A real life-sized Presidential boom

Day dinner died away. 1t was a
John j. Pershing boom and II was
brought by Mark w. Woods chair
man OF the Nebraska Pershing Tor
President Club. Mr.. Woods was ac-
companied by George j. Woods and
Frank II. Woods, also OF Lincoln.
Asserting that General Pershing
will be put forward. as Americas
leader and a real business man, Mr..
Woods said the West is already wild
about Pershing and the sentiment
will be just as strong In the East
within a short while.
American Legion posts in every
place General Pershing has visited
on his present triumphant tour are
for the commander OF the A. Il. F.,
and the women Of the country are
lining. up for his candidacy. despite
the fact that General Pershing has
steadfastly discouraged support, Mr..
Woods said.
'.Nebraska's delegation TO the Re-
publican National convention will be
Instructed for General Pershing."
Mr.. Woods said. "Our only fear now
is that the other candidates will
withdraw in Nebraska. We are anx-
ious to have them stay in for the
Presidential preferential primaries
just to demonstrate how overwhelm.
ingly the rank and file are for Gen.
eYal Pershing."
Woods said that General Pershing's q

STARS SEEN IN "'THE
OTHER MANS WIFE"

Stuart Holmes one of the stars OF
"The Other Mans Wife," pronounced
by critics to be the greatest drama
OF home and social life ever repro
duced on the screen, is conceded by
popular vote and by the critics of
screen acting, to be the star villain
of the silent drama, commenced his
stage career with Henry E. Dixie in
"May James Pa" His screen career
began with the old Biograph Com
Fpany. He has appeared in such sue
cesses as "The Broadway Sport .
"The Scarlet Letter" and the
Derelict." He was seen in the villain
role in Norma Talmadge's greatest
success "The Ghosts of Yesterday"
! directed by Charles Miller. His work
in Theda Bara's big productions will
be remembered by all. His latest
work is seen in Charles Miller's first
independent production by the Charles
Miller Productions, Inc. He is con-
ceded to be the most villainous villain
on the screen.
Ellen Cassidy who has the principal
feminine role in "The other Mans
Wife" is one of the younger stars of
the silent drama. In her short career
, on the screen she has appeared in
some of it's biggest and most success
full productions, including the screen
version Of Checkers" She is a
pronounced blonde type, an accom-
plished horsewoman and finished
actress.
Ned Hay who is seen in the role of
the husband is not as well known as
some stars, but when you see his work
in "The Other Mans Wife" you will
wonder why he has been in electric
lights as big as the biggest. Mr.. Hay
is an ideal actor.
Regina Quinn, seen in one of the
principal roles, is graduated from
the Winter Garden chorus and during
The two seasons she held forth from
the stage of this, the greatest in
stitution of musical comedy in the
world, she was pronounced by the
