and brand new topical songs put
the number over with a bang.
The latter number serves to in

voice, the combination resulting in
a high class and delightful offer

"Across the Divide"

There can be no complaint on the score of no plot to Across the Di- vide' the Playgoers feature starring Rex Ballard and Rosemary Theby at the Lyric theatre today It is the story of the devotion and sacrifice of a half-breed Indian for his white half brother. The Indian is determined that their worthless brutal father shall not ruin both their lives. A double romance enhances the pie lures interest.
 Wallace Layson, without knowledge of who he really was, had been brought up by Buck, Q half breed, in whose care the boy had been left when a baby by his mother, who, on her deathbed, implored the half breed to protect her son from his cruel fath- CT.
 On his twenty-first birthday the Kid would inherit large ranch. As Buck feared, on that day Kenneth Layson wandered back to Lone Center, pre- pared to use every trick to secure his sons fortune Layson put Rosa, a dance hall girl, up to marrying the Kid. Rosa, piqued over the neglect of Dago, whom she loved, agreed.

Meeting of French Cabinet Called by
 Premier .Poincare

PARIS. August 15.-(By The Asso- ciated Press)-Premier Poincare has called a meeting of the French cab inet for Wednesday morning to con- slider the international situation, it was announced tonight, The premier will renew his instructions to M. Louis Dubois, president of the reparations commission to oppose the proposed moratorium for Germany, it was learned.
 In French official circles it is be- Iieved that Belgium will take the same attitude toward the moratorium as France. The commission will thus stand two for and two against the pro- ject, unless M. Dubois, as president, is conceded deciding vote, as has been the practice since the United States was not officially represented.
 Premier Poincare is not bound by any conclusions of the London confer ence, according to the official claim here. It is asserted that the French have complete liberty of action in the situation and that the government will prepare for an independent course in case the moratorium should be grant ed.

Western Lanpasas
 Reports Progress
 on Texas Property

The Lometa (TeX.) Reporter car ries the following account of work on the Western Lampasas Oil Company's property that will probably be of in- terest to the many stockholders here:
 Operators in charge of work at Whittenburg No. 1 of the Western Lampasas Oil Company's test well three miles northwest of Lometa, are feeling very sanguine of early success Mention was made last week of the fact that gas and oil sand had been encountered at around 336S feet and that casing was being pulled prepara- tory to resetting and casing out a flow of water that was holding back sue cessful bringing in of the well. Ream- ing on the hole has been in progress all week and it is expected that this will be completed tomorrow (Satur day) night. The casing will then be put back in the hole at a place where hard formations were encountered be- low the water, find, when the hole will be swabbed for final results. So san guine are those in charge as to get ting oil so soon as the weight of water is removed that the work of preparing storage will be begun within the week, so they inform the Reporter.
 Whether oil is actually going to be found, no one can say for certain, but it is a fact that public confidence is bolstered up to the extent nearby land owners are feeling real chesty and want more for leases than ever before in the history of the field"

MOVIES
"The c,harming Deceiver"

Alice Calhoun, the Vitagraph star, who will appear at the Eagle theatre tonight and at the Central theatre Thursday in ''The Charming Deceiv- er," is always resourceful in an emergency.
 While filming final scenes for this production near a small Long Island town, the fan belt of her motor car snapped without warning She was returning home after a difficult after noOn's work and was bringing several of the players and technical men with her. Her friends worried about getting back to New York, because they were stalled in a lonely spot Miss Calhoun did not get excited and did not appear worried She smiled all the while and took the matter as huge joke. Her rowing eyes caught the glimpse of a grocery store in the distance. It was one of the old crossroads country stores where any thing from a yeast cake to a horse blanket might be purchased.
 The star skipped down the road to the grocery store and soon returned with several yards of clothes line. In few moments she had impro- vised fan belt that served until the machine was brought before her garage in New York City. Miss Cal houn uses her own car for several scenes in the picture.
