CHINESE MOVIE FANS

CANTON, Sept. 12.-Motion pic
lures with plenty of fast and thrllllng
action draw the large crowds in Chln-
ese movie" houses, while films fea-
turing soul kisses, vamps with Mona
Lisa smiles, and society pictures IN
which the women wear low cut even
ing gowns soon put the proporietors
out of business.
Pictures showing the beautiful hero
inc escaping from bandits, who are
carrying her away in an aeroplane,
by humping frOm> the plane to tast-
moving train or being rescued from
the Indians, just as she is to be burn
ed at the stake, by brave cowboy
are demanded by the Chinese audi
ences
According to the representative OF
the Hong Kong Amusement Compan!
in Canton, the Chinese are bored to
death by prolonged loVe-maklnS
scenes and schocked by the extreme
decoliete and the airyfairy draperles
worn by wood nymph dancing maid
ems with wealth of flowers on their
flowing tresses.
The naughty vamp who wrecks a
happy home does not bring thrill
to a Chinese audience. While pa
thetic pictures with plots woven
around the prodigal son, the daugh-
ter who marries the villain to save
the old homestead or the sweet coun-
try maiden who loves her cows and
chickens and wins the heart of the
millionaire club man away from the
blase woman of the city by her sim
plicity will not produce interested
alone tear or handicap.
What the Chinese movie fan wants
is action. He delights in thrilling
dramas of adventure, narrow escapes
from the claws of death, and he must
have a happy ending where right tri-
umphs over wrong after many diff
culties.
They are also very fond of come
dies and have keen sense of humor.
They rock with laughter over Charlie
,, Chaplin, Harold Lloyd and Ben Tur-
pin pictures. Often the programme
| for an afternoon or evening perform
anco will offer only comedies.
Among the women actresses es-
pesially popular in Canton are Ruth
Roland and Pearl White. In the lob
by of the Pearl Theatre are highly
colored posters illustrating three Ruth
Roland pictures which are to be
shown in the near future.
The thrilling escapades set forth on
the vivid billboards are n source of
never ending wonderment to the pros
pectivc patrons who collect in front
of the theatre to discuss the plot po-
tentialitics suggested in the illuustra-
tionS.
The Pearl Theatre is the one big
movie house of Canton and the man.
agement Is hoping to educate his au-
diences to appreciate The five and sew
en-reel features. As it is they now
demand only the long serial with grip
ping continuous action and comedies.
The management shows only Amer
ican-made films, for the Chinese pre-
fer the American pictures to those
made by English, French or Italian
companies. When films other than
those made in America are shown the
management informed me. his audi
ence is very smah and may dwindle
away altogether unless the bill isl
changed or an American film added
to the same programme.

SCOTT TELLS
SHEEP lei STORY
Gilby Farmer Fights Shy Of
Democratic Tariff
Promises /.
Ny Ed,tnr.

Mr.. Editor:
Today l want to tell my sheep story
I mentioned in my last letter to you
and Hope you will be kind enough to
publish It in the Herald.
In. 1899 for zhapy% years before I
kept quite q large band Of sheep and
though wool was not very good price
,t1sc,t 20c,per1b.)e nd fat lambs very
low compared. with present prices, I
thought &c per ID. live weight at South
st. Paula satisfactory price and, could
make some motley every year In the
sheep business. Then the political
Democratic friends made the tariff the
Issue. They told pS> farmers we were
getting no benent from the high pro-
tective Mckinley tariff" and that IL
we'd put them In charge. Of our gov
eminent. they would fix 1t so we'd get
Just as good or better prices for our
wheat. wool and other farm products
had to sell and, that we could buy
what we had to buy very much
ccheaper:
n1ring the campaign, I learned
from my nefghbors that had been
voting the Republican ticket in the
past and called themselves Republi-
cans had been stung with the Demo-
cratic theme Of tariff for revenue only.
They were goinE|to vote for Cleveland
n the Democratic program. l had
over 100 sheep ranging out north Of
Niagara, this county, and when In
Grand Forks one day I expressed my
opinion to a prominent Democrat that
I believed the, country was going
Democratic and that II it did and that
1fthey put wool and mutton on the free
list. and that was their promised bro
gram, the sheep business would be all
shot to pieces. I also SAID that as
soon az I could I: was going to ship
my bunch of sheep to Chicago aud see
what they would bring, which was a
very satisfactory price to me at the
time.
Specific Instance.
My Democratic friends tried to per-
suade me that. I was foolish to sell my
sheep-that duty free wool would be
very beneficial to the country and to
the sheep owners. He was supported
by another friend who dropped in. 1t
happened that both were stockholders
IN the Prouty Livestock Co, which
dealt largely in all kinds Of livestock.
Our argument finished with me telling
them I was, going out Of the sheep
business and that II they were in the
business and believed free wool would
be beneficial to sheep owners, they
had hotter buy my sheep and I named
a very attractive price I'd take for my
bunch Of sheep.
They were good sports and said II
Mr.. Prouty approved Of the company
buying the sheep, they'd take them
and sent for Mr.. Prouty. / arranged

Senate, Mr.. Gronna, was defeated be-
cause he wasn't radical enough to
suit the Non-Partisan League which

Now Mr.. Gronna has turned some
what to the conservative side OF
things and looks for support mostly
from the elements which are appar-

recent defeat of the Non-Partisan
League in state elections would indi-
cate. But Mr.. McCumber originally
a regular and a conservative flirted
a bit with the Non-Partisan League
six years ago and was elected by a
comfortable majority. His dilemma
today is therefore this: shall he lean
toward the radical side, stick closer
to the agricultural bloc and make a
bid for the Non-Partisan League
vote in North Dakota, or shall he
follow the trend of the recent elec-
tions and cut the ground, so to

The cause of the complaint centers
around the act which provides that

maturing at the end of five years.
This has been a great handicap, it is
said, to the sale of the bonds and
has caused bankers and others to
withhold their bids. The bonds begin

and every year thereafter until the
twentieth year at the rate of $25O,0O0
