Former President Wilson is quoted
as expressing commiseration for Mr..
Harding. HE seems" the executive
is said to have remarked, "to be get
ting into much the same situation that
I reached on returning from Paris
finds the fruits Of long labor endan-
gered by the hostile attacks of dis
gruntled minority"
There is no parallel, however. A
patriotic majority of the Senate stood
during the last two years of the VIII
son administration against an effort
of cooperate branch of the federal
government to fasten an unknown
thing up the republic. That patriotic
majority diligently and courageously
sought out and revealed the nature of
the dire undertaking, and then fought
1t in the white light of publicity in
vestigation had made possible-fought
Il and won the victory. Straightway,
the President sulked and in angry
spirit finished his own undertaking by
destroying the thing he had created.
Mr.. Harding is engaged in no such
endeavor as marked Mr. Wilson's
course in erecting a superstate. Mr..
Harding is not treating the nation as
unworthy his confidence, undeserving
of hint as to what is being done in
the country's name. Mr.. Harding is
not threatening, not abusing, his op-
ponents; will not under any circum-
stances interrupt the functioning of
government. Indeed, it would be diff
cult to find two courses SO different in
every way as are those represented
in the Wilson move Of two years ago
and the Harding plan of the present
time-St. Louis Times.

CRITIC SAYS M|TZ|
IS CAPTIVATING As
LITTLE LADY BILLY
Well Known Coincidence Comes
10 Great Falls Soon in
Musical Comedy.

Mitzi. in "Iady Billy" is to be seen
in Great Falls soon, it being n OF
the musical comedies booked for the
Grand theater at an early date. Helen
Black, dramatic critic of the Rocky
Mountain News of Denver, where Mitzi
recently appeared, says:
'Mitzi. an altogether captivating lit
tie mink; a run of catchy melodies,
as many girls as there are varieties
of taste, gay frocks of a surprising
Inewness, q male quartet and an or
chestra. all jumbied into a charming
musical play. This is Lady Billy
which is giving Denver folk their first
taste of musical comedy this season.
Mitzi playfully glided into the hearts
of the opening audience at the Broad
way theater last night and she drew her
company in with her.
1.-THE orchestra entertains you first
with some of the tunes you enjoy whls-
Ting, and the dignified leader who
Ipompously Yields the baton is not to be
ignored. The orchestra is one Of the
type that makes. its presence worth
while. a necessity in successful musical
comedy.
'Of course. the story must provide
the petite star an opportunity to wear
masculine attire. yodel and perform all
of her well known tricks that are Mitzi,
and Lady Billy does all of these things.
AS the impoverished countess who
keeps her castle open and the larder
filled by commercializing the ghost Of
an aunt and an echo rock, she enjoys
adventure, romance and becomes ac-
quainted with an interesting collection
of persons"

RUPERT is MONOLOGlST

"An interview with Rupert Hughes
is simply a monologue," says an in
terviewer in Screenland Magazine. You
just sit there and wait until he gasps
for breath. But he is a brilliant, witty
talker. You sit until you have enough
story. then you walk out. Rupert
would just as soon talk about infantry
tactics as music, about painting as
about football.
