"Where is MY wandering BOY To-
nisht?" Filmed from Age Old Song,
Said to be Master Picture of Its
Kind.
"Where Is My Wandering Boy To-
night?" the melodramatic Offering
that comes to the Opera House be-
ginning this afternoon, promises an
unusual treat for lovers of homely
drama that gets under the skin. 1t
is a splcndidy photographed produc-
ton and tells story that touches
every human heart and does it in a
way to grip the interest and hold it
in it's clutch to the last flicker of the
picture. "Where Is My Wandering
Boy Tonight" as one can conjecture
from this sentimental title, has heart
interest in abundance And the
strain on the feelings is lightened at
times by situations calling for quiet
| Chucllles rather than laughter.
| The dominating note is simplicity.

Small-town folks-the' mother, her
son and the latter's sWeetheart-and

banker combined. The fourth men,
Der of the quartet is q girl Of the
show in the city In the situations
revolving around the Boy and the
Show Girl there are flashes of Broad
way life as it was in the old days
of cabaret, with danci:g girls and
clinking glasses and riotous mirth.
The acting opportunities lay with

Boardman is the Mother. and it is

would be fine thing to put his--the
| Senator's clip into it.
| The Senator added that these. were
! the facts and he DID not believe any
one in the Senate would charge that It
had in any way influenced his course
with respect to tariff on wool.
u do net think" he said. ''that any
Senator will accuse me Of being dis-
honest or will Intimate that that trans
action controlled my motives in any
way so far as that is concerned"
Senator Kellogg. of Minnesota,
opening the tariff debate. vigorously
urged the adoption Of the Lcnroot
amendment.
I He strongly objected TO placing an
unreasonable duty on raw materials
entering into the production OF cloth
| ing. He Favored encouragement of the
wool industry, but contended the
rates on coarse woods, little OF which
are produced in this country, were e%
cessive and unreasonable.
Sees New Republican Defeat
The Payne -Aldrich bill defeated the
Republican party because of its eek
orbitant rates" in the wool schedule,
according to Senator Lenroot, and he
sounded warning that this was likely
to occur again, and result in free wool
that the effects Of the Payne-Aldrich
bill in the Taft Administration had de-
feated the Republican party was chal-
lenged by Senator McCumber
He said, sit was Teddy Roosevelt and
his popularity as against the nominee
Of the Republican party"
Senator McCumber asserted Eoose-
welt was ambitious for g third term
and that Taft had become unpopular
! mainly through his advocacy Of reci-
procity with Canada.
he had forgotten his story and cited
the Winona (Minn.) speech by Taft,
which aroused storm Of protest at
the time.
But the thing above all others, ac-
cording to Senator McCumber, that the
Republicans did in connection with the
1909 tariff bill which caused their de-
feat was not Schedule X, but their re-
fusal to put print paper on the free
list.
/ Quotes Charge or Publishers
"They refused to put print paper
upon the free list" said Senator Ne
Cumber. THAT was the real crime.
| Tho publishers said to the committee:
! support tho Republican party and the
Administration, and II you don't we'll
! destroy you il we cams
The men on the Finance Committee,
he added, were not towards. They
stood "for principle" and the party
went down to defeat.
Senator Robinson, of Arkansas,
called the statement Of Senator Nc
Cumber "a terrible and appalling in
dictment against the press of the
United States and the men who control
its policies"
He called on Senator McCumber for
definite and complete information"
and whether the statement was made
in public or private.
"This charge" he said, "assails the
honor. and integrity of the newspapers
of this nation. Who were the COM
mittee? Whom did the committee
represent? Were the statements re-
duced to writing7 How does it hap
pen that Mr.. Taft went down to defeat
and that the real cause Of his defeat
has been withheld and not made public
until today"
/ Senator Robinson said it was his
recollection that the Republican papers
