Marcus Loew. theater magnate,

last Tuesday morning. Loew was
en- route from Los Angeles to New
York when he received a telegram
telling Of the birth of a grandson.
The youngster is the son of David
Loew and as soon as the theater
man reached New York, he made
a mad rush from the train to the
hospital. where he took his first per-
sonally conducted look at the new
est member of the Loew family.
Loew incidentally expressed him
self as highly pleased with the
Metro Film Corporation properties
in Los Angeles which have recently
been acquired by the Loew interests.

country pugilist whose frank tongue
and loyal heart remain to him from
a Bowery boyhood. The play is
in his own line, and will be pro-
duced in the genuine Ray style

Sometimes you hear it said of a
certain woman: she wears her
clothes we'll" French women. for
example, have established a tradi-
tion for chic they seem to pos
sess the ability to wrap themselves
in a burlap bag and still look raw
fishing. In a lesser degree the same
thing may be said of certain men,
that they know how to wear their
clothes And the extraordinary
part of it is that it is a knowledge
that simply cannot be acquired
either one has it or one hansn't il:
it can't be learned. There are men
who enlist the services of the best
tailers, Wallets and other sartorial
experts, and when they're all dressed
and ''pretied up" they look as
though they were wearing some
body else's clothes. Then there Is
the man who can slip into mail

Main street and come home with -
collection of feminine hearts dang
ling from his belt.
Such a man is Owen Moore. Not
that Owen buys his clothes via the
mail route. Far from 1t. 1t would

thought, but the keenest ear
couldn't detect the faintest hiss in
the Amsterdam Opera House when
the dance was done there. Every
body says the Americans are an
misunderstanding lot; and IL must
be true.
Many of the wiseacres are try.
ing to induce Fokine to give a
presentation of the Nijinsky dance.
They tell Fokine that it is neces-
sary, in order to win an American
audience over to real art. IL is most
essential to first hold out as a bait
a spicy bit, like the dance in ques-
ton. Whether they really believe
what they say. or whether they wills
to satisfy their own wish to see
the Faun here is ON knowing, but
the fact remains that Fokine re.
fuses to believe them.
As a recruiting proposition the Unit.
ed States Marines have put out two

PRESIDENT OF FRANCE
HAS REAL BATH TUB

For the first time in the history OF
the Elysee Palace, the President OF
the Republic is able to bathe in a
real bath tub. President Millerand
insisted that the French White
House keep pace with progress by
installation of comfortable porce-
lain tub, with hot and cold water,
instead of the shallow metal tubs,
wherein Wallets poured the water fer
the bath from antique pitchers.
The president has officially takell
possession of his new home, and has
visited every room with his family.
He has selected the room used by
former presidents as a library, and
which overlooks the rose garden,
as his personal office and has direct
ed the decoration of the so,nbre
walls, which will have gaily co'or-
ed, costly tapestries.
It is being remarked that at last
France has a president who is strong
for family life. President Miller
and has four children, each Of
whom will need one of the daily re
ception rooms for a bed room, fol
the Elysee, like most buildings of its
time and type, was constructed with
an eye to public functions and very
little regard to the domestic require
ments of the family.

Washington, 3Oct. O.-Gerrhan-
made goods are again arriving at
Leeds, Engladn, OH a considerable
scale, and dealers are stocking them
FOR the Christmas season, according
to Vice Consul Cipriani's cable to the
Department of Commerce.
Toys, fancy goods, and cheap clocks
form the principal German imports,
German competition is being felt
with particular severity in the toy
line, as this industry came into being
IN England largely during the war,
and had developed a good market in
the absehce of Continual competition
Many of the smaller British concerns
are closing down, it is stated.
Average German prices are about
100 per cent. over pre-war figures, the
German toymakers now selling under

SILENT 10 YEARS; GIVEN
FREEDOM; REFUSES TO TALK

Boston, Oct. 28.-Patrick j.
"Corky" Hanley ended a twenty
five year sentence at the state pen
itntiary today against his will and
maintained to the last silence be-
gun ten years ago. He had asked,
in writing, that he he allowed to
stay on for a few days more to fin
ish some work, but his sentence
having expired, Warden Shattuck
put him out.
At the state house to which he
was taken by the warden nhis first
automobile ride, he was asked if he
was ready to talk. Hanley stood
mute then reached out for a pencil
and pad, nd wrote, cant.
He took a VOW of silence ten
years ago after a fellow convict had
retold something he said, and al
though parole was offered him sew
eral times if he would voice a re-
quest for it, he refused.
Hanley was committed to prison
as a habitual criminal from Law
renee in 1895 after he was found
guilty of stealing s84 worth Of
shoes.
