THE SCREEN AND ITS NEWEST PHOTOPLAY ATTRACT

The man Of many moods is the
title that Conway Tearle, above any
other male star, has Justly earned
in the course of his long and sue
cessful career as principal in the
course OF his long and successful
career as principal IN several score
of motion pictures and as many
stage plays. II is difficult TO find
another character who has played as
many different roles as effectively
as Tearle.
Whether this is due to his long eX-
perience on the stage and the screen
he began his artistic career A. a
boy-or whether It Is because Of the
natural fiexibility OF his features,
the fact remains that there is hardly
a mood or an emotion in the whole
range OF human sentiment that Con-
way Tearle cannot portray TO per-
lection.
II seems this superb artist is a
Jekyll and Hyde multiplied by ten
II can be said without eGaggeration
that Tearle is one Of the few hg-
ures in the modern photodrama who
knows the secret of transmitting his
mental state to the minds and hearts
of the spectators with all it's orig
inal power.
Conway Tearle comes TO 'whis-
pering Devils" the screen produc-
tion which opens a weeks engage
ment at MOOre's Garden Theater be-
ginning today. with a long series OF
successes There are few interns-
tional stage stars whom he has
failed TO support as leading man.
Ellen Terry, Billie Burke, Ethel
Barrymore, Viola Allen. Grace
George, Clara Kimball Young, are
only some Of the personages that
can be mentioned offhand, with
whom Tearle has appeared. Some OF
the notable photoplsys that have

Net Earnings OF Roads
Due to Less Expense

New York. Aug. 2S--The increased
net earnings of the railroads for the
first six months of this year over the
same period last year. were largely
due to a decrease in expenses and not
to any increase in business, declared
statement issued today by the AS
ISOLATION of Railway Executives. IT
was based on an analysis of railroad
business for this period. prepared by
the bureau Of railway economies.
Fortygve per cent. of these econ
omics arose from reduction in oper-
ating expenses. and 80 per cent from
deferring Of maintenance both of
right of way and of equipment, the
statement said. Fewer trains were
run during this period on account OF
light business. less coal was used
and fewer men employed. No wage
reductions occurred during the first
six months, however. There was al
so large reduction in the amount of
maintenance material used, and few
er damaged cars and engines were
reconditioned than in the same per-
iod in 1920.

is thought to have originated from
an oil stove, though Mrs. Hinkley
aserts that the stove had not been
lighted since 7.30 Sunday morning.
A double roof, such as is often found
in old fashioned buildings made it
very difficult for the firemen to sub
due the blaze which had rapidly
worked its way into the space be-

thoroughly wet down and the ell and
