Pitted Against Wilson
Forces For Victory or
Political Death
HAS BACK TO THE WALL
Moist" Plank Agreed OF by Com
mittee Makes Situation Tense-
Awaiting Opening Fight

San Francisco, July i.-According
TO Administration chiefs the suHcom-
mi.tee Of nine, drafting the Democra-
&c platform. has practically agreed or
a prohibition plank which is described
as slightly moist and as being in sup
port of the Constitutional amend
ment." but with declarations for per-
soral l:0erty and against ''veXatiouS
interferences.
4 League of Nations plank. ths
same Administration chiefs said, has
been agreed upon Just as Woodrow
Wilson wants it, without the dating
Of an i or the crossing Of =.
Within IS hours William Jennings
Bryan Will have been crushed by the
Administration tank that is rambling
across the Democratic battle field here
or ne vii! have climbed 10 the drivers
seat. according to every indication on
he various fronts.
The fight between Bryan and Pres
Gert Wilson fer control Of the Demo
cratic convention became more in nsense
.oday with the report that Secretary
Of State Colby, representing the Prcsi-
den:. is working for damp Pla"k il"
the platform.
The Wilson and Bryan forces al
ready are engaged in bitter struggle
over the question Of whether the con
vcntion shall indorse the League CT
Nations, But even the League is ovc"-
Shadowed in Bryan's estimation by
the wet-dry iGst~.
The report that Colby favors We;
plank IS based. on the impression that
he Administration favors mod:fica
Jon of the Volstead act. Il will be re-
called that Wilson vetoed the Wartime
Prohibition act.
Colby is on the subcommittee acSaa'-
IS drafting the platform planks. whii2
Bryan is not. Therefore the latter Is
expected to save most Of his ammuni-
ton for the open fight which Is look
ed for on the convention floor when
the platform committee reports for ap-
proval there.

Weeps Real Tears.

IT is readily admitted that it takes a
clever actress to shed real tears.
Bertha Kalisch, Nine. Nazimova, Mar
garet Anglin and Ethel Barrymore
are noted for their ability to play
emotional roles which call for the
crying of real tears" There have
been many ways invented by the
geniuses Of stagecraft to show tears
streaming down the face, especially
in the movies" but the substitute is
rarely anything likessthe aO1tE inal,
and the acress wh0sAn really cry
during the portrayal Of part is
given a place Of distinction.
When Thomas ]. Gray was writing
little play for the use Of Jane and
Katherine Lee, the wonderful chill
dren who have proved a sensation
in the motion picture world. and are
now headlining in vaudeville. he
found it difficult to inject an emo
tional scene into his story. The Lee
children have made many successful
pictures. but the majority of them
have been comedy themes in which
little Jane, the youngest of the chill
dren. played the principal part.
The idea of giving an emotional
touch to the vaudeville sketch was
to show that little Jane really had
q serious side. The final scene of
"@The New Director" shows Jane cry
ing real tears and sobbing at the
bedside of her sister Katherine, who
Is supposed to be dying.

American and
English Audiences

'aT HAVE found that American and
- London audiences are equally ap-
preciative. but each has a different
style of showing it," says Lionel At
will.
tThe American public loves the the
afer and regards 1t as favorite form
of entertainment. 1t rarely fails to
applaud frequently anything that
Aeases it. A London audience. how
|zHer. usually shows its enjoyment of
play by remaining silent. for the
host part. and never demonstrating
i4s approval until the end of the play.
|f:"When / was in London l learned
Of an incident that is typical of a
London gallery audience. A certain
play was produced, and when the cur
tain fell on the first act there was a
little ripple of applause. At the end
of the second act there was a trifie
more hand-clapping. The end of the
third act, however, brought only
.scant applause, and when the curtain
fell on the last act a marked silence
ensued. After moment or two the
audience arose and the men helped
the ladies on with their wraps
AT this point fellow in the gallery
who had been leaning on the railing
throughout the entire performance
got up, gave a sniff, and said: Well,
goodnight, ALL"
