FOR AN AVIATION FIELD

Considerable advantage awaits
those who make ready for the posi-
bilities in aviation. Camp keyes, now
known as the State Muster Field. was
long ago acknowledged to be one Of
the most healthful locations for a
troop encampment. 1t stands high
and dry" with clear, unobstructed view
for miles. is well drained and supplied
with pure air and water. 1t was
found too limited in extent for the
encampments as now conducted, 1t
remains, however. probably the best
site for an aviation field that there
is in this State and one of the finest
in the entire country.
The development of this field would
be a progressive step. 1t is being
urged by those who appreciate the
advantages. who being acquainted
with aviation recognize it's possibili-
ties. They would have it put in read
mess and by so Going invite the use
which ultimately will be sought of it.
A comparatively small sum Of money
will do this and it should be done.

Experience

When l heard the hermit thrush
Singing in the hollow,
1t seemed to me / had no choice
But to rise and follow.
So l went down a little hill
And found his willow tree.
But when ] came near to him
He would not sing for me.
1 went back to my garden
That is set on a hill,
And there at morn and evening
l heard him singing still.
Oh. some there are that call YOU,
And some that bid YOU stay.
Eut if YOU wish to hold friend
Let him go his way!

Xoew's Columbia announces the
continuance this week, including to-
day, of the Metro production, Long
Live the King" fine perturbation
of the famous novel by Mary Roberts

boy star.
Long Live the King reveals

aside the ragged trappings of "The
Kid" and "Oliver Twist" and steps
forth in the purple and fine linen of
q crown prince and boy ruler of a
mythical Balkan kingdom.
The desire of the boy to crafty
all the natural desires of boyhood
Is constantly at war with his mature
sense of responsibility toward his
subjects. and while this furnishes
much of the delightful humor of the
story, it is contrasted against a net
work of intrigue, in which band of
conspirators plot to get possession of
the boy and force their demands on
the government.
7 The production is said to have cost
no less than 100000. Rosemary

Special Dispatch to The Star.
LOS ANGELES, November 90
News arrived that three states
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois-will
bar Chaplin's "A Woman of Paris"
just before I saw private pre-view
run of Thomas H. Ince's film version
what the censor boards will do to Mr..
Ince's very beautiful photoplay
based upon the stage play which has
had phenomenal success.
Why Chaplin's play should be
barred I do not know, except that it
obviously tells the tale of woman
who lives with a man to whom she is
not married. But we have had our
Carmens. our Camilles and our Sa-
phos-so why not "A Woman Of
Paris?
Anna Christie" too. tells the story
of a hapless victim of men. There is
nothing in it that makes vice allur-
ing; in fact, the wages of sin would
seem to be prohibitively high-but so
were they in "A Woman of Paris"
Consider Anna Christie" on its
merits. First of all, it should bring
to Mr.. Ince unbounded praise from
those who want the screen to amount
to something. Not because it is a
perfect photo play. for it is not; but
3
to take sound and daring stage play
and to transform 1t to the screen
without sugaring it or adding any
hokum. Artistically the film deserves
serious appraisal and commercially it
marks a forward and a courageous
step.
Blanche Sweet, who plays the title
part. earns for herself new position
in FINLAND, and the sound direction
adds substantially to the reputation
of John Griffith Wray. Miss Sweet
avoids all slushy sentirneptality In
her acting and gives to the screen
the kind of an Anna Christie that
Eugene O'Neill must have had in
mind when he wrote the play.
George Marion, who played the part
of Chris. the girls father, in the New
York stage presentation, has the same
part in the film version, and William
Russell is Mat Burke, the lover. The
principals are all fine, but it is Miss
Sweet who does the really distin-
guiShed work.

New Western Epic Likely.

Because the last of the great cattle
herds of the west are soon to be
driven into Mexico, photoplay fans are
to have an opportunity to see a
photoplay which the producers hope
viii be another film of epic quality
similar to that of THE Covered
Wagon" Land in the United States
has become so valuable and the great
ranges of the west and southwest are
so rapidly being cut up, fenced and
settled, that there is no longer ade-
quate grazing space for the hundreds
states. Because of. this, there will
soon be staged the most gigantic
cattle drive in history, when more
than 100000 cattle will be herded over
the international line to grazing lands
secured by Americans from the Mexi-
can government. The smaller ranches 5
will continue, but the great herds will
be gone and the main source of the
country's beef supply will have
shifted southwark.
Motion picture producers constantly
scan the newspapers for items which
will give them ideas for photopays.
Recently the publication of news of
this cattle drive has stirred the Off
cials of Associated First National and
already preparations are under way
to weave a photoplay plot around the
drive. Frances Marion, who wrote
the script for The Dramatic Life of
