Theda Bara in
"The Blue Flame"

Apropos of Miss Theda Bara's ap-
pearance In person under A. II.
Woods direction in the spoken play
entitled The Blue Flame" at Polls
Theater tomorrow evening, Miss Bara
has the following to say to to the
public:
~ have been so long identified with
the screen, that / am sure everybody
will want to know whether this is
motion picture. The Blue Flame Is
not a motion picture, but an excellent
drama OF the legitimate stage.
II have been on the stage before.
my first vampire part on the
screen was in a picture called A Fool
There Was
~ don't care to divulge my private
life. I do not see that 1t heightens the
interest in an artists work.
81 consented to appear In The Blue
Flame because I think II Is a good
play, and because ] hope can do as
well on the stage as did In the
films.
"I have never given advice to young
girls who want to go on the stage or
who want to act before the camera. /
don't intend to begin now. Advice
never made career. 1t may have
spoiled many.
"As to whom I am and where I
come from, I am Theda Bara, a resi-
dent of the United States of America
an actress by profession, circum-
stance and Irresistible inclination.
That is all one need know to enjoy
the play"

When vamp
Meets Vamp.

Really, I'm not at all wicked"
said Constance Beaumer of the ru-
NOR that she was to send a challenge
to Theda Bara for the purpose of es-
tablishing her supremacy as . stage
vampire.
Miss Beaumar plays the captivating
vampire, MiIlette st. Gidon, in EVERY
Little Thing" at the Bslasco Theater
this week.
TT was all Mr.. Klein's idea Until
my present engagement, had always
played sweet girlish characters, and
when I protested that / could not do
justice to the role of Millette, he re-
fused to listen to my complaint and
consulted with the director, Mr.. Post.
-Theda Bara couldn't do better" said
Mr.. Post, and that settled the matter
so far as he was concerned and Mr..
Klein promptly outlined a contest be-
tween Miss Bara and myself and COM
municated with her manager.
Nov, 1 suppose I'll just have to go
through with It," and she rolled her
great hazel eyes in manner that
made one think the contest would be
very close. to say tho least.

fairs With Results Profitable
to the Tax Payers.

The high cost Of government has
supplied the supporters of Frank o.
Lowden the platform on which they
are confident he will be elected presi-
dent of the United States.
Governor Lowden was born on a
farm and worked his way through
school by teaching. He Is a product
of the Middle West, having been born
in Minnesota. raised in Iowa and then
coming to Chicago. He worked as a
clerk in a chicago law Office for SO a
week while preparing for his profess
sion. Later he entered politics. He
was thrice elected congressman from
the Thirteenth Illinois district before
voluntarily retiring.
He was elected governor of the
state in 1916 by a tremendous plu-
rality and his record as chief execu-
tive has put him in the list of presi-
Dental possibilities. Friends of the
governor explain that he had to be
dragged into the race for president
Certainly he does not seem to worry
about the outcome Of the campaign.
81 think one of the greatest needs
of the country today is stronger,
finer, happier Americanism," said Gov
ernor Lowden. "We can compel aliens
to respect our form Of government,
or get out, and that we must do. At
the same time we are under the pro-
found necessity of earning that re-
spect from all right thinking men. We
arr hearing strong preachments
against proffteering and extravaganza
Yet it is h" rdly dawning on the pub
lie mind that we can be paying excess
lively for government, as well as for
sugar, meat or fuel.
.Sllinois formerly had 125 separate
boards and commissions handling its
affairs. No one man, no score of men,
were responsible. A premium was
put on spending.
Under my administration these
bureaus have been consolidated into
nine depai tnents, whose chiefs reside
at the state capital and are held in
dividua'iy responsible. One effect of
this has been to reduce the tax rate
of the state 33 per cent in two years.
Adoption of budget system has been
a valuable adjunct In saving the tax
payers money. I think efficiency and
economy In government is one mighty
step In the direction of improved
Americanism."
