STAR-DIRECTOR APPEARS
IN NEW ROLE AS ARTIST

Charles Ray has another corking
comedy role in 'R. S. V. P.," the First
National attraction which opens at
the Nixon Theatre next Monday. This
time the popular bOyish star plays his
pranks as an amateur artist who dab
bles indiscriminately in paint and
love. He is equally successful in both,
but only after he has run the gaunt-
let of trouble in trying to assure him
self of three square meals day with
out giving away to his girl the fact
that he is just struggling for a liv-
ing. The role fits the star like the
evening clothes he wears. In the part
of Richard Morgan, who is constantly
refusing financial assistance from
wealthy relatives in order to retain
his independence, he has abundant Op-
portunity to display the droll line of
comedy for which he has become ia
nous. He is ably assisted in his char
acter by Harry Myers who, in the role
of Benny Fielding, is bit more starV-
ed than the star.
From a humorous angle on the
struggles of impoverished artists, the
picture veers into the highlights of
society. Morgan and his chum stage
their debut in the exclusive social set
on a $3.50 basis, the split involving a
division of the various appurtenances
of evening dress, each one contribut-
ing about half the outfit. With this as
a basis the star evolves situations that
are excrutiatingly funny and of his
own halting style of meeting an en-
barrassing situation. Anexcellent cast
has been assembled to support the star
in doing justice to this plot Jean Cal
houn is the leading woman and the
other players are: Florence Oberle,
Harry Myers, Tom MCGUIRE, Robert
Grey, William Courtright and Ida

DO THE PEOPLE WANT SALOONS
(From New Jersey Law Journal.)

(From New Jersey Law Journal.)
No doubt there will be tinkering
with the Volstead act, and some few
states, possibly New Jersey among
them, may throw aside its enforce
ment act and leave it to the Federal
government alone to enforce the pro-
hibitory law. However or whatever
happens, it is clear to us that no mea-
sure permitting a free sale and use
of beers and wines can succeed in
running the gauntlet of the United
States Supreme Court, because all
regular beer and wine are known to
be intoxicating, and "the manufac-
ture, sale or transportation of intoxi-
eating liquors" is absolutely pro-
hibited by the Federal Constitution.
One of the puzzling things in con-
nection with the desire of Senator
elect Edwards and others that beer
and wine shall be so plentiful as that
the states shall be "as wet as the
Atlantic Ocean is, how they can be
sold without a return Of the very
saloons which the same proponents of
wetness declare they are solidIy ar
rayed against. That the saloons as a
body were wholly inimical to the pub
lie good nobody seems to deny. But
how can liquors be openly and law
fully dispensed without them? One
says, by hotel bars alone. But these
were also acknowledged as drinking
places, in many instances quite as bad
as the saloons. Another says by the
grocery stores. This would make
such stores, in their back rooms
drinking places, and this the public
would not want to tolerate. 1t seems
to us that a return to pre-prohibition
times, fully or partially, can mean in
effect only the ~re-opening of saloons
or their equivalents. Does the nation,
as such, want to go back to former
days when any man or woman could
be a drunkard if he chose to be, or a
moderate drinker if he so chose, be-
the temptations to drink were
withheld from no one who had the
dimes or dollars to expend at saloons?
1t is now a time for some clear think
ing on this subject.

thought. Hes taken the blind alley.
Me for him! I"
The lane was very rutty and unayen
The cycle ahead had vanished round
a bend; Billy, shutting off his engine,
swung round 1t Immediately after
ward. As he did so he heard a crash.
The driver of the other cycle, realiz-
ing too late that he was In a Guide
sac, had swerved, braked violently,
and came thoroughly to grief.
Billy sprang from the Sphinx, let.
ting her fall on her side with the
headlight still glowing. The other
cycle lay PROSTATE; a small heap was
huddled beside 1t on the grass.
The taller man, the driver, was just
staggering to his feet when Billy ran
at him. The cyclist whipped out a
repeating pistol.
A gun, at night, and in the hands
of a shaken man, is much less certain
than a fist with six feet of activity
behind it. Billy's left dashed h PTS
toll hand aside, the bullet spat Inn
potently into the air, and his right
came with a terrific upper-cut beneath
the mans chin, lifting him off his feet
to fall inert.
AS he came down, something
skipped and rolled away from him
along the grass, in the ray of the
Sphinx's headlight. With the swift
instinct for loot Billy pounced upon
tia sumptuous looking little case OF
leather, with a clasp. Billy thrust it
in his pocket and turned to the fallen
man, who lay with closed eyes and
his head moving family from side to
side.
Mighty slow with a gum" said
Billy, STOPPING over him. "Tm going
over you for the rest of the goods,
Bud"
A moan from the other m%alefactor,
lying by the fallen cycle, interrupted
him. SO pathetic and treble a moan
was 1t that Billy started and jerked
himself upright, staring.
"Lordy!" he gasped, with remorse
and concern. Its a woman!"

enough. But a thought shot through
his brain that nearly paralyzed Billy.
What woman was it2
He hurried to her side. She had
already raised herself IN one hand
and seemed trying feebly to get up.
Billy stopped yer her.
Much hurt?" he stammered.
"Here-"
At that moment the fallen driver
recovered and stirred. Billy turned
his head toward him, with a quick
instinct-the danger lay closer at
hand.
The woman's hand was g%rasping a
stone, and, as Billy turned she
brought her arm round with a sweep,
swift as a striking snake. The chunk

RACING TRACK
 IN CALIFORNIA
 NEARLY READY
Tanforan Will Be Track Where No Bets Will
 Permitted at All.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 10.-Tan- foran, the racetrack under recon struction near here, will be bet less" track, according to Rudolph Spreckels. vice president of the Pa cifc Coast Jockey Club, under whose auspices racing will be held at Tan foran.
 We are sincere in our statement that there will be no illegal betting at Tanforan," said MT Spreckels to the Associated Press. We have incorporated that feature in the ar tices Of incorporation of the club. and for any attractions of our by laws we will bar forever any owner, jockey or other person involved.
 Lifelong banishment from club is a new departure. A crooked own. CT or jockey might take chance on cleaning up on a fixed race with only a short suspension facing him, if caught, but he will think twice before he meddles with a perman- ent suspension"
 MT Spreckels stated he was not ready to announce what measures will be taken to enforce the betting prohibition rule at Tanforan, but said the machinery to enforce this law has been perfected
 Not only will we bar betting at the track, but we hope to perfect our plans to absolutely stop all illegal betting at pool rooms on races al Tanforan," declared MT. Spreckels. Tho directors of the club, com prising A. K. Macomber, Frank ] Kelly, c. K c. Billings and Thomas Fortune Ryan of New York, and A B. Spreckels and Herbert Fleishhack CT of San Francisco. have been as sured of entries of some of the best known Eastern horses, including their own. Mir. Spreekels said.
 "One of the biggest features oi Tanforan." he said, twill be the es tablishment in California of breed ing stables by some of the leading horsemen of the country. This state offers perfect conditions for winter ing race horses, and Tanforan will enable horsemen to run their horses under perfect conditions before the Eastern season opens
 Tanforan, which is dedicated tc the breeding of fine stock and the encouragement of ethical racing, will not be operated as a money-mak ing club, MT. Spreckels stated. 1
