cadets are sporting gold cigar
lighters and regulation sabers as
a result OF the recent invasion OF
Donald Crisp, william Boyd. and
supporting Pathe-D eMille players
to film DRESS Parade" at the
United States Military Academy.
According to Director Crisp, on
his return to Hollywood after
filming the picture. no film conf
pany on location ever received
more hearty cooperation than did
the Pathe-D eMille Company. This
was especially true Of the cadets
themselves. They worked tlse'
lessly; they were willing to do
anything that the director asked.
and they saved him from many
minor errors by explaining many
of the little known customs ana
traditions at the Point.
AS 81 result Of this splendid Co
operation, Crisp presented the
cadets with the lighters ana
sabers as souvenirs at Q special
dinner at the Thayer Hotel upon
the last evening Of the compaiy's
stay at the Academy. Mr.. Crisp
spoke feelingly about the ala ne
had received and of his gratitude,
not only for the help. but Tor the
friendships he was sure ne and
the members Of the company had
made.
Brief addresses were also made
by william Boyd, star Of the pic.

Handsome John Is
AT Work on New
Picture

Tempest, 2 the new John
Barrymore picture which United
Artists will release as one Of its
biggest 1898 specials, represents
the largest financial outlay, the
longest production schedule and
the greatest striving for popular
entertainment in the stars screen
career.
Started early last autumn, the
cinema feature is still far from

past several weeks.
Tempest" incidentally answers
the plea OF thousands of Barry
more's admires for a picture in g
modern setting. After a series OF
big costume pictures, in which he
played romantic characters OF
hundreds OF years ago, Barrymore
and his United Artists associates
have, yielded to popular demand
and filmed a modern story--a
saga Of twentieth century Russia.
In Tempest" the screen and
stage idol has the role Of q devil

of the heart and sword lead him
into some Of the strangest ad.
ventures of the revolution which
swept out czarism, made fugitiYes
out OF grand dukes and rulers out
Of peasants. The early part OF
Tempest" depicts all the pomp
and luxury OF the empire; with
the revolution comes the most
gripping perturbation yet made of
that national cataclysm.
Barrymore, as leader Of a band
of rebellious dragons, is sup
ported by a cast OF hundreds, the
principals OF which are Louis Will
helm, Camilla Horn, the German
star, who came to this country
to become Barrymore's leading
lady; George Tawcett, Ullrich
Haupt, Boris de Fas, who also
came to America from Europe es-
pecially to appear with Barry

blanks from which he obtains money
to effect enactment OF laws necessary
to maintain his dictatorship.
This is the picture of Macnado's IS
dictatorship as gained from Cubans
who oppose it, and from several COM
/ petent American journalists:
Machado has suppressed all oppoSi-

He has forbidden and prevented oper-
alton of any opposition party Com

President Coolidge suppreSsing the
democratic party. Police have brutally
routed attempted political meetings
and petition of 10000 voters for a
meeting was refused
! The Cuban congress has withdrawn
from the people the right TO elect
their political choices, wrecking the
election laws established by Americans.
DR.. CosIno de la Ferriente, once presi-
Fdent OF the league of nations, and
Enrique Jose Varona were among
those who banded together to protest
various abuses but .Machado sent mis-
army after them.
Machado and his congress are hav-
ing their terms extended two more
years.
Freedom of the press, as in Italy,
has been abolished. Many opposition
newspapers have been suppressed.
Editors have been aSSassinated-Ar-
mando Andre and Antonio Lopez were
two. Others have been jailed. de-
ported or forced to flee the country.
Thanks to the American Federation
of Labor, atrocities against Cuban
labor leaders have gained considerable
publicity. Many Of these leaders have
been mysteriously murdered, others
have disappeared under suspicious cir
cumstances and many others have
been imprisoned.

More Truth Than Poetry
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

IT'S HER NATURE
When lovely woman bobbed her
And wore them waved instead OF
straight
And donned abbreviated dresses
And thereby greatly graced her
gait
/ When she revealed the fascination
OF an uncovered snowy throat;
I She gained more real emancipation
Than when at last she won the
vote.
In vain have prudes essayed to curb
/ her,
To bid her wear long skirts again;
No criticism can disturb ner
| Though they an1use her now and
then
She still insists upon the fashion
! That she has followed for so long
For those who think that she is
wrong.
She saunters down the pavement
lightly,
Her neck is open to the breeze.
Her step is firm, her gait is sprightly,
No cumbrous cloth confines her
knees.
Though surly sermons now and then
are
Directed at her modern airs,
She's quite as sensible as men are
About the clothing that she wears.
And will she suffer a reaction.
Supposing that the style should
change
And find delightful satisfaction
In clothes uncomfortably strange?
Will she return to trailing dresses
If changing fashion bids her to
And wear those long annoying tresses?
That's just exactly what she'll do!
HARD TO PLEASE
The bootlegger's life is not an easy
one. The law blames him Tor putting
alcohol in his liquor and his cusicm-
erS blame him for putting water
in it.
REAL HEROISM
Ours is a stole race. We have now
endured almost two months without
a spectacular murder trial
ON SECOND THOUGHT
Maybe If Diogenes had had a tele-
vision outfit-but no, it probably
wouldn't have helped him any.
OUTCLASSED
Evidently Paris has discovered that
it was hopeless for her to try to COM
pete with Reno.

! that any Cuban who values his life
does not set up shop as political
enemy of Mister Machado.
,
Cuba became an independent repub-

amendment, which provides that the
United States may exercise the power
to intervene in order to preserve the
independence of Cuba and to main
tain a government adequate for the
protection of life. property and in

Various Cubans have implored the
United States to intervene to main
tain such a government, but there
seems no chance OF such intervention.
They charged that in spite OF civil
