cr'--but it is all strictly up-to-date
so much so that q good deal Of
modern history is, perhaps uncon-
sciously, echoed in the story, which
is a spectacular adaptation of George
Barr McCutchcon's famous novel.
Miss Davies plays the heroine, an
American girl, cousin to the crown
prince Of European Kingdom, who,
to aid her royal relative, engages in
a daring masquerade, in which, in his
uniform, and with her hair clipped
short, she impersonates him to foil
the plot Of a prctender to the throne.

feet is the illusion. In her uniform
the star is almost double for the
Prince of Wales.

1t is seldom that two such strong

duction in itself is worthy of being
the headliner. The first to be shown
is First Nationals latest special

Lyon, Aileen Pringle and an all star
cast. Ben Lyon has appeared In
many excellent picture plays and was
shown at this theatre only last week

DeMille's latest, entitled Silence"
An all star cast plays in this picture
and among the most prominent are

Silence is a real sensational photo
play. Thousands have seen this great

delights every audience.
Short subjects to be shown today
include an Alice Day Pathe comedy
and an International News Weekly.

When the live wire members of
James Fitzgerald Post No 2, Ameri-
can Legion, of this city, started the
year with a membership drive. the
slogan of which was Double 1925
before September l." many thought
that an impossible mark had been
set, but last evening Harry o. Bar
ney. past commander of the post
and chairman Of the membership
committee, announced that with still
three weeks to go the goal had been
reached with four to spare.
This is a record that will compare
most favorably with any post in the
country, as the Augusta post today
numbers more than 200 members in
excess of any other post in the State
OF Maine, Portland and Bangor not
excepted.
The total membership of James
Fitzgerald Post as announced last
evening is $50, as against 273 in 1925.
To reach this total every eligible vet
eran in the city has been approached
and practically every man mas be-
come member of the organization.
Chairman Barney has secured $40 of
these members, 302 of Which were
new ones and he lays claim to the
world championship as a go getter
membership solicitor.
In speaking Of the showing .f the
local post last evening Nj. Barney
said, Il want one thing understood
and that is that many of the Eem-
bers did their bit in securing the
names of prospects and signing them
up and in travelling around to the
four corners after the buddies.
After I had been instrumental in Sc
curing 800 members for 1925 l
threw my hat into the ring for e.,
championship and since then the
other boys have helped in every way
they could to put Augusta on the
Legion map. My hope is that every
1926 member will keep up the good
work and renew in 1927"
1t was principally through the
. 3rk of Ch"i"~,an D"~ncy that the
post started the year with half a
hundred more members than they
had in 1925 and thus secured the
American Legion citation for meri-
torious service which was presented
to posts who began the year with a
membership equal to or more than
that Of the previous year When this
hope was realized Barney pushed the
goal ahead and said I'VE will go over
the 400 mark with James FITZGERALD
Post this year. but he quickly
raised the ante again and made it
double @the 1925 mark. And he
got it. -
