"POLLY OF THE CIRCUS"
MAKES 1T AUTHOR CRY

| Judged by its effect on Mae Marsh
the star, and Margaret Mayo, the
author, Goldwyns first production,
Polly of The Circus" to be shown
at the Opera House Tuesday, Nov 6,
is destined to win both laughter ana
tears from audiences throughout the
world.
Mae Marsh and Margaret Mayo were
present at the first showing of the
completed picture in Goldwyn's New
York projection rooms, As the cam
era followed Polly through her vicis-
STUDIES to the final triumph of love
and faith, the combined spell of Miss
Marshs wonderful acting, the truly
remarkable photography and lighting,
and the alphabetically interwiyen
sub-titles told on Miss Mayo as it did
in greater or less degree on every
person in the rGVm. She cried a lit
tie bit.
Miss Marsh, who had never seen
many of the scenes in the production
of which she had no part laughed
aloud at the fine humor of the situa-
ton
She shouted with DELIGHT when Lit
tie Jimmie fell from the rainpipe onto
the head of his chum when they were
stealing away to see the circus.
1t isn't every photo-play that can
make its author weep and its star
laugh Sometimes authors weep and
stars laugh, but the causes are usual
ly very different than those that have
been noted in this case.

General Manager Monte D. Stone,
who has been looking over the New
YORK auto show, said that the asso-
citation had run up an expense ac-
count of $1,000 to promote the Rich
mond show. We will not only lose
that sum, but we will get in bad with

engagements to ship special exhibits

Ladd strong Supporter.
Councilman Jesse Ladd. a member Of
the Committee on Public Buildings.
Properties and Utilities. is q strong
supporter OF the Fuller resolution to
place the Grays' Armory at the dis
posal of the automobile association for
an auto show the week of January 81
February 3. He said:
"Of course from a military point of
view an armory should be used only
for military purposes, but after all
that is not what was In the minds
OF the City Council when they voted
the money to build It. Neither did all
the military men at that time consider
that the armory should be used ex-
ciusively for military functions. They
pointed out the advantage the armory
would be for public assemblies.
The war In Europe and the trouble
on the border has opened our eyes a
bit to the Importance of military mat
ters and II tends TO emphasize the
view that armories should be used only
for military purposes, but to my way
of thinking the opposition TO the use
of the armory for an auto show Is
due to something other than the fact
IL will establish a precedent
1T looks as II the boys have had
enough drilling and hiking during
their little stretch at the border to
last them for a time. When they are
mustered out OF the national service
they won't relish getting right back
into the old militia duty again. OF
course they may ! may be mistaken.
but it looks to me as II they would not
be in n hurry
ct strikes me that there must be
some fear that the boys viii shirk
drill. at least fer a season. II there is
a faliing-off In attendance at drill some
explanation must be made and 1t would
never do for a military man to say
the falling of was due TO a lack Of
military spirit"

Cubs New Manager Declares He Will
Never Regain His
Effectiveness.

According to Fred Mitchell. new
manager of the Cubs. Bill James. of
the Braves. will never regain his
pitching effectiveness Mitchell should
know. He developed James and made
him the pitching sensation of the
1914 National League pennant race
"At the age of twenty-five" said
Mitchell Bill James was the best
pitching property in baseball. The
year of 1919, when we won the PEN
nant and. world series for Stallings, I
wouldsnot have traded him for john
son or Alexander, He had everything
on the ball and the head TO know how
to use It.
1T Is a shame and I am sorry to
say it. but II is my opinion that James
will never pitch good ball again. He
has displaced lgament in his shoul-
der-0n hot day he can pitch as
well as ever. In practice. In game.
though, when he has TO rest between
innings. the arm cools on him, and he
is through.
II have seen stories TO the effect that
he will show his oid-time form this
summer. Don't believe them. At
twenty-four Big Bill James has ended
his big league pitching career, unless
a miracle comes to his ala And to
me it lis the greatest Of baseball TRACE

After q conference at the JEFFERSON
Hotel yesterday afternoon the officers
Of the Richmond Automobile Dealers
Show, Inc. who are endeavoring TO
obtain the use of the Grays Armory
for an auto show. the week OF jan
uary 27-February 3. issued the toi-
lowing statement
1--WE wish to thank everybody who
has offered aid in This movement We
appreciate the position OF the Admin
istrative Board and also recognize the
fact that the military gentlemen VINO
are opposed to holding the auto show
in the Grays' Armory have strong ar
guments in their favor.
However. we think that the people
OF the city are generally in favor of
holding tho show in the armory this
season
I'VE wish to state that the arrange
ments for the show were made while
the troops were beyond the border OF
the state, that the War Department
and the Department of the East were
consulted by the Administrative Board
before q tentative agreement was en-
tered into with the association TO hold
tho show and that the broad would be
willing to carry out Its assurance that
tho show could be held in the Grays'
Armory, were It not for the fact that
t00f0 Ii IN ODleCtIcn On the part ot
the commander OF the Richmond Grays
Battalion. This objection may be valid
from a military point of view, and
the Administ native Board has not vio-
lated any agreement with the show as
ISOLATION by sustaining II. Chairman
Hirschberg having stated at several
conferences that the consent OF the
board depended upon the return of the
troops and the position taken by the
commander Of the Grays.
Tho association has placed the mat
ter before the City Council and their
position has been Endorsed by the
Board Of Aldermen. II Will come up
for concurrence at the special meet
ing of thu Common Council tonight
We trust the Council will indorse the
action Of the Board OF Aldermen and
will then carry the matter TO the Ad-
ministrative Board again. backed by

Council 90 Offset tho selection on the
part of the military
