five-part Metro Columbia wondreplay,
which will be shown here at the l..

well known stage and screen artists.

"IntOlerance" at L. & S.

D. w. Griffith's world-embracing
spectacle, Intolerance" will play at
the L. & S. Theatre three nights,
starting Thursday, January II, matt
nee and night.
Wherever one turns are heard ex-
|pressions of wonder and delight from
those who have been thrilled by its
Exchanging scenes. The stage has
feen productions of great magnificence
but they seem paltry and tawdry be-
side the far-reaching, all-embracing
story of the fruits of intolerance
throughout the ages. Mighty Baby
lon seems but few years ago. Its
j Inhabitants are as real as those of
italy or Germany of today. The prob
lens that beset the people of the
|4resent perturbed the dwellers in the
radle of civilization. On speeds the
story and Jerusalem the Golden is
RESTORED to its ancient grandeur. The
week and gentle Nazarenas walk
among men, teaching his gospel of
1--we until the gloom of Gethsemane
|gathers DER the scene. Restlessly
rocks the cradle of life and all Paris
is reborn. Weak-minded Charles TX
is on the throne, and his malevolent
mother, Catherine de Medici, begins
to weave the web of evil. Intoler-
ance broods over the fair city and
the grim massacre follows in it's wake.
Swiftly rocks the cradle and boy and
a girl of today are caught in the NAV
of maelstrom stirred into activity
by meddlers. Almost helplessly they
struggle. Backward and forward
weaves the shuttle of time. The lux
urious feast of Belshazzar spreads
before your eyes in sumptuous halls
a mile in length. Again you are in
Judea at the marriage Of Cana and
in the twinkling of an eye medieval
Paris again spreads before your eyes.
Not for one brief moment does the
interest lag Each story helps and
supplements the other. Greater and
greater grows the wonder of it all
a wonder that words cannot describe.
AS from the top of great noun
tain one gazes down at the world
spread out before far-reaching eyes
and the four mighty currents flow un-
til they join in one majestic stream.
1t is like a dream come true, vision
realized. No one can tell the story
with word, brush or pen. It is too
vast, too comprehensive, too far-reach-
ing in it's scope. 1t must be seen
to be realized. 1t will live for years
and prove a boon of enjoyment to
thousands who have never yet been
attracted to the theatre as we'll as
to those who have been frequent pa
irons of this form of entertainment.
An unceasing delight is the splen-
did musical scores accompanying the
scenes, played by large symphony
orchestra.

Great Crowds
Of People

The great problem confronting the public speak
er the amusement promoter, the politician seeking
office, and the business man, is just this:
Glow can we effectually reach people-great
crowds of people-without expending enormous
sums?
'What can we do to assure hearing-or a read
ing-of our message by large audiences, and not pay
too dearly for the privilege?"
The degree of success reached by the speaker,
the promoter, the politicians the business man. de-
pends very largely how much he knows of the art
of reaching many people without overspending.

Does Many Things Which
He Might Leave to
Others to Do

Washington, d. c.. March 5.-Oldes
attaches of the White House regar
President Wilson as the most methodical
systematic, time saving chief executive
within their memories.
From the very first of his administra
ton, the Mexican difficulties and the Er
ropean war have added UNNECESSARILY t,

| err.
Although during his first administra-
ton the president took no real vacation
he managed to maintain a regular pro-
gram OF physical recreation necessary to
conserve his health. He never has been
out of touch with the nations business.
When at the summer White House at
Cornish, N. H., or Long Branch, n. j., a
staff of secretaries was close at hand.
All during his first term the president
was not away from the White House
more than two weeks at a time on trips
travelling about the country and he new
err has gone further west than Topeka,
Kan.
Friends of Mr.. Wilson say he dislikes
the idea of going into the country, but
enjoys himself when he does go.
Many word pictures of the president
at work and at play have been written,
but those closest to him say that his
every day life is a natural one for
man who never has been wealthy and
has grown up in an atmosphere of regu-
larity and natural living.
Mr.. Wilson does many things personal
ly that could easily be done for him by
Others. Frequently he walks from the
executive offices to the White House to
get book or letter when he could more
easily press button and have someone
bring it to him. His liking for directnese
of action explains why on more than one
occasion he has walked to different gov
eminent departments to see cabinet
instead of summoning them TO
the White House. He has never allowed
precedent to interfere with the course he
thought the most direct.
The time the presidents working day
begins depends upon the season OF the
year, Ordinarily, in winter he gets up
between 7 and 1880 o'clock, but in sum-
mer he usually arises earlier-sometimes
at or $50. He believes in daylight
saving whenever possible.
Win he first came to the White House
he attended to most of his official work
in the morning and played golf in the

his program and played golf in the warm
morning hours and worked in the after

VILLA OUT OF IT.
Army Officers Belief-Report of Hines:
Seemingly Confirmed.

San Antonio, Texas, March 5.-Ad'
vices received Saturday by Gen. Pershing
tended to confirm the reported illness OF
Francisco Villa. Army officers think
Villa has ceased to be a factor of impor-
lance in the Mexican situation.
From a wounded Villa soldier who was
at FL Paso Saturday for medical treat
ment, government agents claim to have
learned of Villas plan to reduce his force
to 800 picked men, abandon his campaign
against Chihuahua City and disappear
for three months on a secret mission in
the interest of his provisional govern
ment, of which Miguel Diaz Lombardo is
to be provisional president.
Villas reason for this move was said
to have been twofold. One was to regain
his health, which was broken by expos
ure in the field and by his old wound in
the leg. and to make desperate effort to
capture Carranza, while the first chief
was on his present trip from city to city
in central Mexico.

WILSON ON SUFFRAGE.
Urges Tennessee Senate to Reconsider
Rejection of Bill.

Washington, D. c., March 5.-An earn
est hope that the Tennessee Senate will
reconsider its recent action in rejecting
a woman suffrage bill was expressed by
President Wilson in telegram Saturday
to the president of the Senate. The
measure already had passed the lower
house of the legislature, and the presi-
dent said he felt the upper house was
Sinking moral responsibility when it
refused to accept it, The telegram fol-
lows:
Hon. W. H. Crabtree, president of the
Tennessee Senate:
May ! not express my earnest hope
that the Senate of Tennessee will recon-
slider the vote by which it rejected the
legislation extending the suffrage to
women Our party is so distinctly
pledged TO its passage that it seems to
me the moral obligation is complete.

SHIPS READY TO ARM.
American Liners Could Put to Sea in As
Hours.

New York, March 5.--The six passen-
ger ships of the American line held in
New York harbor by the German subma-
rine menace are ready to take on guns
as soon as Congress authorizes the gov
F! eminent to arm American merchant yes
sells. A naval constructor and two ord
nance officers from the navy yard con
tinued Saturday an inspection of the
American lines ships. These officers
spent the greater part of Friday on
board the st, Louis, which, it is under
stood, will be the first of the American
feet to leave if the ship-arming bill be
comes a law. 1t was said that the liners
could be made ready for sea, il neces-
sary, in AS hours, so far as the installa-
tion of guns is concerned.
Inquiries by officers at the navy yard
regarding the caliber of guns now car
ried by French and British steamships
for submarine defense show that the
French liners are armed with naval 70
millimeters, a little more than three
inches; the Cunarders carry AIS and
the White Star liners six-inch guns.
There is talk OF equipping the st.
Louis, as an experiment, with new in
vention used in the British navy, which
places the control of the steering wheel
in the hands of the officer or pilot, who
is in charge of the bridge.
Officers of the American line say there
has been no rush to book cabins on the
st. Louis. The agents have the names
of about 80 persons who wish to be in
formed when the sailing date of any OF
the liners has been definitely fixed.
