CONSTANCE TALMADGE IN
Cup THE ROAD WITH SALLY"

Bubbling over with the effervesc-
ence of youth and the joy of living,
Constance Talmadgc keeps the audi
cnce in a CULVER of laughter all
through "Up the Road With Sallie,' -
in which she is presented by Lewis j,
Selznick at the Alcazar theater Thurs
day; June 80.
The part of Sallic, an irrepressiblc
T 'ung girl thirsting for adventure,
and ready 20 meet al in the race for
a large fortune, which goes to the
one who devises' the most original
method of spending $4,000 within a
year, suits Constance Talmadge ex-
actly..
Like skillful angler of laughs she
first puts her audience in a receptive
frame of mind, ready to receive her
merry-making, and then, as the film
reels off one comedy situation after
another, she offers more and more
extravaganza complications until she
has the whole house in a gale of
mirth.
The picture is made from the novel
of the same name by Frances Ster-
rett, and in making the scenario none
of the whimsical and entertaining
plot has been lost, rather Constance
Talmadge gives to its charming hero
inc life, and she canters through the
story with all the grace and audacity
which even the most exacting author
could wish.

AT THE MIRROR
By DR.. William E. Barton.

John Henry Newman, that truly
great, but not always consistent
scholar and ecclesiastic, once said:
81 look out of myself into the
world of men and here see a sight
which fills me with unspeakable dis
tress. The world seems simply to
give the lie to that great truth of
which my whole being is so full, and
the effect upon me is, in consequence,
as matter of necessity, as confusing
as if it denied that | am in existence
myself.
III looked ito a mirror and did
not see my own face, | should have

In Deadly Earnest
General Stewart is in dead earnest
about TINS relief matter. He believes
the legislature should act, and act
promptly before it is too late. He
says that many of the veterans and
widows of veterans who have been
allotted pensions they cannot get, or
who need pensions, are of proud
lineage, and would not for anything
let their condition be known public
ly. Therefore there is comparatively
little said when the pension matter
is being agitated. But the need is
great, he asserts.

John H. Walker, delegate to the

In other words, Walker believes

resources should be so used that it
would do the maximum of good to
the greatest number of people.
Are there any arguments against
