on the Pacific end of the frontier
between the two countries, it is said
in unofficial advices received here.
Official confirmation of these re-
ports, however, is lacking. Formal

More than 1000 men enrolled for
military service here yesterday and

The Panama canal zone admin

Monday between President Porras,
William Jennings Price, United

While the president has been

powers in mobilizing the Panaman
forces, the authority to declare wal

Writing Titles for Twain
Film Is a Delicate Job,
Modestly Done by Spence

Ralph Spence, motion picture editor
for William Fox, is the author of the
sub-titles in "A Connecticut Yankee at
King Arthur's Court" the picture play
now running at the Selwyn Theater.
Few men would relish the assignment
Of rewriting Mark Twain, but Mr..
Spence, who was trained in news
paper Office, knew better than to de-
cline an assignment. But it was a
delicate job.
In his foreword Sncnce describes
Mark Twain as zone who lived in no
greater hope than to leave to posterity
legacy of laughs" The audience is
given to understand that it could pay
no greater tribute to the humorist
than to live, love and laugh with the
audacious Connecticut Yankee 1t was
necessary to introduce the author in
closeup" yet any depressing effect
must be averted. Spence gained his
end BY saying in substance that every
Laugh would be a eulogy and the
greatest monument to the memory of
Mark Twain would be a mountain of
laughs.
At intervals come the printed words
that give tillip to the pictured story.
The action is by no means dependent
Tor humor upon the sub-titles, but it
IS safe to say that the honors for more
than a score of laughs go to Spence,
who finds angles on which to hang his
witticisms.

Elgar's oratorio, which has not been
sung by the Oratorio Society since 1914,
is based on Cardinal Newman's poem of
the same name. In 1865, under the
stress of emotion occasioned by the
death OF a dear friend, the Cardinal
wrote the poem. When the Birming-
ham choral festival committee re-
quested Sir Edward Elgar to compose
q new choral work this oratorio was
the result and was given first pro-
duction at the Birmingham festival in
1900.

Lew Fields, Delving
Into Dictionary, Finds
Jag Is a Load of Hay

Lew Fields, who has committed more
outrages on the English language than
any other comedian for the purpose of
getting laugh, is a serious student of
the dictionary, connoisseur of words.
In speaking, however, of the humor-
GUS side of the dictionary, Mr. Fields
cites few instances of the funniness
to be found here and there in the def
nitions. "For instance" said Lew, ain
Websters Collegiate Dictionary you
will find the definition for Jag to be
"a small load Of hay or grain Then
there is 'trot,' which is described as
four feet off the ground twice during
each stride
Somehow, ] feel that if this were
applied to the Broadway use of the
term there would be some sad results
on the dancing floor. In Webster's Ex-
celsior Dictionary one learns that pie

for food
III have often suspected there was
something in some of the pies | have
ordered, but only suspected it, and
never investigated. Then in Webster's
International one discovers that mez-
zotint is "a manner of engraving by
drawing on roughened surface and
removing roughness,' which sounds to
me very much like an Irish bull
Zone day, in looking up foreign
words, | found that picc dc resist
ance was the chief meat dish at din
ner,' which any one who has had to
eat at some of the hotels one finds on
the road will never doubt. And so it
goes. AS one goes through the die
tionary words take on odd meanings
from those we give them in our col
loquial talk or slang. The pastime is
amusing, but should be indulged in
moderately by serious-minded persons,
who feel they must get writ of

-Four years ago she was doing the con-

She previously had been in finishing
school and completed her education in
Paris. Those days in Paris were signifi-
cant in her life, for there she was un-
der the guidance of Nine Emma Eames
de Gogorza, her aunt, who maintained
salon and introduced her to the most
important personages in the social,
artistic and political worlds Perhaps
it was the recollection of such bril-
lance that made Miss Eames restless in
the midst of conventional society" She
suddenly decided that she was coming
to New York, and she came.
First there was course in dra-
matte school, Then she got a part in
Sophie" the Arthur Schnitzler one-act
play, which was done with others on an
assembled program at the Greenwich
Village Theater. Then and there she
received a favorable notice from Hey
wood Broun, who predicted on the
strength of her "bit" that she would be
a great actress. He, too, was justified
ON Monday night. But those were war
times; theatrical engagements were
most. uncertain, and Miss Eames was
compelled to take what she could get
ION the road" She played with Mar
garet Anglin for a period, that engage
ment having been obtained for her by
Livingston Platt, who believed in her
from the first. Then she played Queen
Elizabeth in "Freedom,'' pageant. at
the Century Theater in the fall of 1918.
"Declassee" followed, with "The Prince
and the Pauper" this season. Mr.. Har-
ris saw her in these last two plays and
so did Mr.. Drinkwater. The rest is
history.

and stage them. Then I went to
Europe, and visited the theatrical CEN
ters of England, France, Germany, Rus
sia and Italy. No one can be of much
service to the theater unless he has
developed broadness of vision and
catholicity of taste which come from
studying the culture and dramatic liter
ature of other and older countries.
After several years of travel l re-
turned to New York and became asso-
ciated with the Shuberts, where l tried
my hand at everything from publicity
work to playproducing.
"When / thought the time ripe for

good entertainment qualities, for l am
what you might call practical idealist
of the theater. ] believe in doing
worth while things, but doing them in
a way that will attract and please the
general public. / picked THE Tyr
amy of Love- because it had achieved
greater popular success than any other
play of the French theater in the last
twenty years, ana at the same time 1t
was recognized as classic Of modern
high comedy. Other managers had
fought shy of this play because of its
sensational intrigue and daring dia-
logue, but l believed that New York
had now become as sophisticated as
Paris or London, and the reception ac-
corded my authentic and unexpurgated
version of The Tyranny of Love
proves that am right.
"The successful play is the play that
faithfully mirrors life in it's most in
teresting phases. In The Tyranny of
Love- the universal theme is handled
with that fine skill and deep knowledge
of which the French alone are capable,
| for their writer's excel in analyzing the
psychology of love. Torto- Richie is a
master of the Ecole dAmour, and the
7 absorbing interest which his play has
aroused among American audiences, as
we'll as in all parts of Continental Eu-
rope, attests the universally of his
art"
Mr.. Baron expects to send two com
panies of "The Tyranny of Love" on
tour in the fall, and also is arranging
for London presentation of his play.
In addition he has plays by Hervieu,
Capus and Giacosa which he intends to
produce during the coming season.

Making Oceans Floor
Safe for Makers of
Motion Picture Plays

Motion picture stages are usually
dry-land affairs. Sometimes actors
arc called upon to perform on the So
called bounding MAN," yet they are
still dry under foot, in so far as they
are on shipboard. But now through
the ingenuity of J. Ernest Williamson,
the motion picture actors stage has
been extended to include the bottom of
the ocean as a perfectly safe place in
which to be heroic or villainous, accord
ing to the directions of the scenario.
The application of photography to
