THEDA cara IN HER MOST Sc
DUCTIVE ROLE
Cleopatra, the Climax of the Siren
Sta, to be Shown in Tall
iulah Next Week

Glad in the robes of regal richness,
seated in the midst of canopied es-
tate, clasping to her bosom a twining
asp, Egypt's greatest Queen, Cleo
patra, the last of the Ptolemys, ex-
pired. q.
his is what Theda' Bara did for
Cleopatra" the Fox wonder film,
and it is but one of the number of
features of similar calibre in which
this famous screen actress is starred.
Cleopatra" is the greatest and most
suitable character for the display Of
the talents Of this rare star.
Never in her life has Miss cara en-
tered so earnestly into a character
ization as she has into cleopatra. :"
Not content with the mere casual
and superficial study of the charac-
ter, Miss Bara has delved into ali the
historical records at her command, in
regard to the savagely-imperious,
magically-alluring Queen about whom
controversy has ragged during all the
centuries since she lived.
Prior to coming to California, Miss
6ara made a detailed personal study
of the wonderful Egyptian exhibit in
the Museum of Art in New York City.
Here is, perhaps, the greatest COL
lection of the kind in the world, and
the world, and the Fox star lost no
opportunity to thoroughly Undue her
self with the atmosphere of the past,
which the strange carvings, the num-
:liess, and the >hierogiyphics suggest.
AtiSs Ezra, by thorough study, has
succeeded in resurrecting many for
gotten and obscure traits Of charac-
ter of the famous Queen, and por
trays them upon the screen with q
vividness and intensity that has never
before been expressed even by the
famous vampire herself.
One of the Striking features OF the |
making Of Cleopatra" is the remark |
able costumes. A. positively startling
o:t OF garb peacock dress, IN TIE
mating of which whole peacock was
used. This is only one Of the geor-
geous and expensive costumes Miss
Kar@ wears in the picture.
We are glad to be able to saw thai
the management of the local picture
lre show has been able to get this re-
show, and it will be pre.
sented at the Lyric Theatre on rex.

looking Back

AtColumbus, President Wilson asked
II any one believed that Germany would
have gone 10 war il Germany had
known that Great Britain would fight;
and he added that certainly Germany
would not have started the war il she
had believed that America would fight.
This was used as an argument Tor the
league Of nations, backed by force,
while at the same time the president is
telling others tina, there is none other
than moral force behind il. The truth
Of the matter is that Germany learned
that Great Britain would fight. Lord
Gray made that plain. Yet Germany
went in. The first public utterance
that can be found on the part ot Mr.
Wilson concerning Americas attitude
toward the war was in an addess to con
gress about four months alter the war
had begun, in which he boosted that
we are at peace with all the world, .
We mean 10 live our own lives as we
will; but we mena also TO let live,
And month later he murmured to the
good people Of indianapolis: Only
America at peacel Among all the
great powers Of the world only America
saving her power for her own people!'
Germany must have got some sort oI
an idea that America didn't have the
nerve to 90 10 war alter that sort oI
talk, and more especially so, when one
week after the sinking Of the Lusitania,
Germany was informed We were TO
proud 10 fight" Il will be curious to
learn, as reports filter thru the mass ol
press agent material now being hurled
into the Administration newspaper col
umns, just how far the American peo'
pie Of today permitted themselves to be
blarneyed By gentleman who has
twice fooled them TO the limi. Of the
ridiculous. But we will lay odds tina,
Lincoln was right and that this time
Barnum's assertion will not prove

Senator Reed on the League

Oklahoma City, Okla. Sept. 80.
Quoting from pre- e'war and later
speeches Of President Wilson. Senator
Reed, speaking tonight in opposition
to the league oi nations, said the presi'
dent had reversed his own opinions in
order to support the proposal.
THE American people have been led
generally to believe that the league is
formed for our benefit and that its pur-
pose is to keep America out oi war"
said Senator Reed. "As a matter oil
fact, the league is formed for the bene
fit Of other nations and is TO be main
tanned largely at the expense oi the
American people"
The president convinced himself that
It Is the business oil American states

Of humanity, he asserted. Referring to
Mr.. Wilson's remark at Reno, during
his recent tour, that he wanted to gel
into any kind Of trouble that would lib
crate mankind, and do no. want to BE-
always thinking about my skin or my
pocketbook or my iriendships," the
senator said;

What does the United States gain from

Roosevelt on Athletics

This is the time Of year when the
thoughts OF our young people are turned
TO athletic spoTts--now especially al
at the opening OF the school year are
college men turning their attention 10
foot ball. Athletics are to a large
degree predominant over the literary
pursuits.
Theodore Roosevelt had clear vision
oil what the wellrounded ran should
be. In a letter 10 his eldest son, then
in college, he wrote:
l am delighted to have you play loot
ball, believe in rough, manly sports.
But do not believe in them il they
degenerate into the sole end Of ones
existence. Idon't want you 10 acrifce
standing we'll in your studies 10 any
over'athleticism, and need not tell
you that character counts ior a great
deal more than either intellect or body
in winning snccess in life. Athletic
proficiency is mighty good servant,
and, like so many other good servants,
a mighty bad master. Did you ever

he speaks OF its being advisable to keep

should be very sorry il you did not do
