Americanization of Kentucky ‘Hills Before Aliens “"When it is the boast of this na- tion that this country is the meélting pot, the land of opportunity and of freédom, of knowledge for all—when it is the boast of Americans that the wonders of science have joined citios and races together with wonderful means of communication—in ‘Vhis day and in this country there is a vast community of people prisonéd by the walls of mountains, living in hopeless ignorance, shut off from the world and all opportunity—and these are not savages nor foreigners, but are of our own Anglo-Saxon race.” Thus spoke Mrs. Martha 8. Gielow, founder of ‘the Southern Industrial Endueational association, whose keen insight into the lives of the moun- taineérs is the result of years of work among them. ‘. Torn Down Wall, “T dedicated my life to the caude of the shut-in children of the moun- tains after finishing the education eof my own two children,” she continued. | “To carry light into that stronghold of darkness seemed at times impossi- ble. But We have torn down the seem- ingly impenetrable wall that has en- tombed them for so l1ong and have re- minded the nation of this human as- set that it has so long neglected. “You of the city think that beauty of surroundings makes up for all lack of culture and opportunity,” said she. ‘“You have,. therefore, been content to leave the uncultured alone with beauty of nature. You are crim- minally neglectful of them.” This statement recalled to the in- terviewer's mind a striking paragraph the HMill”: *The environment of beauty {¢ noét an antidote for the ef- fects ot isolgtion from the rest of mankind, nor for the stupefying re- 1 Urged by Mrs. Gielow Founder of Southern Industrial Educational Association Says'Teacllerq and Not Revenue Agents Should .

We have that to contend with.” “Exactly,” she sald, “but take the slums of the city. Your poer, your foreigners have all the advantages of education open to them, free evening schools, lectures, music, hospitals at hand,. orphan asylums—nurseries, churches—the women have mothers’ meetings. But these Anglo-Saxons who livé in the ‘slums of the nation’ have as a rule the poorest of schoeols and sometimes noné at all—and their teachers are immature and inefficient. I am speaking of the people in very rémote mountains — and there are thousands of them-—not those who live near the edge of things.” “Did you take characters in yeur book from real life?” she was asked. Characters Imaginary Counterparts. “My characters are imaginary counterparts of living realities. Doubt- less you thought them quaint. You would think them more so if you heard them speak. They us more than one hundred of the oldest words in the English language, now found only all in Chaucer and Shakespeare.” “Then they must feel very mueh ‘out of things' ” ) ‘““Not at ‘all,”” she put in, quickly. ‘“They are toa proud for that. Tt is others who are ‘out of things’; every- body else is below their level.” “Hasn’t commercialiasim crept into the mountains?” 3 % Possessed With Commercialism, “Crept in!’ said Mrs, Gielow, eém- phatically. but taken possession or them., With the coming of the railroads the moun- tain people are being induced to sell their lands for a mere pittance—and let me tell you,” she said .earnestly, oers PR “thé mountaineers néw have hames.‘ but unless they are taught the value of their lands we will have thousands of homeless mountaineers on our Bands—and then what are we going . to do?” “What do’you think we ought to Go?" was asked.

Such an invest- ment for the mining of human gold in our mountaing would pay a higher return than the commerce of a foreign trade can give.” “The Southeérn Industrial FEduca- tional association has been working for ten yvears, but we need help,” she went on, and as she spoke she cpened har record book and showed the picture of a fine schtol build- ing bullt by the association for | the poor girls of her own state— Alabama.” The association has also helped many scheools In the remola’ mountains 6f other states.

Many of these men do not understand why they can- ‘net make a few dollars from their 6wn cofn, and until the government can teach them a bétter way of earning a living than by making moonshine 1 whiskey they should be dealt with more leniently. What right have we,” she went on, quoting from ‘“The Light on the Hills,” *'to permit these un- | lettered citizens of our mountains to remain in te dénsest ignorance of the laws of government ana then hold thérh dccountable to the strict letter of the law?

The presentation of the Cohan farce with music by the Poli Players have been well receivéd by lafge audiences, the novelty of favorites in farcical characters as well as in musical num- bérs having proven a rare treat. Songs and dances aré included in the play and the favorites presént these with true nmhusical comedy touch. The amusing story of the play is well con- ceived and cleverly presented and it makes a decided hit with local the- atergoers. . Next week an old favorite returns in “Uncle Tom's Cabin,’ ’a play that “It has not only crept in, has stood the test of popular approval for forty years and is today just as popular as it has been at any time during its long career. This play, based upon the story of the same title by Harriet Beechér Stowe, has per- haps had the most remarkable his- tory of any production ever 'staged. The Poli Players will use the same version as was used in the all-star production which was staged in New York a couple of years ago with Wil- ton Lackaye, Louis James and other notable actors in the roles. A troupe of twenty wel known coléred sing érs and gdancers have been enga, to augment the regular cast and their southern songs and dances will be a treat. All the favorites will be in the cast. Tt promises to be a not- able achievement for the Players and an epgagement that will prove edu. cational to the young and entertain- ing and absorbing to the older folks.

REMARKABLE BILL AT FOX’S THEATER “The Devil's Daughter” picturized {rem Gabrielle D’ Annunzio’s famous work, the world-known “LaGioconda,” is a screen play, powerful in its de- piction of a diabolical and beautiful siren, who liké the Damia of anciént Creek mythology, is half serpent and half woman in her nature. Had D’ Annunzio not insisted on the famed Theda Bara, “The Vampire Woman" heing cast for the part before he would sign the film rights over to Willlam Fox it is doubtful if any actress could have been found, pos- scssed of the febrile art, and sinister beauty , requisite to portray “The Devil's Daughter.” Miss Baras' work in parts of this type has become world famous from such Willlam TFox productions as *The Clemenceau Case” ‘“A Fool There Was,” etc., it each of which the vrench leading lady in the part of a fascinating temptress has won inter- ‘and Wome - "\~ . > g / eaders e =] BARGAINS [ Unusual Because of Underwear for every man— all goed makes—all weights and all sizes. -~ © “Sommer ogge Millinery An extraordindry display of all new models and sensation- ally reduced for immediate clearance, Men’s Straw Hats, Value—Unusual Because of Seasonableness ‘MEN’S SUITS AT $15 .

Bara's striking and beautiful face has been calléd “The Wickedest in the World.” 1In The Devil’'s Daughter,” which is now playing at the local Fox theater, she portrays a character even more in- sinuatingly evil than in any of her other great successes. “The Devil’'s Daughter” opens with theft of Le Gioconda’'s beatiful jewels by Lugi, a former lover while she is being embracéd by Antonié who has superseded Lugi in her capricious affections. Lugi leaves a note telling her that he has stolen the jewels out of vengeance and she will never see him again. La Gioconda discovers the note after Antonio has left, and her passionate rage is tigerish over the theft. ‘“‘As he has done to me so shall I do to all men,” she exclaims. “From now on my heart is ice, my passion as fire and thus Jet all men beware.” Time passes and many lives are wrecked by her triflings. The climax comes startlingly and rises to great dramatic heights. La Giocon- da’'s evil career markea by ruined lives and withered hopes suffers a fearful end in a s¢ene of ovérwhelm- ing power and another sensational climax brings this most impréssive modern society drama te a dramatic close. “GRAUSTARK"” AGAIN SHOWS AT KEENEY'S ‘“‘Graustark,” a picturization of thiie famous novel, which featured the motion picture program at Keeney's last night, will be repeated this even- ing. The audiénce last night, which was large despite the humidity, left the theater enthusiastic over the story in “movie” form and thé¢ adver- tising which they gave it in talking with their friends today should bring another capacity house this evening. “Graustark” is one of the most pop- ular novels put in circulation ia years. It has béen widely read, has been seen .in dramatized form by thousands and is probably as weil known as any of the romantic stories published in a long time. In the “movies” it bids fair to be another remarkable suecess. It has been high- ly praised in évéery city where it has been shown and crowded houses have been the rule everywhere. The picture, which is in seven partz is well worth witnessing. TIn itself it is well worth the admission prics charged ‘at Keeney's.
