"AH right wen kait"


The relatives of a very rich man
were told by the physician that he
could not live long. HE may pass
away any minute" the doctor said.
and so the cousins decided to wait
until their relatives final breath
which would place his entire fortune
at their disposal.
But the doctor was a wise man; at
least, that's what his fellow medical
students told him when he went to
sollege, and he secures the aid of a
chorus girl who impersonates the
sick mans granddaughter.
Much to the disgust of the three
cousins the old man is brought back
to health by the tender care of the
actress. who proves in the end to be
the wife of the rich mans grandson
whom he had threatened to disinherit.
Many plans to get rid of the chorus
girl are made by The Committee Of
Three" but, somehow or other, all of
them go under, and in the end the
grandson is forgiven by his grand
father.
It's all in Olive Thomas latest
photoplay, The Follies Girl" at
Loew's Columbia until Wednesday.
Added to the Columbia's program
this week is a side splitting Vitagraph
comedy, with an educational and news
pictorial thrown in.

William s. Hart m New
Role at the Apollo.

That it is the William S. Hart per-
sonality and his complete command
of character delineation. and not the
picturesqueness OF the cowboy cos
tunes he has been accustomed to
wear, that accounts for the extraor-
binary popularity of this virile star,
was demonstrated yesterday at Gram
daIPs Apollo Theater, where for the
first two days of the week the fea-
ture of the photoplay bill is THE
Poppy Girls Husband" in which Hart
is pictured in the central role.
The chief figure in THE Poppy
Girls Husband is a criminal, SEN
fenced to prison for a term of ten
years, who never loses his love for
or his faith in the wife he was forced
to leave at home. The portrayal of
this deniZen of San FTancisco's ia
nous Barbary Coast offered by the
star is one OF the genuinely impress
siye things he has done for the
screen. In the supporting company
Juanita Hansen, a star of many splen-
did pictures in her own right, con
tributes probably the most appealing
and most infinitely drawn character
ization OF any member OF the cast.

ensues as the result of the Northerner

it is finally discovered the four SER

munity. He volunteers to secure the
funds to buy the island, but it does
not prove as easy as he imagined it
would. Finally, when the colonists
arrive at Ventura with Norman as
their comrade chief, they soon become
dissatisfied with everything. They are
not willing to work and dissension
spreads throughout the island. Mean
while, Norman has fallen in love with
Barbara Bozenta, a beautiful girl who
has devoted her life to the spreading
of socialism. Socialism becomes
bolshevism and license rules the

cape and the saving of the island by
American sailors gives this absorb

which the British grand fleet, short
Of cruisers and destroyers, and with
defenseless bases, was exposed dur
ing the first two and one-half years
of the war owing to the German use
of submarines, mines and torpedoes,

ed today covering the activities OF

Admiral Jellicoe points out that
the German high seas feet possessed
So destroyers compared with AZ for
the grand feet, and reveals that
owing to the submarine menace the
grand feet in the fall of 1914 moved
from Loughswilly, returning to the
North Sea only when the anchorage
In Scapa Flow became reasonably
safe.
Neither in October, 1914. nor in
May, 1915, Admiral Jellicoe says. did
the British margin of superiority JUS
tify him in dsregarding the enemy
torpedo fire. The situation gradually
improved after 1915, especially as the
light cruiser and destroyer forces with
the grand fleet increased steadily after
the battle of Jutland, considerably re-
ducing the danger of successful torpe-
do attack, while the inclusion of class
K submarines made it probable that
the enemy would suffer more severely
from submarine attack than the
British. Regarding 1918. Admiral
Jellicoe says:
THE position was assured and we
could have afforded to take risks
which in 1916 would have been most
unwise. If The German feet had come
out to battle, a terrible punishment
awaited them" ~

FILE INCOME
REPORT, PERHAPS

Washington, Feb. 13-Although no
general extension of time for filing
income tax returns will be authorized,
Commissioner Roper announced last
night that corporations which cannot
complete returns by March Is will be
permitted to return the estimated tax
and make a revised return within
forty-five days. 1t was explained that
by this plan the government would be
able to collect the approximate in
stallment due next month to meet its
urgent needs and corporations actual
ly needing an extension of time would
in effect receive it.
Taxpayers will not be relieved of
interest on the difference between
what they pay and the amount of the
tax found later to be due. If the in
stallment due March Is is greater
than shown by the completed return,
the excess will be credited to the next
payment.

payer" said Commissioner Roper, sis
that it relieves him of II of l per

blanks for corporations and a state
ment in writing of the reasons why 1t

mittance.
