several people in Belton realizing tha
necessity for more amusement hauses>
took stock in the enterprise.
In "Kast Lynne" ia a play In which
the ladies have reveled lachrymally
not for years, but for generations, not
only in the language of the original*
but in virtually every tongue—such a
creation must necessarily have enlist-
ed the ta'eats of many artists and
must at the same time have been
wtnessed under unusual circum-
stances.
Mabel Ballin, wife of the mural
painter now lending hia talents to
the films, plays the heroine whose
problems while old are forever new.
The part is associated with the mem-
ory of a dozen famous actresses,
whose achievements are part of the
history of the stage of America. The
play was first performed in London
in 1862 and in New York a year later.
Matilda Heron, Lucille Western, Ada
jGray, Clara Morris, Adelaide Cush-
man and Nance O'Nell are only a few
of the favorite actresses of the last
generation who were closely identified
with "East Lynne."
No Agreement As to Wages.
(AasoclatiHft Presa Dispatcn.j
Houston, Tex., April 14.—The Gulf
Coast lines officials and representa-
tives of bridge foremen conferred here
today over the proposed schedule of
wages. No agreement was reached
and a Joint statement of facts will be
made te the United Stales railroad
labor board.
Far dowa through the glowing,
opalescent water of Honolulu bay, two
figures were grappling te the death.
One was the gortlle-Hka figure of a
man; the other the aleader figure of
a girl.
Twenty feet above them the barna-
cled keel of a tramp schooner wal-
lowed in the swell and cut off the
light of the moop.
It was the strangest fight that was
ever waged." The man was fighting
for the girl and she fought against
him, with strength born of despera-
tion, for her honor.
The incident Is to be vividly de-
picted today at Gem theatre when
Annette Kellerman appears in her
greatest modern comedy drama,
"What Women Love."
Bernard McOonvIIIe, author of
many of the Mary Fkkford. Norma
Talmadge, and Lillian Gish screen
successes, wrote a wonderfully dra-
matic story around Miss Kellerman's
abiHty to live under water and the
gripping battle scene is just one high
light in the amazing production.
"What Women Love," a First Na-
tional Attraction, was produced by
Sol Lesser, the young Pacific coast
chieftain of the First National Ex-
hibitors' Circuit. It was directed by
Nate Watt, who was previously iden-
tified with the Lois Weber produc-
tions.
Wheeler Oak man, Walter Long, the
famous Bull Montana, Carl Ullrnan
and Ralph Lewis are amon» the fani-1
oug players who support the star.
"What Women Love" begins a two
day engagement at the Gem theatre
today.

Little Comment
by Foreign Press
jon the Message
(Associated Prrss Dispatch.)
Paris, April 14.—-The text of Presi-
dent Harding's message had not yet
reached Paris this morning and the
newspapers based their comment on
extracts from the message thus far re-
ceived. Some of the commentators,
notably those of L'Homme and Libre
and the Gaolois, criticized the lack
of information possessed by France
on the state of affairs at Washing-
ton. The Cablegramme, a new daily
representing important business in-
terests, said:
"M. Jusserand was not kept In-
formed as to what was going on at
the White House and in the lobbies
of the senate. Under the pretext of
not wanting to offend American opin-
ion, he has discouraged all Initiative
to promote our interests, and has left
ns recently in prodigious ignorance
of things over there. It pains us that
we must speak thus of such a man as
M. Jusserand, but we are at a point
where successes in the past cannot
compensate for failures In the pres-
ent."
Under the caption "President Hard-
ing's Good Sense." the Figaro said:
"President Harding seems to have
decided upon insisting in both Amer-
ica and Europe upon the policy of
good sense. Nothing could be hap-
pier for France, whose interests have
always suffered ideas in general, and
Wilsonism in particular. President
Wilson did not take into account the
tacts. His views had always to pre-
vail, notwithstanding realities."
London, April 14.—Only the Morn-
ing Post and the Daily Chronicle have
thus fat; ventured to give President
Harding's message editorial considera-
tion, while the Manchester Guardian
regarded as the most influential
among the provincial journals, is re-
maining silent.
The reason, it Is pointed out, may
be traced back to the editorials writ-
ten when Mr. Harding was elected.
Most of the most prominent newspa-
pers ftt that time expressed keen dis-
appointment over what they charac-
terised as President Harding's policy
of seclusion. Now they are pursuing
the course of saying nothing which
might cause offense to the United
States. Tho note of caution against
the writing or speaking of provoca-
tive language Is constantly toeing
sounded throughout the country.
Anarchist Driven
Out of Town With

(Associated Press Dispatch.)
Benton, 111., April 11—A man, who
last night attempted to deliver an
anarchistic speech on a street corner
of Rend City, near here, was escorted
out of town by a mob, according to
reports. Several in the mob struck

A picture replete with
thrilling feats and side-
splitting laughter, of the
man who invented his
way to the altar.
Don't fail to 3ee this
big pieture.
Everyone who has seen tho magni-
ficent photoplay, "Behold the Man,"
which is being shown for the last ttnta
today at tha Crescent theatre, ara
loud la their praise of this master-
piece of dramatic art.
Many pleturtaatlons ot the life of
Christ have been made and soma of
them have been deserving ol especial
merit, but according to competent
critks from lawyers, business men
and doctors to college professors and
ministers, none have ever approached
Behold the Man" In Its vivid por-
trayal and masterful handling of this
most stupendous subject.
The influence of this, great picture
Is most uplifting; its power for good
could never be overestimated.
Aside ITcmj tha wonderful story
which it portrays, there is a wealth of
artistry In the settings. Many mar-
velous tetor effects in the blending of
the various shades and tints are ob-
tained, which make the film a delight
to the eye of all who are possessed
with artistic appreciation.
In pleasing contrast to this serious
production is the other feature on the
same program, "Extravagance" with
pretty May Ailfson at her best in a
role which presents her in all her
winsomeness and elegant grace,
"Extravagance" is a fitting name
and as might be expected, the picture
furnishes a wealth of beautiful set-
tings in which magnificent gowns
forfn a most conspicuous part. It Is
a veritable style show of all that Is
elegant and a la' mode in milady's
wardrobe. This feature alone will
make it a pieture doubly appreciated
by the feminine sex.
Altogether the double bill at the
Crescent is one of unusual merit and
one which will leave a lasting impres-
sion with all who see it.
