THEATRES
Way Down East

d. w. Grifith's eighth art wonder
spectacle, Way Down East" is the
attraction announced for today and
tomorrow at the Majestic Theatre,
where it begins a special engage
ment of two days with matinees
every afternoon and another per-
Torrance each night following the
opening performance.
As is quite well known this WON
derful evolution of dramatic effects is
based upon the original story by
Lottie Blair Parker which as a play
toured the country for many years
with unvary ing success. 1t is a tale
of human hearts and rural conven-
lions unfolded in a simple, soul
reaching way. 1t develops amidst
scenes of pastoral charm and sleepy
beauty covering the four seasons of
the year in that section of America
where liberty was Graded. Lowing
herds in dreamy meadows are re-
Elected in the sheen of silvery brooks
which arouse murmurs of delight in
every audience before which it is
shown and frames an atmosphere for
its larger details which cannot be re-
sisted. AS subtle as is it's charm there
Is a deeper and more incisive note
In its sound moral arguments leading
to the establishment of right after
much travail and unhappiness on the
part of its protagonistS.
Griffith is not a preacher. He is an
illustrator of fundamentals which
find their rarest expression in this
enlargement of a play whose worth
was long since proven. These deft
touches with which he drives home
his expressions round out a new art
form in impelling grandeur and with
mighty nature at war with stern hu-
man experiences he attains a climax
in the great storm scene and the ice
foe on the river which for sheer
dramatic sweep is the greatest thing
ever seen within the four walls of a
theatre.

When Little Mary started
Though the Back Door," her new
picture, showing at the Ditmas, she
had as an important member of the
cas- juvenile dachund small
enough to fit in the pocket of her
apron. But dachund puppies have
a bad habit of growing faster than
Jack-the-Giant-Killer's proverbial
beanstalk, and when the picture
neared the final scenes, the dachund
was no longer a "pocket-size pup"
All OF which caused great conster-
nation in the Mary Pickford Com
pany. 1t became necessary to make
some "re-takes" and 'close-ups"
with the dachund as he used to be,
in the pocket edition size.

Jane COWI Coming

Allan Langdon Martins "Smilin'
Through" starring Jane Cowl-
W )hderful emotional actress that
h is. and today considered the
equal of our foremost stars, both in
art and in the matter of drawing
record houses-with the inspiration
al message of love as the dominating
cosmic force, opens a one night per-
Torrance Tuesday night, June Z, at
the Majestic theatre.
The play is unusual of the few
which have had their birth in the
new spirituality which have come
from the war stree and trends to
some extent on the spiritualistic
ideas which have been SO much con-
sidered since that time. The play
Is known to be of undoubted appeal,
with a fascination which is impelling
and a grip which arrests and holds
the attention.
Jane Cowl does the best work of
her career-a career which started
the night on Broadway when she
appeared in the role of Mary Turn
er in within the Law" Never have
local playgoers been afforded an op-
portunity to witness this splendid
actress in any of her original roles,
and because of this, local playgoers
are displaying much interest in the
PICocIiI cllclll. Az hdlHleen
In "Smilin' Through Miss Cowl is a.
high-spirited, warm-hearted, lovable
Irish girl, true to the love she has
found in the soldier boy, with an
honesty that is recognized at once
as invincible and unyielding. With
all her love for and devotion to her
uncle, her love for the soldier boy
comes first, as she declares, and
there is any doubt in a most
appealing story that she will follow
it's call. There is a light touch of
Irish ebullience with its wit, and
humor in her Characterization, the
self-reliance, determination. courage
a4.u womanliness of such a girl. 1t
Is a most unusual story, enacted only
as an actress of Miss Cowl's talents
could possibly do for the pleasures
of every audience. Since Miss Cowl
has reached the height of her brill
liant career in this role, the antici-
patton Of the pleasures is great.

Doggy and Billy gaaed with admir-
i lug eyes upon the ashman's auto
mobile. They had thought the nshlnan
q very poor man, and here was n motor :
car ~ fine looking as any on the street
II had blu" body and yellow wheels,
and top with plate glass window III

"You have very rich car" said
Billy.
"Ha. Ha! Ha. a person is lucky
10 be an ashman." laughed the ashman.
'"This isn't one cart is whole hock
of cars"
Then he went on TO explain how he
had made the cur himself, taking parts
of old cars that had been dragged away
to the junk pile. Zone car had good
engine, but smashcd-up frame, while
another car had worn out engine but
u solid though weathprworn frame that
didn't have any wheels. | put the good
engine in the solid frame, found wheels
from other cars, put on n top found
somewhere else. painted everything up,
and here ] have Il fine car--all made
out Of machines that had been cast aside
as no good
Peggy and Billy thought the ashman
had been very clever to make q new car
in that way. And it hadn't cost him
anything hut the use of his wits and a
little hard work.
The ashman piled toys into the auto
until it looked like Santa Claus sleigh

HUMAN FACE AS A BEACON
"Shine" Thrown of, at Distance of Several Miles.

NOvelists that speak of a face lighting up" put down an actual truth that few of them are aware of or in- tend. One of the most delicate in- struments in the world, radlometer, records the "shine" of human face, and can do 1t at distance of several miles. So delicate is the instrument that 1t can detect and record the glim- mer of candle half a mile away, and if there were no atmospheric obstruc- tion 1t could detect the same candle 16 miles away. The instrument consists of two thin glass disks, one polished and one blackened, suspended by . quartz thread In vacuum. Waves of radiant energy striking this instru- ment disturb it's balance, because the bright disk reflects them, while the black one absorbs them.
 While the human face to the nor nal eye gives out no waves of radiant energy, the fact remains that con- stant flow of energy is being thrown off, and these waves travel an un- known distance. Although the radio meter is wonderful and delicate in- strument, there is thermal couple ten times as sensitive as the radiome- ter and 1t can detect the heat of . candle 60 miles distant.

Harding Dislikes Army
 Reduction Bill as Planned

Washington, June 30.-A final ef- fort to obtain additional leeway for the army in the matter of appropria- tions was made by President Harding today, but without avail.
 He summoned Senator Borah of Idaho, Speaker Gillett, Majority Lead CT Mondell and Representative Green of Vermont to the White House and talked over with them the provisions of the army appropriation bill, which limits the size of the army to 150,000 men and provides that there shall be no deficiency expenditures by the War Department during the next fiscal year.
 { It is said that the president urged the advisability of eliminating the provision against deficiency expendi- lures, thus making it possible for the secretary of war to go ahead and spend the money he deemed necessary for the army and later to ask Con- gross to appropriate the money. This 7 deficiency prohibition was Borah amendment to the army bill.
 The congressional leaders, however, r advised the president that it would be impossible to eliminate this pro- vision It is said that the president declared he was thinking seriously of vetoing the army bill and sending fit back to Congress. To this Senator Borah is said to have replied that 1 if the bill were vetoed Congress prob. | ably would cut the measure still fur ther, so as to provide for not more than 100000 men.
 Later in the day 1t was announced at the White House that the presi. dent would sign the bill. It is ex- pected however, that he will send g message to the House deploring the fact that the appropriations for the army had not been larger and such | as to more adequately meet the needs of the country for national defense. r Secretary Weeks of the War De. partment attended the conference al l the White House and added his plea
  generous treatment be accorded the army.
