WASHINGTON, May 10. Coming
from cell in the Atlanta federal peni-
tertiary, George Renus, king Of
Bootleggers,v has explained to Sem
ate committee how he piled up small
fortune IN what has become one of
the country's flourishing industries.
Remus was no piker. He did bust
ness on large scale: One incident of
that business was to obkain protection.
So he linked up with Jess Smith, con
fidant of former Attorney General
Daugherty, and paid him altogether
the modest sum Of $3.50, 600, or there
ab0his; $50 he told the Brookhnrt COM
fniftee Friday. This. money, he ex-
planned, was to obtain permits for
withdrawal of liquor, and to ward off
prosecution.
Like the best bartenders Of the old
days, Remus is a teetotaler, he told the
committees. But he was never bar
tender. He was LAWYER practieed
law for 10 years in Chicago.
81 Moved to Cincinnati
II When the volstead act came along,
he moved down OF Cincinnati. There
he built up his business, which stretch-
ed over several states before it finally
was stopped, and the king sent to
Atlanta
Remus was born in. Germany, COM
ing to this country when he was four
years old. He since has become fypi-
cally American, to judge from his APP
pearaIce. He wore a swagger gray

the Brookhart committee Friday, with
the warden Of the prison, who came
with him, watching from the side. He

DUAL ROLE THRILLING
CLIMAX 1T IS THE LAW

The management of the Weir thea
ter announces a screen attraction of
unusual merit and interest as the
big feature there next Sunday. 1t is
the William Fox special production
Of at Is the Law" adapted to film
form from one of Broadway's most
recent dramatic successes of the same
name. AS a stgae play it ran many
months in New York.
at Is the Law" is sheer drama with
its theme based on one of those
queer auirks of the law that ordairs
that a man cannot be tried for the
some crime twice. Besides a thousand
thrilling moments throughout the en-
actment of the drama, it has one Of
the most startling and thrilling eli
makes ever written into any story for
screen, stage or novel.
Elinor Glyn makes an interesting
reply to those critics who have at
tackled her writings as being immoral.
The perturbation of her novel, "His
Hour" comes to the Weir theater on
Monday. It follows her screen YER
sion of "Three Weeks"
II have often been condemned as
an immoral writer" says Mrs. Glyn.
"That is not American justice, and
/ challenge anyone to carefully read
every word of His Hour, or any
other story / have written with an
open mind, not with the determined
idea to search for sensualities, and
then see if he can find single SEN
tence taken with its full context and
meaning, which can degrade single
insinuation that is base or dishon-
orable-a single place where any
heroes and heroines do not act as
ladies and gentlemen of breeding"
Elinor Glyn has chosen Aileer
Pringle and John Gilbert as her ia
vorite screen lovers, and they are tc
be seen in the leading roles of ellis

LITTLE JESSE JAMES, HAS
SCORE OF TUNEFUL LYRICS

Lyrics of title song, Little Jessie
James" in the musical comedy of that
title at the Grand, Sunday, Oct. IL,
From the wide and oh, so open, spaces
of the West,
From the land of Jesse James and
Frank and all the rest,
Comes a girl whose method would
beat Jesse at his best.
She's a bold, bad bandit when it
comes to love.
With the most beguiling traits,
She's the champion lightweight heart
destroyer of the whole United
States.
Cho.-
She's such a bandit you've got to
hand it to Miss Jessie James,
She's such a robber you want to mob
her, Who? Miss Jessie James.
Sweet and appealing and very smart,
She's always stealing somebody's
heart.
Just like the other Jesse, but prettier
and far more dressy,
She's got a system, a way to twist
'em, Who? Miss Jessie James.
All of her victims would let her take
their names.
How that girl can wreck a train of
thought, one of her favorite
games,
Holding up a train is more or less
risky job,
Banks and people in. them aren't such
easy things to rob,
But this thing of giving young mems
hearts an extra throb,
Is an occupation simple as can be.
With a few important rules, and l
think it should be taught from
A to 2 to the girls in the board
ing schools.
Cho.-
Learn how to suit 'em then you can
shoot 'em with q Cupid's dart,
Learn how to mold 'em, then you can
hold EN-, capture every heart.
If mans affections are safely locked,
/ know a plan that one may concoct.
Give him a place to kiss her in that's
just as good as nitro-glycerine.
Try out your eye work, lot of my
work comes right out Of sight,
So when you vamp him be sure and
lamp him right,
Make him come across and spend
some dough, one of your prin-
cipal aims,
With this idea you can be a little
Jessie James.

AUDIENCE SPELLBOUND


The only reason we did not arise
last night at the D. & R. theater,
where Monsieur Beaucaire," starr
irg Rudolph Valentino, was having
its initial showing, and sing "Hail,
the Conquering Hero Comes" was
because from the very first fade-in
we were held spellbound by the sheer
grandeur Of the production. Cos
tunes, settings and locations are the
acme of lavishness. It is undoubt-
edly one Of the costliest pictures ever
made-and well worth It'll
Given an opportunity to display his
real dramatic ability, Valentino pre-
sents q most vivid and impressive
performance. His magnetic person
atty, his fire and energy in his love
scenes place him conspicuously in a
rank by himself. The story by Booth
Harrington, from which Forrest Hal
sey made the screen adaptation, is
known to most people but it has new
er been so well told or so grippingly
portrayed as in this picture.
An admirably selected supporting
cast interprets the various roles with
amazing success. Featured are Bebe
Daniels, Lois Wilson, Doris Kenyon
and Lowell Sherman.

MAIL MAN DRAMATIC PLAY

What human being has more drama
in his life than any other on the face
of the earth?
According to Emory Johnson, the
director, it is the man who comes in
contact with the most people, and
he has chosen a hero for his most
recent picture whose life he believes
is more full of dramatic moments
than any other character ever seen
on stage or screen, the mail man.
'"The Mail Man." coming to the D.
& r. theater on Sunday and Monday
with Ralph Lewis in the leading role,
is replete with the human touches
which fill the life of this most inter-
esting character, and should be the
best of Johnson's series for F. B.
o., which include "The Third Alarm,
''In the Name of the Law" and
"Westbound Limited"
Emile Johnson, the author of the
series, recently stated that the story
of 1.-THE Mail Man" almost wrote it.

material which presented itself con-

RACES because the California labor

Der of unemployed in this city. The

DUOU SUNDAY, MONDAY
FIVE ACTS VAUDEVILLE

Rex Weber, a natty clean-cut per-
former, has a highly entertaining Sc
ries of songs and stories, which he
delivers in an inimitable manner that
will prove gratifyingly amusing. His
vaudeville prescription is a concoc-
ton he prescribes for laughing pur-
poses only. He is a versatile artist
of the rollicling gind that keeps the
risibilities of an audience at 100
per cent efficiency during his time on
the stage and will prove a favorite at
once.
Frazell & Kenna style themselves
"Girls from the South" They sing
harmony songs in a way that is ir-
resistable and with their comedy
songs, they put the necessary pep
and punch in the act. Miss Kenna is
pianist of exceptional ability and
Miss Frazell has a Southern dialect
that perfectly fits the songs she
sings. This act can be relied upon to
please the most blase audience.
The Carl Roberts Trio presents
MELODY, Mirth and Notion" an act
comprised of rapid fire repartee, har-
mony and comedy singing, Travesty
on Blue Laws, jazz song and dance,
burlesque opera and dance win fan
tastic Mexican costumes. It is an
act that crowds into it all that one
usually finds in a musical comedy
The male members are bright, breezy
chaps with sunny dispositions, who
radiate good cheer and the female il
most attractive young miss who
sings splendidly, dances well, and acts
as foil in the comedy numbers.
Burke & Burke, two men, one doing
straight and the other comedy, will
make the grown folks laugh as well
las the little ones. This is decided
comedy novelty act and is big hi
wherever they go. Their funny
bumps and falls keep the audience il
an uproar all the time they are on the
stage. They have specialized in this
line of amusement with the result
that today they are acknowledged the
leading opponents of aerial comedy,
a snappy offering with punch and
laughable finish.
McAuliffe & La Velle in presenting
their unique Offering will undoubted-
ly appeal to all who witness their
performance. The old G. A. R. vet
eran as portrayed by Mr.. McAuliffe, is
both humorous and true to life. Miss
La Velle in the capacity of the nurse
humoring the whims of the old vet
eran, comprise a picture that will en-
terrain both young and old.

Clean Kidneys
By Drinking
Lots of Water
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys If 5Iad-
der 5others or Back Hurts

Eating too much rich food may pro-
duce kidney trouble in some form,
says a well known authority, because
the acids created excite the kidneys.
Then they become overworked, get
sluggish, clog up and cause all sorts
of distress, particularly backache and
misery in the kidney region, rheumat-
ic twinges, severe headaches, acid
stomach, constipation, torpid liver,
sleeplessness, bladder and urinary
irritation.
The moment your back hurts or
kidneys aren't acting right, or if blad-
der bothers you, begin drinking lots
of good water and also get about four
ounces Of Jad Salts from any good
pharmacy; take teaspoonful in q
glass Of water before breakfast for
a few days and your kidney may then
act fine. This famous salts is made

from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has

system so that they no longer irritate,
