OPERA HOUSE
Vaudeville and Pictures. Considered
Best Show of the Season. Matinee
2.15. two Evening Shows at 5.45
and 800

pr the past three months the
VAUDEVILLE shows at the Augusta
Opera House have been high class in
every way, and the Augusta public
has been loud in their praise for
nearly every change. The bill offered
this week is considered by all who
have seen it to be absolutely the best
from every standpoint that has ever
been shown in Augusta. It should
be the best show as it is the con-
siderably more expensive than any
of the past.
Gabby Bros. open the bill with a
novel act of juggling. and comedy.
They have drawn more applause than
any act of similar nature. and their
performance Is remarkable. Miss
Irene Trevette is a very charming
French girl and her presentation of
several songs in both French and
American has been warmly received.
LaF'ollette is a sensation in his act
of mystery called 1.-The Man with
Many Faces" This is perhaps the
most novel act of the season. Sully
and Mack In their comedy sketch
1.-THE Great Lovers are a. scream,
and present a line of comedy that
keeps every audience in an uproar
for a solid Is minutes. The closing
act is Alma and Duval accompanied
by Harry Click in a dancing presen-
tation entitled Fantastic Dances"
This is perhaps the most artistic at
traction of the season. and s al
ready the talk of the town.
The picture program consists Of
Jack Pickford and Norma Shearer in
Their latest United Artists proauc-
ton waking up the Town" an Edu-
cational comedy and Pathe news.
There are three shows today, and
matinee at 2.15 and the two evening
performances at 5.45 and 500. No
seats are reserved. and inasmuch as
all three performances will play to
capacity houses. due to the excel
lence of the show 1t would be wise
to come earl' and get seats rather
than stand. Many people are taking
advantage of the cupper show which
starts at 545 and ends at 500. The
doors open for this show at 5.3O.-

Indian Attack Screen Thrill
The Ind: ans have taken the war
path again.
A grim host of $500 Navaios, strip
ped bare with the exception of tight
skin caps. breech cloths and mecca
sins, their lean bodies blackened with
the charcoal from lightning struck
trees, charged across the hot floor of
the Painted Desert on lean Navajo
ponies.
Shrill, blood chilling cries escaped
the thin lips of the riders as they
swept onward, paying scant atten-
ton to their saddleless horses and
occupying themselves almost wholly
with their tough hide shields. long
spears and bows and arrows.
Forgotten was the fact that the
Navajos gave up war forever nearly
sixty years ago; forgotten was the
fact that they were reproducing
battle against the whites in order
that motion picture cameras might
capture the scene to be used with
hundreds of the other scenes that 60

Wilson, who witnessed the scene
from position alongside the cam
eras. 1T did not seem to me that
among those horrifying black riders
were any Of the easy going, almost
gentle silversmiths with whom I had
traded only the afternoon before.
They seemed to me to have been
kindled with a flaming passion to
crush and kill. Their black ewes

Of their warrior forefathers had been |
awakened In them. don't think |
anyone can doubt my sincerity when |

those scenes"
After this particular battle Sc
quence had been completed in the
course of five days. a huge barbecue
and field meet was staged with the
red warriors as the honored guests
and good will prevailed on all sides
Later the same warriors took part
with several thousand other Navajo
men, women and children in other
scenes of 1.-THE Vanishing American"
The filming of this picture kept
company of 500 white people on the
reservation in Arizona over a
period OF four months.
