The People and the Picture
Show.
Those who believe that the
great Common People," as Abra
ham Lincoln called them, cannot
appreciate the best in all lines,
should have been present the
other night, when after due
advertisement, Longfellow's
"Evangeline" was shown at the
moving picture theatre. Motion
less, absorbed,one crowded house
after another, watched the
piteous story which the genius
the poet evolved from one of our
most pathetic dramas of history,
move before their eyes. The
sweet face of the "little maid 01
Acadie," praying at her window
on her bridal eve, the sturdy,
handsome lover, the black-robed
priest, the brutal English
soldiery, the indian runners, the
trail by canoe and the sighing
"forest primeva'," all these
were there. Not more still was
the hospital when "all was
ended" than the little theatre
that night. It is such things as
this that show whether our
people really wish to have
scenes of crime, brutality, sick
ening sentimentality displayed
before them. Our moving pic
ture shows can be not only en
tertaining, but instructive and,
with such management as ours,
will be what we wish.

cock" to be Published.
"The Life and Speeches of

a new book now being prepared

Connor and Mr. Clarence Poe as
sisted by the numerous friends
of the late ex-governor. The
book will not only give a graphic
and picturesque account of Gov.
Aycock's personality, character
and career, but it will also con
tain the cream of his public ad
dresses and political speeches,

pared for delivery in Raleigh,
April 12th, and his which many
regard as unsurpassed by him in
all his life. The book will be
brought out in handsome form

Page & Co., of New York, any
will sell cloth bound at $1.50 a
copy. That it should have a
place in the book-case of every
North Carolinian and be red by
the children in every North Car
olina home, goes without saying.
The publishers have determin
ed to offer liberal terms to agents,
and that it will be one of the
best selling book propositions
ever offered in North Carolina, is
easy to foresee. Dr. Albert An
derson, Raleigh, N. C., is busi
ness manager of the proposition
and all requests for agent's terms
should be sent to him. It may
be said in this connection that
Dr. Anderson, Mr. Connor
and Mr. Poe are all doing their
work as a labor of love and with
out rewc rd or hope of reward.
The publication of the book is
being rushed with all pjssible
speed and it is hoped to have it
ready for delivery wither; a few
weeks.
In order ro make the most life
like possible characterization of
Gov. Aycock, Mr. Connor and
Mr. Poe are asking his friends in
eveiy pare of the Siate to send
them any authentic reminiscen
ces, incidents, anecdotes and con
versations ot any Kind regarding
Governor Aycock tnat will shed
