THURSDAY, JUNE 29TH, 1922 A GOOD SIGN One of the mont cheering incidents noted at »the^£itnpaign meetin Barnwell Monday was the^gretft a mount of applause that greeted the statements of Messrs^ McLeod and Laney relative to law enforcement in South Carolina. “The crime wave will not be stopped,” said Mr. Me Leod, “except by the voice of the people in the verdicts o£ juries and the sentences of courts, upheld by the Chief Executive,” and added that he would not interfere with these verdicts, either througn sympathy or personal preference. Mr. Laney’s sentiments are surptantially the same. The People is indeed glad to see that South Carolinians are fast be coming aroused over the shameful crime situation in this State, where human life has apparently lost its true value and the operations of il licit whiskey distillers have become so obnoxious to all law-abiding citizens. * Not until a wholesome respect for the law has been instilled into the minds of the law-breakers can we hope to enjoy any sense of security in our daily lives. THE GREATEST OF SCREEN PLAYS TO BE IN BARNWELL t Announcement Made That D. W. Griffith’s “Way Down East” Will ' r . I Come to the Vamp Theatre. Something to laugh about: wings on a 4.J radiator cap.

Gantt anj Bonham Brooks, of Cn- ’umbia. were here f«r the week-end, the guests of relatives. Miss Elinor Laird of Aiken wa« the guest of friends for a short while on Saturday. Mr. Hugh Fowke made a flying tnp to Columbia on Monday. Mrs. Oscar P. Hay. and chi Wren. Nell. Rosalie and Thomas, are apend- ing some time here, the guests of Mrs. John M Gantt. Quite a nice game of base ball be tween the home team and Snclling was enjoyed by the local fans on Thursday. Boll weevils do not. as a rule seem very noticeable as yet in the cotton fields in this section, probably owing to the recent continued dry spell. The community has for the past week been visited by refreshing rains, which have been of great benefit to the corn and vegetable crops. BILLIE BURKE A “CHORINE’ IN COMEDY Fopular Star has Excellent Role in “The Education of Elizabeth” Billie Burke had her .first ex perience in the chorus when scenes of her latest vehicle “The Education of Elizabeth” which will be presented at the Vamp Theatre . next Thursday, were filmed. There have v been numerous stage and screen stars who have made their way to stardom via the “merry merry,” but Miss Burke is not one of these. Miss Burke in the role of Eliz abeth Banks, a “chorine" in a big New York Musical revue, and the ripening scenes of the production show her at work with the company. Being the wife of Flo Ziegfeld, the well known New York theatrical manager, Miss Burke obtained the most lavish revue for her comely that was ever seen in a motion pic ture studio. A complete number from Ziegfeld’s “Midnight Frolic” was transported to the set with costumes which were remarkable for their artiabe beauty am of the Announced as the most remarkable production with which the name of David W. Griffith has yet been as sociated is his “Way Down East,” made from the famous stage play of the same name and which will be shown in Barnwell for the first time aFthe Vamp Theatre Saturday, July 1st. . • * ' As is expected the usual Griffith effects and embellishments are said to be found in this latest work in abundance. It will be presented here with an augmented orchestra furnish ing musical accompaniment which even the most spectacular of stage offerings could hardly afford to offer on tour; digressing from the stage version he will take his audience from the simplicity of countryside to 'the lavishness of city mansions and thua display in a new series of color schemes an array of elaborate gowns and surroundings typical of wealth. At the end will come the famed ter rifying New England blizzard and the break up of the ice gorge in the Connecticut River, scenes which in other cities have made audiences grip their neats. Mr. Griffith has set for himself I such a pace and a standard to follow that he must need supply the most wonderful in spectacle and the most finished in production. However, there may be those who in an ticipation of such things, overlook the greatest of achievements of the master artist in screen production. Griffith seized upon “Way Down I East” and paid a pretty sum for the screen rights alone, not for the spectacular opportunities it afforded Any play that can enjoy a vogue a mong American theatregoers for a! period of more than twenty yean possesses something more than [ pastoral humor and striking scenes and "Way Down East" has ever in | time* when ssost stage offerings had hard sledding That the pare love of Anna Moore,; betrayal and subsequent suffer j mgs were the big thing la “Way. Down East" and Is what has made It endure through all these years, there ran hr no doubt. It was this that 1 appealed ta David W Griffith In selecting it as his medium of pro- j dartion. Her story la that of a wo fith has spared no effort la bring! this forth ta all the strength of his I vision and art. In doing so he has moulded a moral foe mankind and strikes home to the socalled stronger , sex • lesson which has often been j forgotten as concerns a single stand- ] ard for male and female, probably i since the age of sin. To Lillian Gish has fallen the task of essaying Anna Moore for the 1 screen and very likely to posterity. Hers is a more far-reaching and hu man Anna Moure thkn the spoken stage drama could permit and ia noth a person as has existed almost from the time of Mother Eve and existed in every community on earth where NOTICE • The Annual stockholders meeting of tha Barnwell County Building and Loan Association will be held at the First.
