RESERVATIONS ARE

Replies to Arguments Of

OMAHA, Neb. Sept. s.-Discussing
for the first time during his speaking
tour proposed reservations to the
league of nations, President Wilson
replied in an address here today to
arguments advanced by those who
favor reservations.
"A reservation, said the President,
sis an acceptance with big but We
agee-but."
The proposed reservations provid-

from membership, said the president,
meant that its sponsors wanted ITO

Any reservation regarding the Mon

Two Good Pictures Programmed.


Two out of the ordinary pictures are
advertised for the Dixie today, to put
it in their own words, and there doesn't
seem to be any exaggeration at that.
The first is a ]. Stuart Blackton fea-
ture "a House Divided"
The action OF the story Is laid in
London and concerns the London social
set as examplifled by those moving in
the same social whirl with the titled
nobility. A member of the House OF
Lords is one OF the principal charac-
tiers and his marriage with girl
years younger than himself and her
infatuation for a younger member of
Parliament, afford the basic plot ma
terial for the development Of one Of
the most dramatic photoplays ever
screened. Sylvia Dreamer, Herbert
Rawlinson, William Humphreys and
Sally Crute have the principal roles.
The original production was in seven
reels, but was later cut to six reels.
The other feature is an o. Henry story
Buried Treasure" There is never
any risk in recommending an o. Henry
story, and coupled with the other
drama, ought to make strong pro-
gram for the Dixie.
The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1919-09-08
Not a serlous Play.

Not Serious Play.
There is a great deal of pictorial
charm and pleasing social atmos-
phere in the five-reel Fox subject,
"Cowardice Court" at the Nelson to-
day. 1t was adapted from novel by
George Barr McCutcheon, author OF
many successful stories of the popular
type. In screen form this particular
tale carries a blithe comedy spirit and
moves with good action; 1t never dips
very heavily into drama and has little
regard for the realities. 1t is purely
surface story of an engaging type
and one that carries fair amount OF
entertainment.
Peggy Hyland plays the heroine,
Penelope Drake, sister Of lord who
has married into an American family.
The plot centers about two adjoining
country estates, between which small
river flows, with connecting foot
bridge. The owners Of these estates
are at swords points and the girl
brings about a termination of the feud
by marrying her brothers. enemy.
The locations in this are very
charming and do much to add to the
enjoyment of the picture. The cast is
also pleasing as a whole and the socia!
life is in keeping with the story.
