Broadway After Dark" the Bijou

ute play, treating in masterful man
ner a subject that is vital to the well
fare and happiness of every home shell

son, pointing to the insidious means
by which the serpents of vice and
shame creep into the home and lay
curled before the honest firesde until
such time as they are ready to strike

of young and innocent girls.
1t is a fearless indictment against
the pernicious influence of disreputable

liet at least once in their career, and
Francis y. Bushman and Beverly
Bayne. the foremost stellar combina-
ton that ever appeared in the silent
drama, are no exceptions to this rule
Indeed, the completion of the elaborate
screen production of Shakespeare
immortal drama, marks the highest
achievement of their picturesque and
successful careers and the fulflIment
of hopes they have long entertained.
Ever since Mr.. Bushman and Miss
Bayne first came into fame, about
five years ago, their admirers in le-
gion have deluged them with letters
suggesting that they appear in 'Ro-
meo and Juliet" The two artists were
extremely anxious, on their own ac-
count, to give their Interpretation of
these roles. But they turned a deaf
ear on all proposals to appear in a
perturbation of the drama until thew
were assured that it would be pro-
duced on a scale in keeping with their
ideas and ideals.
1T was not until a suitable scenario
was found by the Metro Quality forces
that the matter was seriously consid-
cred. Then the brainiest and most
expert men in the profession were
called together, and after a series of
conferences, the greatest presentation
of Shakespearean production of all
time was outlined. While it is true the
production in the realm of the silent
drama is robbed of the speaking voice.
Still there are many other features
substituted that more than offset
this loss. All the players speak their
lines, even If they are not heard, and
in this respect is is different from
any other feature ever made for the
screen"

Mobile is to be "cleaned IN ;,

Mobile is to be Cleaned up"
The long threatened drive of the attor-
ney generals office on Mobile and it's
alleged indifference to the enforcement
of the prohibition law is about to be-
gin.
This information became public yester-
day afternoon, when it was admitted at
the courthouse that Solicitor Hugo L.
Black had been requested to go to Mo-
bile at once by Attorney General w. l..
Martin.
1t was also stated that Attorney Cen
eral Martin would go to Mobile today
from Montgomery and would arrive
there tomorrow morning
Solicitor Black left at 1875 o'clock last
night for Mobile, and he admitted before
leaving that he would be gone several
days In court yesterday afternoon he
would neither affirm nor deny that he
was going on a mission to clean up
Mobile county of alleged lawbreakers
II am going to Mobile, and will be gone
several days" was all that Solicitor
Black would admit.
From other sources than the solicitor
1t was gathered that at the time of the
prohibition trials at Scale, several weeks
ago, the matter of cleaning up Mobile
county was discussed between the attor-
ney general and his assistants, and it
was generally agreed that Mr.. Black
would draw the appointment of muck
raking'' the Gulf City.
Detectives employed by the citizens
who favor law enforcement in Mobile are
said to have been at work for several
weeks gathering up evidence regarding
the alleged indifference of the public to-
ward the prohibition laws and the pres
ent trip of Solicitor Black and Attorney
General Martin is to review the work
already done and to see what more is to
be done before the grand fireworks" be.
gin.
Yesterday afternoon Solicitor Black
was questioned on whether it was pos
sible for open violations of the prohibi-
ton law to continue without the con-
nivance of the constituted authorities.
Mr.. Black replied:
Il don't know why that question Is
asked at the present time, but neverthe-
less L will answer it, There can be no
open violations of the prohibition law,
as it is now constituted, without the con-
n1vance or utter indifference of the con-
stituted authorities. If in Jefferson
county the juries were so Indifferent to
law enforcement that they brought in
verdicts of not guilty on prohibition
cases l would still be able to enforce the
laws through the use of injunctons. In
fact, there can be no open violations of
the prohibition law, If the county and
CITY oHlc1als do their sworn duty. |
guess that answers your question:

Washington Dec is-All the dis

for grazing purposes, were smoothed
our IN conferences between the house
and senate and the measure now goes
to the president for his signature.
The bin has been supported by the
interior department and western con-
grossmen as a measure for further
opening the public domain
Many millions Of acres Of nom
irrigable land will be opened to stock
raising homestead settlement under
the bill and It is regarded as one OF
the most important affecting the pub

probably will become law next week

Little Money Necessary
Under It the lands will be open to

any money payment what ever except
ordinary filing fees.
Representative Ferris of Oklaho-
ma, author of the measure, predicted
10000 persons are likely to 90 from

states to take up homesteads
A section to which administration
officials objected, authorizing those
already holding homesteads to pur-
chase not exceeding 320 acres Of con

acre, was stricken out in order to pre-
vent speculation II would have per-
mitied homesteaders to hold the ad

Government Protected

an applicant for stock raising bone
stead entry applies for entry before
the charter Of the land has been of I
ficially designated, he will acquire no
rights against the government, al
though his rights will be good against
later entrymen.
The purpose Of this was to prevent

tempting to stop the government
from making another classification
and requiring 1t to substitute dispos
