HARDING AND HAYS
CONFER ON CABINET
Get Down to'Brass Tacks in
Make-Up-Serious Prob
lens Considered.
BY the Associated Press.


81. AUGUSTINE, Fla, February
la.-President- Harding and his
campaign manager, Will H. Hays,
chairman of the republican national
committee. got down to brass tacks
today in final pre-inauguration con-
ference on the makeup of the cab
met and the first steps of the coming
administration.
Mr, Hays generally is considered
by those close to the President elect
as likely choice for a place in the
cabinet, and his position as the ~titu-
lar head OF the party gives him., in
addition. an influential voice in the
determination OF many questions in
voIvlng both patronage and policies.
Mr Harding was in conference with
him the greater part of the day, and,
although no definite announcement
was made, it was indicated that the
most serious problems ahead of the
sideration.
Places still Uncertain.
The postmaster generalship has been
regarded as the most probable ap-
pointment for the party chairman. but
there still are number of unknown
quantities in the cabinet situation
which make, the final allotment OF
places more or less uncertain. Two
or three of those who have been
asked to take cabinet places have yet
to send in definite acceptances and the
secretaryship involved may. have to
be filled by last minute shift of
men whose status has heretofore been
regarded as fixed. That is one of the
contingencies that the President-elect
is understood to have discussed with
Mr.. Hays.
Harry NJ. Daugherty, the Harding
preconvention manager, is to be here
tomorrow for a similar discussion.
and before the week is out other
prospective cabinet members are to
give Mr. Harding their views on the
best cabinet material Mr.. Daugherty
generally is regarded as the Harding
first choice for the attorney general
ship.

it is magnificent. I.ubitsch brings
history 10 life and turns dead and
gone figures into human beings. It
is an old saying that the public does
not want historical dramas and that
no one will go TO see costume PLAYS
But If you want to find out exactly
how popular are these canned sub
jects, go to the LaSalle and see De
ceptiOn.' You Will find that most
Of the patrons are ten times more
interested in an historical drama
than they are in the average brand
OF picture, handed out by directors
who have neither educational back
grounds or imagination. The pic
ture defies another rule of routine
production, it ends tragicauy The
only quarrel that those who saw DE
ception" had with the picture was
that Z ended too soon. Most of the
IaSalle patrons would have been
happy If Lubitsch had gone on and
filmed the rest Of English history
Just as a spectacle Deception" is
worth seeing. But like Passion"
it's chief charm for distinction lies
in the fact that it tells a fascinating
story. Lubitsch has rebuilt the Lon !
don Of the early Tudor days: the de- |
tails of costumes, the settings and I
the court manners in Deception" |
are little short of marvellous. The
feature is the perform !
ance OF King Henry, given by Emil /
Jannings. Mr.. Jannings portrays /
Henry as a hard drinker, a hard !
eater a crude humoTist, a gross SEN
sualiSt. an adventurous youth, an ar /
rogant sovereign. high handed I
ruler and a great king. AS you can /
see it is considerable performance. |
Mr.. Jannings makes /
Henry such a likable reprobate that /
one has scant sympathy for Anna. |
who was a silly flirt a nagging wife |
and a poor excuse for queen The |
picture tries to direct sympathy in |
her direction, but Henry, the great |

tractive woman and a fine actress, |
especially in her tragic scenes. The 1

BLACKSTONE

Why is il that a jealous person
Will allow his suspicious TO point to
the most unprepossessing individuals
at times? A husband or wife well
endowed by nature with both phys
zeal and mental graces will become
insanely jealous over the homeliest
and most undressing person whom
they happen to fancy their help
mate is interested in. Mack Sennett
in Married Life" utilizes these
strange facts by having Jimmie Fin
layson insanely jealous of Phyllis
Haver's interest in poor old cross
eyed Ben Turpin. The absurdity of
it all is one of the big laughs in
this mirthful picture. which has it's
final showings tomorrow night. The

a Sennett thrill preluding a Sennett
