NOT TO CANCEL OIL ORDERS.
Corporation Commissioner Recedes
from Position.

Oklahoma City. Jan. 20.-GeOrge A.
Henshaw, corporation commissioner
who announced last week that he
would cancel all conservation OF oil
orders OF the commission, now that
the legislature IS in session and in
A position to afford relief, has yield
ed to opportunities Of many produc-
ers and said that he will not make
the cancellation. He Is none the less
determined that the oil conservation
matter shall be handled by powers
and duties Of the commission will be
definitely defined and made effective
by enactments of the Fifth legislative
assembly now in session.
Mr. Henshaw has received many
letters and kilograms from his friends
among the producers, urging him to
stand pat on the orders that are in
force, pending the action that may
be taken by the legislature. Some
of these assert that there is no need
for other law than the personal in
Guence of the commissioner In the
premises. Mr.. Henshaw has been
very diligent in his conservation
plans during the last eight months,
and there is no doubt that his eff
forts to make a slim law spread over
a big situation have had remarkable
roaults in comparison with the pow
pr that was granted.

Theatorlum Sunday, Jan. "a

\ drama of South American revo-
luton, Captain Alvarez" is that OF
4 tyrannical president, Rosas, hated
for attempting to quell revolution
under q popular leader. A large part
Of the action takes place in and
around the home of Don Arana, at
tached TO the federal cause, though
his niece, Bonita, is in sympathy with
the reyolutionists.
Arch-yillain is Tirzo. the spy, who
stands so well with Don Arana that
the latter fayors Tirzo's suit for
Eonita's hand. Tirzo is an active.
determined and ever present villain,
one OF the good old kind, and the
role is admirably sustained by George
Holt. He is bold and strong. one
of the strongest resources of cow
ardly and yillainons president, very
much of man except in the char
acter OF service he renders. and the
only possible foil to such a hero as
soon comes on the scene to fall in
love with Bonita and complete the
eternal triangle.
The hero is certainly a corker We
do not learn from the sub-titles of
his heroic acts, we see him in the
midst of enough reckless exploits
to satisfy the most ardent lover OF
adventures on the screen. He is a
magnificent rider, and. quite in the

when in military action He is In
South America on business and joins
the revolutions more or less as

interests take him TO the house OF
Bonia's uncle, but he is suspected
by the spy and given wild horse,
Mephisto, to ride. He conquers the
animal before our very eyes, and at
the same time, makes a deep i'm
preston on fascinating Bonita.
Wainwright is compelled to leave
the country, and is seen by Gonzalo,
chief of police, sailing away, but he
drops from the ship and swims
ashore and secretly meets Bonita,
who has been led to believe that he
is in cowardly retreat. She gives

a plan to secure a hoard of federal
money deposited at the house of Don
Arana. He follows a series of ad-
ventures which lead to his arrest
and Imprisonment, but he escapes
on Mephisto and rides across a mar
roow footbridge at full speed, one
OF the most spectacular feats ever
shown on the screen.
Through lively incidents of love,
war and intrigue, Bonita and her
companion play parts of decided ac-
tivity, and the parts are well cast.
Edith Storey seems to be more in
her clement as an outdoor girl, which
she was in the Melies dramas be-
fore she became associated with the
