POLA NEGRE AS
HAREIN BEAUTY
Mammoth Settings Used in "One Ara
bian Nisht"-orientaI Palaces
Constructed.

One Of the most gorgeous spectacles
ever. reproduced on the motion picture
screen is to be seen at the Isis theater
on Thursday and Friday. It is zone
Arabian Night" an Associated First
National attraction starring Po1a Ne
gri, who thrilled America with her per-
formanees in Passion" and Gypsy
Blood"
The claim is made for zone Arabian
Night" that a complete oriental city,
modelled after old Bagdad, was con-
structed for it. and Manager Jones,
who has seen the picture screened de-
clared it has every appearance of be-
ing the real thing.
"The buildings and. interior settings
Of this picture" he said, "are among
the most magnificent I have ever seen.
The story is an imaginative one, found
ed on the glories and the romance OF
the Arabian nights, and necessarily
called for some gorgeous palace scenes,
draperies, rugs and costumes. There
may have been pictures with more
beautiful women in them than zone
Arabian Night has. but I doubt it.
There must be at least hundred love-
ly young women playing the role Of
harem girls in the palace of the sheik
and they are surrounded with some of
the richest, most exotic scenery have
ever laid eyes on"
Pola Negri who flashed across the
theatrical horizon like an artistic comet
a few months ago, is even more fasci-
mating in this production than she was
in Passion" or Gypsy Blood" She
plays the part of a dancing girl. born
and bred on the Arabian desert, I'M
tanned and unmanageable imbued with
the spirit and grace of a goddess. She
dances with the tigerish rhythm of the
oriental and does it with the utmost
art.
Pola Negri formerly was one of the
favorite dancers of the Imperial Rus
sian ballet at Petrograd before the fall
of the empire. Seeing her dance in
this picture, it is easy to believe that
she was one of the stars of that great
dancing organizat ton which gave the.
world PavIowa and other famous terp-|
sichorean artists.
Ernst Lubitsch, the master dire 1tor
Of Passion" also produced zone Ara

ing male role. that Of a bunch back

his slave girl dancer, but is rejected

In the world When Sprasue asked
Burch the motive for confding In him,
the prisoner replied
1t gives q man a certain amount OF
relief to express himself"
Burch and Mrs. Obenchain later de-
MED the allegations in Sprague's
article.
Sprague, in his article published yes
terday morning, stated he had promised
not to make Burch's alleged confession
public until he was forced to do so,
under oath, and that he regarded a
summons before the Grand Jury yester-
day as releasing him from the promise.
According to Sprague's. article, which
he read before the Grand Jury yester-
day, Burch is alleged to have told
Sprague that he shot Kennedy because
1t was the only way to remove an
evil influence over Mrs. Obenchain.
According to Sprague's article, Burch
sought to aid Mrs. Obenchain to leave
Los Angeles and she first consented,
but later said that she could not leave
Kennedy. Burch told her then, accord
ing to Sprague's narrative, that some
alternative must be taken. She con-
sented, Burch said, according to the
article, and added that Burch had bet
ter "get" Kennedy.

has heartily approved curtailmcnt. 90
as to promote the happiness Of man
kind, Japan is willing to make efforts
to establish some arrangement with the
Powers.
S Japan believes, frst, that it is
against the fundamental spirit Of the
Washington conference that any Power
should possess superior forces sufficient
to secure a decisive victory over any
other Power or Powers. Therefore, the
Powers should minimize the scope OF
armament to the same degree as that
of the country having the smallest
naval strength among the Powers con-
cerned.
"second, the Powers concerned shall
not establish any naval base or make
any arrangement to. serve as naval
bases for their naviep on the Pacific"
Concerning the second provision, the
Asahi Shimbun says that the naval
officials originally suggested that forti-
fed islands In the Pacific should be
prohibited, but this was amended as
above.
Furthermore, continues the paper,

Japan wants to suggest that limitation
should be put on future warship con-
struction after a certain year, TO be
named, because destruction of existing
warships or suspension Of construction
on those building would involve incon-
venicnce. Also the period for the COM
pletion Of previously planned vessels
should be extended. For example, IL 10
pointed out, the United States should
extend her three-year program over a
longer period, thereby regulating the
augmentation Of her naval strength.
Concerning seaplanes, submarines

Ts AIiay jap Suspicion
Eow beyond these rather meager
specific details there 10 Inevitably
one major gain which Of itself
would give enduring value 10 the
work of the Washington conference.
We are dealing with dynamite No
one can mistake that In the Far
East collision between the
United States and Japan has seemed
not only possible but at least TO
the European observers. Increasing
ly probable Japan has viewed the
course of the present administra-
ton in calling the Washington con-
ference with suspicion. apprehen-
sion and a good deal of more or
less restrained hostility. To the
Japanese mind the United States
seems TO be undertaking a policy
designed to restrict the Japanese
future. and this has been the more
true because the United States pol
icy has been disguised by such
vague terms as the open door"
and -the integrity OF China" A
translation rather than a definition
of these terms, together with a
recognition on the part OF the
United States OF japanese freedom
Of action IN those areas which I
have specified would. IL seems to
me, do much TO remove this sus-
picion and apprehension.
In the last analysis. II is not the
limitation Of ornaments: Il is the
removal OF mutual suspicion which
will contribute 20 make peace. And
II the United States and Japan can
adjust or reconcile their views in
the Pacific, the greatest present
peril TO world peace will be elimi-
mated
There remains still another ques-
ton. yet another problem still more
complex. I find that almost with
out exception my English friends
who have come here 10 the confer
ence. hope 10 see some kind Of
Anglo American association in the
Pacific, and more exactly some
kind OF Anelo-American-J panese
partnership looking toward the re-
Mobilization OF Chinese finances
Needless to say political action
would almost inevitah bly, follow
such combination. In the British
mind this supplies an easy and per
haps the best avenue OF escape
from the Anglo-Japanese alliance,
which has become the target OF
American criticism.
1t is easier to believe that the
