SETTINGS or GREAT
BEATTY DISTINGUISH
NE.W NE MILE FILM

Stage settings Of unusual beauty are
assured in any photoplav bearing Cecil
y. De Bilc's name and -Someting To
Think About" the Paramount picture
which will be shown at the Arcade
Theatre today easily reaches the high
standard Sc, by previous De Mile pro-
ductions.
But something To Think About
has, in addition to several stage set
tings Of remarkable beauty. some Of
the most realistic backgrounds Of a
humble sort ever seen in a motion pic
ture production.
The story offers a great opportunity
for contrast and due advantage has
been taken Of every opportnnity In
this production, has been supplied a
humble blacksmith's home, his work
shop and the poverty-stricken apart
ment wherein some of the most i'm
portant action of the story transpires.
Against this background Cecil 3. De
Mile placed home Of exquisite beau
~. BY thus contrasting the two sur-
roundings. they have emphasized the
realism Of one and the artistic perfec-
lion Of the other.
Notable examples of this decorative
lavishness are 10 be found in the Orien-
tai living room. library and music
room which comprises one portion Of
the residence in question. Another
striking sample OF the ultra modern
influence in interior decoration is in
the dining room OF the same dwslling.
A boudoir Of striking beauty completes
this household.

Feathering of political nests, max
ing of new roosts for the migratory
birds from New Zealand, Australia,
North Carolina, Minnesota and else
where has been evident since King
Art Townley assumed the throne of
the autocracy of Nonpartison League
dom.
Yet, the medal for finesse and the
first prize of handpainted portfolio,
goes to C. w. Mcdonnell, of Kensal,
Town'ay candidate for railroad COM
missioner.
During the special session Of the
Legislature last November, Mcdonnell
was a member of the house. He
fathered bill raising the salaries Of
the railroad commissioners from $4,000
to $4,000 per annum. He had the bill
referred to the house committee of
which he was chairman. In his COM
mittee, Mcdonnell secured ther en-
dorsement of the measure and as
chairman of the committee signed the
report for adoption. A fight de-
ve1oped on the floor of the house over
the bill and Mcdonnell championed it
in its league majority passage.
And Mcdonnell is now, if elected
by Townleyism, due for $1,000 more
year than any railroad commission
er ever before received.
He's a bird-at feathering his own
nest.
