of II, in Oklahoma-musical tuition is
absolutely free and the state spent half
a million for studios and buildings on
the grounds, besides furnishing fine
teachers. That is going some, as the
vernacular has 1t. isn't 1t? Let me
add that there are several associa-
tions of women in Oklahoma which
lend money to young girls to enable
them to complete their musical edu-
cation at this college.
Meantime, let me say that if ever a
state showed brains, it is Oklahoma,
for by encouraging music and the cul-
tural forces. it is going to attract to
itself most desirable element. Under
such kindly fostering influences as 1t
exerts, some great talent, perhaps the
great American composer, Is going to
emerge. and then what q laugh Okla
homa will be able to have on the rest
of the U. s., not to speak of the effete
nations Of the world.

HERE'S SOMETHING
TO THINK ABOUT

Can you fancy beautiful Gloria
Swanson dressed in rags and tatters7
Remember the many gorgeous
gowns which have become so much
a part OF Miss Swanson as a result
OF her success in photoplays And
yet rags and tatters are Miss Swan
sons portion through a portion Of
tho story OF Cecil b. DeMile's new
picture Something to Think About"
which Majestic is to offer all OF next
week
Something to Think About" rep
resents a new departure in the type
Of role portrayed by Miss Swanson.
AS Ruth Anderson. the talented
young actress has abundant oppor-
tunity to display her abilities. The
role carries Miss Swanson through
the entire emotional gamut and it is
confidentially expected that this
photoplay will earn for her an addi-
tional host OF admirers.
. Although rags and. tatters play
their part in the action, Miss Swan
son also wears a gown OF striking
beauty. Several ultra new street
costumes and evening gowns of un-
usual beauty were designed by Cecil
b. DeMille and Miss Swanson wears
them with her habitual grace and
charm.
Miss Swanson plays the central
feminine role. other notable names
in the cast include Elliott Dexter,
Theodore Roberts. and Monte Blue.

AT THE MAJESTIC.

Those who admire Roscoe Ar
buckle, the portly comedian, enjoyed
a rare treat when he was presented
yesterday at the Majestic Theatre in
'-The Round Up" his second feature
length production.
'The Round Up" Is a capital
story OF the Southwest and there are
thrills aplenty in the action. The
scenes are laid in Apache land and
in the development OF the plot, In
dams. renegades, frontiersmen and
young women are employed in vast
variety. The theme is one Of self
sacrifice and as a result the climaxes
are highly dramatic. II is safe to
say that Mr.. Arbuckle as the sheriff
does some Of the most effective work
OF his screen career. and his COM
plant that nobody loves a fat man"
insofar as he is personally concern
ed. IS a faliacy.
The continuity OF the picture has
been adapted by Tom Forman for
the screen. Mr.. Forman also plays
one Of the leading roles Of the piece.
The suppNrt is more than adequate,
the portrayal OF the heroine by
Mabel Julienne Scott being especial
ly outstanding.
