"The Misleading Lady"

The Misleading Lady," the Metro
special production which will run as
the feature picture at the Eagle thea
tire tonight and Wednesday and at the
Central theatre Thursday is of unus-
ual interest, since the leading part in
this play, which can be called a cave
man picture with an adroit twist, is
taken by Bert Lytell.
Bert Lytell plays the role of Jack
Craigen, the engineer just returncL
from a big construction job in Africa,
and who comes to New York and
meets a lovely society girl, Helen
Steele. Craigen's friends know that
he is an incorrlgible women hater,
and get Helen, who is decidedly stage
struck, to make Craigen propose, as
an example of her theatrical skill. 1t
is done, but Helen doesn't get to en-
JOY her reward, a place as ;eaG:ns
woman in millionaire's little thea
tre." She is snatched away, strug-
Cling to Craigen's isolated hunting
lodge in the Adirondacks, and there is
treated as she never had been treated
before. Craigen's brusque wooing
first enranges her and later capti-
Yates her, SO much so. that when her
fiance, with murder in his brain,
comes to claim her, she refuses him,
and choose Craigen.
The action of the story is briskness
itself, with never slow movement,
and rich humor pervades the whole,
according to those who have already
seen it.

SHANGHAI, Aug. %. - If the
great powers decide at the Washing
ton conference on some form of bepe-
VIOLENT Intervention in China to save
themselves another war, the first
problem they will have to tackle is the
incubus of the Chinese army.
Estimated as high as 100000 men,
China's army is slowly contributin=
to her destruction. For years she MSS
been trying to demobiliZe and can't.
Instead, the army is on the increase,
if anything, and Picking is helpless.
China has no money with which TO
pay her troops, so they mutiny and
sack the country in lieu of wages.
They refuse to be mustered cut of
service because soldering is easy
working for living uncertain and a
uniform adds class to robber bands
with which some of them travel.
Uniformed Coolies
Nor will their overload, the COVER
nor general, allow them to be mus
tered out if he can possibly help it.

"The Snob"

The hero of Wanda Hawley's lat
est picture play, THE Snob," was q
young man who was working his way
through college, by waiting on table
at the college dining hall. Because
he was the hero of the football team
as we'll as an all round good fellow,
he was naturally the idol of the stu.
dent body, and debarred from none OF
the most exclusive social life of the
school. When he is snubbed by a Wis
iting young lady (the Snob, played by
Miss Hawley), the students unite to
teach the snippy young lady a much
needed lesson in democracy.
AS play, this plot furnishes much
amusement, and the acting of Miss
Hawley is very delightful; she is sup,
ported by a strong cast of screen IA
vorites. The play is proving not only
excellent entertainment to patrons of
the Lyric theatre, where it will be
shown today, but is provoking much
discussion of American social condi-
lions. especially as they exist in col
leges.

does precisely what he pleases, re-
CARELESS of what Picking has to say
about it, he realizes he is no more
powerful than his army.
1t not infreQuently happens that
somebody disputes his title, SO that
1uchun keeps his command as strong
as he possibly can to defend its
Soldiers in China are seldom more

but to do the bidding of the Tuchun,
their direct master, collect his
''squeezes" and hold him on his ped
estal.
In return for this, the Tuchun al
lows his troops pretty free rein, dis
cipline, in the Occidental sense, be-
ing almost unknown; feeds and
clothes them as best he can and, from
time to time, gives them little cash
to do with as they like.
The Merry Ha-Ha
The so-called Chinese army, in real
Bisbee daily review., 1921-08-23

! ity, is fifteen or twenty armies, each
one Independent of the others and all
Independent of Picking.
These armies vary in size -om
80 ,0G0 men to several times that
General Chang Tso-lin, Tuchun in
Moukden, alone command an army
larger than that of the United States.
1t is said to be the bes. paid outnl
in China and for that reason would,
it is believed, follow Chang without
question.
General Tsao Kun, TuclIun of Chilli
province-where Picking is located
has a following just about as
large. These Tuchuns are rivals, but,
for the time being, have pooled their
interests.
Picking has repeatedly orCereG -
general cut in the army, bus the only
discernable result has been something
which sounded very much like a
Tuchunish chuckle, a few mutinies,
considerable looting, the sacking of
some cities -apparently-addi
tional enlistments.
Some Become Bandits
Now and then some overload gets
caught between fundlesS devil and
deep blue sea of an diversified, uu-
derpaid and mutinous soldiery. At
such times he suggests 5emobiliZa-
tion and one of two things happens:
Either his troops become peeved
and go on a footing rampage, else de-
mand a bonus and the right to retain
their arms. OF the two the arms be-
come the irreducible minimum, with
out which they refuse to be fired
The bonus they can dispense with -
it will be small anyway-bu. with
arms they can set themselves up in
the bandit business and do very we,i.
Occasionally, too, company Or bal

serts en- maase in favor of the bush.
Thereafter IS. new band of Robin
Hoods makes the neighborhood lively
with its piltaging, kidnapping. bur~-
ing, torturiGs and numbering for
spoil.
Are They To Blame'
All this sounds very primitive and
cold -blooded, and is.
But, most unpreiudiced observers
agree, the blame must not be laid en-
tirely on the rank and file. Pity,
rather than censure. should be theirs.
They are tLe victims Of an age-lony
system.
Through no fault OF their own their
ignorance is fbysmal. For centuries
they have been treated like dogs, by
Huns and Mrngolians. Tartars and
Manchus, showed down the human
scale. so far they are now only frac.
tion of degree above the OK.
AS parents bound the feet Of their
girl babies and stopped the growth OF
the feet, so the system in China
bound the heads of the coolie class,
stopped the growth of the brain. and
warped the mind.
Today there are millions in China
who scarcely know right from wrong
>if that much. The only law they
know is, the, law. of Self-praSCrvaJion.
Road Builders
The great powers have cont .Ibuted
to this state of affairs. BY helping
China to rid herself of the incubus
of her overlordship and army, they
will rid her-and incidentally, tfem-
selves-of grave peril.

here that we surrendered our judg-

The Republican party had made a

Senator New, Republican, InGiana
suggested that the presidents speech
had given senators courage TO change
their position and Knox said lie took
credit to himself when his views were
changed by the superior argument OF
another.
Later in the argument, Senator
Stanley, Democrat, Kentucky, chided
the Republicans for the "souabble"
and added:
