visit of a regiment of infantry, sta
toned at Sea Girt. The Sd Infantry,
Colonel Thomas D. Landon. command
ing. will come to Asbury Park to re-

ard, which is to be presented by Miss
Grrzilla Taylor in her role of Miss
Liberty. The presentation will be made

precede the baby parade.
Governor Edge and Brigadler Gen
eral Barber have approved the scheme
to make the Goth a great patriotic
demonstration here, and at Mayor Het-
rick's suggestion have indorsed the ar
rangement for the presentation or the
colors. The Governor and the general
with their stats and other prominent
men of New Jersey will witness the
presentation ceremony.
Members of the new selective service
army of this vicinity will also parade
with the soldiers over the historic baby
parade concourse, and Home Guards
men and Red Cross nurses, Boy Scouts,
Girl Scouts and Campfire Girls Will
also be included in the line of march.
The soldiers, LOO strong, will come
from Sea Girt by special train. They
will march through the city streets 70
the open stadium, where Miss Liberty
and her party, the Governor and STAFF
will be waiting. After the presenta-
ton the soldiers will line each side OF
the street to stand at attention while
the baby parade passes in review.
No such military spectacle in New
Jersey, outside of Sea Girt. has ever
been staged as this proposed for New
Jersey patriotic day. While the ar
rangement is subject to Federal orders,
for the New Jersey Guard is now in
the government service, Mayor Hetrics
has been assured that there is little
likelihood that the troops will removed
from Sea Girt before September.

VTILLIAM FARNUM on the screen

VVTILLIAM FARNUM on the screen
w is all right, but William Far
mum in the flesh is mu"n
nicer. On the screen he is necessarily
silent, and in the flesh he never IS;
and after one has talked TO him one
never will be satisfied merely to look
at him.
II is doubtful if Mr.. Farnum ever
will be able to impress US again when
he portrays those heavy, serious and
usually extremely virtuous gentlemen
on the screen. We will always remem-
Der his recital Of the promiscuous per-
sons who want to go in the movies,
the horses who always win. for him,
and numerous other things in no wise
related to the gentle art OF being a
screen hero.
Mr.. Farnum talked Of climatic con-
ditions in the East and West, Of pick
ing winners at the track, of discourage
ing ringletted maidens from leaving
the business of tying up parcels to
become screen stars, of how to have
pleurisy, of the advantages OF having
a natural hirsute adornment, and Of
the disadvantages of wigs, of the lack
of attention to sub-titles which most
directors display, of the advisability
of having a musical accompaniment
during the taking of pictures, and OF
the horrors of being interviewed-but
never once did he speak of William
Farnum.
Mr.. Farnum is going to write a book
and call it "My Friends Little Daugh-
ter" and for this reason: 81 do not
know whether it is funny or pathetic,
but every one imagines that he Will be
wonderful success on the screen.
Those who ask me, however, seldom
ask for themselves. 1t is always that
they wish TO recommend their friends

ton includes all of the talents which

Il have a friend who has little daugh-
ter who is crazy to go in pictures |
usually agree sotto voce TO this part
Of it; she would be. Then he proceeds
to list her qualifications. She never
has been on the stage, but she sings
beautifully and plays the piano, and
can play golf better than any girl |

in clay, and is an all-around clever
girl. She knew that | knew you, so

the subject Of himself, but with little
success. We spoke of his admirable
portrayal of the dual role Of the mar
tyred Sidney Carton and his friend in
"a Tale of Two Cities" and Mr.. Far
mum replied by saying that few persons
realized the possibilities Of double ex-
posure. He also explained how it was
possible for a man to chloroform him.

TO walk away arm in arm with HIM
self by means Of the double ex-
posure. It is done by counting and
fitting each action to certain count,
so that when the two sides Of the film
are Joined together a person will ap-
pear to be communing with himself.
However, there is deadline, and the
actor is supposed to limit himself to
one side or the other of this in his ac-
ton. Mr.. Farnum was the first actor
TO cross this deadline and live to tell
the story.
For the last six months Mr.. Farnum
has been working on "The Conqueror,'
where he portrays Sam Houston. This
production is one of those half-million-
dollar photo plays which William Fox
loves to launch, and the star is as
sisted by eight thousand Mexicans,
negroes, Texas rangers and United

ASBURY PARK, y. j.. Aug. 25.-The
next time Alice in Wonderland COM
mutes to the End Of the Rainbow,
somewhere in Fairyland. she will ex-
perience a new thrill. The govern
ment of that place has had a revolu-
tion during the past week. and it all
happened on account of the queen. the
Red Queen whose beheading parties
were the thing in the social life Of
Alice's royal realm. The exigencies
of war have brought about an en-
barrassing situation, and the queen
has been forced to march herself to
the guillotine. off with her own head.
as far as power goes. and then accept
her job once more, this time, however,
in the role of Miss Liberty.
All of which is the box score sum-
mary of the new twist in the annual
carnival show of Asbury Park, the
Triumph of Democracy, which changed
the customary royal pageant of court
splendor into passing show of sim
plicity and star-spangled banners. and,
incidentally. called for a musical
programme of Pryor's patriotic
marches instead of Elfn strains.
Into a court of brilliant trappngs,
the scene of Asbury Parks corona
tions of other years. came the Goddess
of Reason. and by means of a gorgeous
set of tableaus finally convinced the
queen that she should withdraw her
royal claim and rule the kingdom un-
der the more democratic title of Miss
Liberty. The abdication of the queen
followed, but her loyal subjects de-
manded that she accept the leading
role in the new government and be
come the first lady in the land.
So simple did the whole process
seem, and so smoothly did it work out,
one is almost tempted to offer .he sug-
gestion to the belligerent Kingdoms
that they try few tableaus on their
emperors as final effort to bring
about repentance for past perform
ances.

queen and first Miss Liberty, had gath
