Monday and Tuesday-Firmin Gem

rector, has a leading part in Rex In
grams production of "The Magician"
It might be said that Gemier is to
France what a blend of David War
field and David Belasco are to this
country-if such a comparison be per
missible. He is the director of the
Theatre National de l'Odeon of France
Of the Trocadero Of Paris, is an Of
ficer Of the Legion Of Honor, the Or
der Of Leopold of Belgium and the
Royal Order of Denmark. He is also
generally regarded as the leading ac-
tor Of France and is known every
where the footlights shine. Previous
to meeting Ingram in France, while
the young director was preparing to
film "Mare Nostrum," Gemier had not
taken the cinema seriously, and, in
fact, had turned down many offers to
appear before the camera, as well as
to direct. During the filming Of some
of the important scenes of Mare
Nostrum' along the Riviera, Gemier

interested in motion pictures he
agreed to appear before the camera
in one of Ingram's films, if ever there
was part for him. When Ingram
picked "The Magician" Gemier ac-
cepted the opportunity to play lead
ing part. Those interested in the
theatre may recall that Gemier made
a yisi; to the United States few
years ago at the invitation Of a com
mittee made up Of John D. Rookie
feller, Otto Kahn and others. He was
received by the President, Mayor Of
New York and by leading city and

decorated David Belasco, Otto Kahn

Queen Theatre, Wilmington

The Stanley Company of America
announces the re-opening date of its
Queen Theatre, Wilmington, as New
Years Day, starting with the matinee
performance. The entertainment of
fered by the theatre will be chiefly
vaudeville, five acts of Keith's best
with three shows daily and a change
of program on Mondays and Thurs

program. The Queen Theatre has
been closed since early in July and

undergone much remodeling, repair
ing, renovating and redecorating.
Backstage work consisted in the build
ing of twelve of the finest and most
modernly-equipped dressingrooms in
the City of Wilmington. Every con-
venience that can be offered the ar
fists of the program has been provid-
ed. In addition there is a complete
equipment for the handling of stage
settings of every size and type, and
many new electrical additions that
will produce beautiful scenic effects.
The magnificent new curtains are
much on the same order as the ones
installed in the Aldine Theatre, Will
mington. They are long and graceful
hangings of rich velvet. covered with
brilliants that reflect the various
lights with a beautiful and warm eff
feet. In the front of the theatre new
draperies, new carpets, new electrical
fixtures and new fountains have been
added. The walls have been re-decor-
ated and harmonic with the carpets
and hangings, presenting a soft, com
Portable and mellow color scheme of
old rose and tan. The Queen Theatre
upon its re-opening will be the only
vaudeville theatre between Philadel-
phia and Baltimore and will serve the
theatregoers Of Wilmington, Delmar-
via Peninsula, Southwest Jersey and
bordering sections of Pennsylvania. "A
popular admission scale has been
adopted.

Disposed of a Large Number of
Civil and Criminal Gases

o. The fall term of Watauga superior

LEES -McRAE INSTITUTE
OPENING AT BANNER ELK

Lees-McRae Institute, the educa-
tional department of the Edgar Tufts
Memorial Association, began its 9th
session at Banner Elk on September
8. Two hundred students are en-
rolled and all facilities are being
taxed to their limit. In addition to
the 200 fortunate ones there were
about 25 young women turned away
for lack of room. Many were pres
ent on the opening day and were
obliged to be sent back to their homes
until more room is provided.
Edgar H. Tufts, the superinten
dent, is ably assisted by Miss Estelle
McIver, of Gulf, N. c., dean of girls,
and a corps of twelve teachers Mr..
Tufts succeeded his father in this
work four years ago and is conduct
ing one of the largest and best
known mission projects in the South
ern Presbyterian church. Miss Nc
Iver has been associated in the work
at Banner Elk for 21 years.
The building program at Banner
Elk goes steadily forward but all
buildings are in demand before they
can be completed. The plant is be-
ing built throughout of native uncut
stone, and the buildings are not only
durable but absolutely fire-proof.
The Edgar Tufts Memorial Asso-
citation composed of Lees-McRae In
stitute, Grace Hospital and Grand
father Orphanage, is conducted by
the Southern Presbyterian church
for the benefit of the people of the
Appalachian Mountain region. SO
long as there is a foot of space or
dollar of money no one is turned
aWa,' from these institutions The
WORT at Banner Elk was designed TO
educate and lpbuild section of the
south's finest but most neglected
people. It is a work that has borne
fruit in the lives Of hundreds of peo-
pie and in scores of homes through
out the mountain region which it
seeks to serve.

>BLOC WILL WELD
POWER IN NEXT SENATE

Washington, Sept. 14.-With the
consin and the probable victory of
Brookhart in Iowa, hope of political
control of the next senate by the ad-
ministration has now apparently van
ished. Even though the administra
tion will have paper majority, the
insurgents, holding the balance of
power, will really be in the saddle.
Even without Democratic gains in
November, the theoretical opposition
to Coolidge will consist of 40 Demo-
Gratis, one farmer-laborite and inc
out-and-out Republican insurgents.
Otherwise 46 Coolidge votes" and
not all of them certain by any means,
% so opposing.
If the November elections leave
the Republicans in power on paper,
with the insurgent group able to de-
feat the main Coolidge policies, the
situation will be more embarrassing
to the administration than would be
the case if the Democrats won out
right control and had to assume re-
sponsibility.
Democratic leaders assert they will
make important gains in the Novem-
Der elections, contending that Carl
Hayden, the Democratic nominee in
Arizona, will defeat Senator Came
ron, and that like fate will be
meted out to Senator Harreld in
Oklahoma by Elmer Thomas, the
Democratic choice. They also assert
that Claude Porter, the Democratic
nominee in Iowa, has good chance
of defeating Brookhsrt.

SO TO BE. BUILT ON
ORIGINAL SURVEY
Dispute, Over Location of Five-Mile
Lap From Todd to Greene's Store
Stelled by Mr. Ranes

At last the quibbie over the Ioca-
ton of the fve-mile lap of road on
Highway Ne. 50 has been settled S.
c. Eg@ers, chairman of the board of
county commis issioners, is in receipt OF
d letter from Road Commissioner A.
s. Hanes stating emphatically that
the road will be built on the original
survey, that is, from Todd to the
George Greene store where it inter
sects with the graded road.
Mr.. Hanes says bids will be re-
ceived at an early date, and it is un-
>dcrstood that before long construc-
ton work, will begin.
As our readers will remember,
there was a second survey made down
Elk Greek and up the river, tapping
the graded road at Sands, which met
with the hearty approval of the peo-
Pile whom it passed, while the citi-
zens on the upper, or original survey,
were just as enthusiastic over the
adoption of their route. A friendly
contest ensued and waged warmer as
time went by, but it seems now that
the people on the new survey are
taking their defeat very nicely.

ANOTHER ATTEMPT To
ASSASSINATE MCSSOLINI

Rome, Sept. 11.-Another attempt
has been made on the life of Premier
Mussolini. A bomb was exploded
against the premier's car, but he es-
capped unhurt.
The attack occurred a little after
10 o'clock this morning while Musso-
lini's automobile was proceeding to-
ward the Chigi Palace. A young man
named Ermete Giovannini, a stone
cutter, threw the bomb against the
car. The bomb struck a side window
of the car but fell to the earth be-
fore it exploded and the automobile
proceeded. The explosion was ter
rifle, and four passersby were in
jured.
Giovannini was Immediately ar
rested by the police agents. He said
he had arrived in Rome today from
abroad, and that he came into Italy
through the Alps, being unable to
travel by the usual routes as he was
without passports or identifying
documents. He is a native Italian.

RELIGIOUS SURVEY
WAS MADE MONDAY
Indicated That Less Than Half the
Population of Boone Attend
Religious Services

The various churches in Boone
participated in the taking of re-
ligious census Monday. All the in
formation sought is not yet tabulated
and is not available for publication
this week.
However, meeting of the work
ers was held at the Baptist church
Monday night, at which time it de-
Veloped from the cards turned in,
which numbered about 1900, that
less than half the people in Boone at
tend church or Sunday school. This
is a fact that challenges the Chris
tianity of Boone.
This challenge was understood by
the workers and it is safe gu0~r that
this challenge will be accepted in
such a way as to put the cause of
Christianity forward a good distance
in the near future.

KRAUT FACTORY HANDLES
ESQ TONS OF CABBAGE

The enormous cabbage crop in
Watauga county has been reduced
about 25O tons during the last two
weeks by the operation of the Wat
auga Kraut Factory. 1t is to be re-
gretted that the little factory does
mot have more tank room, for there
will be quite lot of cabbage go to
waste before the kraut now made can
be taken out of the tanks and room
made for another cutting.
Mr.. H. Neal Blair, the manager,
however states, that it will not be but
a few days until the canning opera
ton can be started. He is anxious to
get to it at the earliest possible date
in order TO hep save the cabbage crop
in the county, as well as to supply
the growing demand for Watauga
kraut.
The kraat now ps ksd was soll
aload of time, anG order. poG
ing in for later pack. Since the
factory began operation, an order has
been received FROM large kraut fac
tory in another state for two carloads
to be shipped to its trade. This is
quite compliment for a new indus
try to receive recognition like that
from a packer with an established
reputation.
The public. will be advised through
the columns of this paper when the
factory will resume operation.
