COUNCIL TO ACT
ON FLOOD BOND
ISSUE MEASURE
Submit Ordinance Tonight
for $4,000 Project
at White River.

An ordinance authorizing a $685.
600 bond issue to pay the city's
share of the White River flood pre-
Vention project between Morris and
Raymond Sts., will be introduced in
council tonight.
n Smiley N. Chambers, assistant CITY
attorney, was instructed to draft
the ordinance by Oren S. Hack,
works board president. The county
Will pay As per cent and the abut-
ting property owners the remainder.
A. 1t is hoped that work can be be-
gun soon after sale of the bonds.
Contract Held Legal
- The bond issue would pay for
these major items:
National Concrete Company.
$4,000 for new eighty-four-foot-
wide span over White River at
Morris st.
G. E. Jefferson, $470,000 for con-
tract to widen and straighten the
river course.
Granite Sand and Gravel Com
pany, $225,00O for land purchased
tor the Strengthening plan.
: billing & Co., 100000. damages
for property acquired.
Engineering and supervision costs,
$4,000.
The Jefferson contract was ex-
ecuted by Duvan administration
board of works, but council never
appropriated the money to put the
agreement into effect. The contract
recently was held by John w. Holtz-
man, corporation counsel
The works board composed of
Hack, John McCloskey and Charles
L. Riddle, recently rescinded the
Duvall administration contract with
the National Concrete Company for
the Morris st. span. The plan pro-
vided for frightening the bridge at
its present width. Legal department
aids found the agreement illegal be-
cause no competitive bidding was
provided. New bids were asked.
~ Start Elevation Soon
~ A. H. Moore, city engineer, plans
to push the south side flood preven-
ton work as rapidly as possible,
beginning some of the work when
money from bonds is available. It
VIII take about sixty days to sell
bonds.
e. Start of the Belt railroad south
side track elevation program is con-
'tingent on start of the prevention
project because of an agreement
between the railroad and city. The
railroad has been ready to begin
the $12,000,00O operations, waiting
for the city to fill its part of the
agreement. Work will begin within
thirty days after start on the bridge
and the elevation completed in ten
years.

In the Stock Market
(Bv Thomson & McKinnon

NEW YORK, May 28.-It is very
likely that traders will be forced
to attach more attention to the
credit situation this week than has
been the practice heretofore, for
the advance of the discount rates
by two additional reserve banks is
evidence that the board has no in
tention whatsoever OF reducing
pressure on this important factor.
Today the usual Monday member
bank adjustments take place, while
on Saturday a new set CT broker
loans will be available and, from
appearances, it would seem that the
reduction of last Weei, may be more
than wiped out. If this comes to
pass, then the market is back in
the same condition which preceded
the break some days ago. The only
bullish factor which we can see is
that there will be a considerable
sum of money available on June
i through distribution of interest
and dividends, and if employed for
stock market purposes, will have
favorable effect.

CHICAGO, May ga bearish
construction of lack of rain over the
American Wheat belt, and only scat
tered rains and some hail in Canada
sent wheat futures lower at the
opening on the Board of Trade to-
day. Corn was nervous and inclined
to follow wheat while oats lost frac-
tionally.
. At the opening wheat was down
u to l Is cents; corn ranged from
4 cent higher to y cent lower, and
oats were unchanged to Is cent
down. Provisions opened lower.
There was no material change in
weather conditions over the Ameri-
can Northwest wheat belt over the
weekend. Temperatures were mod
crate, but there was no rain. The
Canadian Northwest received scat
tered showers and some hail. Tenn
peratures are normal. Liverpool is
closed.
There is little change in the corn
situation. The old stocks are dim
inishing rapidly while the new crop
is in the ground two weeks ahead of
time and is off to a flying start.
The market will probably be in
duenced by the cash market.
The situation in oats resembles
that in corn. Old stocks are dwin-
ding, and the new crop is receiv-
ing favorable growing weather.

of Miss Dove and Brook creates that
understanding. At first you will de-

He is heartless and works on the
theory that women are his toys.
But he finds there is one woman
who refuses to be a toy. So she

him, of course she falls head over
heels in love with him. That's the
way it seems to work out in the
movies. The ending is logical and
you must give the director credit
for it. He leaves you with a story
ending that the movie audience
must solve. And it seems to me that
, Many of the sets are large. In
fact, some of them are beauties,
especially the reception at the
hunting palace. You may forget
everything about the picture but I
think that you will remember with
ease the work of Miss Dove and
Brook in "The Yellow Lily
Of course, you are interested in
the stage show this week at the
Circle. Dick Powell is getting along
very nicely. This man is popular
and he is developing his own way
in handling the job of master of
ceremonies. He is singing MARY
Ann" this week and when I was
present, there was no doubt that
the audience loved both the song
and the singer. Who ever staged
this number did a good job in
bringing on the girls. Well handled.
There are three colored men in
this revue who do some mighty
warm hoofng. These men know
how to dance and they know how
to sell it. Crandall and Markey
have an eccentric classical burlesque
dance which is good for many
laughs. These two girls are clever.
There are numerous others in the
cast.

an old friend, Handsome Harry"
Kellogg. Kellogg had married mon
ey and wanted Nat to do likewise,
and split the profits with him.
But Nat, while trying to carry
through his part in marrying the
bankers daughter, Jesse Lockwood
falls in love with the druggists
daughter, Betty Graham. Betty was
poor and so was her grandfather,
old Sam Graham, the owner of the
drug store. But Nat put the store
on a paying basis and sent Betty to
school
It is before Betty comes home
that Kellog shows Up and wants his
profit. Seeing that he is going to
lose, he tries to get Nat and Jesse
engaged but his scheme don't work
out right.
The picture has q lot Of comedy
in it. sgd Chaplin, as Nat, is kind
to all the old ladies, and every one
else. In being polite at the board
ing house he gets the boarders down
on him. A very funny scene. He
has those essentials Of comedy that
made him fano)s in Charles
Aunt" and others.
Helene Costello has the part Of
Jesse Lockwood, the village vamp.
and daughter Of the richest man
in town. She does some good work.
Clara Horton is Betty. She makes
a demure sort of miss and is entic-
ing after she returns from school.
Banker Lockwood is played by a
man named Anderson. Sam Gra-
ham is taken by Thomas Jefferson
and the two villains are played by
Paul Kruger, the man in love with
Jesse, and the other by Duke Mar
tin. Martin is Kellog. There are
several other comedy characters in
the picture.

Harrison did in BRASS Knuckles."
And after he was paroled on ac-
count of it, he adopted the daugh-
ter of a prisoner who didn't like him,
but knew he was good.
Monte Blue is William Zachary
Harrison and called FAC. Zas
was still looked up by the police
after he was out. They keep an
eye on him to see that he didn't do
the wrong thing. Zac's pal, Velvet,
also got out at the same time, but
Velvet wasn't quite as honest.
Lamont was the fly in the ONT
ment, although Fac didn't take any
stock in his statements at the time.
Lamont was still in prison when FAC
was out. June Curry was the
daughter of a man in the prison,
Fade Away" Curry, who hadn't
seen his daughter in years, but he
wanted Fac to look her up.
June was in an orphan asylum
when FAC went to see her. And he
invited her to see him some time.
So when the gang was going out to
do some robbing June came to see
Fac and he couldn't go. But Velvet
did and got into trouble, but FAC
cleared him. And they both got
real work and were honest.
FAC thought June a little girl and
Velvet thought different and took
her to a cabaret and FAC took her
home It is here that Lamont tries
to get Fac into trouble. He makes
the police see that Fac is violating
his parole and he adopts the girl,
under the guise of being her father.
But William zacary Harrison knows
better and June learns that he loves
her.
Monte Blue has the role Of Fac
and does some good work with it.
He has builded a real man of Will
liam Zachary Harrison.
June Curry is played by Betty
Bronson. She makes a splendid little
girl and very pretty young woman
The part is not heavy but calls for
some consistent acting, and She
gives it. Fair melodrama.
The other picture is a comedy
with Lew Cody cast as Anthony
Dare, a writer of "hot" love stories
who finds out that writing and liv-
ing the scenes is not the same. His
wife cures him of that. Aileen
Pringle is cast as Kitty Dare.

Of this comedy. Fair stuff.

He thought Ramona very lovely and
she thought of him. They were to

about the plans and stopped it, she
thought, by locking the door, But
Felipe helped them.
Ramona and her husband were
very happy and in the course of
time there came little Ramona. She
grew ill and the doctor refused to
come to them. The daughter died
and as Alessandro was about to

and her husband escaped, but later
Alessandro was killed and Ramona
lost her memory.
1t is at this point of the story
that the picture takes on a deeper
interest. Up to this point it has
been a very pretty love story, run

been the one hurt. After his

hut, where she is taken care OF By
Indians.
Felipe takes her back to his
rancho and tries to restore her
memory. Here is the finest bit of
acting I have seen Dolores Del Rio
do. Under Felipe's care she finally
remembers things that happened
before she left. She is back to the
place where she started, before run
ming away with Alessandro.
Dolores Del Rio, at this final part,
is at her finest in the picture. She
does a really great part. Roland
Drew is Don Felipe, the brother by
adoption. He is quite good in this
part, making his character one Of
deep sentiment. Warner Baxter is
the Indian, Alessandro He is quite
consistent in his part, but does not
rise to any heights. Vera Lewis is
the sonora. She is a very stern old
woman. A good love story.
On the stage is Frank Corbitt,
who sings several numbers and
among them Victor Herbert's "Mys-
teries of Life" He has a good voice.
Helen Swan also sings some songs,
but they are of the popular variety.
In her last song she gets the Or
chestra to join in now and then.
Kendall Copps is an eccentric and
acrobatic dancer, He is good at
this. He also played a number on
the saXophone.
Sunshine Sammy late Of the
"Our Gang" comedies, and his
brother are in the stage show,
These two were in the city some
time ago. They do some good tap
dancing. Sammy has some freak
dances that he calls "the jellyrole,"
"the messaround" and the wood
pecker"
The overture is called Ramona
and the piece is brought into the
number. Dusty Rhoads sings the
song on stage. The organ solo is
"a Miniature Concert" in which
Lester Huff plays number OF ia

character that he plays. That is
one quality of the greatness of this
actor. Bill is mighty rough on his
woman but when he does treat
her badly, he is the first one to open
the door on her return.
The director has been wise in CIV
ing Jannings as much latitude as
possible. because when it is all said

Jannings. I do not consider the
THE Street of Sin" a great story,
but 1 do know that JanningS does
some great acting in this one.
Here is a story Of man IN Lon

And he gives his life in the struggle.
There are several others in the cast
who do realistic work.
Charlie Davis again lets his Or

the show. And when I was present,
the orchestra and one of the singers
with Davis tied the show up cold
Davis knows how to pick the num-
be that people want to hear.
Joe Jackson with his funny
trousers and his trick bicycle are
all present in this revue. Jackson
is unique in his comedy. Many
have tried to initiate him, but he
is so much the artist that NOBODY
can approach him. Here is a tramp
comedian who is so much the artist
that he is a classic. 1t is pleasant
to record that he does fit in very
well in the modern presentation
idea.
The revue has the services of sew
eral good singers and dancers. The

melodious. Stuart Barrie is at the
