JaeIkie Coogan Makes
Hit in "Peck's Bad
Boy" at Spence,

sPeck's Bad Boy" is the only pic
m work Jackie Coogan has done
ance Charlie Chaplin discovered
I'm and produced 1.-THE Kid. His
work in that feature appealed TO
Irving Lesser as especially fitting
him for the title role In "Peck's
IA Boy" and after making ar
Iangsments with Warner Brothers
~ continuity was prepared espe-
eially for Jackie and the picture
Huduced. In itself, critics have
1Dclared that production Is an epic
x boyhood days, but in addition to
hat the sensational record estab-
lbhed by THE Kid" has made
jAckie Coogan one of the greatest
tiswing personalities on the screen
today. The youngster is in New
lbfk at the present time and 1t has
ooen reported that his father has
ytfused offers for his services run
ing as high as $500 a week.
The negotiations for the produc-
~ are probably the shortest on
t6erd for an affair of such magni-
- The production was shown
1.-THE first time anywhere, outside
" cutting room Of the studio, to
erals of Associated First Nation
d Pictures on April 10. At that
the no arrangements had been
nade for the distribution Of the
Dgpduction by Mr.. Lesser. "Peck's
I'D Boy" is now showing at the

Douglas Fairbanks
Modern DArtagnan
In New Picture

Where is the chivalry Of long
ago, when knights fought to death
for their ladies fair? Where is the
chivalry Of D'Artagan, the famous
and gallant? Though
slumbering al these years It has
been awakened and will be shown
at the Majestic theatre Sunday only
when Douglas Fairbanks latest
production, "A Modern Musketeer,"
released by AIRCRAFT. is presented.
As modern D'Artagnan, Fair
banks is an ideal type, dashing,
athletic and fearless. The flashing
sword Of the romantic period is re-
placed by the powerful left jab
and the mighty right hook. and in
the more sensational encounters
with the trusty six-shooter. The
spirit is there, however, and Fair
banks battles for his lady love in .
manner to arouse the envy OF the
famed Dumas hero.
No whinnying charger carries his
doughty rider to the fray, but the
modern fiivver comes in timely
need, and proves much more serv-
iceable in annihilating distance.
Fairbanks plays the part Of Ned
Thacker Of Kansas, who, through
prenatal influence inherited the
spirit of D'Artagnan. Before he was
born his mother religiously read
Dumas, hoping that the stork would
deliver the rincarnation of D'Artag-
nan, q boy who might be chivalrous
as her idol.
Much comedy arises as the gal
lantry of the youth is misunder-
stood, and his impetuosity in sue
coring females in real or fancied
distress places him in embarrass-
ing situations.

Charles Ray IN
New Youth Role
at the Rialto

In Nineteen and Phyllis,"
Charles Rays third Independent
production, which is coming to the
Rialto theatre on Sunday, for m
engagement today, several
scenes take place on the roof Of a
cottage. Mr.. Ray is called upon to
capture a burglar-which role is
played by DeWitte C. Jennings
who has climbed to the roof in
order to be in q secluded spot, but
he is discovered and a lively COM
bat takes place, which results in
the pair rolling OF the roof.
AS the popular star did not relish
tn idea Of falling 26 feet from the
top of a matched bungalow to the
ground below, a novel scheme was
perfected. After the. necessary
scenes for the bungalow were taken
on location at Sawtelle, Cal, an

Japanese Want TO Save
7Uo More Capital Ships
Proposal to Increase the Mini
NUN. From 10 to IL and In
cludc Ne1p MutsN Predicted

TOXIC, Nov. 16 (By The Associated
Prcss).-Thc "Hochi Shimbun" under
stands that Japan will propose at the
Washington conference that in the list
of capital ships to be retained by
Japan, as outlined in Secretary
Hughes's plan, the Mutsu (to be COM
missioned in December) shall be sub
stituted for the Settsu, and that the
number of capital ships be increased
from ten to twelve, by the addition of
the Kago and Tosa. now in course Of
building. The paper, however, adds
that "in view of the fact that America
proposes the scrapping Of some Of her
own capital ships nearing completion,
it is doubtful if she will consent to
Japan's proposition.
'The navy strongly holds to the neces-
sity of at least including the new
Mutsu in the list Of ten," the paper
continues.
The evening papers say that owing
to the receipt Of the official text Of
the Hughes plan only on Monday even
ing. the Cabinet council on Tuesday
merely supplied the outline for publ
cation. The Japanese delegates at
Washington have forwarded message
asking for instructions, which are
likely to assume the form Of a counter
proposal, after a joint study of the
plan by the Foreign Office and the
naval authorities.
New-York tribune., 1921-11-17

thought Of the American delegates
Themselves, that even il there is never
spoken word on the subject Great
Britain could never be a passive spec
tator to the seizure Of the Philippines
by Japan. The thought underlying
this is that Australia and New Zealand
would regard such an occupation as n
very real menace to themselves. IL is
pointed out that the Canadians. who
sympathize entirely with the South Sen
dominions on the Japanese issue, and
with regard to aligning themselves
with the United States on any contrc-
versy, naturally would take Tho Aus
tralian side of such an issue, and that
Great Britain would find herself vir-
tually compelled to intervene.
One of the biggest surprises in the
Chinese demands is that there is no
reference to Manchuria, although every
single discussion about the whole Chi
nese problem held in Washington in
the last several days has centered on
that province, sometimes varied by
the inclusion of Mongolia.
1t is tho more surprising because
the understanding has been that the
gradual working together OF minds
toward a solution of the Pacific and
Far Eastern questions has included, ac-
cording to the understanding here,
what has seemed to be the necessity Of
yielding to Japan's demands that the
status quo be maintained in Manchuria,
even thought she might withdraw from
the eighteen provinces commonly re-
ferred to as China proper.

be confident of obtaining much, will
probably consider themselves trium-
phant if they obtain but little.
That little Japan is prepared to give.
She is willing to give up Shantung,
with its bay of Kiao- Chau, which was
seized by the Germans in 1898 as a
naval base and a trade wedge, and
which was taken over by Japan in 1914.
The lease to Japan includes the i'm
portant Shantung Railway with its nine
auxiliaries. This province is revered
tion. Its retention by the Germans
and by the Japanese, for sentimental
reasons alone, has been source OF
anguish to the Chinese nation. It's
restoration is expected to go a long
way toward placating China if her
other claims are denied.
The treaties which Japan was en-
abled to make with China because of
the enforcement of the twenty one de-
mands of 1916 may be modified in part.
These demands were imposed on China
suddenly. They were backed by an
ultimatum threatening military force.
China signed them reluctantly and sub
sequently was compelled to sign nu-
merous subsidiary treaties growing out
of the demands. These treaties con-

ready had and gave her rights to the
exclusion of other powers on mines,
railroads, customs and properties in
Msnchuria and Mongolia. The open
door was slammed shut. Japan was
on the inside and she swung the bolt.
1t will now be the task of Great Brit
ain and America, assisted by China her
self, to pull the door ajar, at least a
little.
What Japan is not prepared to give
up are her privileges in Manchuria and
Mongolia. 1t will avail nothing for
China to ergue that the ores taken
from the Mongolian mines are and have
been for years converted by Japan into
battleships and munitions by which to
keep China in subsection, Japan will
contend that her prosperity depends
upon her mining activity in Mongolia,
and she intends to maintain it. The
same attitude will be assumed toward
Manchuria. with Port Arthur and the
railroads.
So far as these properties are in

strong sentiment among tho American
advisers to agree with Japan that this
country would not erect extensive
fortlncation in the Philippines or any
other of tho American Pacific poases-
sious, with the exception, naturally, OF
Hawaii.
This is, Of course, based on the re-
slprocal idea that Japan would agree
not TO erect any fortiications in the
Marshall or Caroline islands, over
which she obtained mandate at the
Paris peace conference.
One of these islands is Yap, which
has been regarded as so important as
a cable center. but the differences on
that score have been almost at the
point of being adjusted as between Mr..
Hughes and Baron Shidehara for
months.
The willingness of some of the
mericans to agree on this basis not

delegation that this alliance should be

British have SHE'D. away from any such
suggestion, urging blandly every time
it is mentioned that they would be de-
