It is a well known fact that lovers of
photo plays have their 'favorites among
the actors in the cast and rave over
their cleverness and personal charm as
if they were before them on the legiti
mate stage in actual flesh and blood.
Mae Marsh, who plays Flora Cameron
the younger daughter in the southern
household in "The Birth of a Nation,"
at the Grand theatre, by her. success
ful appearance in many photo plays
during her three years' career, has at
tracted by herself like charm and naive
personality, many admirers who greet
with pleasure her appearance on tnei
screen. 4
Miss Marsh has many bits of fine act-1
ing in the picture.
Among the most delightful are the

personality lends itself to fine tern

She was discovered by David W. Grif

Judge Galloway Makes
New Lot of Citizens
Judge Galloway today was busy
making American citizens, there being
26 in the class applying for naturaliza
tion. Before beginning the examina
tions Mr. Frank Davcy delivered an
address to the applicants upon the sub
ject of American citizenship, what it
stood for and what they as citizens of
the United States aro expected to stnnd
for.
Mr. Davey, always eloquent, pictured
in simple words the lofty ideals for
which the American flag stands and
pointed out the necessity of Mb hearers
adopting these as their standard of
citizenship. It was a brief lecture on
American citizenship, but a classic,

said the applicants, one and all, were
the best informed on the subject of any
he had ever examined. This he be
lieves is due to tha Interest taken by
Americans in the subject of naturaliza
tion with its consequent furnishing of
literature on the subject which in this
case, at least was thoroughly studied
and sremed to he well understood.
