Flaming Yonth." which comes to the T'rianon theatre next week. is a spectacle, magnificent and lavish. but it does not rely upon the spec tacular to attain it's purpose As en- tertaining and daring as the book, by Warner Fabian, it carries the thrills that can be had in hectic drinking parties, blatant tricky mu- sic, impromptu swimming parties where bathing suits are not con- sidered prerequisite.
 As forceful and significant as tragedy of life itself, the picture ar tstcally and intelligently carries it's moral lesson. To the director, John Francis Dillon, must go a great deal of credit for he ha~ put into this picture the explosive situations of a melodrama.
 Colleen Moore, playing Pat" en- acts her role with samazing realism maintaining always her purer ideals despite her surrender to curiosity Myrtle Stedman, playing the mother, once again demonstrates that she is. an actress of no unimportant degree. She is perfectly cast.
 Flaming Youth" is worth seeing There is something new in it's quail ity that approaches poetry, or silent music. It's a whirl, a dip, a high kick and shimmy.
 Myrtle Stedman portrays the StTauBeSl IlOtHer m 1icllon.
 Miss Stedman portrays the role of Mona Fentriss, brilliant woman, who lives life to it's fullest, is un- faithful to her husband, yet at all times cognizant of the fact that her unconventional mode of living will react on the future of her three growing daughters.
 The parts of the three ultra mod ern daughters are enacted by Colleen Moore. who plays the leading par: that of the youngest daughter; Syl- via Breamer and Betty Francisco.
 The part of Mona Fentriss adds still further laurels to the crown of

Flaming Youth Expose Is Fact, Not Fiction, Says Hidden Author

Miss Stedman. who is considered in film circles one of the most success full of those actresses portraying the role of mature womanhood.
 Warner Fabban," "nom de plume of the author, of Planning Youth" made such startling revelation in his story that he dared not sign his real name. So people are speculating on wether the author was man or woman.
 Baked in their efforts to. learn the identity of the author of %Flaming Youth" the First National film yer sion of which will be shown at the Trianon next week, members of the all-star cast which interpreted the story cannot agree as to whether the book was written by man or a woman
 Boni & Liverwright, publishers of Flaming Youth" declare that it would amount to a breach of con tract to reveal any authorship of the volume other than the nom de plume "Warner Fabian"
 Colleen Moore. who plays the role Of Patricia" in this picture, declares that the author is a woman, and of "Dr. Bobs." is equally as sure that a man is responsible.
 "I will admit" says Miss Moore, that 1t is unusual for woman to write in such frank manner and especially when she exposes the in- nermost thoughts and most intimate actions of her sisters, But, all the same, believe the story has all the earmarks of having been written by woman"
 "It takes man. to write so frankly without leaving a clue to his identity replies Dexter. The de- scriptions of the women are penned as a man would pen them-not as a woman would write No woman would so frankly expose her own sex without attaching some alibi in their defense"

TOKYO, Nov. 22.-The earthquake which shook Japan from its foun- dations. architecturally. also rocked the nations social structure wish such violence that universal man. hood suffrage now appears immi- acnt,
 The government has decided to Introduce d bill extending general suffrage to men in this winters ses- sion of the diet. That decision 1t Is believed, is based on the theory that the universal privilege of vot- ing will check restiVe reactions and possible social disturbances that some have feared would follow the earthquake.
 The proposed suffrage bill grants the ballot to all males above p years pt age. At present, only citizens oI certain taNpaying qualifications can vote. Millions who were VOtelS55 could have had the ballot by - ln!s a fairly small tax, but they pre- f1rred to dodge the taxes.

 Earthquake Kind of G0dsend.
 If the new suffrage bill passes and is promulgated by the throne, the Japanese people will have re- cei1ed from the earthquake what they failed Co obtain in years of popular agitation.

MINNEsoTA's CONTEST

Although not large vote was cast
in the primary, this week, there are
many indications that politics will be
as exciting in Minnesota for the next
month as a busy season will permit.
4 successor to the late Senator knute
Nelson is to be chosen. The man,
Governor Jacob A. o. Preuss, whom
Nelson wished to succeed him has
been selected by a good majority from
among the Republicans to head that
ticket, while Magnus Johnson is the
candidate on the Farmer-Laborite
ticket.
1t is said that Preuss has not been
altogether popular as governor and
the radicals term him friend of the
trusts because he refuses to take up
with LaFollettism and Townleyism
and like isms with which quite a
number of the voters in that part of
the country are suffering. Doubtless
in our part of the country he would
be considered liberal. Anyhow he
has had such advantages in the way
of education and experience as should
prove helpful to a United States Sen
ator. lie graduated from college, also
from n law school, was messenger of
Senator Nelson, later assistant clerk
of the Public Land Committee, then
clerk to the Governor Eberhart, then
state insurance commissioner, state
auditor and lattcrly governor
MaGnus Johnson came from SWcd-
en- when he was twenty years old,
was a mill hand and lumberiack and
then went into farming. He has been
a county official and was three years
in the state legislature. He is said
70 have the strongest voice of any
man in all Minnesota, also the sup
port of the radicals. LaFollctte is to
campaign for him, the Non Partisan
League is for him so that he will not
be obliged to make all the noise in his
campaign.
Naturally the election of Preuss
Would he claimed as favorable to
President Harding's administration.
while the election of johnson would
( he considered adverse. The political
situation in that state is complicated
and estimates are difficult to make if
one would have them approach the
fact in results, but there are signs of
confidence among the Minnesota Re-
publicans at the beginning Of the
! campaign and they surely have a
candidate who is decidedly creditable
4 to the party.
