SITUATION HINGES ON
GENERAL CARRANZA
Is Invited to Send Representative to
the Conference at Niagara Falls.
1t is hoped that He will
Accept Invitation

Niagara Falls, Ont, June 3.--Me-
diatiOn tonight waits on Gen. Venu-
stiano Carranza. The Constitutions
list commander in chief has in his
possession a communication from the
mediators that opens the door for Con-
stitutionalist representation in the
conferences here. Upon his word de-
pends whether the Mexican problem
will be settled by diplomacy or whe-
ther the Constitutionalists will con-
tinue to fight their way to Mexico
City.
The mediators have smoothed the
path for Constitutional participa-
ton. The United States government
wants them to accept. A rejection
may mean the Washington govern
ment's withdrawal of the moral sup
port it has been cause.
The mediators tonight are hopeful
ly confident General Carranza will
send conveys here.
There were no conferences to-day.
No obstacles will be placed in the way
Of Constitutionalist participation by
the Huerta delegates.
The contents of the mediators' note
transmitted to Genearal Carranza was
not revealed here.
Misunderstanding Cleared Up.
The note clears up misunderstood
ings that have existed. The media
tors desire to treat the interests of the
Constitutionalists fairly. They are APP
preaching Mexican internal affairs
which have as we'll an international
aspect in tactful manner. There is no
purpose 20 legislate on the land ques-
tion.
/ What the American government and
the mediators desire is that the new
provisional government shall be NOR
ally obliged to dispose of the land
question with justice to all interests
If the Constituencies refuse to en-
ter, an agreement will be reached be-
tween the United States and the Huer-
ia administration through which q
new government will be set up. 1t is
probable that Argentine, Brazil and
Chile will accord recognition and mo-
raj support to the new provisional
government The United States will
be expected to do likewise. Should the
Constitutionalists by military force
upset such a program, it is believed
recognition would be withheld until a
new government set up along the prin-
cipals of the mediation conference is
Installed.

Open New Olympic Park

proved a great success so far. both for
the managers and the public. The
park is used II the weather permits

Fourteenth and v streets. is the new
est enterprise of that sort the open

evening with the production of "A

The park has been so constructed
that from every one of the 1000 seats
provided a clear view Of the screen
is obtained. The decorations of the
park are especially noteworthy. The
Olympic Theater, 1881 U street. will be
thrown open to park patrons when the
weather will not permit the open-air
show. In the meantime. the theater
will be thoroughly overhauled for the
next winter season.

1t was the pay envelope. But it
is actually true that We all long

Miss Fair was perfectly poised. More

was putting the finishing touches to a

Henrietta Crosman, and 1t was a prob

Meats IL the figure Is slender enough to

her needle and stuck It on the side Of
her dress while she pinned the goods
together, .'and Henrietta is certainly
slender. Still, there Is something very
graceful about the long plain tunic,
don't you think?'
Joyce Is as attractive as she is clever.
And her cleverness includes proficiency
as a pianist, a voice Of power and
sweetness, dancing grace and agility,
which have won her a dozen or more
silver trophies. and unquestionable
dramatic ability.

But Tom did not feel that way
about 1t.

he sat hidden in the grass by the
fence around Grandmother Tabby's
house. Besides being very disap-
pointed he was uncomfortable, for
the grass tickled his nose, and
little bugs annoyed him. But he
had slipped away from home and

THE BEST
Photoplay Department in
WASHINGTON
RuShndn Tells Ho1r
Acting for Film
Differs From
the Stage

One of the reasons stage stars
hnd the photoplay difficult is that
while a reel Of film containing
probably fifty scenes is~run or in
fifteen to twenty minutes, one scene
of a play usually takes from
thirty to forty-five minutes. This
may not be a very explanatory ex-
PLANTATION to most people. 1t wasn't
to us when Francis x. Bushman
stated the case in these terms
but when he added a paragraph or
two more 1t really does sum up the
entire difficulty. Bushman may be
reckoned as an authority on The
subject because he has done both
He was something of a stock celeb
rity before he went into the photo
play business And he knows most
of the difficulties of both. And in
stating his case as he did he put
into a few words the fundamental
difference between the stage and
the film It can be reduced still
further. to one word-action.
The tendency on the stage today
te toward repression. InlS means
q suggestion Of what Is going on
in the actors mind and Of the cli-
max that Is about to be achieved.
The idea Is to carry along a bit
Of suggested movement or action
five or ten minutes in order that II
might get over" the footlights
surely. Mr.. Bushman explained II
very accurately in describing a
scene between a leading juvenile
and the ingenue in working out
their love story. When the two
come on the stage together for
their big scene. the idea is to delay
the climax, sidelong glances. studied
SAmure by-play are continued until
climax pops up suddenly.
2ais sort of thing is the very life
.many plays. Ii makes the audi
0hce appreciate the characters on
the stage more and gives them a
much happier form of entertainment
than hurrying the action The re-
verse Is the case with the photoplay.
On the screen everything must be
action There can be little of the
by-play, little of the repression
but IL cannot be carried on for long.
Should a play DE produced on tho
screen rs II Is on the stage il would
drag perceptibiy. Mr.. Bushman states
that this Is one OF the most difficult
things for tne stage star to learn
