the picture at Crandall's 1t a very good

by the acting Of Grace Cunard and

Historical pictures, particularly those
dealing with American history. when
they are well acted and tell an interest
ing story, are facinating to watch. They
bring before us in closest sembiance to
real life the figures and scenes we have
previously known only In dryly written
histories. The figure Of Gen. Washing

patriotic troops at Valley Forge awoke
something Of a thrill In me that could

.FRISCO'S CHINATOWN

Two Daughters Of Consul Gen
eraI Abducted.

San Francisco, May 27.-Statewide
search has been inaugurated for the
two little daughters of Shan Ching
Shu, Chinese consul general OF San
Francisco, who disappeared from their
home Sunday night. :.
Siao Guai, aged thirteen, clad in red
pantaloons and blouse, and Min Lien,
aged eight, wearing blue pantaloons
and a black blouse with white bars,
were taken away from the residence
of the consul general according to
his report to the police, between 10
p. m. Sunday and GAS a. m. next day.
Neither can speak English.
The theory is advanced in China

resented by Shan spirited the girls
away for political reasons.
Chinatown was thrown into wild ex.
element by the report of the disap.
pearance of the girls. Every corner
and nook of it was combed by friends
and subordinates of the consul gen
eral before the police were taken
into his confidence in the matter.

The delay, coming closely on the

caused a great deal of speculation
but there was nothing official to bear
out the view that the conference was
