MARY PICKFORD'S

The people of Augusta who like the
stories of Mrs. Eleanor II. Porter and
those who like Mary Pickfords acting

enjoy both Saturday at 10 A. NJ. when
the picture. "Pollyanna' will be shown
at the Colonial Theatre. AS this is
for the benefit of the Harrington and
Williams schools admission will be
but 15c. This picture has never be-
fore been shown at reduced rates.
Critics everywhere assert that pol
lyanna" is one of the greatest picture
plays ever filmed. The reason for this
is that the philosophy upon which the
story is based constituted a theme
which at the present time has an I'M
usually wide appeal.
Undoubtedly Mary Pickford, with
characteristic far-sightedness, had this
in mind when she chose this celebrat-
ed work as he first vehicle for the
United Artists Corporation.
1t is believed that this production,
coming at time when the country is
upset by period Of readjustment, will
have an unprecedented reception from
the picture patrons.
Miss Pickford points out in this
story that even when things are bad
they might be worse. This thought.

C0MM'R, SPENCER POINTS OUT

IN REAL INSURANCE PROTECTION

Hon. Wilbur d. Spencer Of Ber-

In a statement issued Thursday, ad-

companies afford the best insurance
protection.
ut Is to be presumed that every in
d;vidual, or corporation, who seeks to
provide indemnity against loss of any
kind, is anxious to procure the best
contract at the minimum Of expense,
says Commissioner Spencer.
There is, however, danger line,

which one descends at his peril, for

carrier is to be regarded as the trus-

ideal execution of such a trust as
sumes the definite character of a

while, in strict accord with the
underlying Theory of the Workmen's

adjusted by the Insurance Depart
