A New Tyr" Lover.

What, if anything, is the matter
with the 100 per cent American man
as a lover!
Has the American woman been cap
tivated by the Mediterranean man dur
ing the process Of her emotional liber-
alton?
Does the current vogue for alien
heroes and exotic situations in pic
lures express her craving to uncover
in them some suspected amatory mys-
terry not within the repertoire of the
franz, direct, energetic Yankee?
Is she ennuied with the romantic
fare of our Rabbits and buckaroos,
plowboys and merchant nrinces, turn
ing now to the caviar of sheiks, bull
fighters and rajahs?
These are speculations OF consid-
cradle coterie of Hollywood movie crea-
tors who seek for box office reasons
to ascertain the answer to the interest
ing question.
The Valentino vogue started it. Was
1t merely a fortuitous acciden. that
this Italian scorched a million femi
nine hearts and pulled as many dol
lars from silken purses for his en-
ployers? Was that y a tribute to
his own personality or a Valentino
as a type of courtier?
The answer from the movie camps
is a mad search for an adequate sue
cessor to the ardent Rodolph-whicb
ought to give us plain garden variety
of Romeos pause as we fill the silken
purses.
Rex Ingram, who claims the discov-
cry Of Rudy, believes he has another
of the type in Ramon Navarro, of
Spanish lineage. He was picked on
chat score. Ingram told me he be-
lieved the American woman was fed
up on the college boy and &c business
man love article. For the screen, al
least, she wanted more finesse in her
wooing.

The Return of "Tatty.

Roscoe Fatty" Arbuckle is return
ing to the screen by a sort OF rein
carnation.
Elected as actor from the front door
in the house of fame, following the
notorious San Francisco episode. he
has quietly re-entered by the back
door as director of comedies.
1t is in the person of "Poodles"
Hanneford, one of the worlds best
known CLOWNS, that Arbuckle is stag
ing his comeback.
In circus rings Hanneford was for
years a laugh maker, with decided
personality and technique of his own,
but in the films to which he is new,
goodies" will virtually be persona
fication of the fallen star.
Fatty's directing is gestura, rather
than verbal. Master of gag and screen
craft, he acts OFT precisely what he
wants done to the last detail. Thus
his proteges, Wide not mere manLi-
kins, do peculiarly reflect the antics
and methods which boosted Arbuckle
TO the movie pinnacle before a public
frown toppled him a year ago.

his seclusion, Arbuckle has been work.

writing and rabbit foot business, and
indicates the phantom fighting power
of the movies.
Dope and easy credulity are linked
as twin ogres in the picture, threaten
ing the romance of a boy and girl
who bring honest faces and unsophist-
ication" to the big city from a small
town.
Mitchell Lewis as lord of the under
world needs the ''honeSt face" of
James Morrison to carry on his dope
traffic. The love Carmel Myers bears
James must be shattered to keep the
boy an enslaved tool. Pauline Starke,
as siren and co-plotter with Lewis,
is selected as the instrument, and
faxed messages from "the beyond as
the means of accomplishing the design.
These four are co-starred in the pro-
duction.
The Little Girl" is susceptible to
plottings, the author let's you know,
because her mother had been steady
patron of mediums. After the mother
died, the daughter quite naturally ex-
pected occult counsel TO extricate her
and her lover from impending trou-
bic.
The siren, herself infatuated with
Mofrison's honest face" masquerades
as a trance priestess and has the girl
on the verge of handing back the en-
gagement ring when our young hero,
now sophisticated aplenty, puts the
kibosh on the villainy by exposing the
trappings of the ghostly darkroom.
The scene eliminates in a very ma
terialistic fist battle. The wicked drug
king is shot by the wileful lady part
ner and their intended dupes return to
the town of harmony, where coal bust
ness takes the place of dope running
and truffles supplant frances.
Seeing this picture is in itself a
good deal like attending a seance. The
only thing you're apt to miss is hold
ing some strangers hand while you
shudder. But the price per shudder is
considerably cheaper than those I've
enjoyed in so-called spiritualistic cir
cles have graced.

not the faintest resemblance to these

For this startling and whitening

The information is highly impor-

The first symptom of that fatal dis

will come trailing in after the rest Of

first just a few feet behind, gradually
getting farther and farther in the rear

When the first tagging is seen, shut
the poult up, give him only sour milk
to eat, and give a dose of epson salts.
He can have all the chopped nettles,
dandelions or onions he will eat. but
that is all. The droppings Of affected
poults should be buried. Poults will
not thrive IL fed where there is the
filth of other poultry. Keep them clean
that is, free from lice and mites;
feed them clean food on clean board
or trough, and give them drinking wa
