Clean-Up Campaign
Reports of Places That Need Imme
diate Attention Received by the
Committee—City Is Thoroughly In
spected by Committee and Places
Ana Listed
The Clean Up Committee, appoint
ed by Mayor Fogg, has made a thor
ough inspection of both sides of the
City of Augusta and has listed the
places which need attention, includ
ing the name of the owner and the
street and number, on file with the
mayor. They appeal to the civic pride
of the people who occupy these places
to have them cleaned up at once and
the rubbish placed where it will be
accessible for the city teams.
Reports of a number of places that
are in need of attention during the
present Clean-Up campaign have
been received by George C. Clarke,
secretary of the Clean-Up committee^
and will be placed before the entire
committee at an early meeting.
Commandant T. A. Magee of the
Salvation Army corps reports that he
and Arthur Douin made an Inspection
of Commercial street, as requested,
and with the exception of two places,
the street was in good condition. He
reports that the extension certainly
needs attention as ashes and rubbish
of all kinds are lying around.
A report has been made that there
is a bad condition at a private garage
on Willow street, that tin cans and
rubbish of all kinds is raked under
the garage and left there, and that it
is considered to be quite a fire haz
ard.
A teacher who comes to Augusta
every day from Togus reports that
some Augusta people take their rub
bish out on the Cony road and dump
it beside the road, and that tin cans,
paper bags and other eye-sores are
left there.
Among the other places that are re
ported as needing attention are Hig
gins, Page and Child streets. Chapel
street extension, Royal Park, Bond
street opposite the gas house and the
side of the stream by Mill street.
There is a stagnant pool of water in
front of 71 Sewall street that needs
looking after, and the dump at the
right side of Lincoln street should be
cleaned up according to the reports.
Victory Medal Drive
The War Department has requested
Lieut. Ira Sturgis Randall, O. R. C.,
United States Army, to conduct the
Victory Medal Drive in this vicinity.
The War Department is trying to
complete the distribution of Victory
Medals as rapidly as possible, and is
conducting a drive all over the coun
try, with the aid of Reserve Officers.
The Victory Medal is the medal giv
en by the War Department for Army
service during the World War be
tween April 6, 1917 and November 11,
1918. Those eligible are all persons
who were honorably discharged from
the military service, or the next of
kin of deceased soldiers or officers.
A person does not have to have
served in the Army overseas to se
cure a Victory Medal, however, for
those who did serve overseas, a bat
tle clasp is added for each of the ma
jor operations and for the occupancy
of a defensive sector. Only one de
fensive sector clasp will be awarded to
one individual. To be eligible for a
battle clasp the officer or enlisted
man must have been actually present.
Those who served with the French,
British, Belgian or Italian commands
will be entitled to a defensive sector
clasp as well as anyone who served
in European Russia or in Sibcria.
Lieutenant Randall will be at
Fletcher’s Drug Store every evening
this week from 8 to 9 P. M., and all
ex-service men, or the next of kin of
deceased soldiers who have not se
cured their Victory Medals are urged
to bring in their discharges, or if they
have lost their discharges to come in
anyhow, and get their medals.
It has been so much trouble in the
past, that many men have neglected
to get their medals, but now it is an
easy matter, and with Memorial Day
l the last of this month, all ex-servico
men will want their medals to wear.
If there are any ex-soldiers in the
country districts who are unable to
get in to make their applications in
person, they may do so by mail.
The medals are absolutely free, and
a man owes it to his relatives or chil
dren to secure a Victory Medal.
The Augusta friends of Miss Gert
rude F. Pratt will grieve with her in
the loss of her father, whose death

Gertrude E. Pratt is bookkeeper at the
L. A. Crossett’s office, coming here

MUSIC ATTRACTIVE FEATURE OF
GRIFFITH'S "WAY DOWN EAST
SETH tl OLCO MB WAKES LOVE TOT^AnTWA PERKIN?
^fgnp from T>VJ.<jQin^THS»WAVTXWN EAST”,
A feature of every production bear
ing the name of D. W. Griffith is the
music and those who have seen his
“The Birth of a Nation,” “Intoler
ance,” “Hearts of the World," “Broken
Blossoms” and “Way Down East” find
that a real enjoyment is to be had in
the flow of melody from the largo
orchestra always present. Each sit
uation is given the proper emphasis
or shading by the character of music
that is played and whether there is
fortissimo or pianissimo makes the
greatest difference in the world in the
effect of the scene upon the intent
spectator. Some of the music that
is heard in “Way Down East” which
comes to the Opera House on Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday, actually
makes people laugh and the reason
for this is that the music is identified
with a role—for all the characters in
a Griffith play have their character
istic musical theme and when the
theme recurs the appearance of the
person is definitely indicated.
Many rehearsals are necessary be
fore the orchestra can come pat upon
the incident or scene, and Griffith
himself, who devises much of the mu
sic for his productions, is the great
est stickler for these musical effects,
attending every orchestra rehearsal
until as near perfection as can be at
tained is reached.
AMUSEMENTS
EDITH ROBERTS,
TOM SANTSCHI
ON SAME BILL
Edith Roberts and Tom Santschi on
the same bill is the unusual offering
Manager Appleby has provided for
the Colonial theatre today. Edith
Roberts has been so consistently suc
cessful in her Universal-Jewel pro
ductions that in “The Unknown Wife”
in which she will be seen today, she
is sure to be greeted by huge audi
ences.
And as for Santschi—well, he is
one of the old-timers in the “mov
I
ies," an actor of the greatest ability
who won a world-wide reputation in
Griffith's “The Birth of a Nation.” In
“The Death Trap” in which he will be
seen today, he has a vehicle that will
keep the spectators on the qui vive
all the time.
“The Unknown Wife” is far from
being a sex or problem play. It is a
heart-gripping story of “Donald
Grant”—the Kid—just out of Sing
Sing who goes to a small country
town near Gotham to regain his shat
tered life, there meets Helen Wilbur
tojn—Miss Roberts,—falls in love,
marries her and then returns with her
to the big city where real adventure
awaits them. During the residence
in Camsdenville, two old time pals
come to get the Kid, but they clink
uelicious and Economical
every little leaf of the genuine
TEA
is fresh and full of virtue, and will yield the most delicious flavor.
Send a postcard and your grocer's name and address to SALADA
TEA COMPANY, Boston, Mass., for a free sample*
away when they see him in church.
It is when the life in New York be
gins that the play turns from an
idyll to a big drama. The end is suf
ficiently satisfactory to please every
one.
For other good things on the Colo
nial program today, there are the

WHY LYTELL IS
A LUMINARY OF
THE SCREEN
A luminary is a star, and a star
must shine. Bert Lytell is a real star,
for he shines with a brilliancy that
throws other screen favorites into the
background. Because he had a long
experience ip stock companies is one
of the reasons why be has been so
successful. In all the pictures in
which he has been seen here he has
proved his unusual histrionic ability.
In “A Message from Mars'* in which
he will be seen at the Colonial on
Thursday be appears as the most
selfish man in London.—Adv.
The Seat Sale Opens at the Opera
House This Morning for the Big
Griffith Production of "Way Down
East”
The sale of seats reservations for
tho engagement of D. W. Griffith's
wonder spectacle “Way Down East”
opens at the box office of the Augusta
Opera House this morning.
The local presentations begin to
morrow night and continue daily
thereafter with matinees each day on
Friday and Saturday at 2.00 P. M.
Evenings at 8.
Basically “Way Down East.” is a
picturization of that delightful story
of New England rural life which Lot
tie Blair Parker and Jos. R. Grismer
made so familiar upon.the American
stage covering a period of more than
a decade. By Griffith’s treatment it
becomes a new art, vibrant with a
life that is all but too fastly passing
from view and infused with realism
and tenseness plus the finest ming
ling of pastoral scenes ever conceived
for an American drama. Music adds
its charm to this swelling appeal and
the combination spells a new form of
expression to every sense that seeks
the playhouse for entertainment and
illustration.
It is deemed essential to advise the
readers or this paper that ‘Way
Down East” is going to pack the
Opera House from the opening pre
sentation and it will be prudent for
you to make your reservations well
in advance and before the word of
its singular power and charm puts
seats in the greatest demand.
This is the company that has been
playing in Boston all season and is
to come here with the entire produc
tion entact together with the large
symphony orchestra that has been
with the picture from the very start.
Way Down East" is now running
in fourteen of the principal cities of
the United States in several of which
it is destined to remain another year.
GALL1-CURCI
The Voice with the Universal Appeal
One month after Galli-Curci had
sung her latest number for the Vic
trola Company that corporation an
nounced the sale of 140,000 copies of
tho record. What does this fact in
dicate? That the great soprano who
will be heard at Portland. Tuesday
evening, May 24, has a very definite
message for at least 140.000 persons.
In fact, the appeal of Galli-Curci is
universal. Not only does she thrill
the seasoned music-goer but she also
moves the person who has never at
tended a concert before. Who can
resist the thrill of the woodland bird,
the ravishing note of the lark? To
these the limpid quality of Galll-Cur
ci's voice has been likened. It is the
voice that weaves a magic spell, the
voice that causes multitudes to listen
breathlessly, to laugh or to weep, to
shout with joy or to remain silent In
tranquil enjoyment. It is the voice
that is born but once in several dec
ades.—Adv.
Miss Laura Picard has returned
from a short visit in Winslow.
