ROLE BY
PICTURE STAR
AT ELLANAY

Anita Stewart in The yellow IT-
phoou," at the Ellanay theater, IS seen
in one Of the best reels her managers
have ever offered the public.
While it is almost a melodrama, It
is interesting from start TO finish and
Miss Stewart is shown in a dual role
that is very remarkable.
The story is written around twin
sisters. a brunei, who IS a hard work
ing, honest girl and blond. whose
passion is for fine clothes and The best
of the worlds goods 1t becomes the
duty Of the brunei, in the capacity OF
a secret service operative Of the
United States, TO follow the erriug
sister around the world and aid IN
consciously in bringing her 70 JUS
tice.
The story Of the play takes the
spectators from New York into the
fastest of fast life in Paris. then into
an equally rapid existence in The orl-
ent and then into the Philippines An
invention By an American that is to
save American ships from submarines
plays a big part in the drama from
the time the Philippines are reached
until 1t ends in Washington German
spies and secret agents have TO be
LhWarted. also Jap and there Is a
murder mystery. an exciting ocean
voyage and other features TO hold the
interest. Oh, yes. and a parrot plays
a prominent part IN the little game
although this is not revealed until
the last
There is no dearlh OF action in the
play from first TO last and some Of
the settings are gorgeous and elabO-
rate, particularly the scene in an ORR
entail gambling han where the way
ward blond sister stakes herself
against the wealth OF q man-iand
loses on the turn OF wheel he
plays red, significant Of lie. and
She plays black, emblematic Of mems
hearts"
1t is a picture that makes you rise
up in your seat at times in eLpec-
fancy and excitement The fact that
the same star appears on the screen
in two roles at one time in many Of
the scenes makes IL more than usually
interesting and Is a tribute TO the
height TO which the motion picture art
has risen
To add to the enjoyment Of the pic
lures at the Ellanay, manager Ben
Lewis has installed an orchestra Of
five pieces for the evening shows
His new organist plays at the other
shows C A IL

ANOTHER FIGHT
 FOR FAIR RATES Lumbermen Trying to Get Square Deal for Southern
 Port Business

Petition for the restoration of export lumber rates to the Gulf ports win be filed with the Interstate Commerce. Con- mission within the next thirty days.
 This step was decided upon at the meeting of the lumber rate committee of the Southern Pine Association. held in New Orleans few days ago.
 It is stated that practically ai1 the commercial associations, traffic bureaus and lumber associations in the south will join the Pine Association in its fight for the restoration of the rates.
 A. G. T. Moore. chairman of the lum- Der rate committee of the south and traf- fc manager of the Southern Pine Associa- ton, and F. A. Jordan, assistant traffic manager of the association, secretary Of the committee, now are engaged in work ing out the details of the case and pre- pairing the petition to be filed.
 Chairman Moore states that at least $i, ,000O00 is involved in this case, rep resenting advanced charges which south ern lambermen will be obliged to pay an- nually.
 Against vigorous protests, the railroad administration cancelled the export rates on lumber from points east of the Mis- sissippi river. effective in December, 1919, entailing advanced charges on lumber for exports shipped to Gulf Iorts. The ex- port gate from points west of the Mis- sissippi were allowed to stand. but the railroad committee was instructed to pre- pare advances in the western territory, similar to those east of the river.
 As explained by MT. Moore at the com mittee's meeting as the situation now stands. lumber mills east of the Missis- sippi shipping for export through South Atlantic and Gulf ports, are compelled to pay an advanced rate, the measure of which is from IF to 31a cents per 100 pounds. or. in fact, they must pay the domestic rate.

OVERALL MOVEMENT DOOMED TO FAILURE
To the Editor of The Age-Herald ::

To the Editor of The Age-Herald: Forty years of overall wearing makes me feel quite at home in them. and the present popular movement Takes me want to say few words test against high prices. it will be & failure and will only serve to advance overall prices. to the detriment of the man who really has to wear them. It is hard to believe that business and professional men will continue to wear them for any length of time and their purchase price will be wasted when they are thrown aside. Some of our aesthetic nostrils will be offended at the distinctive odor that denim possesses, and when the fastidious observe the indigo hue of their B. V. D-'s after few days oe wear they. too. will want to discard them.
 The sensible women. bless their hearts, are forming clubs pledging themselves to wear old clothing as a protest measure. and what could be more sensible and effective. to say nothing of the comfort it will bring te the jess fortunate members of their sex whc really have to do without all the new things they need.
 I beard a Birmingham matron say not long ago that when she was ligh school girl she had single wash dress for school wear and she had to -aunder it after school hours for next days wear Many heartaches among schoolgirls result from the expensive dressing of the more well-to-do.
 If the men had resolved to take their oldest and shabbiest suits and have them carefully cleaned. pressed and r1ended and wear a protest button they would have. at one stroke. combatted H. C. L.. practiced economy and con servation and furnished business for the dry cleaners.
