M'CL|NTIC CHOICE
FOR FEDERAL JUDGE
Prohibition Law Became e.
feCtive This Morning.
(sy CHARLES BROOK SMITH


Washington, July 18.-fhe long
drawn-out contest over whom is to
be appointed federal judge in the
Southern District of West Virginia
is settled. This statement is based
on no less high official authority
than President Harding himself. He
today informed Senator Howard
Sutherland, Representative Leonard
Sidney Echols and George w. Nc
Clintic, Of Charleston, who were
among his callers, that the conclu-
sion Of the spirited contest had been
reached and that he intended to
send to the Senate the nomination
Of Mr.. McClintic promptly" The
trio departed from the presidential
presence well pleased with the in
formation given them. 1t is more
than likely that Mr.. McClintic's nom
nation will go in tomorrow. Sen
ators Sutherland and Elkins formal
ly recommended the appointment of
Mr.. McClintic ten days ago. Not
withstanding, the supporters of
Judge J. F. Strother, of WEIGH, did
not haul down their flag and quit
the field; on the contrary, they
kept up the fight with, il anything,
added vigor and determination. The
same can hardly be said Of the sup
porters of Elliott Northcott, of
Huntington. When the senatorial de-
cision was announced, they realized
apparently that they had lost and
their campaign all but collapsed
The appointment of McClintic as
Judge now being assured, the
friends of Northcott got busy to
save something from the wreck of
the hopes of their favorite for a
lifelong judicial position. Their
activity has resulted, it seems al
most certain, in the informal deci-
sion of the two senator's to recon-
mend Northcott for appointment as
district attorney Of the court over
which he had an ambition to preside.
Unless something wholly unexpected
turns up, Senators Sutherland and
Flkins WILL within the next few
days, make formal announcement "a
to the attorneyship for the Southern
District. The position IS not avail.
able for Mr.. Northcott until next
January as the tenure of the pres
ent incumbent, Lon Kelly, does not
expire until then. However, their
announcement is expected to def
nitely forestal1 any contest over that
position.

INDIANA STATE
OBSERVES FIRST
NATIONAL WEEK

First National attractions and in the city
Of Indianapolis there will be more than
twenty exhibitors playing these pictures
Considering the fact that the Indians
territory is considered to be only 3 per-
centum Of the entire United States as
far as the number of motion picture the
aters are concerned, 1t stands to reason
that approximately 1900 theaters in the
United States alone will be playing First
National attractions during the coming
week, which will give an inkling Of the
scope Of the organizations activities, it is
announced.
Associated First National Pictures was
formed, according to a statement from
First National, at a time when the pub
lie was demanding a higher standard Of
screen entertainment and as a result Of
the fact that the tneater= goer apparently
held the theater owners responsible for
the quality of productions shown in their
theaters.
1T seemed absolutely essential" the
statement says, for the exhibitors Of
the country to organize for their own
protection and as the first step toward
giving their audiences the kind of pro-
auctions they we're demanding.
The public was holding the theater
owners responsible for the kind of en-
tertainment they were presenting
"But as an organization backed by the
unlimited finances such as only a vast
organization, national in scope, could
muster, they could provide the quality Of
productions necessary to their future
progress.
I'm a short year and half Associated
First National has grown to be one Of
the most potent agencies for the i'm
provement of the screen drama ever or
gained.
Like dramatist working on a great
production the making of a consistent
theatrical program involves something
more than the employing of stars and
directors.
"The stories must be Of the highest
standard and by the greatest authors
and the program must be as varied as 1t
is original. If a company supplying
theaters throughout the country with
their programs should supply nothing
but heavy dramatic productions. the the
aters would not prove as successful as
they should. even If the pictures sup
piled were the best that unlimited time
and finances could produce.
"Or, IL nothing was forthcoming but
light comedy productions the results
would be the same Like a great dra-
matte production, the program must have
a certain amount Of so-called relief
in order to make it as successful as it
should be.
ITO supply a program that would
please the great majority of the popu-
lace, week after week, has been the ulti-
mate aim of Associated First National
and the success of the First National
Theaters has proved the value Of this
policy.
To-day approximately twenty Of the
favorite stars and directors, including
many who make nothing but dramatic
productions and many who make nothing
but the so-called comedy dramas, are
making pictures In their own studios for
Associated First National" according to
the statement

we'll An elaborate stage setting has been
provided for the act.
The De Bourg Sisters, a duo Of pretty
French girls. offer q number of tricks
and illusions. One Of their illusions that
keeps the audience guessing is "The Girl
In the Box" One of the girls is placed
in the box, which sets on four legs about
four feet from the stage, which enables
the audience to see under and over it.
Fifteen Army sabers are thrust through
the box at different angles and then
withdrawn, and when the last saber is
pulled from the box the young lady
energies from Its confines waving two i'm
mense streamers.

wedding Bells" is an adaptation from
Salisbury Fields original stage play OF
the same name, and tells the story of
Rosalie Wayne, society girl, who found
her love in a most unusual manner. Her
quick marriage to Reginald Carter hard
" has a chance to shock her relatives
when a lovers quarrel arouses the ire of
both, and Rosalie does what Reggie con-
siders an unforgivable thing-she hobs
her hair. Rosalie runs away, fully ex-
pecting that Reggie will follow, but luck
is against both. Reggie is taken ill with
a case of measles and is obliged to re-
main in bed. He loses trace of Rosalie,
and she, thinking he has grown indiffer-
emit, gets a divorce In Reno.
