"Paid in Full" Thursday.


''Paid in Full" as you doubtless know,
is one of the most successful American
dramas, written by Eugene Walter. After
its success in New York, it toured the
country, repeating everywhere its New
York triumph. Doubtless, you saw 1t on
the stage If you did, we won't have to
urge you to come and see it on the screen
with Pauline Frederick. If you didn't see
it, let us tell you of it's central situation.
Emma is the wife of Joe Brooks, mo-
rose clerk in the employ of Captain Will
liams, ship chandler. Joe takes ad-
vantage of trip of Captain Williams to
South America, and steals some money,
covering up the defalcation by manipu-
lating the books. From a cheap Hat the
Brooks move to luxurious apartment.
Emma is ignorant of the reason for the
sudden prosperity. Then Williams comes
back and discovers the theft. Joe realize
that his game is up He knows that Will
liams is fond of Emma, and that offers to
him the way out. CO." he says to En-
ma, "and fix it up with Williamsburg
way you can.
The developing situation is one of the
most dramatic ever conceived.

Geraldine Farrar, Friday.

Geraldine Farrar proves her right to be
called the star of stars in "The He'll
Cat" newest of her Goldwyn Pictures
Rarely has she been provided with a
more colorful, dramatic role. Never has
she been enabled to acquit herself so
magnificently in thoroughly modern
environment
Though the entire production was
made in the heart of Wyoming's Rock
les, THE He'll Cat' in no sense is con-
ventional "Western" drama. Replete
with color and movement, the ranch at
mosphere is merely background for an
uncommonly strong clash of Wills The
characters are swayed by punitive emo
tons and impulses, and in the freedom of
the superb mountain vistas the drama is
played sweepingly and without restraint.
Geraldine Farrar is Pancha O'Brien,
half Spanish and half Irish, with all the
contradictions this mixture implies. She
is a woman of impulse, who loves arc
hates with equal vehemence and who
moves through the scenes of "The Hell
Cat' pulsing, glowing figure
Don't fail to see "The He'll Cat" Fri
day.

The story is thrilling one of Oriental
love and hate-depicting the two strong
est motives in these fiery and passionate
people of the East-where human life
means nothing in comparison with
traditional inheritance.

born and bred in the desert, falls in love
with a French Naval officer whom she
helps to escape from her tribe who intend
to kill him. This brings the wrath of
her people directly on the head of the
girl and she is left to die in the blazing
desert. The story is one of passionate
hate and passionate love, and is more en-
trancing than any tale ever told. Be sure

mendous production.

Capt. Chiles was decorated for con-

SETTLEMENT FRONTIER CUES.

TER OF STAGE.
SITUATION IS DELICATE
COMMITTEE OF FOUR LABORlNo
HARD FOR SOLUTION OF
BIG ISSUE.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Paris, April president Wilson
and Premiers Lloyd George, Clemen-
ceau and Orlando continued their dis
cussion at President Wilson's resi-
dence. Other peace conference or
CARNATIONS also met. All the confer
ences tended TO unravel the tangled
Issues still standing in the way of
peace.
The meetings proceeded amid an
other wave of apprehension spreading
through the conference over lack Of
any tangible results after the council
of four had labored continuously for
ten days.
This was accompanied by we'll
founded reports from those close in
touch with the council of four show
ing that the situation, while not des-
perate, was at least serious because
OF radical differences on some funda-
mentals in the settlement of Ger
many's western, the Franco-German
and the eastern Polish frontiers.
One of the American experts who
Is constantly being consulted on ques-
lions before the council, gives the fol-
lowing glimpses of what is going on
behind the scenes:
"The situation is extremely difficult,
particularly as regards the western
frontier of Germany.
president Wilson, in cOncilatOry
spirit, has been willing to do most
anything to assure French security
short of the qualification of engage
mems made at the time of the armis-
tice.
1.-THE French have been assured Of
every military protection along the
Rhine and for fifty kilometers east Of
that river, even to the extent Of con-
sidering that any military activity in
that section shall be looked upon as a
hostile act.
But this is not considered enough,
and additional claims lead to the con-
viction that they are open to construc-
ton as meaning something more than
military security and verging on terri
torial control.
1.-THE President is not willing to go
that far In creating more AlsaceLOr-
raine situations, and it is this stand
against these claims which is causing
the delays until some middle ground
is found"
As means of finding the middle
ground" on the Rhine controversy the
Superior Council of four created a
consulting body consisting of Andre
Tardieu, French; Charles II. Haskins,
American, and Viscount Morley, Brit
ish. To intimates they were not opti-
mistic on the progress that is being
made.
