'GRAUSTARK' FOR
 PALACE PATRONS
Norma TalmadSe Appears as
 Beautiful Princess

Norma Talmadge and Eugene O'Brien together again by popular demand. Once more the handsome O'Brien appears as Norma's leading man in "Graustarh," the master piece of her career, which opens up the the New Palace Sunday night for g, four-day run. And the tre- mendous influx of commenting fan letters to Norma for her selection of O'Brien for the part emphasizes once more the actors wide popu- larity. O'Brien's screen history has been considerably interwoyen with that of Miss Talmadge.
 Given a beautiful princess in a rough-Wailed castle in dreamy romantic kingdom in the south of Europe, and a king who tries to be stern in spite of his modern ideas and the whimsical twinkle in his eye, and a bearded nobleman who Is bound with yesterdays suited con- ventions, who frowns on girlish gale ty and scoffs at romance, and yet would wed a princess: and young American, handsome and chivalrous and romantic, who strays by chance into the tiny kingdom and sees the princess and falls in love-well. there you have the ingredients which go to make up the charming plot of "Graustark."
 They have. however, lifted most of the costumes out of the old-fash- toned novel and transformed 1t into a modern kingdom-iust modern enough to have new ideas, yet old fashioned enough not to have sur rendered the dreamy halo of TO- nance to the blatant clamor of jazz bands. Mystery and warm spirit of adventure still stalk the cobbled streets of the little kingdom. vet Tn modern guise. Maindenly eyes are still shy and fresh cheeks free from cosmetics.
 In it's new dress "Graustark" makes a perfect vehicle for the abil- ity and charm of Miss Talmadge.

NO VALUABLE CARPETS

Although there are a great number of gooo carpets in England, there are not many of great value and in this latter respect America is far better off than England. says Cecil Tottershal an expert of the Victoria and AL bert Museum
 Mir. Tottershall asserts that few people understand the value of an old carpet and the person who was reported to have spurned a Persian carpet 100 years old did no more than the majority of people in England would have done He added that there is fortune in carpets for people who knew how and when to buy, and there must be hidden away in old houses carpets and rugs of great value. The most famous carpet in the world is the Ardabil, now in the Museum. It measures 34 feet by r feet and is valued at more than s250,0o0.

A POOR GIRLS
 ROMANCE, LYCEUM
Also "Ihe Man in the Saddle"
 on Sunday Bill

Tomorrow night the Lyceum thea ter opens its new bill with "A Poor Girls Romance" a picturization of a story by Laura Jean Libbey, and Hoot Gibson in "The Man in the Saddle" As usual, there are selected comedies, news events and the serial, "The Amazing Adventures of Mazie."
 "A Poor Girls Romance" is a startling expose of the manner in which the gilded minions of decad- ent society prey upon the innocence of poverty stricken youth. The pie ture, portrayed by Gertrude Short. playing the difficult role of Anne Smith, tells of bright, cheery little miss who falls into the tolls of the social dragon. How this maid wends her way through the raucous scenes of society's maddest orgies and finds regenerated love in the end furnish es the theme of this appealing film.
 "The Man in the Saddle" is a is something beside that. It is picture of undiluted comedy. It deals with the parsonage of Jeff Morgan. an ambitious young cowboy with a tremendous urge to be heroic. who goes to work on the ranch of wealthy friend of his father. This ranch caters to eastern tourists and excitement is provided by the cow boys who provide supposedly real gun-fights, holdups, lynchings, etc. for the benefit of the guests.
 Fay Wray with her charming per sonality is the leading woman in this picture and the second lead is in the hands of Sally Long. Clark Comstock is the william and others in the cast are Emmett King and Yorke Sherwood.

IOWA REPUBLICANS
 NOMINATE STEWART
Old Guard Wins Choice. for
 CunIninS' Term

Des Moines, Iowa, Aug. '. David Stewart of Sioux City, an attorney and one of the managers for Sena- tor Albert B. Cummins in the June primary campaign. was nominated late yesterday by Iowa Republicans to fill the rest of Senate Cunmir's term, which will expire next March.
 Mir. Stewart received SS4 votes on the third formal ballot, 692 being necessary to win the nomination. Until the Cummins force united on the Sioux City attorney on this ballot. Smith W. Brookhart, Repub- lican insurgent, who defeated Sena- tor Cummins for renomination in the June primary, had led the vot- ing, but was far short of the nomi- nation majority of 372 votes.
 Failing to agree on former Judge Charles Bradshaw of Des Mo:nes or Burton Sweet, former Representa- tive, and twice an opponent of Brookhart in primary elections, the Cummins supporters and others of the old guard swung their support to Stewart after the Polk County representatives, Bradsnaw's home delegation, turned to the Sioux City attorney.
 St. Stewart, who is comparatively unknown to the mass of Iowa voters, has been active as a worker. though never as a candidate, in state repub- lican politics. He Is chairman of the Weedbury county republican com- mittee.
 What effect the nomination of Mir. Stewart will have on the Brookhart political fortunes this fall Is a mat ter of much speculation. One view Is that the party's refusal to nom- mate the insurgent for the rest of the Cummins term will iniure his chances for election for the full six year term in November. Those who believe this contend that Stewards nomination is tantamount to a re- pudiation of Brookhart by his party.
 The latter's supporters, however, insist that failure to give him the nomination is an open and danger ous flouting of the farm vote which. they say. gave Brookhart his victory over Cummins in the primary They forsee an increased Brookhart ma jority In the fall as a protest from the farmers against the conyention's action in refusing to nominate the irisurgent for the short term.
 It was generally predicted today that the democrats will make no nomination for the short term, con- serving, their energies for. the fight to elect Claude Porter, Rrookhart's al>eSt in tho siv. year race, Dis

NO WAR OBSERVANCE

One of the things which struck foreigners visiting Paris during the last week in July and the first in August was the complete lack of any reminders of the anniversaries of mobili- zation or the outbreak of the World War in 1914. There were few ceremonies and no newspaper articles to revive memories of those fateful days
 The Socialists held ceremonies in memory of the murder of their leader Jaures on the eve of the war. The Communists celebrated the twelfth anniversary of what they called the Worlds greatest butchery by a childrens fete at St. Cloud Woods Here hundreds of children paraded, each wearing a red cap ornamented with an embroidered hammer and sickle
