is the only soldier who can wear a

General Hs. No Heal Power.
Pershing is like an cx-prcsident. He
has practically no real power in the
army. The real hean of tho army in
the sense of being active in having
power is the chief of staff. PERISH
ing's friends and partsans think that
to have the exalted honor that Cen
eral Pcrshing has. but to be excluded
from the real power and activity that
the chief of staff has. is not best.
What they want and are now ener-
change the statutes and customs SO as
to make General Pershing in effect
chief of staff by attaching to his posi-
ton as general OF the army all the
power and much OF the activity that
III. chief OF staff now has.
Roughly. the idea is to make the
chior OF staff subordinate to the gem
cral of the army. instead OF indcpon-

arm: the actual and active head of
the organization. There IS an earnest

Some of his most successful stories have been those with a business setting or at mospnere. Some sixty or seventy of lis stories have been published in the Saturday Evening Post alone.
 Believing in the truth of his own Ieories as above quoted, MT. Wool ley has determined to make a close study Of the technique of screen sec mario writing and film production.

Miss Williams, herself supported by Frank Fenning and Don Trent, will contribute sensational dramatic pIaylet presenting G. tragic episode en- titled ''The Unknown Law.

 Another feature which will appeal especially to the feminine portion of the audience will be Miss Williams famous NFashion Review, in which will be shown some of the most mag nificent wardrobe creations ever shown on any stage. This produc- ton is more than a. good a11-around burlesque show. for in addition to eX- ceiling in every department, it offers a diversity which the many brilliant innovations prevent from ever sinking into mediocreness of disinterestedness.
