Many Big Stars
In intolerance

d. w. Griffith's latest spectacle,
Intolerance" which will appear
at the Tacoma theater again for
one week starting Sunday, is such
an extraordinary theatrical offer
ing that words fail to convey any
idea of it's magnitude and grand
eur, its marvellous spectacular eff
fects, it's human interest and its
amazing reproduction of histori-
cal events. In Intolerance"
there are four separate stories,
each with it's own set of charae-
tiers. Ancient Babylon, Judea of
the time of Christ, Paris during
the reign of Charles TX, and a
modern American city are the
scenes of these stories. Such film
stars as Mae Marsh, Robert Her
ron, Seena Owen, Margery Will
son, Miriam Cooper, Lillian Gish,
Tully Marshall and Bessie Love
have the leading roles.

CHICAGO and
GIANTS NOT
after FLAG
Both Teams Hover About
Second, But Can't
Reach Top.
Omitted Press Leased Wire,

NEW YORK, June 7.-Appar-
emily the Chicago White Sox are
determined not to win a pennant
in the American league and the
Giants are just as firmly set
against living up to expectations.
Ever since 1t became evidence
that Charley Comiskey and Harry
Hampstead were attempting to set
the style in flags the two teams
they have trotted out for public
observation have been unable to
put it over.
This spring the Giants have
been on top of the National league
on an assortment of days. They
have varied these visits with trips
to second and even to third place.
The White Sox have not done
so well. Their only visits have
been scattered around among the
positions beneath first place.
Every day when there has been a
chance for the Chicagoans to
Chamber over the champions they
have done the opposite and lost
along with the Bonstonese. Today
they rest in second place because
they couldn't whip the Senators
while the Red Sox were losing to
Detroit. And 1t was the third
loss in a week for the champions.
The Giants are reposing calmly
in second place while the Phillies
are holding the top section. A
lower berth seems to fit the New
Workers just as we'll as an upper.

THEATERS
REX THEATER

Would you stake your life as Sc
curity for the loan of an immense
sum of money, and sincerely intend
to pay the debt or forfeit your ex-
istence? 1.-THE Gay Lord Waring,"
hero of the Bluebird photoplay of
that title, to be seen at the Rex
theater today, did this very thing, his
unnatural brother holding the money
lending end of the proposition. J..
Warren Kerrigan plays the role of
the reckless and spendthrift English
man, who is so much of a "sport"
that he makes another bet with a
"loan shark" that he will kill him
self at the appointed hour. Many
exciting incidents transpire before
the fatal moment-and right up to
very hour in which he was to die
it looked as though Lord Waring
would pass his title to his brother by
the death route. The outcome of the
strange gamble constitutes a most
daring and unusual piece of photo
playing; the entire story is gripping
and punctured with thrills; "The
Gay Lord Waring" is an exceptional
feature even among the high class
company it keeps as Bluebird photo
play.

POSTAL RATES
 MAY BE CHANGED

Washington - The annual post offict appropriation bill reported t. the rouse carried provisions to in crease rates on newspapers, maga- zines and other second-class matter by a zone system; establish penny postage on local letters and impose heavier penalties for sending liquor through the mails. The bill would appropriate $329,553,120, $4,O0O,- OQO more than the current postoffice act, reajust rural carriers salar- ies ard increase the pay of mum ber of employees.
 Magazine publishers have protest ed vigorously against the rate in erase, which would affect only pub licaticns carried more than 300 miles, and Postmaster General Bur Ieso, proposed to Chairman Moon, Of the house postoffice committee, a sub-urovision to postpone the eff fectiYeness of the increase for a year after the measure becomes q law. The bill as reported would make the new rates apply after June 80, however, and Mir. Moon has not indicated what action will be recommended on MT. Burleson's sug zesticn. The bill probably will be debare ed in the house within a few days. | 1a a4& astsS l
 The bill directs that hereafter cat alogues and similar publications be classified as third class matter with increased postage. Another section provides that after July l next rural carriers pay shall be based cn length of routes, time re- quired to serve them, and quantity Of mai! transported. The maximum pay would be $2O00 with a mini mum of S4SO a year. No rural route which would require an auto mobile is to be established unless the car can be used with reasonable re rularity throughout the year.
