HOWs CROPS?

By Dixon Merritt, Division of
Crop and Live Stock Estimates, U.
S. Department of Agriculture.
If you read the crop reports of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, you have noticed the ex-
preston, "The condition of the corn
crop is IS per cent of normal," or
the like,
When the averages are made for
State or for the entire country, the
improbability of a normal condi-
ton. increases so tremendously that
it in practice it may be, said never
to exist.
Tobacco, cotton, peanuts, timothy:
these are the fouc crops TO which
Tennessee farmers have planted
more acres this year than last. In
way it indicates return to old
established customs that were ov-
erturned by the war and scrambled
in, the chaos of reconstruction.
European markets which used to
take the bulk.6f our, dark tobacco,
were ruined by the war and only
just now beginning to "come back. !"
The tobacco acreage this year is not
more than enough. to bring Tennes-
see back to whe& it used to be.
Peanut production has fallen off
during recent years for several rea-
sons. Though the acreage in Ten
nessee this year is 1872 per cent of
last years acreage it is still far be-
low that of ten years ago.
The increase in the timothy acre
age is in line with the old system of
keeping a considerable part OF each
farm, in Middle and EaSt. Tennessee
at, least, in permanent pasture and
meadow.
The increase of the cotton acreage
to 1928 per cent of last year but
nobody knows what an increase in
cotton means, and probably would
not dare say it if he did.
The International Harvester Com
pany, Chicago, has a bulletin for
free distribution that should be read
and studied by every farmer in Ten
neSsee.

FOOLISH WIVES
FILM SENSATION
TO BE PRESENTED
Won SSttrro lhleiiInri Picture Artistic and
Startling.

Starting.
Foolish Wives" Universals costly
photodrama if life and intrigue at
Monte Carlo, which is coming to Rey-
nolds Theatre, has been heralded as
the costliest and biggest picture ever
screened. 1t lives up to its promises.
Never has there been such kaleido-
scopic array of beautiful settings and
artistic photography combined with
such adept Characterization and care
full direction.
Erich Won Stroheim, the author,
director and star of the picture, has
made screen masterpiece. Whatever
faults it may have, and no picture
is perfect, they are submerged by the
force of the theme, by the readiness
of the atmosphere, and by the vivid
portrayals of Won Stroheim and his
supporting cast.
1t is easy to see where Universal
spent the $1,103,736 the picture is
said to have cost. Monte Carlo, it's
principal buildings, its crowds, its
activities and it's very spirit have been
transferred to the screen for Foolish
Wives. The film company admits
spending $421, 900 alone for the elab-
crate sets built in California in du-
plication of buildings, parks, villas
and promenades at Monte Carlo.

Liberty Becomes a
Burlesque Theatre
On Two Show Plan

Burlesque is to be the future
policy of the Liberty theatre, in
Davenport, beginning with the
matinee performance tomorrow aft
ernoon. Two shows will be given
daily, at 2:15 and S:15, the pro-
grams, to change once weekly, with
the Sunday matinees.
Modern, refined burlesque, devoid
of anything offensive to the most
exacting patron, is promised by the
management, with company of 27
people. Patronage of women will
be especially solicited, with popu-
lar matinees for ladies daily at 2:15
with a specially low price.
While it is impossible to form a
set policy in so new venture, the
management of the Liberty will at
tempt to provide entertainment that
the patrons indicate they desire,
and should it seem advisable, new
methods may be introduced later.
Burlesque today has big follow
ing in the larger centers of popu-
lation, many having as many as
four burlesQue houses. The Lib
erty management believes the tri-
city community is large enough to
support continuous burlesque at
popular prices.
The opening offering, THE Pen
nant Winners" is a clean show of
bright, catchy music, smart COM
edy with settings and costuming,
the management says, equal to any
of the big shows.
The new management of the Lib
erty is composed of experienced
showmen who have made a success
of past ventures in burlesque.
There will be two shows daily,
each show lasting two and a half
hours.

Tonight and Sunday
Brings Three Wise
Fools" to Illinois

A mighty interesting event for
the theatrical season is the attrac-
ton of Three Wise Fools" which
John Golden will present at the
Illinois theatre tonight and Sunday
night. This Austin Strong comedy
is now in its fourth season OF tri-
umphant existence, as demanding
as ever on the favors OF the pub
lie. because it is a play for all time.
Just as It is for all humanity.
Running a full season in New
York city at the Criterion theatre,
the year it opened, it played TO i'm
mense business in Chicago for six
months, then three months each in
Boston and Philadelphia, and dou
bled back to those cities for return
engagements. 1t was also present
ed for a complete season in Lon
don. and toured Australia and the
orient.
John Golden considers it the best
of the many hits he has scored.
This even includes the worlds rec
ord breaker, "Lightnin'," and THE
First Year" Dear Me-" Turn TO
the Right" and the new Winchell
Smith-Tom Gushing play, Thank
YOU" Golden's esteem for this
particular comedy is it's latent APP
peal as shown in the immense bus
mess 1t has done everywhere. even
at times outplaying the records for
road capacities set by The famous
Ben Hur."
John W. Ransone, well known in
the theatre as the original Hans
Wagner OF THE Prince of Pilsen,"
and now established as one of the
leading comedians of the American
stage since he abandoned musical
comedy, will have an important and
leading role. His leading lady will
be Hazel Sexton, who scored a hit
when she appeared in THE Road
to Happiness" with William Hodge.
