The Theatres
MuRRETTE


Richard Barthelmess' ambition is to
be a motion picture director. How
ever, he is not going to attempt that
until his acting days are over. When
asked if he wasn't something of a di-
rector himself in his role as a star, he
replied:
Yes, but the director has the bur-
den of the entire picture on his shout
ders. He interprets every role and
sees that everything runs smoothly.
His is the big job
Mr.. Barthelmess always pays par
ticular tribute to Henry King who di-
rected "Tol'able David" THE Seventh
Day" and has just completed Sonny

Flaherty, the explorer-producer did all
his camera shooting in weather far
below zero. All the scenes are txter-
iors, showing wide stretches Of land in
the frozen north. The territory cover

jected above the armchair in the win
dow. At first his expression was one
of pure amaZement. Then the light
of horrible hope cleaned in his dark,
murderous eyes. He took one more
glance round to see that there were
no witnesses, and then, on tiptoe, his
thick stick half raised, he approached
the silent figure. He was crouching
for his final spring and blow when a
cool, sardonic voice greeted him from
the open bedroom door:
Don't break it, Count! Don't
break it,"
The assassin staggered back, amaze
ment in his convulsed face. For an
instant he half raised his loaded cane
once more, as if he would turn his
violence from the effigy to the or
iginal; but there was something in
that steady gray eye and mocking
smile which caused his hand to sink
to his side.

Holmes, advancing towards the image.

Fish AND GAME FACTS

That game is on the increase we
are informed by nearly every hsn
and game commissioner in the United
States and we have a bunch that a
year or so after Congress passes the
Public Shooting Grounds bill that
there will be more game IN some
states than ever before.
With the increase in wild game we
are pleased to mention that there mas
been a wonderful increase in fishing
and fishermen. We have it on
pretty good authority that the fishing
tackle business had quadrupeled dur
ing the past year. That certainly
means something. 1t is necessary for
the fish and game commissioners TO
stock the streams with millions OF
fish yearly. California recently plant
ed 23, 926, 900 trout and Commissioners
Shelby said in announcing the plant
ing that his great problem is to teach
anglers to allow the fish time to de-
velope. Most of the streams are de-
pleted of their stock by the end of
each year, he said.
What Should be Done
For a number~of years we have tried
to keep in close touch with the Fish
and Game Commissions in an effort
to ascertain the number of people who
fish and hunt, the amount of money
they spend, and the amount of game
taken. 1t is surprising to learn that
so few states makes an effort to as
certain the amount of game within
its confines. To our mind this is
the first thing a Fish and Game
commission should do. New York
state is finding out how much game
was taken by making the person ap-
plying for a license give the amount
he took from the fields the year
before. This method, while year
late, is better than none at all. Penn
sylvania through county wardens tries
| to check up every season and makes
a pretty fair job of it.
Alabama, for instance, has no meth

| 100000 quail are taken each year
| That's a lot of quail to be taken every
| season and not deplete the stock

RESERVE BOARD APPOINTMENT.

Washington, d. c.. July 9.-Bankers,
business men and farmers in all Sec
tons of the United States are await
ing with almost breathless impotence
to learn whether or not President Hard
ing will reappoint w. P. G. Harding OF
Birmingham. Ala, as a member of the
Federal Reserve Board. The reason
for this interest is that the act OF re-
appointing Mr.. Harding. or failing to
do so, will indicate what the policy OF
the Federal Reserve Board for the next
few years is likely to be.
1t is seldom that the appointment OF
one official occupies such a key posi-
ton in relation to a broad national poll
cy. The reason is that Governor
Harding stands for abroad national poll
CIV. and that factions which are oppos-
ing his reappointment stand for an OPP
posite policy. Governor Harding S term
expires on August 10 and SO far the
president has declared that he has not
yet taken up the matter. 1t IS known
that bankers and business men have
written him urging that he name Mr.
Harding and that agricultural interests
have written him opposing the reap
pointment of the Alabama banker.
The issue is one of unlimited cur
rency issues and extensive credit for
farmers versus restricted currency held
absolutely to the gold standard and re
stricted credits. The farmers want
the former and Governor Harding
stands for the latter.
