FORD's GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
Valentine Week of February 14th, the
new Musical Comedy success,
CHINE LOVE-

Valentine Week of February 14th, the
new Musical Comedy success,
JUNE LOVE-"
"June Love-, captivating operetta
which comes direct from an extended run
of success in Boston, will be presented at
Ford's week of February Ia, with the
original company and chorus heard in
Boston and during the run of three months
in Chicago.
"June Love" is entirely magnetic in
its catchy tunefulness, it's taking melo.
dies and lyrics, with plot pleasantly
absorbing. The music is by the celebra-
ted composer Rudolf Friml who has Civ
en- the American stage such triumphs as
"Firefy", "Katinka". Sometime, etc.
The story. real one, is the co-work
of Charlotte Thompson and w. H. Post,
which concerns the adventures of a very
young and beautiful widow who sets out
to replace her very scientific late lamen-
ted husband by q man of red blood, with
amusingly romantic vicissitudes. The
cast is conspicuous one, and graceful
dancing and singing chorus. The produc-
ton is in every way a delight to the eye
and ear, and it's melodies are fascinat-
ingly lingering.

DEBATES NOW ON

"Well, we got things going, we
didn't tell the politicians and we
didn't want to get acquainted with
too many like LANCER and his type
for they would frame up and sell us
out. I'm thankful LANCER was not

would have put us all in Jail. "But
he can't stop us now"

er. We had a reactionary senate
and cleaned it out"
He gave figures declaring that tax.
es were reduced over a million from
1919 to 1920, and the per capita ia,
was only $3.50; Indiana, $2.75; 10
wa $500; Nebraska, $3.68; Dakota
$4.20; Wisconsin, $4.40, and said he
hadn't got the Kansas figures. Hail
insurance saved the farmers millions
North Dakota banks loaned three
millions at 6 per cent to farmers
saving them thousands in interest.
In closing he told of the political
house cleaning, after stating that the
+; league had elected LANCER twice, anG
then defeated him. II consider tha,
the league program in North Dakota
has been a success" Townley said In
his final remarks.
'"Townley will get all of this de-
bate he wants." LANCER asserted ir
opening the rebuttal. "I'll be with
him everywhere"
'"Townley has not touched the is
sues. What did the League do? He
didn't answer me. The men that the

farmers of North Dakota trusted got
their dirty fingers in the public trea-

cially. The leader of that 400 men
at Bismarck has repudiated the
whole affair, Townley and all. Town
ley forgot to tell you that we have
a gasoline tax, and other taxes that
yield state revenues" Townley did
not answer me-" declared LANCER as
he closed.
Townley again told of his bank
ruptcy, of detectives, etc., of being
accused Of having palatial homes in
either Chicago, Minneapolis, or Dem
yer. He admitted that he signed The
draft card socialist, for he stated
that when he busted he wanted to
enter politics, so tried to run the
Socialist party and it was no good
and now he is running the Republi-
can party. That he was the leader,
because he was the first to bust in
1912 and since that time two-thirds
of the farmers of North Dakota bust
ed. Replying to the United Stores
accusation, he said that he didn't
have a cent in them, and the stores
were to be operated by the league
but that the charter had been held
up and he thought LANCER did it.
He declared the legislature collected
back taxes to the amount of four and
a half million dollars.
In the final argument Mr.. LANCER
again stated that he was glad that
Townley admitted his socialistic con-
nections, and that was the way the
league hooked up all over North
Dakota. He asserted that the Farm
ers Union had the best hail insurance
and some day ''Townley will see the
light.

Only 81 Dramatic
Situations for Plots,
Says Playwright

Lack of characterization in their
plots is one of the most common handi-
caps which prevents the sale of stories
submitted BY ambitious amateur scena-
rio writer's, says Wycliffe A. Hill, pres
ident of the Photoplaywrights' League
Of America. which has its headquarters
in Los Angeles.
He calls attention to the fact that
there are only 81 basic dramatic stu
atoms on which all drama and fiction
are founded, and that all plots must
necessarily be combination of two or
more variations of these basic dramatic
situations. He says that many of the
producers do not care especially for
new plots, but that they do require I'M
usual characterizations and refreshing
atmosphere.
The Photoplaywrights' League of
America. of which Hill is president, is
now the largest organization of scenario
writer's in the world. having over 1000
members. For the benefit of new writ
ers, a circular devoted to characterize
ton has been written by Mr.. Hill and
reproduced by the league for free dis
tribution. . 49,

MARY PICkFORD
AT THE LIBERTY,

Because a servant loved her and be-
cause her stepfather made her mother
leave her in Belgium. little Jeanne
Rodamere faced the problem of winning
recognition from the mother who
thought her dead. She came to Amer
lea an immigrant when the World War
broke out with only note and pass
port with which to make her identity
known. Her mother lived in a palace
on Long Island. The child came to it
in delivery wagon. OF course, the
mother did not recognize her, and cir
cnmstances conspired to prevent her
telling who she really was. In order
to gain entrance to the home that was
rightfully hers she had to enter it
through the back door as a servant.
The trials and tribulations she encount
cred. the heartaches and the plot she
found all combine to make a fascinating
and gripping drama. And the climax
that made possible the mother love this
little child hungered for will tug hard
at the heartstrings of all who see it..
Through the Back Door," to be shown
at the Liberty theater Tuesday, We'd
nesday and Thursday, shows Mary
Pickford at her best--a child role with
all the pathos. all the comedy and all
of the little whimsical touches that have
made her famous.
