quests have been received by the

Harry Paulton. a former English
playwright, and author of "Erminie',

The scat sale for Her Temporary

Thursday morning. Believing that
the price of theater tickets, should
be reduced in accordance with the
decrease in other commodities. the
management Of the oliver has set
the price of the bes1seats at 50. The
view of Manager Wood is that a re-
duction in the price of attractions
results in g larger gross business.
This fact was demonstrated in the
recent local engagement of Mitzi in
Lady Billy"
Following the engagement here,
Her Temporary Husband" will open
at the Cort theater in Chicago.

(By international News Service)
 New York. Feb. 20-A chapter which completes to date the story of Francis Bret Hartes unfortunate family has been written. It is told herewith by Richard Bret Harto nephew of the famous American au- thor.
 It completely bridges a gap which biographers have been trying to en- compass. But it is another chapter of suffering and sorrow brought about by separation, with which the history of Harte's survivors appears replete.
 When last December it was he vealed that Mrs. Jessamy Bret Tlarto Steele, fayorite daughter of the au- thor. was in an insane asylum at Ogdensburg, \. N., the news solved for the unfortunate womans kin a mystery they had been trying tc penetrate for years and brought the family to her assistance.

 The story of Richard Bret Harte's efforts to locate his aunt is told in a letter received from Vienna, which follows:

 'I believe that the United States should extend sufficient credits to foreign countries, say $1,000, ,000,- 900, taking as security municipal, government and approved industrial securities of those countries and giv- ing them ten or fifteen years in which to repay The credit so es- tablished should be used in the purchase of our agricultural pro- ducts and used in such a way that the advantages to be derived from providing it would directly reach our producers-not be consumed ill intermediate agencies.
 "We spent thirty billion dollars to help save democracy-let us now spend one or two billions to help save agriculture and perhaps civilization itself"
 The result of this suggestion may be that the government will be petitioned by the farmers of the country to embark on the undertak- ing of financing foreign countries so that American products may be bought.

 The incident Saturday night was rather unfortunate for the manage
 ment of the Royal inasmuch it may cause some to feel apprehensive ol danger in attending picture shows when. in reality, there was no dan 1 ger to the audience whatever. The incident, iii fact, merely proved the safety of the booth and that II actually conforms to and accom- plishes just what the insurance un- derwriters had in mind when they formulated the requirements under which the booths should be built, that it is impossible for fire to es- cape from the enclosure.
 MT. Collins, manager of the Royal and Majestic, told a representative of The Press this morning that he very much regretted the incident and hoped the patrons of both the Royal and Majestic will appreciate the fact that he has provided am pie protection againsh fire, fully proved by the exciting episode Sat urday night. He said it was going to serve as an example and cause him to make absolutely certain re garding the provision of safety ar engagements at both play houses. He feels gratificd to know that he has actually provided booths of the type that have. proved thoroughly safe. If 1,S00 feet of burning film will not cause a spark of fire to leave the projecting room he thinks there should be very little appre- hension of danger from that source in the Paragould theaters.
 With all the seriousness of the situation that appeared to exist at the play house Saturday when the film burned, there were numerous amusing incidents. Chalky com plexions and quivering, praycrful lips were in evidence as the crowd poured from the smoking theater; there was tear-stained face here and there and the individual who a few minutes before was scared within an inche of his life, emerged from the entrance full of declara
 tion that he wasn't scared a bit. The amusing phase of the situation was revealed when it became known that there was no occasion for the near-stampcdo. Many of them ac- cepted tickets to the Majestic aud completed their evenings amuse- ment Tickets to the Majestic were distributed by Manager Collins to those who desired to see the offer ing at the Majestic.

(By The United Press)

Washington, Feb. 21.-President Harding is strongly in favor of post poning soldier bonus legislation un- til next year, it was learned today from reliable authority. The pres ident communicated his views to a republican senator who called at the White House. He did not say that he would veto the bonus bill if it were sent to him, but indicated that he might do so if protests con- tinued to reach him.

the president said no records were kept of conversations which were purely informal. Even if there were records, he said, he would regard it incompatible to public policy to reveal them He said that he could reassure, the Senate, however, that there was no secret understanding.

The Royal theater on North Pru- ct street was the scene of consid- erable excitement Saturday night at o'clock when film that was being run through the projectine machine in the operators booth caught fire and was destroyed Ap- proximately 1,S00 feet of film was burned, representing all the damage cident. The house was about two thirds filled with spectators when the flash came and, not knowing the nature of the blaze, many of those present became excited and a nearstampede followed. However no enc was hurt. The film was valued at 12 cents foot, representing a loss of $216.00
 The blaze was caused by the film becoming entangled in front of the intense electric light heat and the entire 1900 feet reel was burning in flash and the fire over with before the audience was conscious of what had happened. The pro jecting machine was being operated by Mr. Cupp and he immediately stepped outside the booth and closed the door, completely enclosing the heat and smoke from the theater proper, eliminating even a remote danger of the flame spreading The operator announced to the audience there was no danger, but hysteric- al few caused the excitement to sweep through the audience and a hurried exit was made through both front and rear of the theater. The fire department was promptly upon the scene but had no service to per form.
 Few persons are familiar with the safety arrangement of the op- erating rooms of picture theaters, otherwise an incident like that of Saturday night would have caused little commotion. The operators booth is a steel and asbestos lined compartment, completely enclosing every part of the work that is per formed in connection with projecting a picture upon the screen When the operator steps from the booth and closes the door, the compart- ment becomes solidly encased with steel and asbestos, making it as stove entirely impossible for fire to be communicated from that source to the building proper.
 Under the new and revised in- surance underwriters rules, no pie ture theater may operate without first being provided with just the type of projecting machine booth as supplied at both the Royal and Majestic theaters. The rule is very rigid because the film through which the picture is thrown upon the screen is highly inflammable and the underwriters are conscious of the fact that ill event film catches fire it must immediately be enclosed, eliminating even q re-
