WASHINGTON. April 10. - The
part that Al Smith may play in the
Democratic national convention is
causing considerable thought< among
politicians in the Capital. Rhis be-
gan when Wisconsin unexpectedly re-
ported % delegates for Smith as
against for McAdoo. the only other
contender i'm that State. 1t has been
accelerated by the formal action of
the New York State convention in
endorsing the Governor for the presi-
dency.
Il is certain that Smith in the early
stages of the balloting will have
creditable showing of votes. New
York's 80. Rhode Islands 10 and Wis
consin's % gives him 1913 as a nest egg
and it's a pretty large nest egg. Add
Sc from Massachusetts. IS from New
Jersey and IS from Illinois and Smith
will have 245. almost at the beginning.
Thereafter it is question of what
his workers can pick up for him.
Smith is bound to make a real APP
peal 10 a lot OF delegates. He is
something OF an anomaly. He is
Tammany product and Yet ever since
he enteerd public life he has been
able to win support from many
elements that habitually fight Tam
many. Most any New Yorker VIII
tell you he has been an able and
honest Governor. Independent of all
improper influences. He is a wet.
but from conviction, not as the re-
suit of political or business pressure
The story of his life is appealing,
Smith being a little more self-made
than most eminent men who claim
that distinction, having lifted himself
out Of the New York slums by his
own efforts entirely.

PALACE.

The troubles that confront th /.
movie director have been the subject
of more than one article in the col
umns of the daily press. These are.
for the most part, imaginary and
easily overcome in the picture COLON
Where practically everything that a
director could desire is 1T mis- beck and
call. But in the instance of Edwin
CSrewe. who produced "A Sor OF The
Sahara she picture that is now run
ming at THE Palace. one cannot h"ip
but give credence to the stories
that he tells of his experiences in
getting cooperation from the native
Arabs Of Biskra. Algeria. where he
went with a complete company for the
purpose Of taking the picture in order
that none of the atmosphere that
Louise Gerard described so accurate
ly in her we'll read book might be ios-
in making the film.
Among other things Mr.. Carewe re-
ports that his attempts to secure ma
tive dancing girls met with failure
il more than one instance, even the
dangling of beads and the offers If
money being refused by the dark skin
ned maidens of the Arab tribes.
Imagine such n happening here in
civilized America? In another in
stance the scenario called for n IA
tive harem and while there were plentv
o. harems. the director found it vel.
near impossible TO convince the shciks
and caids and other high born Ara
bians that could afford such Injuries
that they should be pictured and thei-
secrets h1red to the eyes of the 'un-
believers
Finally an appeal 20 the French
governor general resulted in on intrn-
duction to tho chief 'sheik of all Al
geria who persuaded one OF his tr'ba
clieftsins to permit the camera TO bc
ST mp in his seraglio. However tbs

ROYAL.

There are thrills galore in Hearts
Atlame" the current Royal offering
which is truly one of the most spec
tacular productions of the year.
One thing in particular has attract
ed widespread attention in connection
with this picture. and that is a vivid
and exciting forest fire, which is said
to surpass anything of the kind ever
before presented in motion pictures.
In order TO reproduce il for screen
purposes, a tract of timber was
lgnited and twenty cameras photo
graphed it from many angles. 1t is
through this raging blaze that Anna
-. Nilsson runs n locomotive: and in
staging this realistic episode the cele-
brated screen actress was painfully
burned. Her injuries kept her con-
tined in hospital for several weeks.
The forest fire is one of several big
scenes in the picture. There is. in
addition. the blowing up of a dam.
done to release thousands of logs
which lay stranded and imprisoned.
Another big scene is the dynamiting
OF hillside, necessary to prevent
the spread of the forest fire.
In addition to, these thrills. there
IS a story of unusual interest. 1t
concerns young man who leaves his
millionaire fathers home and goes to
the Michigan woods in order to
make good" There he meets an
aggressive miss, who single-handed,
has defeated the aims of the neighhor-
ing lumbermen. intent on depriying
her of her valuable timber tract. A
