A picture for young and old alike
that is the description that may be ap-
piled to Paramount's screen version of
Sir James NJ. Barrie's Sentimental
Tommy" which will be the feature at
the PartEenon theatre for today and
tomorrow.
It Is doubtful that many grownups
exist who haven't a fond memory of
Tomrny's imagination and practically
all OF the youngsters today have read
about him at one time or another.
The story begins with Tommy's en-
trance with his sister. Elspeth. to the
Scotch village of Thrums and his res
cue OF Grizel from crowd OF young
sters who are throwing stones at her.
1t gives many episodes showing Tom
my's flights of ina gination which are
humorous and wholesome. The story
takes Tommy and Grizel TO maturity
when Grisel becomes demented after
she fnds her chuSsood sweetheart
with another woman in his arms. The
closing scenes are dramatic and full
of heart interest

Finds Privacy In the Crowd.

A millionaire banker, recently
much in the limelight. has fitted up
the entire tenth floor of an Office build
ing near the Grand Central station,
New York, as living quarters. He
seeks peace and quiet and believes
that he can best bury himself in the
very heart Of the teeming metrop-
oils. No one in the building knows
of his presence. He has a private
elevator and his servants are the
kind who have been tried and found
not wanting. His theory Is some
what like that of the detective bu-
reau, which believes that the man
hardest to find is the one who min
giles with the herd. Once he starts
for the open places the arm of the
law nips him.

This was learned on highest author

Is expected to announce the japanese
decision at the meeting Wednesday.
The entire question of Japan's In
sistence on an increased ratio in
capital ships will be thrown into the
arms conference for settlement.
The naval experts of the United
States and Japan have reached
deadlock on Japun's demands for an
increase of ten per cent In capital
ship tonnage over that allowed In the
Hughes proposal, and the question
will be taken up in the meeting of the
ON Limitation of armament.
Tbs meeting probably may be a

Despite the fact that naval experts
are at loggerheads, it is officially be-
ieved that sentiment will be reached
