recommended but rocky journey in the
latter part of the first act of the play
which the Edna Parks Players are
staging this week at the Royal Theater
If you are cultivating a case of the
blues and don't want it to suffer a
serious relapse or Il sudden demise,
don't risk viewing the countenances OF
the seven actors who occupy the stage
at the close of that same act.
But if you want to watch clever
artists portray unusual and interest
ing situations in an absorbing man.
ner, you can find two hours of keen
enjoyment awaiting you at any per-
Torrance of Seven Keys to Baldpate."
The story that you will see portrayed
may not seem probable to you. You
may not be a believer in ghosts and
mysterious happenings. But you will
have to admit that if such situations
were confronted by people in real life,
they would produce reactions very sim
liar to those displayed by the Edna
Park Players.
From the beginning of the prologue
to the unheralded denouement at the
end of the second act stage settings,
scenery and movements of the actors
blend in producing an air of weird
mystery. The poorly ligh: d lobby of
summer resort in the lonliest spot in
all the world during the coolest days
of winter is fitting place in which to
meet with the kind of adventure that
caused members of two enthusiastic
audiences Sunday TO catch their breath,
so literally were they drawn into the
spirit of the play by the realistic work
of the actors.
1t would be difficult to single out
the stars of thu performance. 1t can
be truly said that each part required
an able interpreter and that each part
was played well. The thread of rom
ance which brings together the novel;
ist hero and the reporter, Mary Nor
ton" gives the two stars of the COM
pany an opportunity to display TO good
advantage the talents that have en-
deared them 10 the hearts Of San An
tonic theater goers.

FIUME GOVERNMENT
QUITS-APPEAL MADE
TO ITALIAN NATION
Populace of Free State
Faces Starvation and
Suffering.
BY the Associated Press.

Rome, Sept. 17-The government OF
the Independent state of Fiume, re.
signed Sunday.
The Italian government received
from Signor Depoli, vice president of
the assembly of Fiume, a letter com
planning of the delay in settling the
Fiume question.
He said the situation had caused
much discomfort.
The populace was suffering great
ly through unemployment, and he had
repeatedly called the attention of the
Italian government to the dangerous
effect of delay in settling the Ques-
tions at issue.
Signor Depoli added now that the
negotiations had failed he felt that
it would be useless to remain in of
flee, although when he resigned there
would be no authority in Fiume ans
by the end of the month the city
would be completely deprived of any
means Of subsistence.
Feeling regarding the Fiume set
Element is steadily rising Throughout
Italy.
A prominent Fascist leader, speak
ing to the correspondent of the Asso
ciated Press, said:
"Most Italians acknowledge thai
the fate and prosperity of Fiume
with scarcely $4,000 inhabitants, is ;
small detail in the internal and for
eign program of the Italy of today.
Admitting that for many reason:
an Italian Fiume, perhaps, would
never be a business center as undel
Austrian rule, he declared emphatical
ly:
"Eiume fought so long and courage
ously to assert and preserve its Ital
ianity that it has become the incarna
ton of Italian ideals.
IF now we fail in our loyalty anC
support of the brave little town w
should feel ourselves traitors to oul
ideals, to our most sacred duties.
THE truth is that, despite tn,
! abnegation of the population of Fiumt
and the assistance received from Italy
its inhabitants are on the verge Of
starvation, and Italy feels that it il

LOTS OF THRILLS.

self from to the crowded thoroughfare
below, but her plan is thwarted just in
the nick of time. The flood is much
better than the forest fire. Most peo-
pie have not seen a real forest fire. but
they feel. that If they could kick around
in the brush they could easily find the
pots that held the stuff that smoked
and made the folk in Her Reputa-
ton" think it was a forest fire.
May McAvoy as Sidney Lanier is
still at her best, which is very good,
and Lloyd Hughes makes a nice hero.
The heroine has ''Du Barry reputa-

the slightest effort to get it. A news
paper man, who loves a sensational
story. draws on his Imagination and
concocts a wild tale from the circum-
stantial evidence. Sidney Lanier be-
cause of the wretched reputation she
has acquired throughout the nation
fees from her home and dances with
a Spanish friend in a ca5aret in San
Francisco. The Spanish gentlemen
later in the evening throws a knife
and accidentally hits the heroine. But
it is by no means fatal. she swoons
through one scene and then seems 20
forget all about it.

the story ends happily which are the
two main requisites of any good
movie. The picture is entertaining
from the beginning, but is not unusual
except as movies 60.

comedy. Felix is very expressive, but
just the least little bit tiresome.

Thinks Japan Will Turn to Chris

Kansas City. Kan. Sept. IA
new Japan will result from her recent
earthquake, according to Rt. Rev.
Sidney Partridge, Episcopal bishop of
Kansas City. who was missionary
bishop at Kyoto, japan, for eleven
years.
Christianity will grow in the land
of the "sun goddess" because its peo-
pie have been disillusioned as to Japa-
nese myths, Bishop Partridge said in
a sermon here last night. Supersti-
ton in Japan has received vital
blow, he said, if Use, the shrine of
Ama-Tarrasu, the sun goddess, the ma
tional deity and divine progenitor of
the Mikados, was washed away in a
tidal wave.
IF the shrine has fallen, her pow
er has vanished" the bishop SAID.
Japan will be open to conviction.
The era of Christianity will begin. +"
