fROLIC' NETS NEAT
 FUND FOR SCHOOL

The S. o. s. fund for the relief of the Conway public school was boosted by about $9O through the joint efforts of the s. l. A. and the Elks lodge in staging thA "Frolic" given Thursday and Friday nights. Receipts from the two shows were checked up today, and the sh1re of the s. l. A. will be near that fig ure.
 Enthusiasm from the audience con siderably bettered the final showing of the "Frolic," and it was given con tinued applause from curtain to cur tain. The performance $ a whole was even better than. that of the first night. Attendance at both shows was slightly less than was expected but economical management result ed in good sized profits for both the S. l. A. and the Elks lodge. Clint Draper, who again proved his worth as a director, will leave today for Pine Bluff, where he will direct ar amateur show for the Shrincrs.

CONNIE" AT GRAND.

In "Woman's Place." the first Ma tioral attraction which is coming to the White Grand Theatre Monday and Tuesday, Constance Talmadge is said to have been given the peppiest and most interesting screen vehicle that she has had in a long time.
 The role in which Miss Talmadge will be seen will be an innovation for Talmadge fans, for Constance enacts the part of Josephine Gerson, belle of the town, who, on her return from Paris, is made to run as candidate for mayor.
 The election contest is one of the most unique and amusing ever con- ceived, according to those who have seen preview of the picture, and Miss Talmadge is said to be as whim- sical and charming as ever
 The production marks Constance Talmadge's first appearance on the screen in political" role.

PAINTED OVER COURT FlNERY
Ruse by Which Nuns Had Queen De-
plcted as Member of Their
Religious Order.

Through a chance discovery in the
garret of ducal palace in Madrid. a
three e-hundred-year-Old romance of
wonderful Velasquez has been re-
vealed. Hidden for three centuries as
a picture of nun, this portrait of
Queen Isabella of Spain, the first wife
of King Philip ", has recentl- been
restored in London.
In the disguised picture practically
nothing but the face and hands of the
original was left uncovered, and the
secret was first guessed at owing TO
the paint peeling away from the nuns
hood. when there was revealed the
fringe of lace collar.
Princess Isabella of Bourbon was
married to Philip in 1915, and In 1924
was staying In the convent of the nuns
belonging to the order of the Descal-
zoS. AS mark of the kindness she
there received she presented the nuns
with this Velasquez portrait Of her
self.
Later Isabella wished to enter the
convent, but the pope would not con-
sent. The inmates Of the convent
called in a painter. and secretly in
structed him TO paint out the queens
court dress and the lace handkerchief
In her left hand, and to present her in
the complete garb of professed nun.
