Short Journeys
That Invite You

Few people in the state appreciate
the many short journeys that lie at
hand for them not only in the state
but up through the White Noun
tains, where during the present
month nature, CARRIED in her au-
tumnal beauty, is at her best, writes
Philip Kicker Shorey.
With the passing of the summer
months when those in the state have
been busy caring for the wants OF
the vast horde of summer visitors,
few have been able to go forth and
see for themselves the beauties that
annually lure the visitor from every
state in the Union to the New Eng
land states.
These journeys can be taken In
one day, or prolonged if desired, and
at moderate expense to fit every
pocketbook. Special excursion rates
are now being offered by the Maine
Central Railroad from Portland un-
til October 23rd, thus affording all
a chance to get out and see nature
in her varied colored hues and visit
such well known places as the ia
nous Crawford Notch. Twin Noun
tain and the whole White Mountain
range.
Throughout the publicity cam
paign being conducted by the vari-
Gus state organizations, such as the
State of Maine Publicity Bureau,
service to our visitors has been held
foremost. Now that those in the
state who have been giving this serv-
ice are resting from their summer
work. it is their duty to go forth
and rartake of the service others
give.
This would undoubtedly give them
n broader viewpoint and thus make
them better able to give service in
return. Making new friends and
acquaintances cannot fail to make
bigger and better business, for what
helps one usually helps all either
directly or indirectly.
G. forth and see nature putting
on her winter garb. The saying
that one touch of nature makes the
whole world akin. leads 70 not only
a better understanding with ones
neighbors but also with oneself, and
thus leads to Bigger, Better, and
Buster State.

was selected, and in the end she sue
cumbs to a Fairbanksian wooing
with much delicacy and grace. The
story resounds with the clash of cut
lasses. and carries with it the whine
Of the wind and the swing of the sea.
The cast was selected with usual
Fairbanks care, every attention being
devoted to the types. There are only
two women in the piece, Billie Dove
and Tempe Pigott. Among the men,
whose histrionic ability ranks high
are Anders Randolf as the pirate
Captain, Donald Crisp as a one-arm-
ed pirate, Sam De Grasse as a sinister
second mate, Charles Stevens, Char
les Belcher, Al MacQuarrie and
others. The pirate crew is made up
Of expugilists, wrestlers, cow-pun-
cheers and others whose fearsome
faces might well strike terror to the
heart of any law-abiding voyager.
Douglas Fairbanks and his crew of
BLACK Pirates" had interesting To-
cation work in his new photoplay.
For three weeks the company pitch
ed up and down on the high seas
twenty-fiv miles off Catalina Island,
where battle scenes were made feat
uring the destruction of Spanish gall
leon and also a gigantic galley.
During the period required for the
taking of these scenes, the company
was quartered aboard a famous old
clipper ship which served as flag
ship" for the fleet and also did it's
bit in the photoplay. The special
players used on this location num-
bered hundreds. AS a means of
communication between the ships
, and the shore, two tugs and two
sea-going speedboats were kept in
constant use. The speedboats car
ried passengers, while the tugs We're
used as supply boats.

of some Frenchmen, but in the view

Paris is more money mad" than New

Theodore Dresser told a French in
terviewer that Paris is owned by
money.
1T is even worse than New York in
that respect" he said. on his first
visit to Paris since 1912. 1.-THE old
intellectual, artistic Paris has been
swallowed up by a commercialism
more intense even than Americas.
Nor is the evil limited to France.
There is not a corner of European
soil that is free from it. The fault is
partly ours. We Americans have
been showing Off our wealth so os-
tentatiously."

Stellar Comedian

Harold Lloyd may same day an
swer the requests of thousands of
admirers throughout the country, to
produce q college sequel to 1.-THE
Freshman" but his latest comedy,
For Meaven's Sake!" takes him out
of ca light atmosphere that dis
tingaSDhed his football classic into
tho more sombre air of big city's
underworld. The picture opens at
the Opera House today for a three
days run.
However, the transition has in no
wise affected his ability to provoke
laughter, inasmuch as all advance
reports indicate that For Heavens
Sake!" is a fast-moving comedy with
an abundance of rapid-fire action, a
wholesome thread of romance and
an assortment of funny gags that
would make even a wooden Indian
laugh.
Lloyd's characterization Is differ
ent from any he has previously por-
trayed. Here he appears as a gay
and carefree millionaire clubman
who turns missionary with the
avowed purpose of reforming a gang
of toughs. This is quite a jump
from the boob college youth he I'M
personated in 1.-The Freshman" and
is additional proof of his amazing
versatility.
Jobyna Ralston is again his love-
ly leading lady, heading a support
ing cast which includes in its not
able personnel many of the players
who have so ably assisted the be-
specialized comedian in the past.
Sam Taylor performed the director
Ia L, -t vrytit
ten by Ted Wilde, John Grey and
Clyde Brakeman.
Douglas Fairbanks has long been
noted for his lavish and ambitious
picture productions, but in 1.-THE
Black Pirate" which will be the feat
ure attraction at the Augusta Opera
House on Thursday, Friday and Sat-
urday Of this week, he is reported as
fairly having outdone his own previ-
Gus efforts. It is a faithful, thrilling
epic of the golden days of buccaneer-
ing near the end of the eighteenth
century, and depicts wildly and col
orfully the hectic life of the dare
devil roamers Of the Spanish Main
during that era. In every way 1t is
the most stupendous production that
Doug has ever attempted, and from
end to end it Is filed with the unique
athletic feats that place a Fairbanks
picture In a class by itself; in fact. in
THE Black Pirate" the star has
thought up a number Of new stunts
that are as thrilling as they are novel.
The entire picture has been filmed
in a remarkable new color process
known as Technicolor, that reproduce
es with exactitude every tint, shade
and hue of nature itself. Unlike many
other color attempts, Technicolor is
entirely natural. minus all exaggera-
ton, and restful to the eyes.
The locale Of the story Is in Tropi-
cal seas. In the beginning, the star
is not pirate. In fact, he becomes
q pirate through force of circum-
stances. The story deals with his in
Vulnerable adventures in avepging
the death of his father who dies as
the result of hardships inflicted by
sea rovers. There is a lovely girl to
be rescued, for which role Billie Dove

THE NEWSPAPER A PUBLIC
: NECESSITY.

The British Government, putting
out an official newspaper in the strike
emergency, calls attention to the fact
that newspapers generally have been
forced to cease publication and that
the nation has been reduced in this re-
spect to 'the level of Africa, depend
ing only on rumors that are carried
from place to place." Such rumors
might cause panics and disorders and
might demoralize the country. So the
Government feels its newspaper is a
public necessity.
The statement is particularly inter-
esting because it is no academic de-
tense of the newspaper. It is evil
IDENTIFY an earnest expression of the
conviction of men who are facing a
great emergency. The crisis suddenly
makes them realize that the newspa-
per is an essential factor in modern
civilization.
Ordinarily people accept the news
paper as an incidental thing in the
days work. They do the usual COM
planning about the way it is managed
-unhapily it has the faults of all
human institutions. 1t takes some I'M
usual situation like the British strike
to reveal its real Importance in COM
munity life.
