~. TALLAHASSEE, Fla, August This
the capital city of Florida, is making
preparations for a centennial cele
bration during the week of Novem-
per 9-15. marking the hundredth
anniversary of the state as a legisia-
tive unit.
= The history that lies back of the
plan for the celebration embodies
several events that stand out promi-
nently in the record of the United
States. In 1918, Gen. Andrew Jack
Son, without authority from Congress,
but, according to belief that has
been given expression, with tacit
consent of the cabinet in Washing
ton, invaded Florida. then Spanish
territory. He marched with 5000
men from Fort Gads en- on the Apa-
lachicola River to St. Marks in Wa
kulla County, raised the American
flag, hanged two leading Indians and
two British subjects.
In consequence of this demonstra-
tion of Spanish weakness. Spain in
1919 consented to the purchase OF
Florida by the United States. and by
1921 every portion of the territory
was surrendered to the United States
IL
Later. in 1922, a legislative council
for West Florida was held in Pen
sacola, and the next year legisla-
tive council for East Florida was held
In st. Augustine
: This form of administration was
found to present difficulties, however,
and an agreement was reached that
Legislation should emanate for the
whole territory, from central point
equidistant from Pensacola and St.
Augustine. Thereupon. two COM
missioners were appointed. and early
in 1924 Indian fields belonging to the
Seminoles, north of ST. Marks, on the
highlands of the present Leon county.
were purchased and the site Of the
capital selected. On that site the first
Legislative council for the territory
of Florida was held in a log hut. 1t
is this event that is to be commem-
grated.
| The celebration will have as lead
ing features historic pageants, mill
tary and other parades in Tallahassee,
while all churches and schools
throughout the state are expected to
join in the commemorative exercises.

Palace-Mary Pickford, ir
Dorothy Vernon of
Haddon Hall"

That the only Mary can perform as
we'll in costume productions as in the
ordinary run of. screen drama--a
matter that has been disput eds
thoroughly demonstrated this week
at Loew'S Palace Theater, which is
screening Dorothy Vernon of Had
don Hail." with Mary Pickford in the
principal role. Mary gives to the
perturbation of Charles Majors story
all her personal charm and delightful
artistry, which ought to be enough
to make any screen play worth while
The Dorothy Vernon of the story is
mistress of Haddon Hall. an old En-
gliSh manor, and has her own ideas
about marriage. She is in love with
John Manners, but his family is sup
posed to be disloyal to the crown, and
her father finally forces her to con-
sent to marriage with a man of his
choice. Rumors come to her of Man
ners' diminishing love, and jealousy
dominates her. She betrays to the
English forces Manners. as well as
Mary, Queen of Scots, who has en-
tered England through his aid, but
Dorothy repents, and all ends we'll
Mary's Interpretation of the prin-
cipal character of Majors story is
wonderfully delightful. And so is
Clare Eames' performance as Queen
Elizabeth. Allan Forrest does very
well as John Manners and Estelle
Taylor makes a noble Queen Mary.
The Photography is altogether pleas
ing.
The length of the feature necessar-
lily reduces the auxiliary program,
but the Pathe News reel shown is
more than ordinarily interesting, and
there is an abundance of humor in
the Aesop Fable picture. Much
pleasure is to be cleaned from the
