day you'll walk with kings. or be ;

"THE CRIMSON ALIBT'
NEW GOODWIN FEATURE

Octavus Roy Cohen, who recent
ly signed fve-year contract to
write photoplays exclusively for
Goldwyn, is the author of the big
gest melodramatic success ever seen
on Broadway, "The Crimson Abb"
which George Broadhurst dramatised
from Cohen's novel, opened two weeks
ago; the following morning every
newspaper in New York carried such
eulogistic reviews that the first
weeks sale of tickets broke the rec
ord for the theatre, which was held
by Bought and Paid For"
Mr. Cohen is a Southern boy, born
in Charleston, South Carolina, but
now living in Birmingham, Alabama,
where he owns a magnificent bunga
low nesting at the foot Of Red Noun
cam, and, it is there that this young
author, who is only twonty-aeve>
years old, has written some Of his
recent novels and many short stories
which have been running in the Sat
urday Evening Post, which are hu-
morous and true. to life stories of the
Southern negroes, and the local at
mosphere used in each story was laid
around 18th Street and 3rd Avenue,
Birmingham, Ala.
The immediate success of Mr.. Cob
ems dramatic venture assures the
patrons of the Photographic drama
that the authors writings for the
Goldwyn screen will contain the same
punch and power that his work for
the legitimate stage has revealed. Mr..
Cchen's first Goldwyn story is in the
hands of the Scenario Department
and the story is in process of final
drafting 1t might be of interest to
observe that Mr. Cohen wrote 1870
stories before the first one was sold.
The editor of the "Blue Book" pur-
chased it for $500. Everything
since then he has sold readily. Be
sides having the honor of being one
of the most prolific short story writ
ers in America, Mr. Cohen is a
practical engineer and lawyer;
though he renowned both of these
professions to become a best-selling

TAFT STOPS HERE
between TRAINS
ALL UNHERALDED
Train Comes Ahead of Sched-
ule and He Gets Shoe Shine
While Waiting for
Omaha Friends.

A little bootblack earned Is cents
yesterday at the Union station
by shining the shoes of a big man
who was recognized by only a few
people around the passenger yards,
but who in fact was William How
ard Taft, former president of the
United States. The bootblack, how
ever. recognized his customer and
put some extra finishing touches on
the shine.
The Union station incident hap
pened like this: Mr.. Taft was on
his way out into Nebraska on a
speaking tour in connection with
the Peace league. The train came
ahead of schedule. Mr.. Taft walked
up and down the platform until
halted by bootblack, with the in
quiry: Mister, don't you want a
shine?"
Good-naturedly Mr.. Taft told the
boy to go ahead with the job and
the shoe polishing commenced and
continued uninterruptedly until the
youngster looked up and conhded,
II know who you are. You are Mr..
Taft, who was once president"
The former president acknowledge
ed the correctness of the boys
diagnosis and entered into a con-
versation with the youngster, con-
tinuing until interrupted by the
arrival of Mr.. Taft's friends.
At the station Mr.. Taft was greet
ed by Victor Rosewater of The Bee
and Frank Judson. He visited the
canteen and breakfasted with Mrs.
Prince and some of the canteen
workers.
Mr.. Taft remained at the station
two hours. From here he went to
Schuyler, where yesterday afternoon
he delivered an address. Last night
he was in Lincoln, the guest of Gov
ernor McKelvie, and today he will
speak in Wahoo.

Reports to the railroads indicate
that in Nebraska Monday at numer-
Gus points the mercury climbed
pretty we'll up toward the 100 degree

Because no rain has accompanied
the warm wave, railroad men say
the weather has been ideal for the
growing corn and the ripening of
small grain.
That the heated wave worked in
from the mountain slope is apparent.

cy of the Burlington, who is back
