Roosevelt Picture Still At Dixie
Tn Roosevelt picture continues to
decorate the Dixie screen. In some
sections where the Re til Riders, poll
tics made Inn many followers, esor'
nous crowds have seen It's play. In
other sections where he had more poll
tical enemiss than friends, the popu-
larity OF the picture has not been SO
marked. The fact, however, that his
share of the profits Of the pietute go
tos,the Red Cross to help the Amer
lean Boys who are yet in foreign

tional incentive to make one want to
see the picture whether he. was an, ad-
mirery,o of the great Teddy or not.
