The mental effect of good furniture on the
minds of those who possess it has much to do with
home comforts has caused many young couples

homes to lose interest in "home" and seek diver

Home should be veritable haven of rest and
comfort. There, after hard days work, the
youthful husband or staid business man should re-

A Real Musical Star

Fancy President Poincare OF
France being film fan!
He's not only a film fan in gen.
eral, but a Mary Pickford fan in
particular. and Miss Pickford, whose
latest picture Capt. Kidd, Jr," be-
gins a weeks run at Loew's Palace
today. can prove 1t with docu-
mentary evidence.
Several weeks ago. NJ. William
Sandoz, head Of the Sandoz Com
mission to the United States for the
"Reformes Numero q" the vast army
of French soldiers who have been
incapacitated by illness contracted
in the trenches-the heroes with
out a halo" as they have been CALI
ed-made a request of Miss Pickford
for an autographed photograph of
herself and Mr.. Sandoz, in making
the request, specified that it was
being made on behalf Of President
Poincare. of France.
The request was made of Miss Pick
ford at time when Sandoz was
visiting the Pickford studio at Holly
wood, Cal. in company with a Los
Angeles theater man. Sandoz was
introduced to Miss Pickford at that
time and straightway framed his re-
quest.
ut is well known" said NJ. Sandoz,
that President Poincare is q motion
picture enthusiast and il is also well
known that he admires Miss Pick
ford most among American stars"
On receipt of the request for a
photograph, Miss Pickford selected
the best available photograph and
wrote this autograph:
ITO Mr.. Raymond Poincare, she
noble leader of our brave ally. Mary
Pickford."

In Carl Cochems. who will appear
here tonight with Sunshine" a new
musical comedy. at Polls, playgoers
of Washington will hear for the first
time one of the really great grand
opera stars. a singer who has achiev-
ed a phenomenal success, both in
this country and Europe.
For the last two years, Cochems has
been with the Chicago Opera Com
pany. singing most of the leading
basso roles with Sig. Campanini dur
ing that time. 1t was only after
making satisfactory arrangements
with the opera company that CO.
chem's services were obtained by the
producers of Sunshine" and even
then. the former still has a contract
with the star. which calls for three
performances In New York City next
season.
Mr.. Cochems has had a very in
teresting career from the time he
started his musical training as a
student of Herman Devries at the
Chicago Music College, where he
won the diamond medal. After that
Cochefns went to Arizona, where he
accepted a position to teach voice.
During his stay in the West he sang
for Henry Russell. at that time
manager Of the San Carlo Grand
Opera Company, and Alice Nelson.
1t was their admohitions that en-
couraged the young singer to go to
Italy, where he remained for ten
years. singing and studying all the
time.
At the expiration of this time he
accepted position as leading basso
with the Luna Opera Company to
sing in the Philippine Islands, and
during this trip he sang at Port Said
and other cities in Egypt.

Seatholder Plays
Big Part in Films

81 doubt IL the people who pay their
money for motion pictures realize the
part they unconsciously play in the
making of subjects for the screen"
said Charles Ray. the star of Creased
Lightning" which has its first WASH
ington showing at Loew's Columbia
today, during a recent interview.
Let US consider the stars. Who
makes photoplay stars? The produc-
ers? No; it is the film fans them
selves who make stars. A star cannot
be forced on the public, for the reason
that they will not support productions
featuring unpopular stars. This means
a howl from the exhibitor, and the
star seeks his place in the has been
class. .-.
Usually the star is at fault for not
studying his audiences. Every star
should know the tastes and dislikes of
the average theater audience. No
matter what the critics may say, the
audience is the court Of last resort.
For my part, one of my most diligent
jobs Is studying motion-picture audi
ences. / go to picture shows, not so
much to see pictures as to study the
erect OF tne picture on the audience.
Every bit Of comment hear I profit
by. The result ia an understanding
Of what they like about my work, and
the result is that play up to this
sentiment in pictures. When you lool,
around in a picture show and can't
follow the story on the faces of the
audience you have made 'fiivver.'
THE audiences are also chiefly re-
sponsible for the type of stories which
finds its way into the pictures. The
exhibitors carefully consider the
stories their audiences like best,
and the producers, in turn. care
fully consider the wants of the ex-
hibitor. The audience after all then
becomes chiefly responsible for the
excellence of both star and story
when the two are considered in the
aggregate"

Some Ingenuity

Ilict stills continue to be unedrth-
ed in the Ozarks of Missouri and
Arkansas, and about the most care
fully concealed one yet discovered
by revenue officers was found at
the home of Louis Kohler, a farmer,
near Paris, Okla. Kohler was ar
rested, but denied that he was con-
nected in any way with the opera
ton of the still. The officers elai m
that the plant has been running for
a period of six years, and that thou -
sands of gallons of moonshine
whiskey was turned out by the
operators during that time. The
revenue officers stumbled across
the still by the purest sort of an ac-
cident, as the men had it "camouflag-
ed" so perfectly that no one would
ever have suspected that a still was
about, and they also were ingenious
in devising an outlet for the smoke
of the furnace. Entrance into the
cellars was covered by a porch that
was attached to the house by means
of hinges. By lifting up the porch
the cellar could be entered, but un-
less the presence of the cellar was
known the appearance of the porch
would never have betrayed it. The
still was hung on a concrete founda-
ton and was equipped with a fiue
that was attached to a chimney
serving cook stove upstairs.

Sublimity of the Abstract

That President Wilson's program
was a little too good to be true is
now generally recognized.
And there is tendency in certain
quarters to question the wisdom OF
formulating the program. But to
do so is to question the wisdom OF
ever formulating any program.
The programs that are completely
fulfilled as a rule exist in theory
Hardly any plan ever materializes
in every detail. Which is q poor
justification for saying that plans
should never be made. 1t is tanta-
mount to saying that it is never any
use to try.
If the president had tried to do
less, he would not have done so
mucn. His ideals seen fantastic
but such ideas are beeded to balance
the materialism of Europe. 81
Heaven knows there are places
in Europe where they need idealists
and ideals. 1t is more than likely
that the president never expected
every feature of his program to be.
come a fact. But it is surprising
that so much of it has become SO
by implication, if not by specific
prescription.

Readers of the advertising pages

with the typical publicity display of
the correspondence school. It
generally contains illustration and
text. and the latter is often embel-
lished with notices and catchwords.

Fourth of july

About year ago the Fourth of
July was observed as a festival in
countries to which il had had no
previous significance. 1t was cele-
brated in France. 1t was even cele
brated in England.
II is a matter of record that it
was observed in England with even
more Dunctiliousness than in France.
In plain language, they made fuss
over it.
George v took an official part in
the ceremonies, and there were
services in cathedrals, and pyro
technics--both chemical and oratori-
cal. There was flag-wsvine, singing,
parading, and promiscuous demons
trating.
In this country considerable COM
ment was made upon the official
participation of George in the cere.
monies. Not that George counts
for much, either here or there; but
George is a remote descendant of
George III. whose personal humilia-
ton is commemorated in our nation
al festival.
BY what rule of logic George v
should be restrained from celebrat-
ing the humiliation of George iii is
difficult to grasp. George v is the
son of the son of the niece of the
brother of the son of George iii. He
is the flea on the tail of the dog of
the Wild Man of Borneo, so worthily
acclaimed in ancient vaudeville. If
the remote ancestor of cousin of
yours was hanged for horse-stealing,
that fact does not in any way COM
pei you to champion horse-thievine
as a polite diversion.
Representative government was
established as a precendent in Eng.
land in Cromwell's day-shortly
after the Pilgrim Fathers sailed
Only an accident prevented Crom-
well from emigrating later on. George
III. impregnated with autocratic
ideals by his German parents, tried
to stifle this Anglo Saxon instinct
both in England and in the colonies.
Contemporary literature proves that
public feeling in England was solidly
antagonistic to him.
On this continent the Illustration
of his purpose was quick and de-
cisive. In England it was gradual,
but complete. We may we'll unite
on both shores of the Atlantic in
celebrating this anniversary.
