ture, which was directed by Albert
Capellani, Mr.. Riesenfeid said;
"I selected The Inside OF the Cup
for an extended engagement for these
reasons:
THE theme is so big that II dwarfs
ordinary motion pictures.
The love story il so well woven
into the bigger theme that the whole
becomes that rare thing-a drama
that reflects life.
with it's severe indictment of
hypocrisy, It's arrangement OF the
present social order and it's appeal
for a new social justice, IL is bound
to make people think.
Last. but by no means least, 1t
is a thrilling picture play of modern
American life"
All who have seen "The inside of
the Cup" i'm the projection room of
the producers have been enthusiastic
about the results obtained by Mr..
Capeliani with the material which
was supplied In rich abundance by
winston Churchiirs world-famous
story OF the same name. As a novel
VT had an appeal that was felt
throughout the English-speaking
world. As a picture II seems destined
to create at least as much comment
and probably more controversy.
In the dramatization the director
brought the two beautiful love stories
to the surface--thc romance of the
rector and Eldon PARIS daughter and
that other love story of PARIS son
and the girl who was driven to the
streets because of the rich bankers
pride.

Mexicans Besiege State Depart
ment in Attempt to Halt
e., Sinq Sing Executions.

Don Manuel c. Teller, Mexican
charge d'affaires here, today was
making a final effort to secure elem
ency for Augustin Sanchez and En-
rique Garcia. two Mexican citizens
who are under sentence to be exc
cuted at Sing Sing prison shortly be-
fore this midnight. Sanchez and Gar
cia were convicted of murder.
During the past three weeks Senior
Teller has visited the State Depart
ment several times to make represen-
tations in behalf of the two men and
other Latin-American diplomats have
co-operated with him. There has,
however. been no direct communica-
tion on the subject direct from Mexico
City to the state Department.
In all, more than a hundred petit
tions have been received. The invari-
able practice of the department has
been to forward these petitions to the
governor of New York without rec
mmendation.
State Department officials reiter-
ated today that the department has
no intention of attempting to inter-
fere with the executions.

The author. SPANS greatest dra-

years ago. The Spaniards, believe
Guerrero to be the greatest living
actress and were sceptical about the
ability of any American actress to
give sufficient power to the character
ization of "Raimunda' the soul-tor-
tured heroine of the play.
Eventually Miss O'Neil was chosen
for the. role because II was believed
that she, above any other on the con-

dom of this choice has been proven
by the unanimous approval of both
press and public wherever the play
