Alice Joyce in The Scarab Ring"
based upon the novel by Harriet
GAYLORD. Miss Joyce appears as a
young woman. brought up in luxury
and ease. The role as a whole, is
different from anything previously
attempted by the star.
The production has been made
with great attention TO detail and
setting. one room alone representing
a cost of over 100000. A carved
fireplace, taken from one of Fifth

original owner more than $4,000.

NoUeI Photography
Emphasizes Warfare
In BeLdscO Picture

Unusual means of indicating bat
tie scenes without actually show Z
the conflict are an innovation of
The Heart of Maryland" which
opens its second consecutive week
of showing at Moore's Garden The
ater today.
The unusual photography sus-
gests scenes. stirs up creative i'm
agination and is far more impress
sive than IL the actual scenes
were photographed. The mind is
constantly deceiving the eye and
what might be termed the sleignt-
of-hand" of motion picture photog-
raphy makes the spectator believe
he has seen a thing that is never
shown.
This form of trickery is constant
ly used by clever directors, but
never has il been so appropriately
employed as in The Heart of Mary
land" Puffs Of smoke and explod-
ing shells convey the idea of battle
so vividly and stir up such mental
pictures that after the production
has been screened the spectator
thinks he has actually witnessed
battle scenes in which thousands
of extra players participated.
On several other occasions this
'sleight-of-hand" photography is
used in the picture: once to convey
the idea Of Phoebe's mourning over
the death of Lloyd, again to convey
the idea of Maryland Calvert's hor-
ror of Fulton Thorpe, the villain.
and still on other occasion to con-
vey the news of the death of Alan
Hendricks father, a feature which
has an important bearing upon the
story.
Thus the actual scenes which are
delicate to handle are presented IN
a manner which stirs within each
human being a different mental pic
ture and presents these essential
scenes in a manner that Is entirely
satisfactory to all who see the pro-
duction.

will introduce bill soon, providing
for third U. S. District court in
Kentucky to be known as the Middle

territory taken from the Eastern
district, according to Washington
advices. The bill, it was said, would
provide for sessions of the Eastern
court at Pikeville with the Middle
court having sessions at Covington,
Frankfort. Richmond and Lexing-
ton. Too much territory and too
many cases for the two present
courts was said to be Mr.. Langley's
reason for desiring a third court.

VETERAN WET"
JOINS THE DRYS

Charleston, w. Va, April al
A scene without parallel in the his
tory of the West Virginia Legisla-
ture was enacted in the House late
yesterday when delegate j. A.
Strother, of Welch, for many years
leader of the pro-liquor forces, pub
licly> deserted the "wets" and went
over to the prohibition side.
Strother, one of the oldest men,
bers of the House, secured permits
sion to speak when the Senate pro-
hibition bill was being considered.
The delegates settled back COM
fortably to listen to what they ex-
pected would be an attack against
further tightening of the prohibit
ton law.
II have been fighting prohibition
many years." declared the aged del
egate. "Since 1907 i have carried
on the fight in the Senate and the
House Of Delegates. ] have been a
devQtee of liquor for thirty years. 1t
never brought me good, nor was the
fight successful. Liquor has kept
me down and prevented me from
acquiring the honor that should
have been mine. have succeeded
in throwing of the desire for drink
and il has made me a better man."
When it dawned upon members
of the House that the pro-,luor
leader had taken his stand with the
prohibition forces. roar Of APP
plause broke out. Although the
demonstration violated House rules.
Speaker Keatley made no effort to
stop it.

OPEN DOORS TO PIE
COUNTER BARRED
Republican Job Hunters Dis
mayed By Order Chief
Dispenser

Washington, April 2S.-The "op.
en- door policy" inaugurated with
President Harding is gradually fad.
ing away and will soon be a thing OF
the past. President Harding's door
stood ajar but few. days when he
ordered it closed three days out OF
six so that he could 'get an oppor-
tunity to do some work.
Members of Congress were noti-
fed by the secretary Of Attorney
General Daugherty that hereafter
delegations desiring to boost Job
hunters must cut out the personal
interview and write out their de-
sires. Mr.. Daugherty is not going to
see any more committees or deputa-
tions for patronage candidates, the
Congressman we're told, but will re-
quire recommendations in writing,
and II he likes them he will send for
the aspirant and take up the matter
/with him.
Took Too Much Time
1t was explained that all Of the
Attorney Generals time was taken
up by job hunters and their friends
who are trying to shove them up to
the pie counter.
This informal announcement was
a great blow to hundreds of delega-
tions that are organizing to come on
to Washington and lombard the De-
partment of Justice and the White
House. The many stories that Mr..
Daugherty is to be the chief patron
age dispenser for the Harding Ad-
ministration has deluged him with
requests for interviews. The death
of Judge Jeter c. Pritchard of the
Fourth Circuit Court Of Appeals
brought down upon the Attorney
General and Mr.: Harding an army Of
lawyers.
The announcement followed a re-
quest for an engagement for an in
terview with committee represent
ing the bar of Greensboro, N. c., to
present the name of Judge w. p.
y Bynum for the vacancy.
Will Take a Rest
Mr.. Daugherty has experienced a
run on his patronage bank and he
is tired OF it. He will put up the
bars to all corners until he gets a
rest. Many Republican leaders not
in high favor with the Administra-
ton fear that the new order will
result in permitting friends" of the
Attorney General winning the good
jobs and "others" remaining OUT
side.
The Daugherty bars are taken SER
iously by many G. o. p. workers
now in the city awaiting appoint
ments.

MOB OF GERMANS
ATTACK AMERICAN

Berlin, April 20.--James e. To-
binson and wife, residents of Chi
cago, were attacked by a crowd of
German men, women and children
Tuesday as they were on the ter
rance of Sans Souci Park following
the funeral of former Empress Au-
gusta Victoria.
The Americans were rescued by
security policeman and two Ger
man civilians, who surrounded them
accepting a pelting of sticks, stones
and umbrellas, until they were able
to escort them to the police station
in Potsdam. Here a patrol of ex-
ira policemen was summoned and
dispersed the crowd.
During the attack the policeman
and the two German civilians were
unable to quiet the crowd, nor could
they entirely shield the Americans.
Mr.. Tobinson was beaten about the
head and shoulders and his wife re-
ceived bruised nose. After her
hat was torn from her head, her
hair was pulled and she was struck
ON her arms and body by umbrellas.
Potsdam police headquarters
said:
1.-THE Americans were not to
blame, and they desire that there be
no further mention of the affair."

man, who thought we were French.

and declared we were French. They
began abusing foreigners. 1 could
not understand what they said, but
realized that the women were very
angry.
"A crowd gathered. Among it
was a number of children. To the
children the old women declared we
had spoken in French words deroga-
tory to the former Empress. Neither
of us understands French. One of
the old woman's companions tried
to explain that we had not spoken
