THEATRES
Two Big Features at Ditmas


"The Saphead" at the Ditmas
Theatre is a screen event of unusual
Importance. The Importance at
taches partly to the notable names
in the cast. The cast is headed by
William III. Crane and Buster
Keaton, who are ~co-starred, but
there are a number of other stars
in the supporting cast, including
Irving Cummings. Edward Connolly.
Jack Livingston and Odette Tyler.
The Saphead" is a photoplay of
Wall Street and New York aristo-
cracy. 1t is a picture of that phase
of American life which has formed
the basis of what has been desig-
mated by the critics as the great
American drama" Love and high
finance are intermingled with
orgies of wild spending that give
to the story a gripping interest. Mr..
Crane plays the role of the hard
headed, arrogant and naughty
broker. while Buster Keaton is see
as the extravagant, easy going son,
whose many foolish excuses aus
him to be dubbed The Saphead."
Beautiful Catherine Calvert, CO.
starring with Herbert Rawlinson. is
an added attraction at this theatre.
Andrew Gibson, the young owner
of a piano factory, is bothered by
labor trouble at the plant and also
innocently falls into the trap of a
female vampire anxious to marry
him for his money. The methods
he uses to cure both CT his troubles
and win the girl he loves is one of
the most original and amusing
stories ever filmed.

Great Play at Crescent

The Lois Howell Players have Sc
cured another big success in their
presentation of THE Naughty Wife
at the Crescent theatre. Miss Howell
and her company of players first ap-
peared in this city on the last three
days of last week and Immediately
became popular with the theatre low
ing public. They only appear at the
Crescent the last three days of each
week in the latest and best stage
plays and yesterday matinee and
night was the first presentation of
the Naughty Wife" This is a play
that created a sensation when shown
in New York City and should prove
equally popular here. The audience
last night was loud in its applause of
the play as staged by Miss Howell
and her company.
The play tells the story of a young
and beautiful wife who becomes OBJ
sessed with the idea that her hus-
band cares more for his books than
he does for her. She was wrong. but
wilfull. and when along came the in
evitable "other man" who had ideas
along the same line as the wife they
planned to elope. The husband hears
of the plan and decides not 10 stop
them but rather to help them carry
it through. He was right in taking
that stand as you will see by attend
ing the performance.

Strand Attraction

"The Lure of the Orient" the six
part special feature ph%otodrama
which opened at the Strand theatre
yesterday, was most enthusiastically
received by large audiences who
pronounced it n of the most start
ling feature motion pictures they
had ever seen.
1t tells in graphic detail the story
of the proposed marriage of a young
American girl to a middle aged Chi
nese merchant and how, on the very
day and hour of her wedding, she
vas thrillingly rescued by an Amer
lean newspaper reporter.
The action is laid in China and It
was there that many of the scenes
were actually taken while others
were filmed on board a big ocean
liner. Supporting the all-star cast
hundreds CT genuine Chinese coolies
are shown in a terrific fight to gain
control of the liner while several of
the minor roles are also played by
real Chinese.
THE Lure of the Orient" has
proved a big lure to motion picture
fans throughout the country. In
every city where it has been exhibit
ed it has met with great success. en-
gagements have had to be extended
in many cases to permit all those
who wanted to see the picture to get
into the theatres. From the
in which the crowds flocked to the
opening of the picture here yester-
day it looks as if the pictures sue
cess in other places will be repeated
here.
The big fight scenes, the action in
the home of the Chinese merchant
and the playing of the large all-star
cast were among the many things
that brought favorable comment
from yesterdays large audiences.
One and all agreed that seldom if
ever had they seen such an intensely
interesting photodrama.

BIG LEAGUE OWNERS
BURY HATCHETS AND
ACCEPT NEW LINEUP
Agreement Between Majors and
Minors is Adopted and in
Ranks of Majors All Signs of
Hard Feeling Pass.

CHICAGO, Jan. l3.--(A. P.)-Or.
ganlzed baseball Wednesday swept the
last vestlge OF disagreement from It's
ranks in conferences which brought
signed peace agreements not only be-
tween the major and minor leagues,
but between the individual clubown-
ers. The two major leagues signed
the new national agreement making
Judge Lands baseball commissioner
with supreme powers and the minor
leagues signed an agreement with
Judge Lands as their ruler. but II
differed In one word from that signed
by the majors. This difference il de-
veloped, was due TO amisunderstand-
ing in the Joint meeting Of drafting
committees Tuesday when the agree
ment was drawn up. and ii was an
nounced that as soon as possible the
minors would sign an agreement lden-
tical with the one approved by the
majors.
The individual major league club
owners also signed a contract agree
ing mol TO oriticise each other public !
ly and TO accept any decision made |
by Judge Landis
Included were President Johnson /
OF the American league and two Of the /
three clubowners who have fousht |
his OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES A. Comis-
key OF Chicago, and Jacob Rupert of
New York. Harry Frazee Of Boston,
the third. announced he would Sign.
The signing Of the national agree
ment brought sharp statement from
Judge lands concerning the powers
he must be given and led to erroneous
reports that he had. issued an ultima
tum giving the club owners Is min
utes to make changes he demanded.
The Judge did not set a time limit but
did issue an ultimatum telling the
clubowners that his powers must be
supreme.
When the new national agreement
was brought before the league repre-
senttaives, II contained section say
ing that the commissioner. after an
investigation. could recommend such
action as he deemed advisable" 4
Judge Iandis interrupted to say
that this must read take such ac- {
tlon,'

powers are to be supreme" he said. I
