Salome’s Famous Danes of Dsath. Salome, the daughter of Herodias, the unlawful wife of King Herod, of Galilee, is one of the central charac ters in “The Holy City,” the treme- dously successful religious drama by Clarence Bennett which is to be pre sented at the Star Theatre ju next Tuesday night. This is tne same Salome who was the central figure in the play of that name which was written by Oscar Wilde and which was later set to music by R ichard Strause. The one presentation of this opera at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York last season and the tremendous sensation which it provoked are still in the minds of the general public. Wilde's Salome was a franb volupt uary no redeeming sense of shame, or a being who wallowed in the depths of degeneracy and who kiss ed the severed head of John, the Bap tist, in an unhealthy and bestial mo ment of wild sensualism. The Salome presented in “The Holy City” is a passionate creature whose love for Marius, a young Roman citizen forms the central thread of the plot. An gered at John, the Baptist, because he has unconsciously influenced Ma rius to join the followers of Christ, she demands his head liom King Herod at the instigation of her mother. One of the most spectacu lar scenes in the play is the scene showing her dance before Herod and his court, a dance which so influenc ed hi m that, at its conclusion, he broke his faith with the mother of Jhon and sends him to the execution ers. But Mr. Bennett’s Salome is not the voluptuous degenerate depicted by Wilde. She has the redeeming sense of self-respect and she dies con fessing her belief in the Master who had just arisen from the dead. This is at the close of the play. The People its Friends. No play has ever won for itself so much human love ®®d so much of true friendship from the whole public as Clarence Bennett’s The Holy City. It takes hold of the heart of the au ditor at once. It bears that magic spell of genius that makes It real to an auditor. He at once forgets that it is a play and Is carried away with its realism. Having once seen it, it ever after takes on a sort of personality. It becomes to us like some person whom we have known and loved. We remember it, not as a play, hut as an old friend, and, on its return, hasten to grasp It by the hand and say: “Welcome!” It is the only play that pleases everybody. This Is one true marb of real genius In a drama. Another Is that every time you see It again, you find new and beautiful things that you had never seen In it before. This is one of the few plays that will live to de light our grandchildren and their children after them. The Holy City will be at the Star Theatre Tuesday night, October 13th. The womans Club.

An occwlon which proved to be a very delightful one, was enjoyed by the Sunbeam Society of Cherokee Avenue Bapt’it church last Saturday. As had been previously arranged by Miss Katherine Bills and Mrs. F. E. Shuford, leaders, assisted by Miss Ida Crocker, about forty children answered to the call of the bell which summoned them and with sacks and other paraphernalia necessary for cotton picking, marched to the cotton field of Mr. E. R. Cash. The girls were led by Mrs. Shuford and Miss Ida Crocker, while the boys were divided into two sections unoer Miss Bills and Mr. W. M. Harris. With unabating Interest, each sec tion vlelng with the other, the fleecy staple yielded to the nimble fingers of the happy party, until a call was made to lunch. Again with renewed zest picking continued. About three o’clock they were Interrupted long enough for Prof. Shuford to get a snap shot of the party. After weighing the cotton it was found that nearly 1,600 pounds had been picked. Realizing that nearly $10 had been put to their credit to be given to missions, though a little tired, they could say as but few grown ups can say: "I have really given one day’s labor to send the gospel to those who know it not.” The average man will think twice before he breakes a dollar to purchase five cents worth of amusement or enjoyment, be cause he readzes that the remains of the dollar take wings and quickly ily away. Neither will a man write a check for five cents—it seems too small. Therefore, the man who deposits all his earnings in bank and pays his bills by checking against his account is in a fair way to cut off the small extrava gances that prevent so many of us from achieving financial success. If it is hard for you to lay by a st^re for the future, try this plan. We will welcome your account, however small and assist you 011 to the way to success. --Typewriter supplies, ribbons, carbon paper and typewriter paper at Gaffney Drug Co. Let us quote you prices.
