MOTION PICTURE
WAR IN TEXAS

The Motion Picture News this week
says:
Millions OF dollars are being thrown
in to a frenzied orgy of theatre buying
and building, and thousands of dollars
are being used in advertising space in
battle of business giants for the film SUI
premacy of the southwest. S. A. Lynch,
who already owns scores of theatres in
the southeast, is daily adding to his hold
ings in the southwest; he is building a
$4,000 theatre in Dallas, in Waco he
has bought three houses outright; In
Houston he purchased the Liberty, the
largest theatre in that city, and is re-
ported to have options on two ground
sites of 10000 each in Houston ana
San Antonio in addition.
On the other hand, leading exhib-
itors in the cities named, and in others
where Lynch will probably invade, have
banded together. and in a round robin
through the medium of a page ad in
Texas and Oklahoma newspapers have
announced that they are in the market
to purchase theatre property in Texas,
Oklahoma and Arkansas. Scores OF
scouts are daily making the rounds of
the big towns in the territory named,
and, be it known there are IS towns in
Texas alone with more than 10000 in
habitants.

Just when London newspaper dramatic
critics are welding a slashing pen pro-
testing against the invasion of Great
Britain by American actors and actresses
Cyril Mauds publicly declares that Amer
lea is the greatest friend OF all for the
British actor.
Mr.. Maude left America several weeks
ago, but only a few days ago he con-
scented to be interviewed by the London
representative of the Billboard, and two
characteristics that are usually charged
to Americans j. e.-boastfulness and
dislike for England, Mr.. Maude claims
he never encountered during his stay in
America.
Continuing, Mr.. Maude said:
II think that every actor or actress
going out to America from Great Britain
has tremendous scope for cementing the
present enormously cordial feeling be-
tween the two natgNls, as they 1robabi
will be the only English people met with
at many of the towns visited, so iSolat ted

result of the war America is suffering
badly from the lack of immigrants, anc
the servant problem is becoming ex-
tremely serious. The more successful you
are in America the more you have to

Although advertising stunts are strictly
prohibited in street parades in Denver
Manager Ellison of the Rialto and Prin-
cess theatres in that city had an impos-
ing float in the huge Labor day parade.
1t happened this way: Mr.. Ellison had
a float on the streets that morning ad-
vertising 1.-THE Witness for the Defense.
An ex-soldier was driving the float with
orders to trail the parade.
Seeing an opening between a band
and a labor organization, the ex-soldier
horned his way in. Whats the use IN

that caused an American onicer 1T

TRY THRIFT
BY Jean Prescott Adams

by Jean prescott Adams
Thousands of anxious and conscien-
tious home makers write in to our de-
partment, asking ways and means for
economizing, and yet there are many
selves to grow extravagant and wasteful
since the burden and strafe of war have
been lifted.
A few good old fashioned virtues ought
to be impressed upon all of us, and es-
pecially upon the rising generation. One
is thrift and another is the effort to
save the pennies and let the dollars
take care of themselves" This latter
sounds trite, but it is a wonderful fact
that most of the celebrated multi-million-
them to accumulate their first thousand
dollars. 1t is the continual drain of a
few cents here and a little there, for
useless purchases, that makes us ex-
claim, why, l broke a ten-dollar bill
yesterday and not nickel remains, yet
l did not buy anything worth while, nor
pay any bill" If We watch and deny
ourselves every passing whim that is not
the expression of some real need, we will
be amazed at the amount of money
saved for the vital necessities.
Then too, are not we modern women
pretty lazy, as compared with our
grandmothers, who spun and wove and
baked and brewed, and made candies
and knitted socks, and were cooks, tall
ors and dressmakers? / heard a girl ex-
claim today, Catch me washing out my
husbands silk shirt; not for any man
on EARTH" Why should she not do this
dainty bit of labor, to save a fine gar
ment and economic for one who works
daily to earn their income? If the spirit
of thrift and desire to economic were
more general, surely we as a nation

ing of THE Eagles Mate" proved one
of the most virile offerings this famous
little actress has given to the screen
The story is laid in the hills of Vir-

The play brings in the aristocracy OF

tense situations, and all are handled in
an exceptional manner.
1t will be repeated today and should

A PRACTICAL SHOWER PRESENT

Sue hung up the receiver with conster-

wife awaits with terror had fallen-the
announcement of the first unexpected
guest.
Jim Cartwright, fraternity brother
of mine back from overseas, has just hit
town. Well be out in about an hour and

Sue walked out into the kitchen medi-
tatively, and then she clapped her hands
joyfully, as her eyes scanned the top
shelf of her pantry, where in orderly ar
ray was one of her shower presents.
THAT blessed Madge," she murmured,
for the shelf was the result of a shower,
which Madge Mcpherson had given for
her. 1t was an emergency shelf shower
to which each person had brought food

When Lieutenant James Cartwright

She visits a woman friend who, with
her husband, is entertaining an I'M
scrupulous young man.
The four attend New Years Eve
celebration in a fashionable dining resort
and screen critics are said to have de-
clared that this was the most elaborately
staged scene of revel ever produced in
motion pictures. 1t is here that the young
girl meets the quiet brother of the
ne'er-do-well she is accompanying.
The good brother is worried about
whether his brother took good care OF
the girl and calls on him. In self defense
the brother tells him that the girl visited
him in his rom, but that he repulsed her.
During the quarrel which followed be-
tween the two brothers the good brother
is blinded. -

that he would not know that his nurse
was the kind of a nurse that would at
tend such lively cabaret parties. They
grow to love each other. When the
erring brother is caught by the girl
trying to rob her patient she persuades
him to go to France with the army and
make a man of himself. He does this
and is killed over there.
When the operation is performed on the
eyes of her patient he wants to see the
nurse who he has proposed to. And he
curses her. AS she leaves the house
she learns of the death of his brother
in France and returns to him. But in the
meantime the errng brother or his
ghost has visited him and vindicates her
