Starring in the Film
3 Women Loved Him.

she added, ais occupying the very suite
at the very hotel that | wanted for

oh, Virginia Lee. the actress, has that
one and it sounded so funny to me,
although I've known all along that
there was another Virginia Lee. But

Miss Lee is the star in Three Women
Loved Him. the first production Of the
Cayuga Picture Corporation.
Miss Lee didn't know a thing about
acting when she went on the screen
with George Walsh in Luck and
luCh- one was CHOSEN because she
was so pretty and she certainly is that
not unlike May Alison.
AS usual Howard Chandler Christy

he was best man when she married
Commander William Boyle, aboard the
L. S. S. Pennsylvania, not long ago.
Miss Lees sudden rise to fame was
result of her beauty rather than of
her histrionic ability though she does

went directly to starring in a Burton

last man has rushed through the iron
lock and the rising waters have closed
it forever to the young giant. Near
him floats his lunch box and he grasps
the rose and presses it to his lips
while the waters rise and end two
lives-the young mans and that of the
rose.
In the meanwhile the young wife is
seated in her humble kitchen making
pie with loving touches. Jim" she
inscribes on the crust. Then rose
petals fall upon the letters. 1t is De

Back home, in the village, another
powerful bit of symbolism is being en-
acted. Bitter in his loneliness, the de-
serted lover standing before the
dresser which was to have been his
wife's. picks up a pin cushion which
is fashioned like a clown. The clown
at the fair comes to mind. Through
the mirror leers the clown. The storm
that shakes the man is suggested as
his face fades out and a rocky coast,
buffeted by waves, and lit up with
flashes of lightning, comes to view.
The scene fades back to the scowling
face and, on the entrance of the house
keeper, sunlight scene becomes
stronger on the screen.
In the closing scenes of "Something
to Think About" there is series of
symbolic moments which are mastery.
The young mother and her boy have
had ali the comforts which wealth can
give them, but the love which she
hoped to revive in her husbands heart
is dead. When she lovingly sticks
flower in his buttonhole he removes it
and tells her that he no longer cares

Poses Query in SSThe Mirage''

In "The Mirage" Edgar Selwyn's

ideals to accept the love of an honest

years after she has come 20 New York.
as Mr.. Selwyn graphically tells it,
this girl. from Erie, Pa, is beginning
to feel the Tightening of the net she
has woven about her young life. She
has come to see that her sort of ex-
istence is but the mirage Of happiness
and not the real thing at all. With
every instinct of her smalltown train
ing and of her womanhood she has
begun to yearn for the thing every
good woman dcsires-the love o a
true man; home; children, and the
peace that is born of wholesome liv-
ing. VIII le realizing that she has
walked the road which leads away
from this sort of thing Renee has no
concept of the valley of agonized de-
cision into which it will ultimately
plunge her. Through three acts of
dramatic situations the author allows
her to work out her salvation and in
the doing lays bare to his audiences
the heart of a woman who has chosen
the cas- est way, that she may help
others, rather than for personal gain

her Thursday matinee if she thinks
Renee is right in the answer she gives
to the question which is the axis upon
which the story of The Mirage" turns.

her for success in great city" Miss

Congress as Provided BY
Resolution.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 8. - H. L.
Anderson, Assistant Chief Examiner
OF the Federal Trade Commission,
saws he wishes there were more time
available for preparing the report of
the Commissioner to Congress in the

cline in the price of certain leaf to-

Representatives last June. Mr.. An
edrson has direct charge of the leaf
tobacco investigation under personal
supervision of Mr.. Pollard, of Vir-
ginia, member OF the commission. The
matter is being handled through the
lnvestigative division of the legal de-
partment of the commission.
1t is stated by Mr.. Anderson that
this bureau has field agents operating
chiefly in Kentucky, Tennessee, Vir-
ginia and North Carolina, where in
formation is being collected as to the
price of leaf tobacco and the manner
in which the reduction of prices OF
certain leaf, in 1919 and 1920, was
brought about
While the primary purpose of Nhe
Fields resolution was understood to
be to look into the drop in prices OF
certain dark tobaccos and export to-
baccos in Kentucky and Tennessee
yet as the report of the House Com
lmittee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce on the resolutions pointed
out, the terms of the resolution wert
broad enough to cover all types of leat
