something entirely new in the publiciz-
ing of quality pictures has been de-
signed.
First an exhaustive survey of the
newspaper field was made, not only
from the viewpoint of circulation. but
that of influence and standing in the
community, as well. Supplementing this
information detailed reports were re-
ceived from the Goldwyn branches, in
which the branch managers pointed
out the weak spots in their territories
and suggested what appeared to be the
best way of, pemedying them, Ex-
hibitors have been invited to cooper
ate in mapping out the field. These
reports in combination with the news
paper statistics compiled from other
sources. proved of the greatest value
in making the final selection of pub

sage. All of the advertising is de-
signed for large space, and copy will
be prepared to meet the particular
needs of the moment as they exist for
an exhibitor.
The Topeka State Journal is one
of the publications chosen in this big
selective campaign to carry Goldwyn's
advertising. The first ad in this drive

The most important news of the drama
this day seems to be that "The Boom
erang," produced By Mr.. David BelascO,
caused rather a wild night last evening at
the Grand. The players are excellent. the
story intellfgently told, the settings befit-
ting, the smart scomedy plot cheerful and
becoming and unusually inoffensive, and
the audience vociferous in its affirmations
of pleasure.
You will go far to find n more skillful.
sauve Intervening of close-knit farce and
smart nonsense than in 1.-The Boomerang"
However, the first act of the play gives the
impression of dragging a trifle, this, pro;
badly, is n matter of contrast. 1t would
be difficult indeed, to keep up the pace of
the second and third acts for an entire
evening. In any case, it's not the fault
of the players. With no exceptions, the
major roles, the players seem to melt into
their roles as If they were made for them,
doing what they are given to do expertly
and with the utmost high spirits. It's a
fairly even balanced cast of fun-makers,
and Mr.. Belasco, who picked them. should
have a croix de guerre, if there's nothing
else at hand more appropriate.
Taking the players as they appear on the
program, there are to be considered:

Geneva, Dec. 11.-Restoration of

former Emperor Charles, speaking

General Miles Urges Drastic
Action Against Bolsheuikii
(By Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, April 3.-Drastic
action by congress to check the
alarming spread Of Bolshevik doc
trincs in this country was urged by
Lieutenant General Nelson A Miles,
retired. in an address here last night
before the Loyal Legion. The speak
er declared the safety Of the nation
demanded quick and effective action
and unless steps were taken to pre-
vent the spread Of the "red peril"
thecountry would soon be in the
throes Of revolution and anarchy.
Congress. he said, should prohibit the
kind of free speech that breathes
treason and the kind Of personal I'D
erty which means the destruction Of
law and order"
General Miles expressed the opin-
ion, however, that the vast army Of
American soldiers who went overseas
would help check to a large extent
the attempt to spread Bolshevism in
this country and thus prevent the gov
ernmept from being overthrown by
"long haired men and short haired
women"
