stage play in 1902 in London, it was
presented the following year in New
York at the Lyceum theater with Will
liam Gillette as Crichton, where it
scored a triumph. Interest in the
striking story has BEEN unfla gging in
subsequent years. and in 1918 Scrib-
ner's brought it out in book form.

Cecil B. De Mile these qualities have
been transformed to the screen.
1t is characteristic of the high stand
ards set by Cecil B. De Mile in every
detail of his productions that a scenar-
ist of the recognized genius of Jeanne
Macpherson should have written the
script for male and Female" Pic

Whispering Chorus" 1.-THE Woman God
Forgot" It'll Come Back to You

intuitive sense of dramatic values that
stamp, them as the work OF Miss Mac
pTierson. She has an intimate knowl-
edge of Mr.. De Miles ideals and per-
feet sympathy with them as well as
the talent and technical knowledge
to transcribe them into a scenario.
In the hands of Cecil B. De Mile and
Jeanie Macpherson, the art of even a
Barrie is enhanced.

that interpret De Mile pictures are
well known to screen patrons. Male

Organization Of Stanton Park Citi-
zens' Association was perfected last
| night at a meeting held in Peabody
School. ]. H. Howell. who served as

| tion. was chosen president. Other

| renee Phillips. financial secretary;
George Clagett, treasurer; Joseph A.
Herbert. jr., and Samuel B. Frantz,

zens' Association.
The first business transacted was
the adoption of a resolution opposing
the increase in car fare asked by
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company and favoring the merging
of the two street car companies.
Defends Zone System.
Joseph A. Herbert. jr., discussing
the street railway situation, spoke of
the claims of the Washington Rail-
the '1ong-haul passengers" paying the
same as those who ride short dis
tance, and claiming deficits were
caused by the expensive handling Of
long-distance riders.
Mr. Herbert asked if suclr claim
was not a reasonable one. He said
that patrons of the steam railroads
do not expect to pay the same fare
for trip to Baltimore as they would
for a trip to New York or Philadel-
phia- He agreed with Mr.. Frant1
that the association should not take
hasty action in dealing with the street
railway problem.
The association unanimously adopt
ed a constitution and bylaws sub
mitted by committee of which Frank
w. Ved,ler was chairman. 1t is stip-
ulated that a president may be elect
ed to office a third successive time
only by unanimous consent of the
association.
William Claws said he hoped the
association would not delay action
in the matter of getting suffrage for
the people of the District of Columbia.
In the city of Dublin, Ireland, the
people have more liberty than the
people of this District" he declared,
They have a system of self-govern-
ment there.

tinued, land I want to feel that be-
long to an association that has mem
bers possessed of the spirit Of '76.
I'VE are not even American cit
izens," he added.
Questions relative to the school sit
uation will be discussed at the next
have the committee on schools make
an investigation and submit its re-
port at that time.
Mr.. Vedder suggested the inaugura-
ton of a drive to increase the -asso-
ciation's membership, and it Is prob
able that every inch of territory COW
cred by the association will be can
vassed. The territory includes that
part of the northeast section between
East Capitol. H, 1st and 9th streets.
President Howell said he thought it
well to have an entertainment at
each meeting. 1t will mean some
thing to increase interest in the or
ganization and something which every
member will enjoy. He said he had
been given the assurance that the
Boy Scout Band would give a con-
cert in Stanton Park one meeting
night of the association.
Master Frederick Prestell and Miss

ers last night.

HARDING BEGINS ACTUAL WRITING KEYNOTE SPEECH G. o. F. Nominee Pleased at Announcement Senator Johnson Will Support
 Ticket
By Associated Pres.

Marion, O., July 7.-After several weeks spent in preliminary preparation, Senator Harding today began the actual writing of his speech to be delivered on July P, accepting the republican presi- dential nomination. He expects to com plete it in about ten days, during which time he plans to see but few visitors.
 In order to get an early start on the speech, the senator arrived at his o1Iice in the administration building adjoining his home several hours earlier than usual today but found it locked. Seat ing himself on the front porch, he calm ly waited until George Christian, his sacretary. arrived some time later and unlocked the door.
 Following a custom acquired while m active newspaper work. Senator Harding is writing his speech with a pencil on a scratch pad, from which 1t VIII iater be copied on typewriter
 According to members of his office force. the senator never dictates. a speech and after it has been written out in long hand seldom changes his copy.
 The announcement by Senator Johnson of California that he would support the republican ticket greatly pleased Sena- tor Harding when informed or II tooay' The statement did not come as sur prise. however, as it has been understood around the Harding headquarters for some weeks that that would be the Cali fornia senator's attitude.
 '.I am glad Senator Johnson is going to give the ticket his support. he said. T am glad to know of everybody's sup port. and I would much rather have support on the grounds that our plat form is appealing than on the grounds of interest in the nominees.

Mine OUners A Fighting 10 Keep
 Costs From Public
By Associated Press

Scranton, Pa, July 7.-Strong oppo- sition to not only the submission of exhibits, seven in number. dealing with the alleged monopolistic con trol and profiteering in the anthra- cite industry during the past five years, but also the public argument when the advisability of the presen- tation of the figures and evidence would be thoroughly discussed was put forth by coal operators at ses- sions of the anthracite mine com mission here today.
 The persistent effort of the mine owners to withhold all figures from the public which might show the reve- nue and income of the various com panies, resulted in the first executive session of the commission this after noon.
 The executive session was held to determine whether another executive meeting would be conducted tomor- row morning, at which time the argu- ment on the submission by the United Mine Workers of the exhibits would take place.
