REAL SEA SETTINGS
USED IN VALENTINO MOVIE.
Meiggs Wharf, one of the best known
water front locations in San Francisco,
is the scene of some exciting action in
Moran Of the Lady Lefty" which
George Milford has produced for Para
mount, with Dorothy Dalton in the fac
ture role, and Rudolph Valentino as the
male lead.
The majority of the scenes are actually
laid in the locations used by the author,
Frank Norris, whose work was translated
to the screen by Monte VI. Katterjohn.
Water scenes were also made aboard
ship outside the headlands and through
Golden Gate. In Magdalena Bay was To-
Gated the lair of the notorious Captain
Kitchell, an Eurasian cutthroat, played
by Walter Long.
Rudolph Valentino appears as Ramon
Leredo, a wealthy scion of an aristocratic
Spanish family, who is shanghaied aboard
a smuggler. Thus he meets Moran, the
hardy, elemental girl who dresses as a
man and handles a ship like a master.
Then follow fights with Kitchell's gang
of bloodthirsty miscreants, struggles with
mutinous sailors and the blowing up of
the ship. A real sea tale!
Moran of the Lady Lefty" will be tie

present time than ever before in the
history of American welfare effort,
but that the people are demanding
that there be less number of drives
or demands upon their purse. Not
that they do not desire to give freely
to the highly essential causes deserv-
ing of their support, but they are de-
manding that some of the non essen
tial claims which are made upon their
purse should go over until later sea-
son, more especially since the Smyrna
disaster of a few weeks ago when a
million dependent people were thrown
upon the charity of the world, which,
of course, means the charity of Amer
lea since the foreign countries are
themselves taxed to the utmost to take
care of the deserving causes In their
own midst.
Il do not find many people who
are tired of giving" Mr.. Biby says.
The fact of the business is the large
majority of the people who make pos
sible the great charitable work in
which America is now engaged, which
has done more to win the love and re-
spect of the world for America (ex-
cepting, of course, the contribution to
the worlds happiness which our boys
made in France), are not the people
whom you hear say they are tired of
giving. Most of the folks who say
they are tired of giving are not heavy
contributors to work of this descrip-
ton.
Ourlns peace Tunes, as was d!So
the case during the war, a certain ele-
ment of our people give the greater
per cent of the contributions regularly
and they represent a minority among
the public as a whole.
I'VE have among US those folks who
have never got the habit of giving to
anything, and whether 1t is a deserv-
ing cause or not makes no difference
They have just neglected to get the
habit of thinking of the other fellow.
But once the ice is broken with this
element they become our largest con-
tributors."

 Under the new provision the Re- serve Corps Advisory Commission will be permitted to make recommends tions concerning the revision of the army, now so much discussed in the Chamber of Deputies.

SCOL.D|S BRITISH FOR IGNORING
 |. 5. WRITERS

LONDON, May 4. - London, like Gopher Prairie, needs some American uplift.
 That at least is the impression given by Sinclair Lewis, author of Main Street." in a rather scolding speech which he delivered here to group of English authors, publishers, actors and dramatists.
 Lewis, who is in England writing another novel, caused somewhat ot a sensation when he was introduced as a speaker at an informal gathering at an exclusive Bohemian Club, for he failed to dispense the usual "hands across the seas' batter which pleases. Instead he read sort of literary riot act to the English intellectuals.
 American literature has just got to be recognized by you Britishers," /" Lewis scolded "We've got there. We're going to stay there; and you have got to realize that whether you
 
 like it or not.
 AMERICAN WRITER REBUFFED
 "The American market is open and always has been to the British writer, but the American writer does not get the same treatment over here."
 Stacy Aumonier, widely known in the British literary circles, was in the chair. He gasped. The club members who had applauded Lewis when he was introduced were astounded and lapsed into collective daze while the fiery red-headed American author pro- ceeded in his scolding Announcement of the manner in which Great Britain is receiving the written art of Amer ica. Lewis was listened to attentive lv, but it is needless to say that the club members did not exert themselves with applause when he finished, and he was followed by a Japanese poet, who sensed the atmosphere and at tempted to smooth matters over by a liberal tribute to Great Britain's ap- preciation of world literature.
 There were threats of denuncia- ton of Lewis by some members of the club and Chairman Aumonier
