ASK THE HORSES


Tonight is the night Lady Godva rides in Chicago
only the lady CD is going to walk.
Following out the same ntwt branstorm that has
engineered the Arts ball. the committee decided that
the pageant nwhich the ady( )s appear represents
the year 2OCO A. d. at which time horses will be
tinct 1t would be inconsistent to allow the lady CD to
ride broncho
This explanation is disappointing. We had hoped
that perhaps the Chicago horses had gone on strike
and refused to haul lady CD garbed in the robe of
Eve 1t appears that the horses not consulted
about the matter at all-which would seem to be to
the horses gain.
There has been only futile sort of objection from
the good people of Chicago the Arts ball pageant
This of course is to be expected in community where
machine guns bark with alarming regularity and the
great outdoor sport is get your before he gets
you. Appearance of Lady Godiva would hardly be
likely to ripple of surprise say nothing
of offense, under the circumstances
Between Big Bill" and Lady Godva", Chicago is
certainly getting plenty of publicity of sort most
cities do not desire. In humble opinion if they

AFTER BRATI4NU-WH4T?

With BratIanus death, almost anything may now De
expected in Roumanian political circles.
Not that the premier was essential to Rounlanian
welfare, but he was strong parsonage and moved rap
idly. He kept firm hand the various agencies
seeking to overthrow the regnng regency and restore
Carol to the throne His methods perhaps harsh
but he deemed them necessary if not for the welfare
of the country at least for the maintenance of the
ularly constituted government
Now that he is gone most certainly Carol will have
less difficulty in returning to establish himself in the
government than he would have if Bratianu had lived.
If Carols almost certain return and seizure of
troll of Roumania is all that develops it will be
markable. More than likely such occurrence will
only be the beginning of more trouble in that sick
spot of Europe-The Balkans. Things of this kind
have pernicious habit OF spreading themselves
other sections of Europe.
There is oil in Roumania and oil is dangerous
thing to have around where there is fire.

We have known weather bureaus to err in their pre-

The best way to settle it is for Giles to take off

that he is being starred in his own

In his screen portravels of the last

to light comedy, and finally, to sym
pathetic character interpretations,

Foreign Direction.

"TN these lays of camera angle
discussion. in and out of the mo-
ton picture industry, too many freak
ish, unnatural and impossible shots
are TAKEN" according to Erich Pom
mer, Paramount foreign producer.
Since Pommer is largely responsible
for the camera angle epidemic, his as
sertion is considered surprising, but
he made himself clear.
He is the European producer who
stirred the industry by presenting
such pictures as THE Last Laugh"
Variety" THE Cabinet of Dr. Cali
gari," Faust" and Metropolis" and
other forward,stepping pictures. He
recently completed Hotel Imperial, F"
q Pola Negri picture, which will be on
view at the Rialto Theater, beginning
Christmas day.
MY formula is quite simple" said
Pommer in response to a question.
MAKE the camera view the scene as
the natural spectator would see it.
No person ever lay down on a track
in the face of an oncoming racing car.
No person ever peered through key
hole and saw the entire interior of a
room. No person ever looked at a
hold-up man and saw nothing but the
mouth of the gun in gigantic, wholly
out of proportion size.
TOO much talk of camera angles
will harm the industry. People come
to the theater to see a story revealed
entertainingly. They do not come to
