SAN FRANCISCO. Calf, August 3.
San Franciscans went about their
duties today sorrowfully in a city diff
fering much from that which they
had seen on their homeward way last
night. resplendent in honor of the
visit of the President, who, 1t was be-
lieved. was well 'on the way to re-
covery from illness.
Gone were the flags. gone was the
bunting, gone tho displays centering
around the presidential emblem which
had marked the streets and larger
buildings Instead, workmen were
busy hanging long black drapes and
streamers - symbols of San Fran
cisco's grief-across the fronts Of the
city buildings.
The proud blue banner which f1aunt-
ed the seal of the United States flut-
tered from a staff above the Palace
Hotel, in evidence that the President
was in residence beneath it: its legiti-
mate place today was over a modest
home in Plymouth, where was the
man who last night became President
Calvin Coolidge.
The red, white and blue that had
decorated the Presidents hotel had
given way to mourning garb. San
Francisco, by official proclamation of
Mayor James Rolph. jr,. was in
mourning.
The hotel corridors leading to the
suite occupied by President Harding,
for days before the goal OF hundreds,
who ranged in position from the
highest to the most humble, were
more congested today than at any
time since the Executive, weary and
suffering. was brought here last Sun
day morning.
All Offer to Help.
With three. cabinet officials staying
in the same hotel. the inevitable
stream OF visitors calling to pay their
respects or to transact some official
business naturally would have been
large. With the President Ill, thou
sands more came to inquire as to his
condition. to present their wishes for
his recovery or to offer help. Some
offered the use of country estates as
places of recuperation, some suggest
ed means they hoped would alleviate
the Presidents sufferings and vast
numbers brought flowers or baskets
OF fruit.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 3.-Presi-
dent Harding's mind was clear to the
last
Never for a moment, according to
Secretary Hoover of the Commerce
Department. who had been extremely
close to him. did his mind wander,
even under the burning of the fever
from which he suffered, and his de-
meanor throughout his illness was
composed and collected, even occa-
sionally verging on the humorous.
Almost every one who went into
his room was greeted with a joke"
said Mr.. Hoover. He was cheerful
always and remained interested to
the last in his surroundings and in
those who were permitted to approach
him."
Mr.. Hoover said Mr.. Harding had
once overestimated his strength, say
ing that on last Monday afternoon the
President "got half out of bed, reach
ing for his bathrobe."

BABY PEGGY IN
FEATURE PICTURE
Adorable Child Actress Makes
Starring Debut in "The Darl-
inf of New York"

It's astonishing the amount 81
drama that can be woven around
the life of a little child, Logical
drama that has a deep, human in
terest appeal; more astonishing it
lis to find a child whose personality
can be moulded perfectly into in
tensely dramatic situations.
Baby Peggy Montgomery is al
most literally tossed through many
reels of drama in her first feature
production. "The Darling of New
York." which plays at the Rylander
on Wednesday. So carefully has
the baby star been handled through
out the picture, that there is never
a moment in the play when the in
terest lags. Attention is always
conferred on her or her rag doll
which has such an important signi-
ficance in the embodiment of the
story.
: The story reflects the experiences
Of a four year old baby girl, of Ital-
ian and American parentage. The
child is Introduced as the daughteI
Of al Afneffcan woman who Is aging
in Italy. The mother entrusted her
nurse, with the care of her child, re-
questing that the baby be taken to
her grandfather in America.
Dramatic menace is Immediately
woven into the story, for at the
dock the nurse discovers that she
has forgotten her money-with the
boat sailmgn "a few minutes. Fran
tically the nurse asks a stranger to
watch the child while she hurried
away fel-'her money, The stranger
carried the little girl aboard the
ship, into the steerage, while the
gates are closed to the nurse, who
arrives too late to rescue the child.
Then events fly thick and fast.
There is plenty of comedy to
balance the drama and the entire

The Hollywood Writer'S Clut

many of Americas most famous au

Leans latest starring vehicle, Go
ling Up" the best picture ever pre-
viewed in the clubs picturesque Hol
lywood quarters.
Going Up" was shown to the
Writers" on the regular "pre-
view ight." it being the custom OF
the club members to assemble one
night during each week to view new
screen productions. From the first
reel to the last the audience was
kept in spasms of laughter and the
comments at the conclusion of the
showing were the most enthusi-
astic ever brought forth by any
victure presented at the club For
Mr.. MacLean received a flood of
several days following the preview,
kilograms and letters of apprecia-
ton and congratulations
Because of the fact that the Writ
ers' Club is composed of one of the
most critical circle of authors aid
artists in Amerie, the unaimi-
nous praise of the organization is
regarded by those in the motion pic
ture profession as the highest com-
pliment that may be accorded any
production. Among those present
at the preview were such celebrities
as Mrs. Leslie Carter; William De-
Mile; Thomas H. Patton, Holly

While Going Up" has one laughing
until the tears course down the
cheeks, the heart goes pit-a-pat at
the thrilling love story that rides
high and far on the plane of roma
ance driven by Douglas MacLean.
AS the famous author of the popular
book of flying, he makes the role
of Robert Street unusually vibrant
and impressionable.

POLA NEGRI COMING
IN SPANISH DANCER

Announced for an early showing
at the Rylander is Pola Negri's la
test picture, a paramount produc-
ton, "The Spanish Dancer" For
the first time since coming to Amer
lea, Negri is the Pola of Passion, "
but never has the flashing jewel ap-
'peared in such a magnificent set
ting. 1t cost a fortune to make
and it's said to be one picture in a
thousand.
The old Spanish gowns worn by
Fola Negri in the picture constitute
a veritable fashion display. Some
of the costumes worn in the scenes
taken in the gypsy camp show the
strong influence which the Moorish
Invasion exercised over Spanish life
even after it had been repulsed
Later in the story, when Pola Ne
.gri as Mariana, the gypsy girl, be-
comes the wife of Don Cesar, she
wears costumes which for sheer
beauty have probably never been
equalled by the gowns of. any
other period in history.
Included in the cast with Misss
|Negri are Antonio Moreno, kathryn
Williams, Wallace Beery, Gareth
Hughes, Adolph Menjou and Robert
Agnew.

"RUPERT OF HENTZAU'
COMING TO RYLANDER

Is there anyone who did not read

Prisoner of Zenda and it's enthrall-

course there may be some such, but
it is hard to believe. Following
close on the heels of the book were
the stage versions in which many
prominent actors took part, and
now best of all come the cinemas
The Prisoner of Zenda" having
been shown some time ago and
Rupert of Hentzau" an early at
traction at the Rylander.
While Rupert" is somewhat Of
"a costume picture, it has an unus-
.ually strong story with many dra-
matte situations, and although Di-
rector Victor Herman gave much
ime and attention to the costuming
of the piece, and no money was
spared in making them perfect in
every detail, he devoted the great
er part of his energies to the trans
ferring of the romance and adven-
ture of the authors story to the
screen. For after all, the import
ant thing in a photoplay is not how
he characters are dressed, but what
they do and how they do it.
It is said that never before in
history has such a cast of cele-
brities appeared in any, one produc-
ton as may be seen in Rupert of
