WHITE LINES AID HIGHWAY

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. H.
1t makes great deal of differ
ence in repair bills on national
highways whether the pavement is
divided into halves by a white line,
according to George F. Schlesin-
ger, Ohio highway director. Be
cause drivers feel greater assur-
ance that they will not be side
swiped by opposite traffic, they
drive further from the outer edge
of the paving, thus eliminating a
great deal of shipping and break
age of pavement that would other
wise result. Because of this find
ing, the road forces of Ohio will
mark as much of the pavement as
possible, including all hill crests,
curves and other points of danger.

MONROE
TODAY
Betty Compson AlDays
LOnged For This Role
be0eee0eoeaOo6 a0eoooo .

Since her first great success in
"The Miracle Man." Miss Betty
Compson, who plays the leading
feminine role in "The Palace Of
Pleasure" Fox Films production
directed by Emmett Flynn, which
shows at the Monroe Theatre to-
day has nursed an ambition with
an earnestness that only an artist
could evince. 1t is to play on the
screen the worlds greatest Queen
of Love.
Strangely enough, it is her first
role under the Fox banner that
gratified Miss Compson's ambition,
in part at least, for in ''Tha Palace
of Pleasure" she portrays Lola
Montez, the most noted siren that
ever helped to make his history
in the Old World.
Lola Montez was an Irish girl
who later became identified in the
theatres of Europe as a Spanish
dancer. She attracted the atten-
tion Of Princes, Premiers and most
of the great national leaders Of
every country on the continent.
The weight of her power and her
love was felt in almost every
political crisis in the history Of
the early Nineteenth Century, but
always on the side of justice.
But, the Lola Montez Of "The
Palace of Pleasure" is more
modern parsonage than the orig
inal. Miss Compson, however, has
given her all the charm Of the
famous Queen of Love in a setting
that is as gorgeous as il is vast.
''The commercial age in which
we live" said Miss Compson, dis
cussing Lola Montez, "does not
afford great deal Of color in our
motion picture transformations.
] believe ! have run the gamut of
modern representations from the
underworld, regenerated siren, to
the athletic Helen Wills type of
society girl. These have left me
an actress unsatisfied and eager
to do more colorful and more uni
versaIiy appealing roles. / am
tremendously enthused over Lola
Montez and / hope that future
pictures win give me an oppor-
tnnity to create Charlotte Corday,
Madame de Recamier, Madame
Pompadour and others of that in
teresting circle of historic women.
In the meantime, hope that my
gracious fans viii like me as Lola
Montez."
Edmund Lowe has the male lead
IN "The Palace of Pleasure. I"
Others in the cast are Henry
Kolker, George Seligmann, Nina
Ramano, Harvey Clark, Francis
Mcdonald, Sammy Blum and
Jacques Rollens.
