CHRISTMAS TREE DONTS.
Precautions That, if Observed, Will
Prevent Holiday Blazes.

The Louisiana State Society for the
Reduction of Fire Waste, reminding
US that "fire prevention leaves no af-
termath of regret" and "a house OF
merriment is better than house OF
mourning" has issued the following
don'ts for the holiday season:
"Do not decorate your Christmas
tree with paper, cotton or any other
infiammable material. Use metailc
tinsel and other non-inf1ammable
decorations only, and set the tree Sc
curely so that the children in reach
ing for things cannot tip it over.
"Do not use cotton to represent
snow. If you must have snow, use
powdered mica or asbestos fiber.
'sDo not permit children to light or
relight candles while parents are not
present. They frequently set fire to
their clothing instead. Electrical H.
Elimination is safer.
"Do not leave matches within reach
of children at holiday time. Candles
are meant to be lighted, and if the
children can get matches they will
experiment with them. They initiate
their elders.
"Do not allow trees to remain in
side buildings after the holidays. The
tree itself ignites readily when needles
have become dry A large number
of fires usually occur in January from
this cause"

Hula dance which Ann Pennington
contributes to the Ziegfeld ''Follies. "
This picturesque Hawaiian dance has
been incorporated in the Famous
Playefs-Paramount picture, 'sThe
Rainbow Princess" in which Miss
Pennington will be seen at the Grand
Wednesday,. In order to make the
scene as realistic as possible, a Ha-
waiian village was erected as back
ground for the dance, and the cele-
brated Hawaiian orchestra which ac-
companies Miss Pennington on the
stage was engaged to play for her
during the filming of the dance for
the screen. The mere fact that this
is the most expensive Hawaiian or
chestra in this country did not deter
the producers from using the musi-
clans, because it was felt that Miss
Pennington would be more at home
with the same accompaniment which
she had had ali season.

THE RECOGNITION OF JOHN M.
Function in Homer of Progressive
Leader Rightly Named.
Lake Charles American-Press.


The recognition dinner" to be Civ
en- in New Orleans January 8, in hon.
or Of John M. Parker, is token of ap.
probation for his services in the re
election of Woodrow Wilson which
will be properly and worthily bestow.
| ed. At the same time it is not withou;
| its humorous aspects.
| The term recognition, one NAV
presume, is intended to apply to the
Progressive leader; but it seems to
play large part in the arrangement
of the details. Complaints have al
ready been made that the Progressives
were not ''recognized; that the Re-
publicans were not recognized ;" that
former governor Hall has not been
recognized. One New Orleans edi-
tor complains that nobody is "recog-
nized" in the affair but the faithful
ward leaders; whereupon another edi-
tor intimates that the first editors
complaint was due to the lack of "re-
cognition" given him. Recognition"
truly seems to be the test word of the
entire function.
II the charge is true that the ward
leaders are taking full command in
this tribute to Mr.. Parker's unques-
toned and consistent political inde-
pendence, it is calculated to give rise
10 cynical reflections. Mr. Parker
represents a political viewpoint which
is as far removed from the ward lead
er ideals" if they may be so termed,
as the poles are asunder. The 'ma-
chine Democracy" of Louisiana will
be placed in the position of praising
John NJ. for doing nationally what
they hate him for doing as fellow
citizen 1t is less than twelve
month since Mr.. Parker went up
against the Democratic machine in the
state and dented it so severely that
the last legislative session enacted
such a rigid primary law that its eff
feet, as the Monroe News-Star says,
will be to "enforee party loyalty
If John NJ. Parker had been poll
tician Of similar type to the Louisi-
ana variety, he would not have trou-
bled himself to chase the country
over at his own expense, advising the
to vote for President Will
son. If such laws had been in force
in the Republican states which Will
son carried, as the primary law re-
Gently enacted in Louisiana, the presi-
dents reelection would have been i'm
possible. Such independence as put
Kansas, California and other western
states into the Democratic column
would have been stified. Men like to
be free to vote as they think best at
the moment of voting, but not at the
expense Of violating printed pledge, |
with possible fine and jail sentence
This being the case, it is hard to
see what the state politicians have
suddenly discovered in John NJ. Park
er to admire, beyond the fact that his
in national politics may
give them an incidental chance at the
Democratic pie counter. For John
NJ. Parker is the same John M. who
crowned long career of opposition
to machine politics by leading, last
spring, what amounted to Demo-
cratic revolt. Perhaps they are prais-
ing him for his independence for the
purpose of keeping him independent,
for as distasteful as Mr.. Parker may
be to them as party enemy, ne IS
rather more Objectionable as party
associate.

every Pearl a Tear.

There is no lack of incident in this
Lasky feature, which will be Thurs
days attraction at the Grand. The
spectator is kept interested from the
first, thanks to the art and the per-
sonality of the star, Miss Fannie
Ward.
The plot is handled very cleverly,
and the way in which the unsophis-
ticated little maiden gets into the
stock market and saves her lover from
ruin is both dramatic and amusing
The thought to make rope of pearls
the instrument of wrong and the
weapon of atonement is very effective
ly carried out in the story.

are generously in evidence, and help
to put the picture over"

Dave Allen and jim Butterfield,

"The Scarlet Oath

Gail Kane, one of the most talented
and popular stars Of the silent drama,
will be seen at the Gem today in ''The
Scarlet OATH" fve-part feature PIC
ture of unusual interest and dramatic
force.
"The Scarlet Oath" falls in the class
of what is known as twin sister stories,
in which one sister assumes the ldentl-
ty of the other in order that the intrl-
cate tangle of the plot may be effectu-
ally unwoven. 1t is a mighty good
story of it's class, we'll conceived and
well worked out.
The dual role of the twin sisters
is creditably handled by Gail Kane.
There are only one or two places
where double exposure photography
is necessary to show the two sisters at
once. Miss Kane has interpreted the
widely opposed characters of the two
girls in a most efficient manner-the
lighthearted, frivolous nature of Nina,
the pampered society girl, and the
brooding revengefulness of olga,
brought up and educated in Nihilistic
circles with the one idea of revenge
and murder as her sole object in life.
The story tells of the Nihilist, Paw
loft, exiled from Russia, who comes to
this country with his twin baby daugh-
ters. On the steamer a lonely wealthy
Russian couple, the Karenins, try to
persuade him to let them adopt Nina.
He refuses, but later, being reduced
to dire want, is forced to consent.
Karenin gives him large check to be
used for Olga's education.
Years later Pavloff has achieved
great success as revolutionary writ
er and has become the leader Of the
Nihilists in America. He receives
word that Savaroff, who caused the
death of his wife, has become chief of
the dreaded Russian third section. He
and Olga take solemn oath to bring
about Savaroff's death. They journey
to Warsaw secretly and at a meeting
of the Nihilists are captured. Olga, in
order to save her father from death
by torture, consents to remain with
Savaroff in his house for one night.
While there she learns that her father
has died and as a result kills Savaroff.
Escaping, she is mistaken by John
Huntington, her sisters fancee, for
her sister. disappearing as his wife,
the two escape from Russia and safely
reach America. There Olga is shot by
Russian spies and Huntington learns
of his mistake when Nina, his real
tiancee, suddenly appears on the scene.

"The Devils Prize, "

The story of the Vitagraph Blue
Ribbon feature, "The Devils Prize"
featuring Antonio Moreno and Naomi
Childers, which is to be shown at the
Grand next Friday, overbounds with
human interest touches.
Marguerite Bertsch, who is respon-
sible for the stories of number of
Vitagraph successes, both wrote and
directed this production and it is more
than worthy to be called super
feature.
In this picture Miss Bertsch has
shown us a side of our nature which
we did not know existed. 1t is a
case Of "Your skin-or miner 1t
is human nature to blame another fo1.
our mistake or act, and only eonsci-
ence prevents us from doing SO time
and time again.
If we should allow ourselves to
blame others for our act very often
it would soon become SO natural for
us to do so that we would be unable
to do otherwise. AS one of the lead
ing characters says in the play, "You
have blamed your crimes on others so
long that you are not conscious when
you do sop
Never before was picture releas-
ed so full of psychological and human
interest situations.

s.The Kiss"

An interesting dramatic comedy of
polite society is "The Kiss" featur-
ing Owen Moore and Marguerite
Courtot, which comes to the Grand
Monday. Mr.. Moore plays the part
OF an American aviator on furlough
from foreign service. Miss Courtot is
seen as Louise, the companion of the
hero's grandmother, and, along with
a dozen other girls, very much in love
with the lion of the hour.
AS the title indicates, a kiss figures
largely in the working out of the
story-not one, indeed, but several of
them. This is due to the efforts of the
hero to identify the young woman
Wiaa4in the dark had # fayored him with
a definite token Of her regard and
promptly disappeared from the land
scape. The situation resolves itself
into study Of the psychology of the
kiss; it affords opportunity for specu-
lation on the part of the observer as
to whether there was in the brief con-
tact sufficient of the tangible, recog-
nizable or definable to set apart the
particular young woman from her fell
lows. iue SNIiSIice SeeLled ~ AoNoi
the affirmative.
There is sterner side to the story,
however-wherein the daughter of
the employer Of the heroine loves un-
wisely if well a man who seeks to
profit financially through her affection
for him; who hesitates not to trim"
her at cards and to insist upon prompt
payment of the obligation, even being
SO insistent as to cause the weak-will-
ed woman to rifle her mothers safe.
There is hardly justification for the.
accusation that Louise is the thief,
but the denunciation leads to train
of exciting incidents.
