Mr.. Calvert was dubious. He wanted

such an expedient is sufficient TO damn
a play. yet in film it may be en-

The motion picture began its career
with wonderful future ahead OF it
and it still is ahead Of it. Eventually,
il is TO be hoped, the films Will live
up TO the promise they hold forth. But
the present output is almost exclu-
sively pifHe. and it is ridiculous for
the present-day producer to attribute
bias and ignorance Of film technique

the matter on the sporting pages, 50,
piqued, we shall blazon it forth within
our own domain.
There is a healthy demand, accord
ing to our notion, for twenty-five or
fifty ever-so-brief musical compost
tions melodies which can be played
in forty-fve or fifty seconds. They
are needed by the bands that oficate
at baseball games. As the game Is
played. the time between innings is
something under minute, and the
musicians invariably try to play three
or four minutes worth Of music in
that time. They have TO hurry fright
fully, and the effect is quite spoiled.

Washington, June 22-The United
States is anxiously awaiting word
from Mexico City regarding General
Carranza's attitude toward the Ameri-

High officials here admitted private

The only answer required from Gen

officials feared against hope that this
would not be done.
