Worker
His notable book of poems, GA
Fifth Avenue Parade and Other
Poems," published last year by Har-
per & Bros, had this dedication: ITO
Rita H. de Alba deAcosta, an ambi-
tious and stimulating intelligence
gifted with a knowledge of the beau
tiful, Tanagra CURE come to life, a
captivating companion"
The sequel to these chapters of his
life remain to be written:
CHAPTER l.
Percy Stickney Grant was 26 years
old when he graduated in 1886 from
the Episcopal Theological School at
Boston, his home. Assigned to Fail
River, his ideas about running the
church were somewhat different from
thoe of the vestry. But his social
service work attracted attention and
he earned a call to the Church of the
Ascension, ew York. He came in
1898, but>only on condition that pews
be free and that the church be open
every day-two revolutionary ideds
at that time.
CHAPTER II.
In New York DR.. Grant became
known as a friend of the working
man. In 1907 he organized a public
forum in the church. By 1919 he
had had clashes with conservatives in
the vestry who organized a committee
to investigate his teaching doctrine
contrary to the doctrines of the
doctrines of the church" There was
