Little Rock, Ark, July 16.-For the

Ringing.

London, July l6.--Women campan-
ologists, or bellies of the bells, are
seeking to rival men in the ancient
and honorable occupation Of change
ringing.
There was one woman delegate,
Miss f. X. Parker, at the all-Eng-
land conference of bell-ringers held
in the Church house, Westminster,
recently, one among 20 men. She
represented 200 women, who are
members of the Ladies Guild OF
Change Ringers. Miss Parker her
self is the most skillful woman bell
ringer is the world. She has been
ringing for II years. but declares
she has still great deal to learn OF
the art.
1--WE have members of our guild
in all parts of the country" said
Miss Parker, "and are gaining new
recruits every day. Women are TAX
ing up ringing seriously, and are
finding it most fascinating.
"At present there is no all-woman
band of bell-ringers, but we are
arranging to form one to play this
summer in a London church. There
is no reason why women should not
make as good ringers as the best
of the men,"

Jack PickfOrd to
Stage "COme-Back'
In Popular Play

| Jack Pickford is about to become
"The Tailor-Made Man."
His mother, Mrs. Charlotte Pick
ford, recently purchased the screen
rights for this famous stage play and
Jack will star in it as soon as he
and Alfred E. Green finish direct
ing Mary, his sister, in Little Lord
Fauntleroy," which Miss Pickford
is now making at the Brunton stu
dio in Los Angeles.
Ever since his appearance in Gust
Out of College," Jack Pickford has
been appearing behind the camera as
a director instead of in front of it
as an actor. His appearance in "The
Tailor Made Man." therefore, will be
somewhat in the nature of come
back" to the screen.
It is reported that Mrs. Pickford
paid 100000 for the new starring We
hicle for her son.
Alfred E. Green, who directed Jack
in his late features, and who is col
laborating with the youthful director
star in the direction of his famous
sister, will WELD the megaphone when
Jack steps in front of the camera as
"The Tailor Made Man"
This play was a distinct Cohan
success on Broadway with Grant
Mitchell in the principal role, and
is unquestionab1y an ideal vehicle
for Jack Pickford. Present plans are
to film this feature while Mary is
between pictures" thus enabling
Jack to avail himself of Miss Pick
ford's entire organization, including
Charles Kosher, her camera man, rat
ed as the best in the business.

Rialto-"Society Snobs" and "Gilded
Lies"

Rialto-"Society Snobs" and "Gilded
Lies"
G(COCIETY SNOBS," the latest
- Selznick picture which comes
- to the Rialto theater today
for four days, Is one of the frankest
exposures of society as represented
by the nouveau richie, ever screened.
The Foresters have so recently
risen from obscurity to riches that
Mother Forester wishes to hitch their
social reins to foreign nobleman
through the marriage of her daugh-
ter, Vivian, with the popular belief
that title is the solution of all
smart set supremacy.
Her carefully laid plans, in spite of
every safeguard, come to naught and
her social aspirations tumble to earth
amidst the amused, unsympathetic
jeers of the social world. Then
daughter takes the shaping of des-
tiny into her own hands and brings
the story to satisfactory close.
Conway Tearle is the star in this
picture, and the direction was under
Hobart Henley. Martha Mansfield
plays opposite Mr.. Tearle, and the
supporting cast includes such we'll
known players as Ida Darling, Jack
Mclean, Huntley Gordon and 9TH
ers.
TN "Gilded Lies" the Selznick pic
ture at the Rialto Thursday,
Eugene O'Brien, in the role of
Keene McComb, has a part which
gives him splendid opportunities for
the display of keen analytical char
acterization, of which he takes the
fullest advantage.
The story concerns the interrupted
romance of young explorer who
has gone to win fame for the sake
of his fiancee. During his absence
she marries a gross charlatan who
has been passing himself off as a
very wealthy man. Immediate dis
illusionment follows the wedding,
and when McComb returns, bent on
revenge, his former sweetheart is so
utterly miserable that he changes his
mind and devotes his efforts toward
her acknowledgement. Before this is
effected, however, both undergo the
depths of humiliation and misery.
Supporting Eugene O'Brien in
"Gilded Lies" is Martha Mansfield,
the famous beauty of screen and
stage, and other well-known players.

they would not dream OF doing in

"young women were proud OF shows

But how can the girls of today show
