shown at the Majestic Theatre next Thursday Friday and Saturday make it one of the most notable examples of the screen art produced by George Melford this season The play was written by the late William -Vaughn Moody a playwright of note The theme is one of the most compelling ever conceived by a dramatist and it discusses the problem of whether a man with a great work or mission in life should sacrifice the joys and pleasures of life even love itself and devote all his energies to his mission The story presents in clear truthful form the great truth of healing by faith A beautiful romance is developed in the story The picture is one of great emotional and dramatic intensity Milton Sills plays the title role of the Faith Healer Ann Forrest plays Rhoda Williams and other

"This is gospel Preach it Promote understanding of your theatre in your community" That the Saenger Amusement Company one of the largest motion picture exhibiting concerns in the coati' try is always on the alert not only to furnish the very best films produced but to promote the comfort of their patrons is shown in a letter to local managers from administration headquarters in New Orleans The following synopsis of a copy of instructions by General Manager Richards received by local Manager Howard Swain indicates that the Saenger Company is at all times putting forth its best efforts to efficiently serve its patrons from every standpoint of entertainment courtesy and comfort and at prices as low as is consistent with such service Here are some of the high-lights of Mr Richard's letter to Mr Swain: theatre does not en- joy business protection on the same basis as other lines of business Fly-by-night non-taxpaying fire sale fakirs are insured against by legitimate I storekeepers whose protests are heeded The fly-by-night non-taxpaying tent showman is seldom protested by the local taxpaying showman When he does the theatre manager is accused of being a 'mo! nopoly hog' Co-operate with your theatre manager by correcting this Discuss this and other which follow in your efficiency meetings so that you may intelligently set the public right on this thought prices union labor scales rents seating capacity I publication rates film rentals as fixed by the producers all these things have a direct bearing on admission prices And the Saenger prices are lower than the average throughout I the 'United States Our patrons do not know this They should And you can help to set them right people are engaged at their vocations during the day i and our peak hours consequently ate from 7:10 to 8:30 in Your man! ager can not help this But people complain when they can not get or when perhaps jostled by the crowd Some people are more even! tempered than others
