At The Movies
ELTINCE THEATRE

"The Top of the World" which is
being shown at the Eltinge today
and Thursday is Of the action va
rlety of motion picture and the
story is by Ethel N. Dell. The ac-
ton of the play develops in South
Africa and no little excitement is
furnished the spectator by very real
istic flood scenes in which James
Kirkwood and Anna @. Nilsson are
swept before the fury Of the rag
ing waters.
Next to the amazingly realistic
storm effects, the acting of the
leading players deserves honorable
mention. Miss Nilsson makes her
part stand out by reason Of her sim
certify and naturalness, while Kirk
wood makes the most of a very diff
ficult dual role-he impersonates
both cousins-and gives such a fine
performance as to overshadow any,
thing hey has ever done before. Ray
mond Hatton and Sheldon Lewis, as
usual, are very effective.
THE CAPITOL
The stage is always an interest
ing profession, and it is of unusual
interest when woman Of Wanna
Do MouIIeI type determines TO
keep her cherished youth and main
tain her place among the famous
actresses of the world, despite the
crushing and seemingly inevitable
burden of advancing years. Wanna
and her mimic world. with all the
troubles which beset her when she
goes to Vienna to have her lost
charm and vivacity restored, are sub
jected to a brutal and brilliant scru-
tiny in "Vanity's Price" an F. B. O.
picture which opens at the Capitol
Theatre tonight. Seldom, if ever
hasa more powerful dramatic sub
ject been displayed upon the screen
than the new Paul Bern story, which
is brilliantly acted by an all star
cast. Among the featured players
who make this subject one of the
outstanding picture successes Of the
year are Anna Q. Nilsson, Lucille
Ricksen, Cissie Fitzgerald, Wyndhan
Standing, Stuart Holmes and Arthur
Rankin.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 2.-"No state

Cisl overy Taken Seriously

Canada which boasts two eminent
discoveries in the field of medicine
has taken more interest in the pro-
fessed virtue of the "truht serum"
of the Texan criminologist DR.. r. E..
House, than have the American
courts thu star. A recent demonstra-
ton was made at Windsor, Ontario,
that was pronounced entirely salts

were put to sleep with this drug, cal

piled with questions and proof SEEM

conceal the truth, which is the boast

method might be of great value in
determining the guilt or innocence
of accused persons if the courts
would ALLOW its use, and since there
are no harmful effects the time may
come when it will be put into prac-
tice.

Florida-Georgia Club

The number of Florida visitors at
Indian Springs has been unusually
large this year, and led to the or
ganization of a Florida-Georgla club
which has been meeting once week
at the different hotels, and fostering
a spirit of cooperation between the
citizens of the two states. Some edi-

Famous Fight To Be
Shown by Legion

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 2.-When the
American Legion presents its mill
tary spectacle, "The Storming of
Cornay," at Lakewood September 8,
tn emilitary features will be in charge
of Captain W. A. Cunningham,
Twenty-second Infantry, who won his
D. S. C. at that very action.
The taking Of CoCrnay was the
most important action in which the
Eighty-second Division, trained in
Atlanta, took part. 1t was vital part
of the Meuse-Argonne offensive.
Strategically its storming has been
considered by military critics as the
most important achievement of
American arms in that great battle.
The taking of Cornay was the
ond, retaken by the Germans by a
furious counter-attack and again re-
taken by the. Americans three days
later. Throughout the four days the
fighting was desperate.
1t was at Cornay that Sergeant
York's rife gained immortal fame.
Captain Cunningham or Alex Cum
ningham, as he was known when he
coached Georgia's football team, was
major, commanding battalion all
through that fight.
Because of conspicuous behavior
on the field of battle he won not on
ly his own country's D. S. c., but
the French Croix de Guerre with
palms and the Italian War Cross. Ev-

Going After Quality

He is already planning to use his tobacco barn
for something else, and he will put his tobacco
land in cotton next year.
Just those that make high grade tobacco
will stay in the game. To produce tobacco OF
high grade requires combination OF two or
three things. There must, first of all, be good
land. There is lot of good tobacco land In
South Georgia. This item will not restrict us

second essential is good demonstrators.
The warehouse people should closely super

strators Some of them are good workmen and
give fine service, while others are but blind

more important thing is that the growers
should be men who are capable of learning

are always slothful and Indifferent in their
work They will not do for the tobacco bust
ness 1t is work that requires the closest at

alton.
Also the tobacco grower must be man who
is fiend for work He must have an abun-
dance of labor that he can command at the
critical period Tobacco will not wait for at
tention when it makes the call.
The tobacco grower who succeeds will have
the right kind of land, will become a student
of tobacco growing and curing, and he will
be hard worker-Moultrie Observer.

POWER SHORTAGE WILL
BE RELIEVED BY Use
OF MUSCLE SHOALS
Lack of Water Causes Acute Power
Shortage. Several Units of Tur-
bine Batteries at Muscle
Will Be Used for Relief

Florence, Ala, Aug. 29.-Harnes-
sing of Muscle Shoals, a dream of
years is an actuality today.
Water was turned on one of the
units of a great battery of turbines
and the energy generated later will
be flashed through an inter-connect-
ing system into several southern
states.
This achievement will go down in
history. inhabitants of the Tennessee
Valley believe, as marking new
electrical age. The demonstration
today constituted the first concrete
result of an expenditure of about
$51, 100000 by the federal govern
ment. The building of Wilson dam
and the great steam power plant adj
jacent was begun nearly seven years
ago. The work is now more than 95
per cent complete. About June1 next
year the workmen will turn over
finished job. There were 1921 pers-
ons employed on the reservation this
week. The force has been gradually
reduced from 5000.
Visited by Tourist Throngs
On the eve Of completion, Wilson
dam is the mecca for thousands of
tourists. Not day passes but Off
GERS are besieged for passes. More
than $4,000 visitors were registered
during one month of this year.
The dam is described by govern
ment officers as one of the engineer
ing achievements Of the country. 1t
is the longest concrete structure in
the United States and from river bed
to crest reaches height of 1872 feet.
The length is nearly 5000 feet.
The generator started today is one
in battery of four generating 3d.
900 horsepower each. Four others of
5000 horsepower are being placed
and the eight combined turbines will
have capacity of 264,000 horse
power. The other turbines will be pro-
duced' is reckoned at $4,000 horse
power.
Long before the World war the
government has interested itself in
Muscle Shoals, the question of navi-
cation from Peducah to Chattanooga
and even Knoxville had received SER
ious attention and certain appropria-
lions.
Plant Built During War
The government found in the pow
er possibilities of the Shoals and the
strategic location, elements that
made this point on the river an ideal
site for war plant. Work was start
ed with vim and continued until the
end of the war. Then operations were
stopped and a period of waiting came
to a district vitality interested. The
question later came before congress
and the final disposition of the prop
erty is still an undecided matter and
one of great public interest.
Meantime it was decided to con-
tinue the original plans and money
was appropriated to complete Wilson
dam and some of the other units.
Overnight the Shoals district expert
enced a metamorphosis and the hum
of activity has increased more and
more, the uncertainty of final dispo-
sition seemingly being lost sight of nj
the effort to harness the waters that
for centuries have gone to waste.
