KING AT HIS BEST " ~ IN “STELLA DALLAS” Noted Director Praises Realistic Work of Players in Great Photodrama. Henry King, whose latest screen t>roductlon, Samuel Goldwyn’s “Stella Dallas." comes to the Concord The atre Monday and Tuesday, is recog nized as one of the most faithful in terpietors of intensely human drama. He has an unending string of suc cesses to his credit, among which might particularly be noted the gold medal photoplay. “To'.'able David," as well as “The AA'hite Sister." Yet King declares he never befbre has been fortunate enough to direct a drama with the appeal and heart in terest of "Stella Dallas," which is a modern drama of every-day American life, with situations such as any American might easily find himself in. « “The characterizations in 'Stella Dallas’ hold a definite appeal to me," said King. “From the title role, so ably played by Belle Bennett, to the smallest bit. the characters all seemed to live and breathes as if, instead of building a photoplay, I were privileged to witness a slice of life itself." lifted from the center of some typically American City.” King has injected into “Stella Dal las," a United Artists Corporation re lease, all the human interest, tbe real istic treatment and directorial finesse ! which went to make "Tol'able David" one of the most talked-of pictures. His cast includes nothing but experi enced and hand-picked players, includ ing. besides Miss Bennett, Ronald Col man. Alice Joyce. Jean Herslio.t, Lois Moran, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., etc. The adaptation of Olive Higgins Prouty’s celebrated novel is by Frances Marion, who writes all the Samuel Goldwwyn scenarios.

Several other changes *n the (lovern jor’it schedule also have been made, j Instead of speaking in Lincolnton on Thursday night, as had been planned, j he will sjieak there at 2:30 in the as- I ternoon. owing to the fact that a big ; revival is in progress there and it was i not desired to interfere in any way ! with this.

Mencken declared that there was no chance of either nominating or elect ing A1 Smith or MoAdoo, and that hence the candidate must be a “dark 1 horse," and that Governor McLean was well fitted both : n ability and past experience. But Governor McLean seemed to take it all as a good joke, having a hearty laugh out of the incident—and that was all. “WET” RESORT TO BE PLANNED SOON “Grand Bahama.” <jf Florida Coast \ to Cater to Booze Thirst.

DEMANDED ENCORES FROM RUSSIAN COSSACK CHORUS Troupe Has Been in This Country Only a Few Weeks, Playing the Smaller Dixie Cities. The Macon Telegraph has the fol lowing : If you have stood beside Xlngara. just below where the falls empty into the gorge, and have seen the swirling, surging waters, roaring at their im prisonments, and dashing off toward Lake Erie, ; you !*»*'<?„ some idea of what one* feels after'having heard the Russian Cossack singers. Their music ploughs furrows through parts of the soul that you had believed to be barren ground and harrows up emo tions that you had though astropied. One feels, after 'having heard them, that he might paint the world’s mas terpieces, or might even put into lan guage some faint suggestion of just how stirring they are, though that is a job to be approached with humility. One must know their background, since it is as much a part of them as their voices. They were Cossacks together during the great war. One of them wears an armless sleeve. Sergei Socoloff organized them into a chorus and took them trouping over the world live years ago when Russia was in her depths. For the past several months , they ’have been in South and Central America. A Co lumbus, Ga., man tound them in Gua temala and recognized in them artists that might set America on ear. For only a few weeks they have been in this country, playing the smaller cities of the southern states. Next week they go to Atlanta for a week at the Howard, their first big engage ment. We make File prediction that within the year they will be the rage in New York. They were in Macon last night simply because it is a stop- j ping point on their journey to' the North. These people sing the soul of Rus sia. Socoloff stands before them, in the Cossack officer's uniform and flecks a hand toward the tenors. There rises from their throats music that challenges the majesty of Caruso’s voice. He lifts a hand, ever so little, toward the basses, flanked by a six foot five Cossack, and ther issues from resonant throats a swelling chord as though the major keyes of the big auditorium organ had been pressed, Throughout all their music there is the suggestion of the organ overtones. There are no pauses, no lapses, but a continual humming. Solos stand out like flaming torches above that accompaniment. Men who sang those solos must remain nameless since their names are not on the programs and would probably mean nothing if they were. The memory of the first two tenors, the second tenor, the baritone and the giant basso singer will not be easily effaced, however. Nor yet will Socoloff, with that expressive back and those talking hands, easily disappear. The Cossack band will appear in Concord Tuesday evening, October 19th, at 8 o'clock.
