Talk Gymnasium
 At Meeting

The entire evening, Wednes- day, was spent in general dis cusSion as to ways and means of constructing a gymnasium.

 Twelve hundred rebels, advanc- ing over open fields in the face of raking machine gun fire, lost their lives in a. series of assaults which constituted a forty eight hour battle for possession of the city of Mazatlan, Mexico

Cinema Shake-up Now
 Expected

A move which may sound the death knell of silent motion pie lures was taken by William Fox in an announcement which said that, beginning last Monday, the Fox Corporation will pro- duce only dialogues and musical pictures. More than two hun dred stars of the legitimate stage and musical comedy, including Will Rogers, Willie Collier, and George JeSsel have been sign ed by Fox as we'll as song writ IFS, stage producers and play rights. Oscar Straus, Vienese writer, has composed a score of books of operettas and other plays which will be used. The change is regarded as a revolu- tionary move, marking a mile post in the elimination of many mOvy stars whose voices do not register up to standard for the talking movies.
 A later announcement by Will jam Fox is to the effect that af- ter an expenditure of ten million dollars is made in four of the large Fox Studios in New York and California, dialogue and mu- sical pictures will be produced. Twenty-Five complete new re- cording units have been put in operation in a Fox plant cover ing over one hundred acres at Fox Hills, California, was a state ment by by Fox this week.

VICTOR HuGO'S WORK
 AT LIBERTY THEATER

Les Miserables" the immortal book by Victor Hugo was written between 1846 and 1855, mostly while the great author was in exile be- cause of Napoleon's wrath at his radical writings.
 The book was written to faithful ly record the social conditions of the masses at the time-their su- perstittons-their greed-their ig- norance-their virtues-and a ray ot fine love and loyalty. Hugo wrote It to arouse the thought, and sym pathy of all nations, and always spoke of it as international.
 No literature or author is more highly loved than Hugo and his works, and in making a moving picture of Les Miserables" the French producers spared no ex- DenSe or time to make it perfect
