JACKSOIWILL
ES ON MAR
.it OF POPULAR SUBURBAN
PROPERTY IS BEING BOOSTED
BY JACKSONVILLE REALTY CO.
The Jacksonville Realty and Mort
gage company, the largest real estato
sub-division corporation In the state
; Florida, with executive offices at
Jacksonville, at its last annual meet
ing thought that this was a fitting
nlaea some of its suburban
imic
property on the market for quick dis
position. -
This decision has excited the great
est amount of interest among- the real
estate men of Jacksonville, because it
means the liquidation of the finest and
most beautiful allotment properties In
jnd about the suburbs of Jackson
ville. Among the valuable holdings of this
company is the Murray Hill sub-di
vision, known as "tne sudutd Deauu
fuL" This sub-division is situated
just southwest of the cty in the famed
Riverside section; the company has ex
pended large sums of money in mak
ing Murray Hill the most desirable,
attractive and up-to-date . residential
section in the vicinity Of JackSonviUj
miles of paved streets, water, elec
tricity for lighting and cooking, Flor
ida Military Academy, school, churcnes
and beautiful homes, and the Mur
ray Hill cars which run on a f uteen
minute schedule to the "heart of the
city are among the attractions of this
locality. -v
The executive committee of the cor
poration is composed of Captain -W. M.
Tupper, Col. William E. Kay, Lorenzo
A. Wilson, "W. W. Frazier and II. B.
Minium, and they have deci"d that
the best method of disposing of this
property in the present market is to
sell it at auction. ;
Several methods of quickly selling
these propertie are being considered:
interested parties ; have argued that
inasmuch as the real estate market
in Jacksonville never exhibited bright
er prospects than it does at this time,
that to sell these properties at a public
auction sale would mean a great sac
rifice and slaughter of prices "and de
prive the stockholders of the company
of the increase in values certain to
follow the unusual and increasing de
mand for homes; others are insisting.
however, that a public auction sale
is the most likely method to pursue
in order to secure quick results.
"' The committee has cut loose from
all considerations of profit and have
appointed Joseph P. .Day auctioneer.
whose methods and organization will
insure a successful sale, and place the
property before the public without de
lay. .
The people, of Jacksonville, and in
fact, all over the state, will have an
opportunity to purchase the most at
tractive home sites in and around
Jacksonville at unprecedented price
at a time when the values of land
are increasing and will continue to in
crease, and the sale without question
will be the largest auction sale In the
history of the state. .
The sale will be held at the Duval
theater, Jacksonville, on May 29, and
each succeeding day until every loL
is sold.

charmed audiences on more occasions
than one with their picturesque and

official friends had gathered, and was
presented with a handsome suitcase

their regret at his departure from their
circle. The presentation speech was
made by City Attorney J. B. Jones.

efforts of Mr.. Jones career.

responded in a feeling manner. There

services to the city have been very
much appreciated and that his depar
ture is a source of genuine regret to
all who have been associated with

Massive Ball Room Set in New Lock

What is believed to be the largest
and most massive ball room set was
ouui ana , photographed for a num
ber of scenes 4n "The Great Romance' 1

Harold Lockwood played the leading
role and which will be the feature at 1

This elaborate and artistic set is 1
Supposed to rnrgn tVio hall .
-. - 1 . . ...w .a... . W1U
of a- palace in a mythical . kingdom.
It is a hundred feet in length and
fifty feet wide and accommodates more
than two hundred dancers. It is made
to represent fine Carrara marble and
the walls "are hung with gorgeous vel
vets and brocades. Crystal chande
liers hang from the ceilinjt and catch
and reflect the prysmatie lights which
flood the brilliant scene. One of these
chandeliers measured nine feet in di
ameter, and" came originally from an
om cnauteau in .trance.
At one end of the room a grand
double stairway leads to a landing
twenty-four ' feet above the floor, the
pillars and balustrades of which are
also carried out in an imitation of th
beautifully veined marble. The de-
aign for the set was made by Lester
Vermilyea, who was one of the Shu-
bert art directors making many of
the elaborate and handsome sets for
the winter Garden productions.
"The Test .of Honor" Is Barrymore's
New Dramatic Picture.
The new Paramount picture, "The
Test of .Honor," affords John Barry-
more many dramatic scenes and inci
dents which migh,t have been written
especially for him so well do they suit
his individua ltype of actng and char
acterization. The picture will be dis
played at the Isis theater today.
.In one scene it was necessary to
show an apparition in the jail where
Barrymore is serving time for an al
leged murder which he did not com
mit. A large, muscular actor was en
gaged, for . the part, and John BarryT
more himself attended to the make
up on his future apparition.
"I know the sort of a face that would
give me the creeps in the dark, and
I.will put that face on him," he said.
A few hours later the actor was
brought down before the director for
inspection, and one and all-agreed that
the face which peered out- before a
dim light while the camera registered
its hideous grimaces, was absolutely
the most frightful apparition that
could possibly be imagined, and that
nothing less than lobster and mince
pie could produce a face like that, -"The
Test Of Honor," is an admirable
picturization of E. Phillips ' Opnen
heim's celebrated novel, ''The Male
factor,", and for the first time since
he became a motion picture star, Mr,
Barrymore has a strong dramatic role. ' r
He Is splendidly supported . ny a cast

feminine roles. ; , . ,

' i THE STORY
" A young political reformer of wealth
is Larry Cavendish, engaeed to Caryl
Rundlege, daughter of a former gov
ernor. While attending a bachelor dinner
priven in his honor, the night before
the wedding. Larry is handed a nute
by the .waiter, with instructions not
to open it until he reaches home.
It was from his fiancee, and she had
vanished. Larry's frenzied search for
Caryl is replete with thrill? and leads
him through many adventures in the
underworld. He is refused aid by the
police and all his political friends, and
even his prospective father-in-law;
the former governor, tries to prevail
upon Larry to give up th siarch.
But undaunted, he continues th
hunt alone, braving the dangers thai
spring up. He f&els that there is, .
some strong political and mysterious
influence working against !iim. .
After a fight with Lev u-ro, a beggar
padrone who furnishes blackmail in
formation to a.n unscrupulous political
boss, Larry sees his sweetheart shot
dead by one of the stray bullets.
Heartbroken, he carries the . body
through the underworld until he is
brought to bay in a notorious opium
den. The Police Commissioner, final
ly aroused, selects that particular mo
ment for a raid on the den, led by
no other than Caryl herself.
The dead girl was her twin sister,
and Caryl had been lured away on
the eve of her wedding by a note
from Levarro which stated that fche
had a twin sister and that she was
dying.
Her father, the former governor.
had appealed to her to keep tha mat
ter of her having a twin sister in the
underworld a secret to avoid disgrace
for all of them.
Larry and Caryl are thus reunited
and the corrupt political ring - is
smashed.
