BILE in Good References which will be

mental plight of a young girl who.
w%ringing wet in her bathing suit,
cringes from pillar to post in a stern
New England countryside as the re-
suit of being deserted by a yachting
party while in swimming in Long Is
land sound. How she obtained more
conventional attire and the scene that

NEGR| COMES
SOON FOR FEATURE
PICTURE OVER HERE
Noted Continental Star Will
Use English Authors
Scenario.

Pola Negri. noted continental screer
star is coming to this country next
month to make a big special Para
mount picture according to Jesse L.
Lasky, first vice-president of the Fa-
nous Players-Lasky corporation. Mr..
Lasky has just arrived from Europe
after having spent several weeks Wis
iting authors and film producing cen
ters in England. France, Germany,
Spain, Austria, Hungary and Italy.
Miss Negri is undoubtedly the fore
most screen artist of Europe" said
Mr.. Lasky . although her pictures up
nature, or have been modern stories
made with the limited of
European producers. her strong per-
sonality and magnetism have been ap-
parent to all observers of motion pic
ture acting. Because of this genius she
has built up a worldwide following. and
when American audiences see her in
a powerful story, produced by a capa-
BILE director and gowned in the latest
Paris creations they will acclaim her
one of the biggest stars of the Ameri-
can screen.
Special Story for Her
when l was in London / was ap-
preached by n famous dramatist. whose
name l am not at liberty to disclose at
this time. He told me he had written
q story especially for Pola Negri and
would like to have me produce it. I
took the script and after reading it
| was ready to agree with him that he
had written a powerful drama, and,
unlike many authors. had at once
caught the idea of having an inter
national flavor to his story. When he
gave me the script he said he was an
admirer of Miss Negri's work and,
having met her personally, knew that
it fitted her peculiar talents.
myself. Up 10 then l had seen her
costumes, or cheap. dowdy dresses
which suited the character she hap
pened to be playing. But when l met
her in person | was Immediately cap
tivated by her charm. her personality
and her smartness. and decided on the
spot that. if it were possible, l wanted
her to make the picture which my Eng
lish author friend had written.
Through arrangements with the
Hamilton Theatrical corporation, to
which she is under contract. we plan
to have Miss Negrl come to New York
mex month and make this big. special
picture at our Long Island studio. As
soon as l arrived in New York / started
arrangements for one of our best
known directors to produce the picture.
and the entire resources of the pro-
department will be put at his
command to give this story the set
tings and c%ostuming which it deserves.

II. B. Walthall Gets
Big Part in Gimme

Henry B. Walthall. who ever since
his memorable performance in The
Birth of a Nation" has been recog-
nized as one of the most gifted of
screen actors. has been engaged for
the role of the henpecked husband in
Rupert Hughes latest story, Gin
me-" which the author-director is now
producing at the Goldwyn studios.
Since the early days when he won
fame under ID. ". Griffith, Walthall
has advanced steadily in popular favor
and of late years he has been starred
successfully by several companies. In
the Hughes picture he will have an
excellent opportunity for strong char
acterization as the husband who stays
at home and washes the dishes, while
his wife goes u and earns money for
the support of the family.

IMPERIAL

Charles Ray has a new character
role in The Deuce Of Spades" his
First National release at the Imperial
theater today and Monday. The ebul-
lent star who has given simple and eff
fective %portrayals of prize fighters,
artists, actors and secret service agents
has a different kind of role as young
Amos, the Bostonian who wanders to
the west in the quest of happiness and
prosperity.
One of the most humorous scenes
Of the picture is that depicting the
introduction of this character to the
so-called western metropolis. Where
he had expected to see thriving stone
mansions of industry he is presented
to a row of squalid wooden houses.
The captains of merchandising whom
he had anticipated doing business will
prove to be miners. gamblers and card
s%harpers. The only really compan-
ionable person he meets is Sally. the
young waitress who is his assistant in
the management of the restaurant
which is forciblv thrust upon him.
Faced by these obstacles the Bos-
tonian is incapable of meeting the
situation. He becomes impoverished
by his easy bullibility and his readi-
ness to fall a victim to any kind Of
A crooked game. In this dilemma
he finds the answer to his problems
in a startling crisis in which he
abandons all reserve and allows his
own initiative to assert itself. The
scene is portrayed in typical Ray
manner with a sparkling of humor
and tender love interest.

VALENTINO PREFERS PIPE

lsodolph Valentino is usually photo
graphed ID scenes smoking a cigarette
that is, when he is smoking. This
is because he finds relaxation in a
short, quick smoke during the nervous
tension of acting, but his real solace
is a pipe. He has a collection of briars
and even mixes his own smoking to-
bacco, and likes to spend his evenings
smoking and reading. He recently
completed work in his first starring
picture for Paramount, Blood and

AT fhe-
7heaferS
This Week
GRAND

To the average vaudeville patron the
drums are the means toward an end
that end being the clangor requisite
at times for a contrast. But after you
have heard the lad who presides over
the drums in the headline offering
Of Robyn Adair and her "Sunkist Ser
enaders" at the Grand theater tonight
you are going to change your mind.
His touch is one of affection, and the
soft and soothing harmony produced
forms an essential and effective por-
ton of the mellifluous melody. Miss
Adair is an accomplished dancer, sur
rounded with a classy aggregation of
boys whose jazz efforts are different
from anything eve heard here before.
BY far one of the most pleasing fea-
lures of the headliner is the sweet
toned singing of a mere slip of a girl
who still must have a part of her
teens in the future. Taken as a whole,
the bill is by far. the most attractive
that Manager Steege has been able to
offer his patrons for a considerable
time.

RUSSIANS NEED
COTTON AND WOOL

MOSCOW-If the Russian people
are to continue to be clothed, import
ant imports of cotton and woolen
cloth will be necessary this year.
Russia's cotton and woolen textile
industries are in a well.nigh hopeless
condition, both from the point of view
of raw materials and the possibility
Of factory production. The prospects
for flax, hemp. and silk are some
what better.
In the warehouses Of the govern
ment. in the public markets, and the
retail stores there is to be found a
limited amount of clothes now but at
high prices. A little silk is available
at $3.50 to SO yard, wooden goods
at 50 to so a yard and very little
linen at 81 to S.. These prices are
increasing rapidly. To meet this
situation the economic council has de-
cided to retain government mon
opoly OF raw cotton.
Past and continuing financial. poll
tical, social and labor conditions con-
tribute 10 this situation.

Civic Matters Pertaining
to County Government in
Talk Last Friday

Members Of the Good Government
league who attended the meeting at
the Broadway Methodist church Fri.
day, which was addressed by former
Senator Fred Tucker. are in much
better position TO discuss the different
phases Of precinct voting. the appoint.
ment of the election board and other
civic matters pertaining 20 the county
government. according 20 Mrs. f.. L..
Gregory. club reporter for the league.
The members were much interested
and asked many questions that they
might fully understand these things.
He stated that any trouble that might
attend the election was the faul of
the people themselves, that they do
not demand strict compliance with the
laws He said that wholesale stealing
of ballot boxes was not done and as
for anyone voting in more than one
precinct, il was too much trouble and
the voters did not care enough about
voting to make so much effort There
is no law, he said, TO require that a
new registration list of the county be
made, much as it is needed.
Mr.. Tucker received a rising vote of
thanks for his talk and information.
During the business hour a resolution
was passed that the secretary write
the attorney general, asking him how
n new registration list can be secured.
Miss Agnew of New York. a member
of the finance committee OF the Y. W.
C. A, was introduced to the club and
in a five.mnute talk emphasized the
needs Of the association. She said she
was not convinced that the people Of
Ardmore want Y. w. C. A. here as
she had not found enough women who

Friday night in the haunted house
Of Alexander Macdonald at Caledonia

This fact. taken in connection with
announcement by Dr. Prince that he
would leave the haunted house next

that DR.. Prince had captured the
ghostly visitor or at least had dis
covered what h who it was.
The investigator supplies all the
ghost bait he could think of. The

confidence that DR.. Prince had solved
the mystery of fires, ghostly appari.
lions and mysterious rapping which
drove the MacDonalds out.
Prince wasn't the sort of man who
would give up the quest so quickly
otherwise, Mr.. Dennis thought. He
said DR.. Prince had expressed a de-
sire to be permitted to conclude his
Investigations in secret. A fun report
will be published after he has finished
the job.
Saturday night DR.. Prince will keep
the vigil with Harold Widen, Hall

slapped by the ghost, and another
