"'ToL'ABLE DAVID, At REX
TODAY AN1 TOMORROW

The story of David and Goliath is
given a modern counterpart, in the
First National attraction, "Tol'abIe
David" by Richard Barthelmess, who
in one Of the nose thrilling fight
scenes ever depicted for the films as
a mere STRIPPING Of a youth, attacks
and kills a vertiable giant OF the
mountains, in the performance, Of his
duty. "Tol'able David" is being shown
at the Rex theatre today and Thurs
day., ,.;..
Barthelmess big fight scene comes
at the elimination of two encounters
with villains, father and son, who are
seeking to retain the government mail
sack which is entrusted to his charge.
David kills them both, but before the
one dies he hurls chair at the boy
he was wounded and has his revenge
in seeing the gun drop from the boys
grasp.
/ When Luke. another brother, the
modern Goliath, steps onto the scene
David is defenseless, with his left arm
useless because of a bullet wound.
Needles of this, with the agility Of a
tiger he leaps upon his foe and there
'ensues one of the most thrilling fights
imaginable.
It ends when David, with almost
superhuman strength. hurls his huge
adversary over his back and falling
i'm so doing he stumbles on his lost
revolver

MAY McAVOY'S A CITY GIRL
BUT CAN PLAY FARM ONES

May McAvoy will be seen here
tonight last appearance at the
Grand theatre in the role of humble
little country drudge in "Homespun
Vamp."
Miss McAvoy is one actress who
cannot point back to- childhood's hap
py days down on the farm or in some
inconspicious village where her rise
to fame is the favorite local topic OF
conversation. TT
For the clever little actress who has
been recently raised to stellar heights
by Realart is born and bred New
Yorker; in fact previous to going to
California to make picture she had
been rarely more than short distance
from the great metropolis.
Her triumphs, however, accentuate
that fact that not all successful peo-
pie come from the provinces; a great
many, in fact, develop either in spite
or because of the crowed life of the
bigger cities.

TURK ADOP HNe
VESTS CUSTOM

Lausanne. Dec. t5.-European
diplomats believe that the admis-
sion Of Turkey to the League Of
Nations will impart new vigor and
. new meaning to that organiza-
ton. From the beginning Of the
Near East conference the Turkish
leaders have stressed their desire
to westernize their country; and
European statesmen are convinced
cooperation by Turkey In the
leagues AFFAIRS would prove an I'm
portant step In the maintenance OF
a general peace.
The thoroughly occidental aspect
of most Turkish delegates has Inn
pressed conferees. Some members
Of the delegation remain loyal to
the fez, but generally speaking the
men from Angora and CONSTANT
nople present an appearance as
smartly western as that Of any Eur
opean diplomats. Several Turkish
delegates are here with their wives,
who are fashionably gowned in the
latest Partisan modes and are the
center of interest at the afternoon
teas in the Lausanne hotels.

The Tri-City Railway company
yesterday took steps to INTRODUCES
IL Identification card system OF
fares on its Davenport lines.
Resolutions to this eject were
offered at the regular session Of the
Davenport city council last night,
but not discussed, nor was there
any indication Of the attitude OF
the council upon the proposed
change. simultaneously with this
proposal, the Peoples Light COM
many submitted new gas rates .of
$1.3O 1000 for the councils ratt-
fication. The present rate 10 $l-4O.
The lower. scale will be effective
within a month, officials said. and
formalities Of voting changes In
the city's franchises will be hur-
ried through.
There is no indication, however.
when action on. the identification
card system on the traction lines
will be sought. The ordinance
which the rail lines asked the coun-
Gil to adopt and incorporate in Its
franchise is identical with that eff
fective on this side of the river. Its
adoption will mean recognition OF
the Identification card on all lines.
Davenport is now paying an g.
cent fare. This rate was secured
prior to the Illinois commerce COM
mission order directing a 10-cent
basic fare in the Illinois cities with
an identification card system which
permits the holder Of such card
to ride for a nickel. Reports from
the Illinois lines indicate that the
system has been a success and aid
ed materially in solving revenue
problems of the corporation.
