an engagement of three nights, be-
ginning next Monday, including a
matinee on Wednesday.
The star in this case Is given the
most of the credit for the success of
one of Mr. Morosco's greatest play
producing successes, for while the
production has received much praise
for its rare atmospheric beauties, the
unusual charm of personality and act
ing ability which the young star has
displayed in its leading role has made
lombard, Ltd" popularity known as
the comedy that Leo Garlic made
famous, and justly SO if all the COM
plimentary comment that has been
showered upon him in public prints
in this connection may be relied on
as even near facts.
Special attention to this appear

gan, who had striven for measure
in which the south would have no
possible benefit.
To the entire committee, which
visited him today asking that he
recommend the passage of the bill in
his first message to Congress in reg
ular session, he expressed his ap-
prevail of the substitute in which
the south was given consideration.
He hesitated, however, to agree to
recommend the appropriation be-
cause, as he said, he did not know
exactly what state the treasury
would be in at the time Congress re-
convened. and he was in doubt as to
the passage of the administration
measure refunding the debt of the
railroads.
Likely to Pass
There is every reason to believe
however, that the bill as agreed upon
will eventually be enacted into law.
Similar legislation has transformed
western areas from deserts into gar
den spots, and swamp and over
flowed lands in the south are today
twice as extensive as unredeemed
land in the west. What has been
accomplished in the. west may be ac-
complished in the sol III, the commit
tee contended, and with such con-
leAtloH the HFeSluent agreed.
At any rate he took the position
that every section during his ad-
ministration must share in an equal
ity of opportunity.
For the change in the bill, Repre-
sentative Bankhead of the Tenth Ala
bama district is responsible. When
the bill solely in the interest of the
west reached the House, he intro
duced substitute. caring for the
south. Notice was served on repub-
licans that unless they agreed to the
substitute there would be no bill.
They needed the warning, and the
substitute passed Mr.. Bankhead
contends that Alabama and the entire
south will be greatly benefited when
the bill is in operation. He thinks
1t probable that within time swamps
and overflowed lands in that state
will be a prime source of wealth.

This pair consisted of a man and a

three men and a chic girl. The mere
costume and hair of the female part

this, however, as they furnished two

The role of Eva is quite suited
to Mae Parks sweet and appealing
personality and Mrs. C. w. Park play
