A DOG OF ALL NATIONS

A difficulty arose while Director
Ward Lascelle was making rip Van
Winkle' for Hodkinson release, which
threatened to require the services of
the League of Nations for its proper
settlement. One of the important
roles in rip Van Wrinkle" is that of
Schneider" Rips dog, who, you will
remember, was his inseparable COM
panion. Mr.. Jefferson wanted the pup
eliminated entirely, for, as he said,
"He didn't see how they could get a
dog that would suit all nationalities. :
He said the English would want him
to be Bull dog, the French a Poodle,
and the Germans a Dachshund But
Mr.. Lascelle's ingenuity found So
luton: After about three weeks
search he located dog with an ami
able disposition and an ancestry that
assuredly covers the civilized globe.
So everybody will be satisfied
rip Van Winkle,' released by
Hodkinson will be the featured at

SETTINGS
IN ~DAWN OF THE EAST''

The most captious critic cannot fail
to be delighted with the remarkably
beautiful and accurate reproductions
of Chinese streets, houses, gardens,
and interiors seen in Dawn of the
East. at the Kenworthy Theatre,
Saturday.
Exotic scenery was demanded by
the story, much of whose plot is laid
in China and the Strait Settlements,
but the producers exceeded them
selves to give the production unusual
interest.
Among the sets is one of the
Chinese streets and gate-ways through
which wedding procession passes,
another on the banks of a river, and
night scenes in the Almond Blossom,
a notorious Shanghai cabaret, in
which are seen persons of a dozen ma
tionalities and interiors exquisitely
done in the colorful fashion of old
China.
ssDawn of the East" is melodrama
with a powerful current of action sus-
tanned throughout the story, culmina-
ting in an amazing situation.
Appearing with Miss Alice Brady,
the star, who is seen as a Russian
refugee, are Michio Itow, the famous
Formosan actor and dancer and an
cast, including several
Chinese actors from the Chinese thea
ire in Doyers street, New York.

considered today by the national ag-
ricultural conference while it's COM
mittee continued work on suggested
measures to relieve the acute stu
alton and provide for general rehabili-
tation.
The program of addresses which
covered marketing problems in many
phases was interrupted long enough

spite the shortness of time in which

present situa ton.
A recommendation against any pro
posa1 toward price fixing in agri-
cultural products was voted by a sub
committee of the committee on mark
eting of farm products This decis-
Ion it was said today reached only

ture Wallace for disregarding politics
and asking patriotic democrats from

with the patriotic republicans from
The north.''
