AMUSEMENTS
HIS LEGACY A
SCHOOL OF
YOUNG WOMEN
TTfat amt died and left as her gift
ft* Mm a school for young women.
4al ha was a good-looking young
has vto mH break the heart of
Soch, in Skeletonised form, may be
•aid to be the theme of the new Par
amooat picture "The Charm School"
to sMeh Wallace Reid supported by
Mh lsa will be seen at the Colonial
theatre this afternoon 'and tonight.
If erer there was a young man fit
M. to -the bead of a ehaqn,school,,
then that young man is Wally Reid.
As Austin Bevans he has a role that
is truly Reidesque. But as soon as
he comes into, possession of the
school, he decides to throw the three
R’s into the discard along with . all
other things ^that are usually taught
young women at a seminary. He
then embarks on a program of
teaching the girls charm, to fit them
for life and husbands.
As a result of this interesting sit
uation, a comedy sparkling with
bright titles and rattling good situa
tions is developed. Of course Reid
and Miss Lee have a whole lot to do
and the latter seems to be the lead
ing charmer of the lot
Then, for another kind of comedy.
Manager Appleby has provided for
today. “My Lady's Ankle'' which is
said to be a succession of ludicrous j
situations. The 11th episode of “Vel- i
vet Fingers” is unusually good and,
of course, the Fathe Review is al
ways interesting—Adv.
BILLIE BURKE IN
“THE EDUCATION
OF ELIZABETH”
Manager Appleby will open next
week’s program at the Colonial thea
tre right where this week’s left off,
for there will be another charmer
seen on Monday, the dimpled Billie
Burke who will appear in a Para
mount picture, “’The Education of
Elizabeth.” The fascinating stage
and screen star in this comedy has
the role uf a charming; fun-loving,
chorus girl who is very real beneath
her rouge and powder, a girl who
marries the scion of an aristocratic
family and then tries to educate
herself to take her place in her new
station.—Adv.
“THE STEALERS”
A PLAY THAT IS
AMAZING
Predictions have come true in the
case of "The Stealers,” the William
Christy Cabanne production for Rob- i
rrtson-Cole which will be seen for
the last time at the Augusta Opera
louse today.
It was said that this play would
prove amazing and the big audiences
-hat saw it yesterday will agree that
it is one of the most remarkable, ap- |
pealing: and human photoplays .ever !
offered on the screen in Augusta.
Telling the story of a hypocritical !
minister who uses his office as a ser
vant of God to head a gang of thieves,
it stands out as a feature so unusual
that it almost makes one gasp. De
veloping a story of unusual power
and acted by a company of unusual
ability, the drama drives home a re
ligious moral that cannot fail to help
everyone. Without any doubt, th.e
company of players offers the best
acting seen in a photoplay in Augusta
in months and the fact that the play*
is really acted and no one individual
is given undue prominence stamps
the whole production as an epo
chal one.
“One Law for All" is the title of a
strong: two-reel wwt4n play that
also occupies a big place on the ;
Opera House bill while ‘‘Open An
other Bottle” is a Pathe comedy that!
will raise all kinds of laughs.—Adv.
Champ'lin Company to Open With
“Daddy Long Legs” Monday at the
Opera House
The Chas. K. Champlin stock com
pany will open their engagement at
the Opera House next Monday pre
senting “Daddy Long Legs,” the play
in which fascinating Mary Pickford,
whose charms have touched the ;
hearts of the photoplay fans through
out the world, appeared on the film
stage in the beautiful role of “Judy"
the little slavey.
The story of “Daddy Long Legs” is J
well told. Judy is a little slavey in
an Orphan Asjflum who has remained
in the institution long beyond her
alloted time because of the assist
ance she is able to give.
She is belabored conflnually by her
task-mistress until one day, when the
trustees make their monthly visit, her j
rebellious spirit is aroused and she
makes known to them, in no uncer
tain terms, her opinion of the place
and the spirit in which it is con
ducted. They resent her independ
ence and plan dire punishment.
Jarvis Pendleton, one of the trus
tees, is touched by her pleading for
an opportunity to rise in the world,
and decides to send her to college, i
She does not know who her benefac- ,
tor is, and his personality is shrouded I
in the whimsical title of Daddy Long I
Legs, which she gives him for the
elongated shadow he makes upon the
road as he departs. Next we see her
installed at college, where her sweet
and gentle nature and humorou- ob
servations have given her immense
popularity. Of course her benefactor !
visits her with the inevitable result
that he falls in love with her. Judy, ‘
wishing to be faithful to her Daddy
Long Legs, the man she loves, and
convinced that her lack of a family !
tree proves a great obstacle, refuses
him. In the end, through the minis
trations of a mutual friend, she is
summoned to meet her sweetheart,
"'ho.is recovering from an.illness, and
the curtain falls with her knowledge
that her sweetheart and Daddy Long
Legs are one and the same.
The box office is now open and the
reserved seat sale started off with a
bang yesterday. It looks like a big
week for the Champlin Stock Co.
Phone 190 from noon till nine P. M.

week. Matinee, balcony 35c, orches
