COMMISSION RS
CALL ELECTION FOR
THE CHARTER BOARD
BOARD WILL HAVE TO TAKE
ACTION THIS AFTERNOON
SOME TIME ON QUESTION AS
TIME is LIMITED.

At meeting of the city commits
sioners, which will be held some time
today, the board will take up the
question of ordering an election for
the charter board, and it was stated
last night that the question would
probably be passed on today, a reso-
luton covering that order having been
prepared. This will be introduced if
the commissioners get together today,
and there is said to be no opposition
to its passage.
Commissioner Pou's mother died
last night, and he will probably be
prevented from attending any session
of the board until very late in the aft
ernoon, if at all, but the resolution
will have to be passed today to make
the call for the election legal.

'SThe Trail of the Lonesome Pine
Isis Today.


Isis Today.
''The Trail of the Lonesome Pine,
in which Charlotte Walker is to ap-
pear in her famous role of "June" at
the Isis today, is one of the most re-
cent and best Lasky productions, and
is staged under the personal direc-
ton of Cecil B. DeMille, director gem
eral, who has maintained throughout
the picture the wonderful atmosphere
of the Cumberland mountains and the
peculiar characteristics of the noun
taineers of that remote region.
The story has to do with the love
between the beautiful daughter Of the
leader of the illegal whiskey makers
and young revenue officer who has
been sent to the mountains to secure
the arrest of the father.
It was in the character of "June"
in the dramatization of this novel for
the speaking stage that Miss Walker
scored her greatest artistic triumph
and by special arrangement she was
secured to play the principal role in
the photodramatic version.
Mabel Norman, appearing at CO.
star with Fatty Arbuckla at the Isis
tomorrow in "He Did and he Didn't, !"
Triangle Keystone feature.
A remarkable play is ''The Price of
Power" the Fine ts-Triangle pro-
duction, coming to the Isis Theatre
tomorrow as the drama on the bill. It
is full of realism in showing mod
ern cotton mill in full operation and
a strike in which brickbats and clubs
figure. There is also a thrilling strug-
gle between worthless scion of an
idle rich woman and a beautiful fac
tory girl.
