am always looking for eligible pros poets and they are rare-but I hope to find in your city the very type l want. The other object of my visit is to meet face to face and talk heart to heart with the many warm friends l have here and in other places. who have been kind ugh to say that they like my pictures. I think that is one thing the moving picture actor deplores more chan any thing else--a lack of personal con tact with his audience. People like to know how man really looks, because the screen often paints US worse. and occasionally much better than we are. But at any rate 1t IS an innovation to enjoy ones au- diences personally"
 Tell me which of your many leading ladies you have liked best 1 don't mean personally although if MT. Cody is bachelor it would be interesting to discovery, but I mean as an actress?" 1 begged
 That would be like starting an other war" Mir Cody declared, re- vealing a very delightful sense of humor, They were all fine" (this very diplomatically)

 Was Bessie sarriscale. aud one of the very best actresses I have ever seen" MT Cody replied quickly. "She has been on the legitimate stage ths. season-but I think her play was rather misunderstood-at least .t was not as successful as it might have been"
 Do you find pictures more diff ficult than real acting-1 mean the legitimate stage?" asked
 Pictures are very different--be- cause it is very hard to convey to everybody in an audience just what you wish them to understand" he re- piled. "In the first place, let's com pare the pictures to a newspaper

You have your different departments
 sport editor, society, woman's work, religious, editorial--so that you can convey your thoughts to everybody who Is interested In any one of those especial departments. With a nov fig picture the situation is different for the actor alone must convey to his audience, which is composed of bankers and bakers. society folk and nlebians, rough-necks and high brows-just what each wants; do you see what l mean? It is very diff cult to do this and if >n actor doesn't do this he is lost"
 "In your search for leading ladies, what assets do you regard as the most essential?" I inquired
 There Is only one-personality," Mir. Cody replied promptly, what I mean by that is this: Take a room that is necessary-the chairs and the tables and the writing desk all these are pretty little accessories that go with it beautifully; but the room itself must be there to begin with. So it Is with a leading 'lsdy
 in the moving pictures; she must have personality; all the rest comes; beauty. of course, sis desirable, but not without personality; talent is ad- mirable, but no acting can get over without pefsonalty. I've seen some of, the prettiest women in the world and some of the handsomest men who hadn't a ray of personality; you sim ply looked upon them as beautiful creations On the other hand, have you ever 6lt yourself drawn to some very una sractive looking person by the most insistent magnetism? Bull Montana--I might mention in the moving pictures--is an example of ltremendous personality"
 Pictures are growing better and better each year" Mir. Cody observed
 and If you will recall pictures you saw two years ago even, you will see the difference. This hasn't come through that greatest ogre of the ofession--censorship either-but through the progress of the picture industry and the producers-one of whom I have the honor to behaving s
 found themselves and worked out the most artistic and the most pleas ing picture"
 Understand I do not object to cen sorship," Mir. Cody quickly followed
 "I approve of it; but what I would l like 10 sec Is national board Of cen 'sors composed of picked, unprejudiced
 men and women-with district at
 torney and judge, If necessary, just as the courts have-who are not mar

It Is great to be lover Con the stage) these days.
 If you are young enough and a clever enough actor like Mir Lew Cody, the famous moving picture star, you can cast worry about your present, your past, and your future. to the winds, and calculate to live handsomely on the returns from your Investments in oil or gold or iron or coal--when you retire.
 For 1t is In Loves Young Dream that the average moving picture fan" is interested and as long as Mir Lew Cody, with his handsome physique, his stunning manner, his clear cut features and his French-y y mustachios"-essays the role of lover. which he usually does-you can safely count on the fans" being there in punches
 Mir, Cody is one of the best look ing men on the screen as well as one of the most capable actors-and when I had the pleasure of meeting him yes terday he was the glass of fashion and the mould of form" as our good friend Will Shakespeare would put it.
 A symphony in brown is what I'd have designated his get up" If he'd been a girl--as it is I suppose I should say that sartorially speaking Mir. Cody was dressed In the height of fashion.
 One thing I particularly like about him and that is he is a real man; not the drawing room. dapper, af- fected type, which has been dubbed in modern parlance lounge lizard or jazz hound" or something like that--but he is a stalwart, manly splendid type, chivalrous and cour- teous to a degree and deeply steeped in that much abused word person ality."
 In his brown togs which matched to perfection, MT. Cody presented a pleasing appearance with his affab,e manner and cordiality. a he men toned that he was delighted to be in the warm, sunny south after be- ing snow bound in the wilds of a northern blizzard for the past week.

Started in January.

BATESvILLE. Ark.-A project 10

latent strength into electric power for
all Of Arkansas. parts Of Missouri and

should be an accomplished fact within
TWO years
Work on this program estimated to

iSss, and the system of dams and pow
er plants when completed will be one of
the largest in the country supplying
hydroelectric force sufficient to run
countless mills, factories and power for
all domestic purposes.
Propect Launched in 1912
While first steps toward this spe.
cific project were taken in 1912. by
the Dixie Power company, it was the
Missouri Pacific 20 years ago that made
an investigation of the water power
possibilities in this part of the state to
learn the full benefit such power would
give TO the territory owned by the rail
road. In 1912 in behalf of the Dixie com
pany, a bill was introduced in congress
and passed, but vetoed by President
Taft. Nothing more was done until in
1922 when the present federal power
commission was enacted
A survey showed that there is
drainage area above the proposed Dixie
dam site of $500 square miles with an
average annual rainfall of As inches. 4

square miles could be formed it was
determined giving 1000 primary or

three dams, the largest one across the

and a third on Big North Fork, "a miles
