THEATERS

The big tent used in Charlie
Chaplin $ "The Circus, y at the
Valley Thcater, is of a cosmopoh-
tan character, and necessarily the
action that transpires inside it does
rot confinc itself to any stated
period or type. The show is one Of
the old style horse drawn variety,
travelling from town to town, with
in such distances as to allow a
couple of performances daily and a
removal at night to the next stand,
without resorting to any journeys
by rail,
After the evening performance,
the top is dropped, the poles are
lowered, the canvas is rolled, and
the S and brackets which consti
tutcd the seats are packed into the
allotted wagon and off they go on
the open road to the next stop. The
proprietor and some of the principal
performers sleep and cat in car
riagcs or "living wagons which
accompany the show, but the others
are content to lodge in small inns
Always adjacent to the show grounds
some eating in cooh-tcnts, and
those who can afford it patronizing
the nearby restaurants.
Old time circus performers may
possibly comment on the fact that
the side poles, as used in the circus
shown in Charlie 5 picture, arc not
regulation size, but really double
height making a very high tont
Wall-hut this was purposcly done
to allow for an effect which Charlie
desired.

SILENT LEAGUE 0f
 NATIONS FORMING
American Capital Is Having Its
 Influence

London. Feb. ? (UP)-American capital is forming a silent league of nations in which its political as well as financial influence offsets the ab- sence of the United States from the other league at Geneva.
 On top of tremendous loans to Germany and Poland. a $25O.0oo. 900 Hritish-American loan to Jueo- Slavia is in prospect. If it is con- summated. as is regarded certain. it will make American influence dom- inant in the dominating nation Of the little entente.
 The prospective new loau-an ad- dition to a previous $4o.0oo. .ooo loan to Jugo-Slavia for railways, bridges and municipal works-was regarded as likely to cause considerable politi- cal repercussion in France and Italy, though for widely different reasons.
 This repercussion would be all the greater if as was thought likely the loan entailed the appointment of British and American financial ex- perts as directors in Jugo-Slavian finances or railways.
 France distrusts any foreign in fucnce likely to gain d foothold in Juso -Slavia, CT"choslovakia or Po- land. inasmuch as her system of all dances and her predominant inf1u- ence in it is vital to her entire scheme of diplomacy.
 France constructed the little GIL tcntc as a safety cordon in front of Russia and behind Germany
 French sensitivoness to American influence in these regions is shown by the outcry that was raised when Americans made q large loan to Po- land, resulting in the appointment of American experts 10 supervise Polish finances.
 With the present loan American financial influence is predominant at both ends of Frances safety cordon. and means the certain dwindling of French influence.
 For entirely different reasons. the reaction of Italy is likely 10 be more important. because her relations with Jugo Slaya are most dc liCate.
