Talented Emotional Actress Has Greatest Role in New
 est Picture

Q The Last Payment" Pola Negri's latest picture and her first story of modern times, is going to be the spe- ciai attraction at the Galax thea tre Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday only.
 "The Last Payment" Is hailed as Pola Negri's greatest achievement, giVing her undoubted emotional tall ent greater range than anything in which she has yet appeared.
 Poia Negri is not only one of the most talented actresses of the screen. but she is beautiful and magnetic to an extraordinary degree. She is of Polish birth and by temperament and education, one of the greatest and most artistic opponents of the dra- matic art in the world. In "The Last Payment she is seen as a beautiful ruthless, frivolous woman who, after causing great trouble in the lives of others, pays the memorable penalty. It is subtle screen characterization that will live long in the memory of all who see the picture
 The story deals with a frfvolous woman whose beauty brings tragedy into several lives and ultimate trag- edy in her own. The picture exerts powerful appeal and from the standpoint of superior production. there is little lacking. The scenes are laid in Paris and South America and there are many tense situations whlchtgrip the spectator by reason of their dramatic qualities.

Riotous Comedy Rebooked for All This Week-0ne of
 Reid'S Best Pictures

Here is good news for the thousands who were so disappointed when an accident destroyed part of tho new Wallace Reid feature, Rent Free, 70 and made it necessary to postpone the showing of this riotous comedy after one days exhibition The Strand management announces that 1t has booked Rent Free" for this week.
 Rent Free is one of the best pie lures Mir Reid has ever had
 As an impecunious young author, Wallace Reid is declared to be at his best, while his supporting cast con- tafns such well known players as Lila Leo, Gertrude Short, Clarence Geldart and others.
 The star iz evfeted from a conven- t1onal studio because of his inability to pay the rent. He has followed his own ambition to study art and cul- t1vate if rather than give heed to his parent concerning taking up law as a profession He takes life humorousiy even p4HiiosopflicaIly and being evicted doesn't worry him to any ex- tent. Like Peg, who turned to Mike when sine WAS confronted with trouble the hero turns to his terrier and the dog wags his tail in sympathy.
 The youth is Rot making much peogre3s with his &rt. He even for gets it while he encourages a couple Of gfrfs w1ro have also pitched their tent on the roof to smile for him. He even reScues them from a storm. THHen he descends below stairs from enc of the best dancers on tho stage He takes up quarters without asking any questions. It turns ovt that the home rightfuliy belongs to the heroine but her stepmother has intervered and influenced the giri's father to give everything to her. How things are worked out is said to make a most delightful conclusion.

EngliShman Visits Forbidden City of LhaSa and De-

By Associntnd press

London, February 1S,@The Dalai Lama or Tibet, the religious and secu- lar head of that secluded country han to work harder than the average Brit ish or American business man. He gets up at o'clock in the morning and labors until midnight, notwith- standing the fact that he is unques- tionably the 'big boss"
 SIT Charles Bell, British political otncer in India, who has just re- turned after years residence in the romantic forbidden city" Of Lhasa, the Tibertan capital, says the Dalai Lama. is wonderful person alty. Sir Charles is one of the few europeans who have mastered the Tlbetan language and this helped him to become friendly with the head ot all Tibet
 He paid me the honor of inviting me into the forbidden enclosure ot his country palace" said Sir Charles.
 This was a little wonderland ot flowers, birds and wild animals-a hidden retreat where he gives deep thought both to his religious ana state affairs. Hundreds of canaries were singing here, and there were also stags, pheasants and a great tiger from Bengal"
 Climate Very Cold
 The climate was intensely cold when Sir Charles arrived, and for days the temperature indoors never rose above freezing point. In the place of window glass, Tibetans used a sort of wax cloth. It lets the wind in, but they are a hardy race and do not appear to feel the discomfort ot the cold
 Mutton. yak beef and pork are the staple diet" Sir Charles went on. Tibetans do not like either chickens or eggs. They do not sleep on beds but on the floor, on which are placed large downy cushions. You lie on top of these and fold them over you. They are very comfortable and warm.
 There is an official date for win ter to begin and end. and the fur hat l and other warm garments ordained for officials are invariably worn 1 without regard to weather conditions ! between those dates. However, com ] fortable the official may be with the | fur hat April 25 or without it after | that date, he would never dream ot departing from the sartorial conven- 1 ton in public for five minutes. The 1 etiquette of the people is very elab- orate and strict.
 No Police or Bremen
 There are, practically speaking, no police. no firemen, and no wheeled traffic in Lhasa. If a man suffers from toothache, he goes with few friends on to. the flat foof of his house. His friends bring a big stone, round which they fasten a string. The string is then tied to the bad tooth and the stone dropped over the roof top. Two or three friends hold on to the patient to prevent him from go- ing over, too"

Gingham Cancellations.

Trade comment on the action taken
by the Amoskeag Manufacturing Com
pany In cancelling orders on fall ging-
hams concerned yesterday less the i'm
mediate effect which that announcement
might have on prices than 1t did the
bearing that 1t might have on the future
actions of other gingham factors. The
opinion that If the strike should con-
tinue much longer other mills would
find il necessary to cancel orders and
consequently preparation of fall lines
would be indefinitely postponed was ex-
pressed The probable entry of foreign
factors into the domestic markets was
dwelt on also at considerable length.
Importations of English ginghams have
reached large proportions. 1t is pointed
out that further curtailment of produc-
tion inevitably will lead to manufac-
turers turning to foreign markets for fall
goods. That situation, it was said. held
as much danger for strikers as it did for
mill operators.
