There's one woman in New York
who spent four weeks learning to
ASide horseback and she thinks it's
about the meanest job one can
bave This woman is Jean Acker,
a we'll known actress who appears
in the screen version Of Check
ers," the big racing play to be pre-
scented by William Fox at the Ma
jestic theatre tonight. Miss Acker
knows something about riding a
horse. but in the picture she is seen
riding a race horse in a regular
race. Richard Stanton. who direct
ed the production, suggested that
she brush up on her riding-and
she followed his advice.
For four weeks Miss Acker rode
q spirited animal in Central park,
New York She was thrown sew
eral times. and was hurt, but she
stuck to her task. She emerged
from her schooling with many
bruises. but she had accomplished
her purpose.
When it came time to film the
racing scene Miss Acker rode with
the apparent experience Of a we'll
seasoned jockey.

The actress has been criticized
for making "Tish" too tailor-made
but somehow she fits in just right
in the role and one foFgets her
clothing and thinks of her just as
she is depicted in the fish stories.
Aggie is about as long and thin
and angular and comical as any
one could possibly be and her at
tempts to talk after she had lost
her teeth brought down the house
with roars of laughter. Lizzie, fat
and round and kiddish did not
quite fit the character as one is
used to imagining from the fish
stories, but she acted we'll and
helped with the fun. In fact the
parts are all well cast and those
who missed seeing "Tish" last
evening should not fail TO see the
play tonight if they want an even
ing of solid fun, with just enough
of the other to accentuate the hu

At the Black Hawk.

Much of the story of her own
career is reproduced in a Woman
~of Impulse" the splendid Para
mount photoplay starring Nine.
Lima Cavalieri. the famous singer
and beauty. which will be shown
at the Black Hawk theatre tonight.
This picture is said to provide the
celebrated diva with n role far
more dramatic and interesting than
those she essayed in her recent
picture successes The Eternal
Temptress" and Loves Conquest -
which scored so notably in all
parts Of the country.
Nine. Cavalieri was a poor girl
in Rome when the development of
her rich vocal powers opened the
door of fortune to her. Within a
few years she became the idol of
Europe and her beauty, as we'll as
her remarkable voice, made her
one Of the most sought after pro-
fessionals in the history of the
stage. Wherever she sang she took
the public by storm and her sue
cess was phenomenal.
In her latest photoplay. Nine.
Cavalieri appears as Leonora, the
daughter of a poor lace maker
whose marvellous voice attracts the
attention of a wealthy American
who gives her a home in his fam
lily and defrays the expenses Of
her musical education. She soon
becomes famous and later weds
Count NeTval. q Spaniard, who is
extremely Jealous of her. A young
American enters her life with the
result that although innocent. she
ia estranged from her husband. A
tragedy then clouds her career. but
she is finally restored to happiness
and her husbands love.

Published originally as novel
in Munseys magazine. written by
Frank L. Packard and later dram
affixed by George NJ COhan and
presented with phenomenal sue
cess on Broadway, the Paramount
Aircraft picture, The Miracle
Man" booked at the Spencer
Square for the balance of the week.
AS a motion picture this absorbing
story has been hailed by the critics
as one of the finest productions
ever seen on the screen. With
scenes laid IN the haunts OF GRIM
inals in New Yo~k's Chinatown. in
a little village on the side of a
giant mountain and on the shore
OF q roaring ocean. the oppOrtun-
fly for wonderful Photographic ef-
fects has been realized to the
limit.
But the chief interest is in the
striking story, which centers about
the venerable figure of an old
patriarch. who IS credited with the
power to heal the sick and make
crippled limbs whole again, To
him come Tom Burke and his band
OF crooks from New York's China
town with the idea Of cashing in on
his powers But it doesn't work
out as they calculated, for hidden
away in each of them is a leaven of
good, which slowly comes to the
surface under the influence of
their wholesome environment. In
a most marvellous way the GRIMM
ais are reclaimed from the paths
of crime.

With great outbursts Of cheers his

Saws British Revues
Are Only Travelling
Harems in Disguise

London, Oct. At would seem
almost as if these procurers deliber-
ately connive at forming travelling
harems rather than legitimate the
atrical touring companies, either for
their own vicious ends or for those
Of the parasites who cling to then"
This startling indictment of GER
tain class of theatrical productions
is made in the September number
of the official organ of the Actors
association, the Actor.
These iniquitous practices, known
as the white slave traffic, exist more
particularly in the worst type of
touring revue companies" adds the
Actor, "and they are carried on in
the provinces by individuals who cali
themselves theatrical managers.
"A meeting Of the association has
been convened to discuss situa-
ton on which it is by no means
pleasant to comment"
Every reputable theatrical firm
pays all members of its companies
a living wage" said Mr.. Edward
Marris, superintendent Of produce
tons for Mr.. Albert de Courville, to
an International News Service cor
respondent.
"All members of one company re-
ceive 4 minimum of SIS a week.
Travelling expenses are paid and all
costumes provided.
Can't Control Morals.
"Of course, no employer of large
number Of women can possibly con-
troll the morals Of his employees, but
to say that every touring company
is a travelling harem is merely an in
suit to the girls themselves.
Mr.. Edward Laurmard, a promi-
nent manager, expressed his agree
ment with Mr.. Marris' remarks, and
added:
unfortunately, many disreputable
people entered the theatrical pro-
fession during the war, and this fact
is undoubtedly responsible for some
OF the severe comments which have
been made"

Los Angeles, Cal. Oct. witt
all the vigor Of his dynamic per-
sonality, Senator Hiram w. John
son went before the people of this
city today and brought thousand:
OF his hearers to their feet in q
wild tumult Of cheering over his
militant message of Americanism
He preached the call for America
against the the miserable, n1alo.
dorous caldron Of sinister and Sc.
cret diplomacy Of European imper'
ialism."
He was spurred by word which
had gone forth that here on his Cal
ifornia and Pacific tour he should
find solidifed by President Wilson
sentiment virtually unanimous
for the league OF nations.
Johnson likes fight. He is best
when the battle is on. So he came
to this southern city primed and
keyed to top pitch. And the people
heard him with an enthusiasm which
was not surpassed even in San
Francisco, where he was acclaimed
to the last word by responsive in
terest. =
Men and Women Weep.
Mis- speeches today, including that
at a big mass meeting at night, were
vibrant with the doctrine of a
real American. He ran the gamut
Of intense patriotism in a vein
which touched not only the highest
quality Of oratory, but carried with
it in all Of its intensity the words
Of emotional appeal that caused men
to weep and women to bow their
heads In prayerful response.
Johnson was greeted by a mass
Of cheering people at the depot. He
was escorted up town by cavalvade
Of automobiles. He was met at his
hotel by delegation from the
League for the Preservation of
American Independence. He spoke
before two large audiences, equal to
those addressed by President Will
son here, and declared by reliable
observers to have been greater in
the enthusiasm Of the presidents re-
ception.
The insiders, watching from some
Of the angles, reported tonight that
Johnson had not only broken into
the league of nations following here
but had established a tremendous
public concern which hitherto had
been somewhat dormant as to the
argument against the acceptance of
the covenant in its existing form.
Johnson Captured City.
Many who attended the meetings
proclaimed that Johnson's speeches
captured the city.
Among those who appeared as
his supporters were former U. S.

Chief Eberstein stated there were
rumors of cowardice among certain
members of the police department.
He defended Capt. Henry Haze by
stating that he was with the captain
upstairs of the court house during
the thrilling scenes of the night, and
that the captain shot all Of the am

and I believe that the matter of a
new chief should be left to the new
commissioner of police.
II believe if M. F. Dempsey
or Henry Dunn, former chiefs Of
police, had been in command last
Sunday, the riot would not have
occurred. There was no leadership
last Sunday. 1t is my opinion that
we should await the return OF
Mayor Smith to the city hall before
making the proposed changes"
A division of opinion is material
izing among the leaders Of the So
called Ringer-Elmer Thomas-Rob-
ert Smith element. Robert Smith
and Elmer Thomas, who have been
close to Commissioner Ringer, are
not agreed on what should be done.
Mr.. Smith believes that reorgan-

stand-pat policy on the part Of
the present Ringer police admins
