CHARLES RAY HAS
STRENUOUS BATTLE
IN NEW PICTURE
Fistic Encounter In .Croo k e d

for Three Days While Star
Recovered

Charles Ray has one of the most
strenuous fights of his screen career
In the Thomas H. Ince ph0t0play,
Crooked Straight which comes to
the Casino Theater Saturday. And
Mr.. Ray has had some fights in the
past. This one, however, laid him up
for three days. The scene takes place
on, a stairway, and after a dramatic
struggle Charlie is knocked down by
his opponent. He falls the full length
Of the stairs and several feet beyond
the foot. The wind was completely
Knocked out of him and he had to be
picked up and helped to comfortable
chair after the camera quit grinding.
That scene ended work for several
days. The result on the screen justi-
fed the price, Mr.. Ray thought, as it
Is q fine bit of realism.
Talk about your ring fights such
as had in The Egg Crate Wallop, {"
said Mr.. Ray, "a regular ring battle
is nothing compared with one of these
rough-and-tumble scraps on stairs.
With all my training with the gloves
In the gymnasium and the grilling

tain one-third the bruises that did in
this one. I'm glad it is done. | do
hope the public appreciates tina TALL

have broken several bones, to say

School Issue May Hurt
Van Schaick's S Chances :.
of Beinq Commissioner

The issue between Rev. John Van
Schaick, jr, and other members OF the
board of education on the one hand
and Supt. Thurston of the schools on
the other. is likely to have an effect
upon the disposition by the Senate of
the nomination of DR.. Van Schaick to
be District Commissioner, 1t was said
at the Capitol today.
While members Of the Senate Dis
trict committee were reluctant to al
low themselves to be quoted. on the
matter. the general opinion of those
who have been opposing the confirma-
tion OF DR.. Van Schaick was that this
new situation in the school system
would react against DR.. Van Schaick
1t was pointed out that undoubtedly
the friends of Supt. Thurston would
now align themselves with the oppo-
nents of the confirmation of DR.. Van
Schaick's nomination as Commits
sioner.
However. some of the senators on
the committee who voted to report the
nomination favorably said they did
not believe that the controversy be-
tween the board and the superintend-
ent of schools would hurt the chances
of DIR. Van Schaick. In fact, one of
his supporters said:
Il am more inclined than ever to ia
vor the confirmation Of DR.. Van
Schaick."
This is a reflection Of feeling among
some of the members Of the commit
tee against Supt. Thurston.

I was glad indeed that Lillfan's music
was drowning the sound Of the CONVEX
sation. She was playing a gay little
hunting song, one of Memberships
songs without words, playing it with
spirit and expression, which made up
for the evident lack OF technic she
possessed.
Dicky was turning her music de-
votedly. He had rushed TO her side
as soon as she had seated herself at
the PIANO. The sight made me realize
anew how inconsistent my husband
was.
1 could imagine his amazement and
his wrath if 1 were to show my jealous
pain at his attentions to this old friend
of his. And yet he had made scene
after scene about Jack Beckett. my
cousin, whom had seen only once
since his return from South America
