.LLOYD-CEORCE
ANSWERS CRITICS
Situation Still Full of Perils-
Warns Against Intervention
In Russia

London, April 16-Bulletin-
Replying in the House of Com
mons to previous criticisms of his
activities at the peace conference
Premier Lloyd-George said the
situation was still full of perils
for the allied countries. He
pleaded that those who were try
ing to do thier best should be let
alone.
Premier Lloyd-George asserted
that no conference in history fac
ed problems of such variety, COM
plexity, magnitude and gravity.
He deprecated the attempts that
had been made to SOW dissensions
among the allies and he insisted
that the United States and Eu-
rope had not been at variance.
He further asserted that Rus
sia had not made any peace over
lures and the qpestion of recog-
nizing Russia had never been dis
cussed. He said it was his earn
est conviction that military inter-
vention in Russia would be the
greatest act of stupidity and that
while the Bolshevik force was ap-
parently growing, the Bolshevik
itself was gradually breaking
down before the relentless force
of economic facts.
Referring to the League of
Nations, he said that the time
spent on il was saved and not
wasted, and would provide means
of adjusting possible errors.
London, April 16-Bu1letin-
The allied representatives in
Paris have reached a complete
understanding on the great fun
damental questions that would
affect peace with Germany, Pre-
nier Lloyd-George declared in
addressing the House of Com
mons today. He said the allies
had formulated their demands
which he hoped would be present
ed by the end of next week.
"We want a stern peace" he
said, because the occasion de-
mands it, but it must not be de-
signed to crafty vengeance but
to vindicate justice and, above all,
we want to protect the future
against repetition of the horror
of this war;"

Mary PickforJ, in her very greatest pic ture is playing this week at the Trianon theater The Heart of the Hills" is the name of this wonderful production which is taken from the novel of the same name by John Fox, Jr
 The real life of the mountain picture is revealed in this film, and much comedy is put into it, such as breakdown dance given by the mountain people to the visit ing city folks.
 Mary looks just as wonderful in ging- ham apron or a calico dress as she does in the choicest silks and satins Her act ing is superb, especially when she is in the scene where sfre is standing trial for murder
 Mary romps and fights with the boys, and as she grows to womanhood, flirts with them adorably.
 The play has all of the outdoor atmos- phere that Fox manages to put into his books, and the scenic effects are marvel lous.

SHEPHERD OF THE
 H|LLS' AT ALCAZAR Perturbation of Harold Bell Wrights Famous Novel
 Here Next Monday

Pastoral simplicity of tho kind that theme in the picturization of Harold Bell wrights famous novel, '"rhe Shepherd of the Hills" which will be seen. at the AIcazar theatre for one week only, beginning next Monday.
 The rugged honesty and worth of the men that lead the simple life in the se- uuestered Ozarks are graphically de- picted. These men, tall and upstand- ing, arc the same type as the sturdy fir trees that reach up toward the stars from the eternal hills; the same type of men who landed upon Plymouth Rock and laid the foundation for this land of ours; the type of men who love and hate with equal fury.
 Harold Bell Wright, the author of the novel, staged the screen version himself, and he made 1t a particular point to get screen players who were able to interpret the type of people he wrote about in his book, and the result is a realistic transplantation of the novel to the screen.
 Mr. Wright also refused to allow pro- fessional directors and scenario writers to re-hash his story, so convinced was he that the readers of the story would be more pleased by seeing the charac- ters and adventures brought to life on the screen exactly as they were in the book, rather than having them remod- eled to suit the modern melodrama. Thus those who see "The Shepherd of the Hills' will be able to follow the adventures of Little Pete, Sammy Lane and The Shepherd and other characters of the book on the silver sheet exactly as they were narrated in the printed pages,
