EClL B. DE MILE has
IN come forward with another
IA special production, said by
@ prominent eastern critics
IRf8I to be his best. This time
- hiS choice is the well-knowp
Rupert Hughes story, I'VE Can't
Have Everything" 1t will be shown
at the aRialto tfeater, the first four
days Of this week. Seldom is SO .splen-
did cast assembled in a single photo
play as that provided III I'VE Can't
Have Everything" kathlyn Williams,
Wanda Hawley, Elliott Dexter, Sylvia
Breamer, ,Thurston Hall, Tully Mar
shall and Theodore Roberts, all stars
in theft own right, are members of
the cast.s The story of the play deals
with the vexatious problem of mar
riage and divorce in high society
circles Of New York. There are
vampires galore, whose chief business
is that of matr rimony, men who marry
and, remarry only because it is, de
manded by society and men who are
seeking a real helpmate as wife.
There are perhaps more. divorces
and marriages in I'VE Can't Have
Everything" than in any single pro-
duction yet completed. Though there
are a number of leading characters,
they are paired off so as to make
separate plays within plays" the
whole blending cleverly into gen.
eSal idea Dramatic critics have been
almost unanimods in declaring it an
exceedingly difficult problem of pro-
duction which is cleverly handled by.
Mr.. De Mile. The idea of the entire
picture IS, I'VE Can't Have Every
thing" in this life, no matter how
great an effort toward that end may
be made ..
The famous La Jolia caves. near
San Diego. Cal, were brought into
service when Douglas Fairbanks was
filmed in The Americana" in. which
he appears at the Sun this week. Cal
ifornia boasts that it has scenery for
almost anything that can be imagped,
SO when it was demanded that
South American setting be produced
with high cliff with secret passages
through it ending in caves by the sea,
La Joila came to the rescue. The cav
crns extend more than 200 feet into
the side of an immense cliff and are
said to have been the rendezvous of
one of the most notorious of the ban
dts Of the early Spanish days on the
Pacific coast. The play itself is one
of Doug's best. There is mixture of
national enthusiasm, tropical revolur
ton and an intense love affair with
Doug the eager wooer of fair Span
ist girl. When the americana" not
at all liked in the South American
republic, starts his love romance about
the only person in the world who
seems to approve of it is the girl, but
after thrilling series of eveHts when
he proves that he is not only quick
witted, but also brave and true, Doug
wins the girl and sets the father back
in the seat of power.

CORDIAL RECEPTION TO

 ment at All Points.
 The committee composed of Secre- tary Eastin of the Mena Commercial Club, w. J. Lauck and r. w. Tomlin- son, representing the Commercial Club and Col. H. W. Knight, repre- senting Eastern parties, appointed to obtain the sentiment of the people relative to the construction of an cleo tric interurban railroad line from Mena to Hot Springs, returned Sun day night after two-day trip, and re- port cordial reception all along the route.
 Stops were made at Nunley, Board Camp, Big Fork, Black Springs, Wom- ble and Mount Ide, each point being given brief outline of the object of the visit. At every stop the people expressed themselves as heartily in accord with the building of such a road, believing it a much needed insti- tuition, and assured the committee of a good attendance at public meeting when one is called for further and more complete presentation of the proposition.
 Almost the entire business interest of Womble, when told of the nature of the committees visit, gathered at the hotel and stated in reply to in- quiries as to the attitude toward the road, that they would be ready at any time with representative au- dienee to attend public meetings and were sure the response would be fav- orable.
 Mount Ida people said that, nowith- standing the many disappointments, they had not lost hope of rail connec- tion with the outside world, and they, too, would present full attendance when meeting was held, and like sentiment was expressed wherever the committee stopped.
 At Hot Springs the sentiment is strongly in favor of such line, and representatives of the Business Mems League stated that they would gladly go into further details, and if the proposition as presented in concrete form appealed to them, they would lend the forces of the organization to it's prosecution.
