For the past two weeks have been
receiving letters from school children
telling me they intended entering the

The only way anybody can be sure
OF getting a subscription book and
starting on the easy road to own
ership OF a beautiful bicycle which
will be a source of pride. pleasure
and proft to them is to sign the

tions. while / am on the subject Of

would be given TO every faith and
every interest
Few things are more earnestly
desired by the English speaking
world than q satisfactory solution
of the Irish problem. declared the
king. He went on as follows:
Certainly no wish Is nearer my
own heart than that every man Of
Irish birth, whatever his creed,
wherever his home. should work
with loyal cooperation wit the free
communities upon which the empire
Is built.
my hopes are broader stin. The
eyes of the whole empire are upon
Ireland today--that empire wherein
many nations and races come to-
gether despite ancient feuds and In
which nations have come to birth In
the life time OF the youngest In this
hall.
Il am emboldened by that thought
to look beyond the sorrow and
anxiety which have clouded Of late
MY vision of Irish Affairs. I speak
with q full heart when pray that
my coming today may prove the
nrst step towards the end of strife
amongst her people whatever the
race. whatever the creed.
FUTURE LIES WITH PEOPLE.
"The future lies In the hands of my
Irish people themselves. May this be
the prelude to the day on which the
Irish people of both the north and the
south, either In one parliament or
two. shall work together In common
love for Ireland-and may they work
upon the sure foundation OF mutual
trust and respect
I'm that hope appeal to all Irish
men to pause and stretch out the
hand Of forebearance and conciiia-
tion; forget. forgive and Join in
making for the land which they all
love new era of peace. content
ment and good Will II is my earn
too. there may ere long take place q
parallel to what is passing here now
In this ball and that there a similar
occasioa may present itself and 4
similar ceremony performed"
The authorities breathed a sigh OF
relief when the city hall was reached
without incident. There had been a
feeling of keen nervous tension. All
OF the unionist members of parlia-
ment were In their places, but all of
the Sim Feiners were absent As
the King and Queen took their places
there was a burst of applause.
DE vALEBA's NAME CALLED.
Immediately afterward the clerk
began to call the roll. There was a
ripple OF laughter when the names of
Eamonn de Valera and Michael Col
lins were called. De Valera Is Pres
idcnt of the Irish Republic" and Col
lins was formerly known as the
commander In chief of the Irish Re-
publican army. The whereabouts of
both are unknown although they
were elected to parliament in Sim
Etin districts

block the passage OF the Great Falls
water power Amendment was pre-
cipitated in the Senate today by Sem
stor Norris OF Nebraska

by his authority Of having written a

Here is q bit or good news for Bis bee amusement lovers, Henry E. Wal thall known the world over for his splendid art on the motion picture screen, is to appear in person at the Grand Theatre on May r in delight. ful new comedy drama of modern life entitled Taken h."
 In his new play NIr. Walthall and his company have cheerful humor- ous stage story. starting early in the first act with it's romantic theme and going straight through to the end of the play without deviation It is dra- matic at times and shows splendid lit erary authorship of high order, afford. Mr. Walthall fine opportunity to dis play his talents in the shading from the dramatic to the comedy moments. The story is of modern life in the cities, introducing q number of excell- ent types. among them young wo- man writer masquerading as an out east. a lOVeable old clergyman, puri tanic old maid. a newspaper reporter. 8 young student of theology, and dainty little miss of the ingenue va riety. not to mention the gifted, but cratic poet, in the hands of the su- pArlative MT Walthall.
 Taken In" is by Herbert Bashford. noted journalist of the Literary Di- gest; he should be best remembered for his great stage success The Wo- man He Married" which play served as a starring vehicle for Virginia HarE nard a few seasons back.

"YOUThFUl FOLLY"

That Olive Thomas was capable of the strongest of emotional acting is demonstrated in Youthful Folly" which is announced for the Lyric Theatre next Wednesday. She has the role of young Southern girl who finds herself plunged into maelstrom of intrigue and scandal. She is mar ried to a man who made her his wife merely for a blind so he could carry on an affair with another woman, who happens to be Nancy's cousin.
 The dramatic situations arising from this unusual arrangement are sufficient to tax the capabilities of any actress but Miss Thomas arises to every occasion and gives a perform ance that will be long remembered as one of the best of recent screen char acteriZations.
Bisbee daily review., 1921-05-08
"Life's Twist"

A cast of unusual excellence sup ports Bessie Barriscale in "Life's Twist" the Robertson-Cole Special, which will be seen Thursday at the Lyric theatre. This picture is report ed to show Miss Barriscae at the very pinnacle of her art as dramatic actress.
 Foremost among her supporting cast is Walter McGrail. the handsome and sympathetic young leading man, who scored so heavily in Blind Youth" and other well known produc- tions. His success is the fruit of many years of solid and substantial work on the screen. McGrail, as the well-bred husband of a pampered so- ciety girl. played by Miss Barriscale, gives a finished and highly polished portrayal of a young man who marries for money and then falls in love with his own wife.
 King Baggott, the redoubtable char acter delineator of the screen, as the disappointed suitor, plays role which is the nearest approach to those lovable villains who excite the sym pathy and good wishes of the audi ence. Baggott, the first actor to ap- pear on the screen as Or Jekyll and MT. Hyde" has starred in a num- Der of we'll known stories as well as in the war serial, "The Eagles Eye"
 Others in the cast whose establish ed regulations won for them impor- tant roles in "Life's Twist include Marcia Manon, she whose exotic per sonality made her one of the outstand- ing characters in Mary Pickford's Stella Maris," Truly Shattock, musi- cal comedy star and character woman of the screen, William V.

"Worids Apart"

Eugene O'Brien fans, and there are many, will have the pleasure of see ing the star in the best production he has made during his entire screen career when the Selznick Picture, Worlds Apart" comes to the Lyric theatre next Tuesday.
 MT. O'Brien plays the part of Hugh Ledyard, a scion of an old, illustrious family, who is tilted by the girl of his choice because of her desire for more money. His dreams shattered, and bitter against all mankind, he marries girl whom he has met through his intervening when she attempts sui. eide. They live together for appear ance sake, he never knowing anything of her past until a guest at their home, a rough. uncouth individual, for whom Hugh has been turned down by his former sweetheart is killed. A servant, accused of the crime, turns out to be his wife's father.
 The manner in which the mystery is solved is an entirely original one, and the injection of an Oriental atmos. phere into the story adds greatly to its interest.
 The story is by John Lynch, and the theme has been very ably empna- sized and brought out through the fine direction of Alan CrosIand.
 MT. O'Brien is aided in his charae- terization by some of the screens foremost players, among whom are: Olive Tell, a star in her own right, ". H. Tooker, Florence Billings, Arthur Housman, Louise Prussing and War ren Ceok

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT"

Stage settings of unusual beauty are assured in any photoplay bearing Cecil B. De Miles name and Some thing To Think About" the Para mount picture which will be shown at the Eagle Theatre May 13 and 14 easily reaches the high standard set by previous De Mile productions.
 But Something To Think About" has. in addition to several stage set tings of remarkable beauty. some of the most realistic backgrounds of a humber sort ever seen in a motion picture production.
 The story offers a great opportunity for contrast and due advantage has been taken of every opportunity. In this production. has been supplied a humble blacksmith's home, his work shop and the povertystricken apart ment wherein some of the most impor- sant action of the story transpires.
 Against this background Cecil B. De Mile placed a home of exquisite beauty. By thus contrasting the two surroundings, they have emphasized the realism of one and the artistic per ifection of the other.
 Notable examples of this decorative lavishness are to be found in the Ori- ental living room. library and music room which comprises one portion of the residence in question. Another striking sample of the ultra-modern influence in interior decoration is in the dining room of the same dwelling A bo9doir of striking beauty con- pletes this household.
