BRITISH AUTO AMBITION.

A large British engineering COM
pany has announced its entry into
the field of motorcar production
with model which is openly re-
garded as an attempt to meet Am
erican competition. The company
hopes to put 10000 cars on the
market the first year. The car Is
of the 1920 horsepower, ive-pass-
enger type, and is to sell at ap-
prosimately $1,000.
There is no guarantee that the
makers of this car will be success
full in putting it on the market in
the quantity necessary to make the
price possible, nor that it will prove
satisfactory in service. Only one
car has been built for testing pur-
poses. II has been run almost 3d.
900 miles and IS reported to have
given a thoroughly satisfactory per-
Torrance
Information from leading Ameri-
can motorcar manufacturers leads
the National Foreign Trade Council
to believe that the manufacture of
this car at the price indicated is
extremely doubtful. Increased costs
of coal, steel, labor, etc, now rem
der it unlikely that such car can
be produced in England for less
than $4,000, at which price it will
not compete seriously with low
priced American cars, even consid-
ering the British import duties Of
50 Is percent. So far as countries
other than England are concerned,
il is even more certain that this car
will be unable 70 meet American
competition, and that such markets
as South America and South Africa
will turn more and more 70 the
United States for moderate priced
motorcars.

In connection with the bill recent

slider the growth of American ship

of the war. There are II firms

THE REAL BILL JONkSo
By FRANK BACON

I never really did believe that I could do it-get a play on Broad way, 1 mean-and if it hadn't been for Johnny Golden I wouldn't have had much of a chance, I guess. For thirty years have been cher ishing the idea of 'Iightnin' ," ever since I first saw his type in the navy yards of San Francisco. He was a quaint, lovable old fellow and the prototype of Lightnin' Bill Jones. i Day after day he would sit and spin ] tall yarns to the delight of the boys 1 who used to forget to snicker at him
 under the spell the old fraud knew so well how to weave about their youthful imaginatiOns I was play ing in amateur thearicals then and thought what a marvellous charac- ter he would make on the stage, Soon after that I went on the profes- SiOnal stage and acted all sorts of parts among them many old men But none of them were as delight ful as the old fellow I had grown fond of years before.
 Through all the seasons of stock work that l did, I never forget this i character. I dreamed of seeing him on the stage. I began to make notes of things he might say and do Lit I tie by little these notes amassed. So ] planned out the play In four acts
 and added to it nearly every day through the years. Also I may admit j that I decreased it at intervals be re-
 moving whole pages and consigning
 them to the fire
 When I came East for the first 1 time from California, having been shaken out of my rut there by the ! earthquake, I met Winchel Smith, ! who gave me a part in his ''The For ] tune Hunter" I tried to tell him i about ''Lightnin',' but he was toe i busy to listen. So for three or four more seasons I carried the manus- cript about with me while I played : The Miracle Man and "The Gin derella Man"
 One day I became desperate. realized how the years had slipped ! by leaving me with my play unpro- duced. I took courage in both hands and went to see John Golden, Win
 chen Smiths partner. I told him the
 idea of the play and he seemed in. terested- He asked 10 read the manu-
 cript. Trembling with excitement,
 gave it to him.
 You've got something here, Frank
 he told me. If Winchen Smith il
 write it for you and put in some tech
 nique and action, I think it ought tt
 be great success"
 MT. Smith was still busy. But ht
 listened to his partner and consented to go to work at once. While he wa:
 flXlng It up I went with one of tht . 1Irnl Turn to the Right companies and played all the cantonnents b7 : way of getting my mind off the pla7 | as well as doing my bit for the bows When l came back we began rehear
 sals. The play opened out of town ; The town seemed to like it. I bega, :; to hope more and more for Broad way.
 Everybody knows the rest Broad way seems to be coming in grea numbers to see it. And as for me
 well, I have attained the dream of
 lifetime. I'm a playwright on Broad l way at last

JOHN GOLDEN
 UNIQUE CHARACTER

John Golden, player. composer, au- thor and producer is a unique char acter; typical American in applica- ton and purpose; endowed with a personality of forcefuI domination, and imbued with a spirit or perse verance which he injects into all of his activities.
 At the beginning of his career as a briclIayer, in the construction of the Harrigan Theatre, New Yrok, he became innocuIated with the thespian virus and abandoned the trowel and plumb line for the sock and bus kin.
 As an actor he supported Marie Wainwright in the classic drama, Street Theatre and danced in Tray ersty at the Herald Square.
 He then invaded the ranks of jour nalism. contributing verse to Truth, '' Life Puck and "Judge'-then he commenced writing musical comedies; among his successful ef- fusions were: ''The Hoyden," The Forward March,.
 Four years ago he formed a the atricaI production partnership with Candy Shop.'' ''Over the River and W WlnCneI SllllLu, presenting urn 10 the Right now on it's third year of prosperity: "Lightnin' '' with Frank Bacon. now playing in it's second year at the Gaiety Theatre, New York, and Three Wise Fools" now playing at the Fremont Theatre. Boston.
 Last month MT. Smith abandoned the managerial field to devote his entire time to playwriting, thus hand ing the reins of theatrical activity over to his able and versa tile part ner.
 During leisure moments and as a pastime he composed the following popular songs, You Can't Play Every Instrument in the Band,' q Can Dance with Everyone but My Wife, Goodbye, Girls, I'm Through and Poor Butterfly" Whenever 2 play, a poem or a song bears the i'm print of John Golden. it is an assur. ance of it's success. Golden has never had a failure, or been a failure 1T anything.

 Now and then we hear of a motion picture that is different Many times we have viewed that sort of play but-and then comes the fatal but, '' more often we are disappointed.
 The other day a friend of ours said, Let us go into the Broadway theatre and see the Mystery of the Yellow Room" Work at the studio being held up and not having any thing more to do that day I went.
 And I sure was delighted I did see Tlat master mystery play.
 From start to finish the picture held the entire audience spellbound. The story was familiar to many of the spectators but the way the pie ture was staged and the continuity was written drew the feature entirely out of he beaten track of mystery plays and put it at the top of any thing in that line ever before offered to the public.
 Too much cannot be said of the stars although the picture is so good that it requires no big billing of stars) the players and the producer. Thrills, surprises, amazing climax es and many additional dramatic ef- fects and screen and stage tricks make '"The Mystery Of the Yellow Room stand out prOminently-in fact make it a. picture that one does not easily forget.
 Realart, which I believe is the dis tributing exchange handling the pie ture should have every exhibitor in every town and city throughout the country featuring this mystery play as it is a play that will appeal to and entertain all lovers of the motion picture.

 Filmdon but We sure did enjoy The
 Mystery of the Yellow Room and I
 am sure that if two-thirds of the
 photop1ay going public enjoy nnys-
 tery plays the other third after wit
 messing this masterly production will
 enjoy it as much as those who see
 mystery pictures, read mystery stor-
 ies and delight in mystery plays.
 All of the thrills that turk in the pages of The Mystery of the Yellow Room have been caught for the screen by Emil Chautard. It is one of those novels by Gaston LerouX- the kinds that were bound in pale yellow paper and that keep you awake burning the midnight oil un- til you discovered who murdered the masked madman. Thrills of this sort are difficult thing to repro duce on the screen and most of the credit for this excellent melodrama is due to the direction of Chautard who has kept all the eerie suspense of the novel. Evidently it takes a F'renchman to serve up French melo- drama. and in this case two French heads were better than one.
 The mystery centres about the disappearance of d sinister, shroud- ed figure who has entered the yellow 1 room, attacked and robbed it's oc- i cupants and vanished into thin air Of course the principal victim is beautiful young woman-trust a | French plot for that! The detec- tives are led astray by countless false Iclues-the bloodstains, the foot ] prints. Just when all their sIeuthing
 seems most futile the mystery is cleared by a boy reporter.
