AT THE MAJESTIC.

1t is rarely that motion picture
spectators are privileged TO witness
so exquisitely artistic a performance
as that OF Mary Pickford in MADAM
Butterfly" the Famous Players Film
Company's magnificent adoption of
John Luther Longs classic. which has
already become familiar through the
medium OF opera, novel and play. All
the poetic beauty Of this sad tale has
been preserved and enhanced in the
film production which Is the Para
mount Picture at the Majestic today.
The pathetic story OF Cho-Cho-San
MADAME Butterfly" as her treach-
erous American husband calls her
is told with infinite artistic skill.
There is no pretense Of snowy theat-
Realism in the staging OF the pro-
duction. which has been accomplish.
ed with the assistance OF especially
engaged authorities on Japanese cos
tunes and manners. For pure pathos
and dramatic interest Madame But
terfly," which was directed by Sid
ney Olcott, has few equals in the
whole realm OF fiction and OF the
stage. With the splendid settings
which have been produced as the
background OF Miss Pickford's I'M
excelled art, the photo-adaption ranks
as one of the foremost productions
of today.

bill will be filed in the senate next
Monday.
The proposed law will provide for
humber plate which will last three
years; registration fee will be based
on the horse power of the car; and
distribution of the fee will be the
same as in the present law. The tax
will be permanent lien on the car.
IL the registration fee is not paid
before March 1 of each year 10 per-
cent penalty will be assessed by the
new bill. On April 1, another 10 per-
cent will be assessed, and the county
attorney will be required to make the
collections from all owners who have
neglected to pay.
A feature of the new bill is an IN
crease in the cost of dealers number
plates from 81 to $40 each. The COM
mittee put in this provision to end
the practice Of dealers letting pur-
chasers operate new cars for months
under dealers numbers, 1t is said.
The new type of number plate w-il
be heavier than the present plate and
will cost considerably more. The
committee figures that the proposed
plan will save the state 100000 a
year.
