this film I believe that thes message
is put across in good shape. AT times
it appears to be too melodramatic,
but in a photoplay that license is
granted This film also gives the Lee
gion chance to show how it is car
rying on its fight for good citizenship
when the battle is not staged in a
trench. 1t really does give the pub
lie something to think about.
The chief roles are taken by Lloyd
Hughes and Barbara Bedford. Hughes
is seen as a young chap who is vir-
tuauy kidnapped and forced into a
prison and then transferred to a con
Wet lumber camp" Hughes easily
does the best work of any in the pic
ture.
The main object of this movie is to
drive home a lesson.
The bill includes new songs by
Charles B. Lines, organ music by
Ruth Noller, news weekly and Vir-
gil Moore's orchestra.
At the Apollo all week.

Don't Haze to Be a Romeo to Visit Peggy

Then she started her famous give
me" stunt.
Oh. the Pretty Box Of Candy!
As one Of the candy statesmen at the
Capitol cried out the information that
with each box Of candy was a hand
some prize. Miss Joyce turned to
Carroll. manager Of producer Of Van

said: Let us have some candy. Want
to see what draw"

ISL"
I still believe that she was looking
for diamonds, but she drew q vest
pocket edition OF Mister Webster's
English dictionary.
Then Carroll begged for the bet
ter English book and Peggy surren-
! dered the prize. And that is the way
she departed with Webster.
Peggy has received millions. we
have been told on the front page. but
all of old man Webster's words
And that is the human side of
Peggy Hopkins Joyce. II I had not
known that she was in the theater
last night, might have pictured her
toying with a lobster (meaning the
kind they serve for eating purposes
only in some cafe.
But no. here she was at a buriesque
show, laughing and applauding the
comedy of others.

theater on the only night I do not
work in Vanities," she said
From Front Page to Stage
Peggy Joyce jumped from the front
page OF the daily papers by her expe.
riences In wealthy matrimony and the
divorce courts with alhony trim
mings to the stage -
And she brought her own Jewels
to the stage as well as some wonder
full clothes. She may be an expert
in picking wealthy husbands for short
periods, but as I watched her laugh
in the theater last night 1t seemed
to me that there was more of the
real school girl spirit in Peggy than
aFcold, modern siren.
An orchid looks better to Peggy
than a sunf1ower, but it is my guess
that she would accept bunch Of sun
flowers II they were offered to her.
The front page of the papers have
made Miss Joyce famous, but I will
remember her as an interested girl
searching through a box of candy to
see what gift It contained.

the wheat market was easy TODAY.
Long wheat came out on the rallies
and this made the slight increase in
investment buying non-effective. Lo-
cal sentiment is still bearish especially
regarding the May. but most of the
bears feel that present prices are low
enough and they do not care to press
the market. This was one of the
causes of the reduced volume of bust
ness.
Increased shipment by Southern
Hemisphere exporters gave a heavy
tone TO the Liverpool market. There
was no evidence of any betterInent in
the export business. Wet weather
improved the condition of winter wheat
and there was further precipitation
over the Dakotas.
Sentiment in corn has switched over

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.
New Orleans.

New Orleans. March aI.-The cotton
market had very tame opening despite
favorable cables and an unfavorable
weather map showing general low tenn
peratures and more rain in the eastern
half of the belt. First trades were s
points down and up. new crop months
showing most improvement. Prices eased
off to 10 points after the call and
then fluctuated aimlessly within the
range of few points. Traders were
disappointed at the news the exports
investigating the government statistics
VIII not report until Monday. but the
belief continues that the revision will be
bullish. Cables said another strike OF
British transport workers was threat
ened.
The market continued duh all morning
with narrow fluctuations. After May had
traded at 1901 and October 2523, or 6
to points above the previous low. prices
gradually sagged until May traded at
2s.7S and October at $500 or II 20 %
down from the early high. The main de-
pressing influence was the expectation
OF small mill takinRs for the week. When
issued they proved TO be 100000 bales
against $4,000 last year. The market
rallied TO points from the low ut
noon, owing to the expectations the ex-
ports report to be issued Monday will
make bullish corrections
The market experienced a moderate
rally in the early afternoon mainly on
a report from New York that a big on
orator hitherto bearish had become bull
ish. This led TO more or less short COW
ering and prices rallied TO 1884 cents for
May and 2S.13 cents for July or 16
points up from the low October fluctu-
ated IL points trading up TO $500 cents.
The comparatively inactive months OF
March and December made new highs,
2 and points respectively above the
morning highs on a few trades. The
market then turned quiet. but was sus-
tained by expectation OF bullish revision
by the statistical experts on Monday.

LATE COTTON MARKET
REGAINS EARLY LOSS
AND ENDS UNCHANGED
Small Demand Finds After
noon Trade Almost
bare of Offerings.

Copyright by The San Antonio Light.
New York. March 21.-The DISPOSE
ton TO wait for nearer view of
the new crop start was reflected by
an even more pronounced falling or
in the volume of business in the cotton
market today.
The presence of conflicting opinion
was shown by further irregularity, but
the fluctuations were narrower and
signified little more than the markets
sensitiyeness TO small orders. The
opening ives generally 1 to 10 points
higher because of relatively firm ca
bles and an unfavorable weather map.
The demand was supplied around
2S.97 for May and 25.17 for October
and prices turned easier.
General business was restricted by
delays in the fire service resulting
from the storm in the South Atlantic
States and trading remained very
quiet later, but if anything. offerings
showed tendency TO increase follow
ing reports that New Orleans made
spinners' takings for the week 149. 900
bales compared with 233, 900 last week
and 227,000 last year.
While Liverpool futures were rela-
lively steady. private cables reported
a poor trade demand and the Liverpool
spot sales showed a falling off. only
5000 bales being reported, including
1000 American.
Local covering and a small demand
from trade sources found the late mar
ket almost bare of offerings and prices
regained all of the earlier losses and
closed practically unchanged.
