Mr.. Hunters other plans nat

several motion pictures. He has
been in demand for these during
the present run of Young Wood

the requests since the strain OF
playing nine times a week in that
play has been too strenuous for
any other activities. Incidentally
the French Cinematographie have
invited him TO come over to
France whenever he can find the
time to play the leading role in a
tremendous production of this

Yes, I'm going to retire and
live IN Devonshire away from ali
the noise and hustle, but always
with the memory of happy years
in the American theater. Per-
haps runnors of my retirement
have received the proverbial ex-
aggeration in recent years, but
now 1t is officially true and this
is actually good-by to my
American friends. l shall part
with them regretfully and re-
member them gratefully and with
pleasure. When my actor and
author friends come to visit me

on the Devonshire cliffs near
Dartmouth. We'll talk over the
good old days and shake ouT
heads at the bad new ones, I
suppose. in the duly accepted
manner.
You know, it is funny though,
how things have changed since
I started in the theatrical world.
Why, / used to be able to put
on q play for g., few hundred
pounds, and now it costs thou
sands and thousands. That's
why conditions at home are in
such a bad way. When re-
turned to England last spring
I was amazed at the number of
first-class actors out Of jobs for
eight or nine months OF the year.
We haven't got the money to
produce plays as you produce
them over here. Even If we
have good play we are handi-
capped because we haven't the
wherewithal to back it.
Another thing that has changed
is the method of presentation OF
plays. When ] was in my dramatic
cradle the actor-manager was at
his height. A theatrical company
was run like a gentleman's home.
We were all one family and the
play was the thing. We dis
cussed it together, exchanged
suggestions. analysed it, and
finally played it with pride and
anxiety in. which there was no

Although Norma Shearer's eyes
are one of the numerous assets
that have given this young star
her popularity, the complete
beauty of her appealing, violet
eyes had never been fully realized
on the silver sheet. The reason
was that this shade of optic was
the most difficult to photograph.
Despite the most careful adjust
ments of light and shadow, blue
eyes would photograph white, in

but in his dSinterested devotion to his country He
is one of the finest examples of the of large af
fairs who has been willing at great personal sacrifice
to devote his talents to public affairs His career as
Secretary of War will stand out in history as one of
unusual service modestly and laboriously performed
with no thought of adequate reward even in publcl
approval His friends have long known that AFTER
so many years of public and private activity Secre-
tary Weeks wished to devote few years to travel
and recreation, but sense of duty held him to hs
post until he falling dead in the harness.

per year, or less than per cent
of the total flow, is all Nevada
can utilize. The remainder which
at any time shall be available to

of the waters of the Gila and Salt

No water should be allotted to

"Arizona's constitution provides
that the people shall have the right
to express approval or disapproval,
by the initiative or referendum, of
any proposed legislation touching
their political or property rights.
The determin nation of the rights of
Arizona in the waters of the Colo
rado by agreement with the other
Colorado river states is the most
important legislative proposal
which has arisen or can arise in
the history of this state. If an
agreement be reached when I am
/ Governor of Arizona, I shall rec
ommend to the legislature, that
such agreement be submitted tc
the voters. This may be done
quickly. 1t seems strange to me
that this assurance has never been
given our citizens. I say to you,
while I am Governor of the state
of Arizona, no agreement on the
river shall with my consent become
binding except by vote of the
people"

1t is amusing to read editorials in Republican pa

If the Hunt-Ellinwood contest for the governorship
It is nothing but the usual Republican propa-
ganda, always to be expected whenever contests de-
veope in Democratic ranks In every campaign there
is a contest for the Democratic nomination for gov
ernor, but after the primary the Democrats forget
their differences go to the polls and almost always
elect at the general election the candidate nominated
at the primary.
In addition to trying to make the public believe
that the Democrats are hopelessy divided the Re-
publican press goes step farther and endeavors to
make it appear that "al is harmony" in G. 0. p
ranks when, as matter of fact, the feeling be-
tween the Cameron and Heard factions is the most
bitter in the history of political parties in Arizona
