FILMED TTOM THE UNIVERSAL THE MONOGRAM Drake & Walker's Big Musical Comedy Review, with twelve people opened their two weeks' engagement here on Monday night to packed houses. It has been more than a year since this company has been seen on the Stroll; it has been seen as a remarkable reputation through the East and South-East. They have played every theater of any note through those sections with great success, the reports being universally fine. And these reports are certainly justified as there has never been a company seen at this performance. The reports of Drake-Walker aggregation for versatility and the ability to put their goods over in proper style. Everything from a clever monologue to a military drill, and the chorus is so far above the average seen at the Stroll houses as to be a best comparison; indeed, the singing offered is a feature and the way the sougs are baptised shows the discriminating care with which the large chorus has been trained. Drake, who is prin-cion comedian, is too well known to the patron program to need special mention; suffice to say that his work along that line stands out. The costing is new and the music is catchy. They will present an entire change of routine for their second week and this engagement is sure to prove one long to be remembered.

But some theater is sure to be packed to capacity. There have been a great many critics who declare that "Neptune's Daughter" is greater than all other plays in which the famous Annette has appeared; be that as it may, the fact that she ranks high in the firmament of great productions, and is recognized as the greatest triumph of the century, both from the standpoint of the spectacular as well as to interest and sensational. "Is an eight reel, and there is more action than a hundred thousand feet than is seen in the large features carrying twice its length. The story is a thrilling fantasy; of the mysterious deep, and deals with the experiences of a mermal who is a daughter of the monarch of the sea. In response to the latter has become enmeshed in the nets of fishermen, she has her first experience as a being able to live above the water. This power is given her by a witch and the latter changes the mermaid to a beautiful girl, throwing her in contact with the mermal in mortal world. Love, of course, plays a prominent part in the story and sensation after sensation follow each other in rapid routine. Never in the history of Miss Kellermann's experience has the mermaid been able to master the powers which have made known as the greatest of all experts in aquatics, and in the cast are the pleck of all the world from the ranks of the swimming experts. A terrific hand to the mermaid allows her to be an evil prince, whom the mermal has dragged down under the sea, and one of the greatest demonstrations of swimming ability ever seen on a screen, or elsewhere, is given. Miss Kellermann proves the right to be called the "Daughter of the Daughter" is a subline achievement of the moving picture art. "Neptune's Daughter" was produced by Herbert Brenon, who directed "A Brides and other great features."

Reme, Ga., Jan. 26.—The jury which heard the evidence in the murder trial of Joe August, charged with the murder of his wife and her alleged paramour by striking them with an axe was found guilty of voluntary manslaughter. The jury brought in its verdict this afternoon in the Superior court. August had pleaded the "unwritten law." Judge Wright has not yet pronounced sentences. Without the slightest emotion, but with marked complacency, Joe August related this morning to the jury the details of one of the most ghastly tragedies ever enacted in Floyd county, and in which he played the leading role. August was placed on trial for the murder of his wife, Rosa August, on the night of last December. He also killed his wife's paramour, Frank Townsend. The weapon used was a double-bladed axe. Solicitor General Porter (white), who vigorously prosecuted the case, sought to show that August laid a trap for his foulish wife, and that the double murder of his wife, the money W.B. Mebane, representing the defense, was a strong light for his client, claiming that he was justified in defending the sanctity of his home. There was no evidence introduced for the defense.
