81 like men better than women be-

men wake up in the morning and

course one has to think of love soon

NEW YORK-Who is the most
talked of woman in New York today?
Ask it in literary circles and the
answer will be-Helen Wesley.
Ask it in theatrical circles and the
answer will be-Helen Wesley.
Ask it in Greenwich Village
where they all falkland still it will
be-Helen Wesley.
All conversational roads IN New
York today lead to Helen Wesley
Who is she-this person that
everyone talks about and praises, as
thew praised Sylvia in Ben Johnson's
famous song, "Who is Sylvan"
0Who is Helen Helen Wesley?
Well, she is an actress. a thinker
and a Observation-Disclosures.
Made Theater Guild.
She is the woman who has made
successful the theater guild here,
that organization of idealists who put
on "John Ferguson" "high brow
plav and yet made of it one of the
greatest financial successes in 10
years of theater history.
Helen Wesley has so much wit, SO
much charm, that the brainiest men
in New York seek her to talk with
and one day you will see her at Hen
ri's lunching with Philip Moeller, the
brilliant author of Madame Sand
and Sophie now running at the
Grefenwich Village theater; the next
day you will find her talking at the
Claridge at tea-time with Gene O'Nelli
the author of the hit of the New
York season, Beyond the Horizon,
while that night. if you happen to
take dinner at Delmonico's she will
be the table companion of some Wall
street money-wizard who likes "smart
women"
Helen Wesley likes men; she says
she prefers them to women as talk
ers. "Men are more amusing than
women" she explained to me. "They
have more background. Every year,
for them, is the dangerous year.
Men go up against fate as wild
cat Jumps in the dark at the enemy
Yes. and men are better looking than
women because they are not afraid
to be ugly from having suffered and
looked into their souls.

| HUMAN VOICE TO
Be PHOTOGRAPHED
SPEAKING MOTION PICTURES
POSSIBLE. MAY REVOLT
TIONIZE PHOTO DRAMA.

! Through photoplay of the human
voice it is possible to develop speak
ing motion pictures without destroy
ing the artistic worth of the picture,
according to DR.. G.. E. Kenneth Mees,
director of the research laboratories
of the Eastman Kodak Company at
Rochester.
DR.. Mees is an Englishman, who at
the time of coming to this country
was heralded as the inventor of ar
tificial daylight. He received a de-
gree of doctor of science from an
English university for a thesis on
this subject. In the realm of photo
graphic science he is among those at
the top.
Mr.. Mees doubts that there is a
demand for speaking movies, but con-
cedes that the plan of talking mo-
ton picture production is something
that may be worked out in time. He
says that experiments along the line
of producing films which are seen
and heard at the same time have been
made in France, and that producer
there has invented a film which has
now Reached HiSn SIduudIu VI pei

are not in general use, but the fact
is they are and can be produced

impossible. AS the process is fur

may be simplified.

DRAFT DESERTER in
CAVE FOR TWO YEARS
VENTURED FORTH ONLY AT
NIGHT, LIVING WILD LIFE.
GIVES HIMSELF UP.

CHILLICOTHE, Ohio.-Stories o.
how a neighbor deserter from th'
Union army in the civil war had beer
brought to bay in nearby village
bx, limited States marshal and shot
brought visions of a similar fate tt
Carl Amerine and impelled him tc
hide in the hills for almost two years
rather than possibly face firing
squad to Camp Sherman.
Amerine, drafted into the army,
left a wife and 2-year-old babe at
home in the quiet, picturesque hills.
He could neither read nor write, and
the largest village visited in his twen-
tv-four years had numbered less than
a thousand people. The busting
thousands of the camp, military re-
straint and customs weighed heavily
on him, and an impelling desire to
see his wife and baby boy led him to
quit camp to see them without OBJ
tanning permission.
Takes to Hills.
At home his fathers tottering
wreck of the civil war told him he
was a deserter Visions of the firing
SQUAD flashed through his mind. Kiss
ing his wife and baby goodbye, he
took to the rugged hills.
There he found a cave in which he
spent most of the time, venturing
forth only at night and at times dur
ing the day when there was little
chance of being seen. His only fare
was such scanty food as his wife
could get to him and herbs and wild
berries that he gathered from woods
and fields and such wild game as
he could CATCH The cave in which
he lived is said to be large enough
for only one person and could have
been defended against an army. So
closely did Amerine watch all ap-
proaches to his hiding place that un-
til a few days ago he had been seen
bv no one except his wife and broth
er-in-law.
Gives Himself Up.
Military authorities had abandoned
the search for Amerine. Three
weeks ago lawyer friend of the
family became interested and implor
ed the wife to have her husband re
turn and give himself up. She stead
lastly held that her husband would
be shot if captured and refused t.
have him return.

not wide enough, however, and the con-
sequence was that the lighter machine
was showed off.
