"'DlNTY' WILL SHOW AT 49,
d. REX THEATRE ON; SUNDAY

Another clever young lady of the
motion picture world has scared &c
stardom. She is Colleen Moore, who
ras just signed up a long-term con
tract withs Marshall Neilan. :7"s''s ~
Under its terms she is to receive,
it is said, one Of the handsomest sal
aries ever paid young star, in addi-
ton to the, honor Of playing leading
roles in the Neilan productions fol
Associated First National Pictures,
Inc. r.
The contract came as result, 1t
is reported, of Miss Moore's excep-
tional work in "Dinty," in which
Wesley Barry, the boy actor, is star
red, and which will be the attraction
at the Rex theatre for two days, be-
ginning Sunday.
Although only nineteen years old,
Miss Moore has had a wide expert
ence on the screen. At the tender
age of eleven, she was organizer,
manager and star of the American
Stock company at Tampa, Fla, a
company of child actors, and the
"shows" put on by the tots drew q
patronage which included even the
STOWu-upS. - r.
Later Colleen graduated from high
school and from local musical and
dramatic conservatory, following
which she went to Chicago to pursue
her studies. 1t was there she met p,
w. Griffith, who offered her. a con-
tract in pictures.
She. then went west with her mo-
Their, and has since made an enviable
reputation for herself as a, screen
actress Her first appearance with
the Griffith company was in THE
Bad Boy supporting Robert Har-
ron.
So impressed was King Vidor with
Miss Moore's work in "Dinty" that
he induced Mr.. Neilan to consent
to her appearance in a forthcoming
Vidor production, 1.-THE Sky Pilot"

WOULD MAKE EASIER READING
Boston Man Has Idea for Printing
Books That 10 Interesting but
Revolutionary.

Why not print all books in such a
way that every page is right-hand
page? asks d. I. Winslow Of Boston,
who claims patent for his conception
Of how to do it. He holds that II one
has to read pages on one side Of book
only, this will be held more easily, the
eyes will not wander, there will be no
necessity for changing the position OF
head and neck when passing from one
page to another. Thus reading. espe.
cially of big, heavy volumes, will be
less fatiguing not only to the eyes.
head and neck. but also to the arms
and hands.
Mr.. Winslow's idea is to print book
SO that you read straight ahead from
right-hand page to right-hand page
these being numbered cOnsecutively
then, when you have read through ia
the last rlght-hand page. you turn the
book upside down and continue reading
rs before. what in ordinary books arc
left-hand pages now being right-hand
pages. This, of course, involves print.
Ing all left-hand pages upside dOwI
and numbering them consecutively
from the back Of the book. This would
easily be arranged by the printer In
laying out the forms. though to get the
paginntion Of large book correct
would require some nice calculation Cd
the printers part.

RUSSIAN HERO IN PAJAMAs
Soldier Of DenIkin's Army, Decorated
for Bravery, Attired In Altogether
Unconventional Uniform.

The highest decoration for valor
that could be given n soldier In Deni-
kin's army was pinned to the breast
of soldier whose uniform ran close
second to that of Kipling's hero, Gun
ga Din. says communication from
Ekaterinodar, South Russia, to the
Stars and Stripes.
The medal was pinned to the SOL
dier's jacket. which was the upper part
Of pair Of pajamas, and the rest OF
his outfit was only pair of British
military trousers. He was barefooted
and hatless.
The clothing worn by this man typl-
fles the conditions that exist In the
army fighting the bolsheviki in that
country. They do not have q service
Of supply and they do not have reg.
ulation uniform.
General Bradofr, who decorated the
pajama-j acketed hero, wore the
tunic of British Tommie, and the
guard Of troops who furnished the
background for the decoration cere-
monies, wore parts of uniforms from
dozen different armies. With the
exception of group Of Cossack cav
airy, the decorated soldier was the
neatest-dressed man of the lot.
The hero, on his own initiative, led
detachment Of scouts in capturing n
town from the bolsheviki. He was
wounded in carrying out this exploit,
taken to hospital and given suit
Of pajamas. When he left he took the
pajama jacket to replace his wornout
Russian tunic, and he had not been
able to replace 1t.

watched the hanging.
O'Brien was convicted of shooting
a policeman in u gun battle in a sa-

was guilty, but three days ago claim

The announcement that Mesdag' $
collection of paintings, etchings and

The Hague. Though a private collec-
tion set forth in a museum adjoining

tain restrictions. open to the PUBLIC
Mesdag. it will be remembered. was
one Of the leading painters OF the
Dutch modern school. He was also Il
rich banker and his collection was as
tutely assembled. 1t was his inten-
ton that it should go to the Dutch
government aud be perpetually pre-
served as a public museum. But for
some reason the Dutch government
did not accept the bequest and hence
the collection is being dispersed.
Mesdag numbered among his friends
and acquaintanceS some OF the most
famous artists OF his DAY, Sucn as
Daubigny. Mauve, lsraels, Neuhuys
and the brothers Maris. and these are
represented in the collection. There
are numerous drawings by Millet and
there are etchings by Vollon, Rous-
seau, Fortuny. Corot and others.
Modern Dutch art found it's keenest
appreciation in this country and 1t is
doubtless for this reason that America
was chosen for the dispersal of this
collection.
The Waggaman collection, which, un-
til its dispersal was. it will be remem-
bered. in the Waggaman home in
Georgetown. was very rich in works by
modern Dutch painters, in fact, one of
the choicest of it's kind. This collection
was assembled by Richard n.
Brooke. for many years president of the
Society of Washington Artists. and went
far to establish the reputation of CO.
temporary Dutch painters not only in
the United States but also abroad.
