"a PETAL ON TILE CURRENT"

That Fannie Hurst wrote the story
Oh ga Petal on the Current" is suf-
fic!en' guarantee that this new Uni
versal starring vehicle for Mary Mac
Laren, which will be presented at the
Royal Theatre tomorrow, is a human
tale of very human person.
The Genius of the Short Story''. as
Kathleen Norris has called Fannie
Hurst, reached the pinnacle of her art
in "a Petal on the Current" so Co.'S
mopolitan magazine readers have de-
clared. A number of other companies
are said to have bid for the story be-
fore the Universal obtained it for
Miss MacLaren.
So admirably fitted to Miss Mac
Laren in the role of STEELE Schump,
who is in "Children's Shoes" at the
Criterion, that critics, who have read
the fiction story and have seen the
photodrama in pre-release showing
say that in their opinion Carl Laem-
NILE Universal's president, bought
the tale in the belief that Miss Hurst

WHAT WILL HE DO
WITH CRAZY JANE?

At Tom Mix's ranch, Melville, neal
Los Angeles, California, there is q
continuous swapping of horses. Tom
is very much interested in horses, and
during the making of photopMy re-
Gently he gave up his lunch hour fol
the purpose of making a trade. He
offered Hippy, Camel, Lopear and
Carrie Nation for two fine riding
horses brought in by trader; but
the trader, was not satisfied. He
must have five horses for his two.
That gave Tom an idea. He had a
horse called Crazy Jane. No one
could handle her or ride her but Tom
himself; and-as he had Tony and Blue
and several other horses retained for
the picture, Crazy Jane was of no
use. Therefore he threw in Crazy
Jane to make the swap.
After the trade was completed Tom
and his cowboy friends had a good
laugh, wondering what the trader was
going to do with Crazy Jane. Re-
turns have not yet come in, but are
expected.
Mix is the star in Fighting for
Gold," new William Fox production,
which will be shown at the Royal
Theatre today.

drew on Mary MacLaren's screen per.
sonality for her principal character
The Stella Schump of "a Petal on
the Current" as it appeared in the
Cosmopolitan Magazine was flaxen-
haired and blue-eyed, milk-white
complexioned and of the fiber that
distinguishes the plucky American
girl from all others.
Reality, rather than realism, shines
forth from this human, inspiring re-
cord of a girls success which came in
spite of the damnation of circum-
stances, of her downward course on
the river of establishment, and her
struggles to gain the shore of
"Another Chance"
Tod Browning, who produced this
drama, also was responsible for that
previous MacLaren hit, "The I'm
painted Woman" Supporting Miss
MacLaren are Robert Anderson,
GertrRde Claire, David Butler, Vic
tor Potel, Beatrice Burnham and
Fritzie Ridgwey.

'12:1O" AT THE LYRIC
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY

Over 900 feature pictures are made
every year in the United States to
supply the demand of $4,000 motion
picture theatres. These theatres in
turn cater to 100000 people every
day. To please them all is a gigan-
tic problem. The management of
the Lyric Theatre in it's efforts to
get the very best feature possible
for his patrons has had the good
fortune to secure for two days be-
ginning Saturday Marie Doro in
"12:10," in six reels directed by Her.
bert Brenon. Here we have a COM
bination of a great star, great
director and great story. Every
element that goes in the making of a
successful photoplay has been Sc
cured.
Mr.. Brenon, after having scored an
enormous success with "Neptune's
Daughter" "a Daughter of the
Gods" Empty Pockets" "War
Brides" and "The Fall of the Rom
anoff's," determined to add another
triumph to his career by going
abroad and making pictures with a
background of the historical spots of
England and France. His first step
was to secure a star who had by her
work on the screen earned an I'M
questioned position in the very front
rank. With the whole picture world
to select from he chose Marie Doro
who, before becoming identified with
the screen had been starred by Froh-
man and other famous theatrical pro-
ducers. Mr.. Brenons next step was
to secure story that had every ele--
ment of success. He picked HUI
man document that had that quality
of suspense that made it impossible
for screen patrons to visualize the
finish at the end of the first reel.
The solving of the enigma gave to
the story that grip that has made
of mystery plays the gigantic vogue
which has never been duplicated by
any other kind of play or picture.
The presentation in this city of
"12:10" should disclose one of the
most notable pictures of the current
season.

contest had arrived at the conclusion
that such a course would be wise.
While it was possible that the Vir-
ginia Democrats had followed the
plan of silence on the Volstead en-
forcement act in framing the plat
form which President Wilson has
approved, which might indicate the
gested much depends on the course
w. J. Bryan plans to follow on his
arrival here today. He is credited
with having determined to carry the
war into the enemy's country in
meeting the wet" drive at the plat
form which began more than a week
ago and offer an emphatic bone dry
declaration on his account.
The movement for platform silence
on the enforcement measure is said
GRAFTON of this report as to the Ne
braskan's plans. Some at least of
it's advocates are said to desire now
to head off vote on such bone dry
program as a matter of expediency
If the issue were forced to a con-
cIusion on the platform struggle
these strateglsts argued, it might be
more prejudicial to their hopes for
modification of the Volstead act than
beneficial, while complete silence

These feelers toward a harmony

among workers for various presiden-
tial candidates.
The first of the large delegations
will arrive within the next two days
and preparations for missionary
work among the members were in
progress. Various combinations for
the ticket were being talked over
for this or that aspirant votes to

tive tickets appeared, however, to

must make the race, and with that
idea In mind they are planning to
draft him for the nomination.
So far as President Wilson is con-
cerned, nobody here has had a word
from him on candidates and Senator
Glass, who talked with Mr.. Wilson
about plans for the convention, espe-
cially the platform, is authority for
the statement that the name of Mr.
McAdoo or any other candidate didn't
come from the lips of the president
during. the entire conversation. The
same holds true with respect to the
Wilson office-holders and faithful
supporters. They haven't had any

has been for McAdoo from the start
is standing firmly for his nomination.
Plan Finish Fight
The men in this group insist that
McAdoo, himself. has recognized that
the call of the country must super
sede personal considerations, for
they point to his public statement
made at the time of the withdrawal
Of his name from the Georgia pri-
marles, namely, that no man could
refuse the nomination for the presi-
dency.
=, When Mr.. McAdoo asked therefore,
made by forces opposed to McAdoo
was that he could say he wouldn't
take the nomination if proffered to
him. This, however, it is argued by
his friends, would be inconsistent
with his first declarat ton at the time
of the Georgia primaries.
So while Mr.. McAdoo is earnestly
trying to prevent his friends here
from putting him in the embarrass-
ing position of appearing as can
didate, they are. going ahead with
remarkable steadfaStness to put him
in nomination. 1t may be excessive
zeal and it may prove a mistaken
compliment but the folks who are
working for McAdoo here are a loyal
set who will not take mo" from Nc
Adoo. They have talked the situa-
ton over and have planned to go
ahead to the finish.
Talk of giving the. vice presiden-
tial nominatidN to Victor Murdoch,
of Kansas. former Bull Moose leader,

though many of them would prefer

ticket with McAdoo. They insist
that the ticket "McAdoo and Cox"

Hitchcock Would
Refuse Nomination
For Vice Presidency

WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator
Hitchcock, Of Nebraska, announced
today that he would not accept the
Democratic vice presidential nominal
ton.
Senator Hitchcock's announcement
was made in a telegram to Arthur F.
Mullen, member Of the Democratic
national committee from Nebraska,
answering a letter In which Mr..
Mullen had said the senator was
being prominently mentioned for the
vice presidency.
81 am not candidate for vice
president and would not accept the
nomination for second place. the
telegram said.
The Democratic platform will not
contain either wet or dry plank
in the opinion of Senator Hitchcock,
but he expressed the conviction to-
day that it will include a strong
League of Nations plank.
Il cannot conceive that the Demo-
cratic party will place a plank in
the platform declaring for or against
prohibition" he said. prohibition is
not properly an issue between Demo-
Gratis. If dry plank were inserted
it would mean that raising out of the
party those Democrats who had not
favored prohibition. If a wet plank
were adopted it would mean that the
men who believe in prohibition must
be outside the party"
