 Theatres.

One of the surest ways of impress ing historical facts on the minds of readers, students and amusement seekers is through the avenue of romance. That MT. George Klelne has recognized this fact is evidenced par ticularly in his latest big photo drama production, For Napoleon and France" which will be the attraction at the Elks Theatre for three days, commencing May 25.
 Although replete with spectacular battle. scenes that cannot fail to en- thrall the auditors, they but form the background for the romance that predominates. The story of this great photodrama relates that Capt. Larive decorated for valor, a hero in the eyes of his country, and the favorite of Napoleon, becomes the lion of the French court-then steep ed in immortality where intrigue and falsity were apparently the prime virtues.

Progressive Leaders Sound First Call to Arms in
 Pinchot's Behalf.

Oyster Bay, May 21.-From Saga more Hill tonight came the first trum- pet call to arms sounded by Clifford Pinchot Progressive candidate for senator in Pennsylvania E. A. Van Valkenberg, editor of the Philadelphia North American; William Draper Lewis, Progressive candidate for the governorship of Pennsylvania; George w. Perkins and Walter Brown of Ohio, chairman of the central com mittec.
 Colonel Roosevelt declared that his faith in the rank and file of the Re- publican party served to suppress in his mind any doubt about the election of Pinchot.
 Inasmuch as it was the colonePs first political statement since his re- turn and more or less an open flirta- tion with the Republican writers, the colonel's words served to indicate the way the campaign plans are shaping , behind the closed doors of the Roose- welt library.
