AUGUSTA OPERA HOUSE

We write our own reviews, so as
to be honest with our patrons. 1t
would be less trouble to clip and re-
print what the Press Books say
about each picture, only we find that
these reports are frequently inflated
and misleading: therefore we prefer
to review each picture ourselves
and tell you about them. 1.-THE
Measure of a Man" lives up to its
title, inasmuch as 1t gives William
Desmond plenty of good opportunities
TO measure uD to the tasks set up to
him. And he does. Throughout it
is well acted and the heroine is pretty
and charming. The second feature,
Love and Glory" features dainty
Aladge Bellamy with Charles de
Roche in a very elaborate production.
The story is based upon a true bio
grahpy Of one "Anatole-one Of the
great heroes of France: it carries the
spectator through n good number of
years-showing the lovers when they
We're young and again when they, at
