league is an agreement We must know what we
are to agree to- and no one has yet thought it
worth while to tell the people of the United States
what they are to agree to when league Of ma

Are we prepared to allow any association of
nations by majority vote to order the troops
and the ships of the United States to go to war?
Unless we are prepared to do so we are not pre-

to enforce peace.

1t required several innings for

Cicotte shut out his antagonists
with only three hits in eight rounds
tie laid them over straight, and
three safeties with - gift stolen

Louis BenIlisOn.

A new western star has been dis
covered, no not in the heavens, but
on the screen in the Goldwyn con-
stellatiOn. He is a combination
of the Fairbanks smile, the Hart
bad man, the Mix realism and the
Farnum physique. He is not 60
ing to specialize as an acrobat or
athlete, nor is he going to always
play the bad man reformed, as
most other western stars do. He
is going to be a comedian and his
speciality will be western comedy
dramas.
Louis Bennison is the name of the
new ranger who will star under
the Goldwyn banner. He is new
to the films, but has had much sue
cess on the stage. He starred for
two seasons in New York and on
the road in Johnny, Get Your
Gun" Previous to that he was
recognized for his excellent por-
trayal of the doctor in Damaged
Goods" and the socialist in 1.-The
Unchastened Woman" But despite
these parts Bennison may be called
distinctly western personality.
He was born in California and
Joined the Anchor-J outfit, a. big
California ranch, as a boy. For
five years he rode the range and
the largest salary he received i'll
that time was $25 a month. 1t was
here he learned the life and lam
guage of the cowboys. When he
left the outfit he joined a Cali
fornia stock company and from
western stock companies he finally
drifted eastward until he hit
Broadway and then from the foot
lights to the Cooper-Hewitts was
but a step.
His first picture has already
been released and is called, "Oh,
Johnny" He is at work now on
his second, SANDY Burke of the

Mabel Normand needs no chauf-
fer for the little spin she takes in
"Peck's Bad Girl" her newest
Goldwyn picture, which comes to
Brotman's Rialto theatre Thursday,
for the star does her spinning on a
velOcipede, vehicle that gave her
much pleasure in her schooldays
and prompted the fibs she told her
teacher to excuse non-appearance
at sessions like those INDUCED in
by youths bent on seeing the open
ing baseball game. Attired in i
bingham dress and tam a'-shanter,
the Goldwyn star looked like a
child of 12 while riding down the
main street of the village erected
on the GoldWyn studio lot at Fort
Lee, n. j., for the production. The
little star is far from tall, but the
velocipede was intended for a child
of eight, judging by the way the
handle bar fiirts with the knees of
Mabel Peck Chats Miss Normand's
name in the play( at every turn of
the pedal. That Miss Normand en-
joyed the little ride was evident
from her remark to her chauffeur,
who stood by: Mark, there's more
fun in this than being jounced in
the limousine coming up those Fort
Lee hills to the studio"
