the French concept of modern
motion picture building. The
direction is nothing short of
atrocious and, save in two or
three instances, the acting is
not much better.
The main fault Of the produc-
tion-for any film rs reels long
comes under the head Of produc-
TOMS it's literal mirroring of
the Hugo book. Even the sub
titles, many of them ludicrous,
when estimated as titles, are
taken from the book. One can
actually sense the French rever-
ence for Hugo's work, by this
unimaginative translation. Bluntly
the people who made the film
viewed the material in hand as
sacred and refrained from apply"
ing such sacrilegtous thing as
mentality to it's making.
Endless footage is consumed
in emphasizing trivialities, pictur-
ing people in routine situations
that could be dismissed with a
three-word title. Not the slightest
and most uninteresting gesture
but what is accomplished, re-
tarding the story and lending to
its incoherence and seeming to
say we're a multitude of morons.
Retitling and considerable edit

NOTABLE SPEAKERS
AT Big MISSIONARY
Meeting ON WE'D.

At the Green Street Methodist
Episcopal church next Wednesday,
Augusta will have the privilege OF
hearing two of the great religious
leaders Of the country. Bishop W.
F. Anderson OF Boston and Bishop
Frederick Fisher Of India will be
present at a Missionary rally held in
the interest of all the Methodist
churches in the Augusta District.
Some 80 or 40 ministers and as many
laymen are expected. The w. H. NJ.
T. of the District also will be pres
ent. Several returned missionaries
will also speak.
The program will begin at 10
o'clock Wednesday morning and will

ing meeting as well.
Doubtless neighboring churches
and the people of Augusta will take
advantage of this opportunity to hear
these distinguished churchmen and
world travellers.
