RN AssnnIafed Press

Marion O., August 30.-Senator Harding's reclamation policy, to be enunciated tomorrow in an address here to group of republican govern ors. was discussed by the nominee today with Clifford Pinchot, former chief of the federal forestry service, and a leader of the progressive party in the 1912 campaign
 Afterward, Mir. Pinehot issued a statement saying he was much pleased with the senator's views on conserva- tion and related subjects and was ready to let bygones be bygones and do all he could for the republican sue cess.
 Nine governors, most of them from western states, have promised to be in the delegation tomorrow, in addi- tion to a. number of rormer governors and gubernatorial nominees. Frank o Lowden, governor of Illinois, and one of the leading candidates for the pres- idential nomination at Chicago, is among those expected to be present.
 Several members of the group ar rived today and spent the evening at the Harding home. After the front porch speech tomorrow, the party will be guests of the Marion encampment of the G. A. R., at a picnic here.

CHARMING ORIENTAL
 ACT AT THE LYRIC

In spite of the fact that two other acts were billed as the headliners for the latter half of this week, Marcus and Booth receiver fair share of Monday afternoons applause. Their act is entitled Fall Has Come" an6 they liaerauy picked the audience out of their seats, carrying them to the land of jazzy songs and dancing ful of pep.
 The Amaranth Sisters gave a genu- inc dancing thrill in their number. They proved that the music nature is not only expressed in music itself, but in the dance. They are terpschorean artists. They defied gravity. In addi- tion they were breath taking, daring costumes.
 What is the charm of the oriental? Oriental acts that have come here have met with immediate success. The Davigneau Celestials are fine Chinese musicians. Barremea plays the piano. un- like many Western pianists he is attrac tive to look at while performing his art He sang one song that was very taking, and made a speech in addition to his other part of the performance. Assist ing Borremeo are Miss Stella Gordon billed as Miss Men Toy" and Tok Sethe Tol Sethe sang well in a good tenor voice Men Toy was charming and danced with much grace and ability. The act went big.
 Then Wallace made his entrance and was greeted almost immediately with ap- plause. He is one of those jolly good fel- lows that win right off. He gave senti- mental act full of fun. He tried to be just bit sissy too, which was amusing, Miss Drew was adequate as his support

WHISPERS" ABSORBING
 DRAMA, AT ALCAZAR

Matt Moore and Ealine Hammer stein are at the Alcazar in a picture called "Whispers" The arrival of Whispers" has been heralded in ad- vance reports and by good critics to be a gossip story. We'll, 1t is But you will not find Whispers" just what that has led you to expect.
 In the story of Whispers" the girl who happens to be the subject of so- cietys criticism seems well entitled to it. She deliberately ignores con- vention and for no other reason SO far as the story shows than boredom and to escape the attentions of flop who annoys her by his persistence.
 She does ~no radical wrong, only at- tends opera with a married man and sits in his family box. His wife also comes to view the opera and, of course. in thesame box. It would seem that this isn't a real dramatic situa- tion, simply foolhardness. The com plications that do arise, too, are, of course, not unlocked for. The pub- lie wonders and whispers when they see the scene In the box at the thea tre. Of course, they do. Who wouldn't?
 But if real significant drama Is missing in Whispers" there is an in- teresting thread to the story well worth following. Miss Hammerstein wears some beautiful costumes, and there are some fine small town scenes as well as views of New York and Washington.
 Screen Topics, shown in addition, are an interesting attraction They give some intimate views of popular screen stars

 There are still several of the old players of last season that are with the company and when they made their appearance on the stage they were greeted with showers of approval
 Jack: Motte, who was leading man part of the time during last season. and of course Sam Parks, are still with the company. Miss Mae Parks. who many people think is the best little leading lady anywhere, will be with the company in about two weeks the management announces. Miss Parks is just recovering from a severe illness and her vacation was extended to al low her plenty of time to recover be- fore starting on the winter season. But the rest of the cast is composed of new players. and a large part of the success of Tn Walked Jimmy" is due to them and for the excellent sup port they gave MT. Parks in the lead ing role.

 Unless further federal action is taken in the coming year." he added, "the states will be left in doubt as to the future policy of the government and the amount of money they must be prepared to spend.
