Charlie True to the Silent.
CHARLES CHAPLIN, who has said
time and again that he would never
have anything to do with the new
tangled talking pictures, has recently
issued an announcement which makes
that fairly definite. A new 1llm COM
pany, to be known as the Charles Chap
lin Picture Productions, Inc, has been
organized for the purpose of producing
silent pictures and nothing else. This
company, Mr.. Chaplin says. will spend
between $5,000,0 900 and SIC, 000, 900 year.
ly on production programs.
Besides Mr.. Chaplin, it seems, this
company is to star four or five of the
foremost players in the industry. Just
who they are likely to be Is not yet
known, although the comedian admit
ted that he had discussed the project
with John Gilbert" film actor. mas
much, however, as Mr.. Chaplin believes
that pantomime is one of the greatest
mediums Of expression, and that he is
willing to spend seemingly limitleSs
amount of time and money on 1t, it ar-
pears as though the project should have
the best that anybody can procure.

THE limitations of the comic antics OF
the Colonial slaves used for mirth-
making purposes shortly after the
American Revolution seems to have
been the basis and origin OF what Is
now known as the minstrel show"
The first printed reference to black
face act in the United States is to be
found in the Boston Gazette of De-
cember 80, 1899, in which attention is
called to Mr.. Graupner, who, In
black face, sang song called THE

Many innitators followed in his wake,
and finally the first minstrel show was
born in New York City during the
month of February, 18l3. It came

The Once Over
TO A NAVAL FARLEY DELEGATE FROM
HIS WIFE.
BY e I. PHILLIPS
Copyright. 1880, BY The Associated Newspaperso

Ny Dear Gideon:
This is Just a line to let you know you still live in
our memory. The children all speak Of you quite
often. They do not remember your face. Of course,
but they hear me speak Of you and have seen numer-
Gus references to you in the cable news ever since they
we're little tots.
1t is for their sake that I sincerely hope you are
alive and well and that we may some day see YOU
again. as the ~neighbors are beginning to talk. It was
all right for the first four or five years to tell them
you were in London at a naval conference but they
no longer believe that story and I can tell by their at
titude that they really believe you are in jail or some
thing.
oh. how ] yearn to see you again. Gideon! I am
quite sure 7 would know you. although you have
probably changed a lot during the years since I last
saw you. Have you aged greatly or taken on flesh?
The children have come on a lot during the confer
ence debate on cruiser. Willie. who was but three
years old when the conference first took up that
question. is now in his senior year in High School,
and Hilary, who was five the month you and the dele
gates first began discussing battleship requirements,
made the varsity football team at Yale last fall. Eve
lyn. who was in the cradle when the parley debated
the abolition Of submarines. is now engaged to a fine
young man and she often asks me what her daddy
is Ike. Would that I could remember
I suppose you know we no longer live In the old
nome. The march OF progress could not be halted
and a few years ago the house was RACED to make way
for a fifteen-story business block. The whole neigh
borhood is no longer residential. and the old railroad
station. where we saw you off TO the London Naval
Limitations Conference. has beer replaced by a new
and magnificent structure.
Did you know that President Harding had died?
Probably you have heard Of that. A boy named
Lindbergh flew to France alone in an airplane called
the Spirit Of st. Louis. General Smedley Butler has
been retained to drive crime out Of Philadelphia. and
a young writed named Eugene ONeil has written a
sensational play called Desire Under the Elms.'
Well outside Of that. things are about the same. I
think 1 told you in my last letter that I lost an eye
in a taxicab accident some years ago and that I have
been quite III ever since the Hudson Fulton celebra-
ton. I am feeling better now. though.
Do try to break away from the conference. if only
for two or three years. SO the family can see what
you look like again. If you can arrange to come
home cable me and I will meet you at the station. I
will wear a red rose so you will know me. You can
carry an American flag.
With ali the love in the world. and hoping we may
live to see the naval parley ended, I am
Your loving wife.
Emma.

Why Misrepresent Mitchell

Washington correspondents including the represen-
tatives OF powerful news agencies, broadcast a story
that Atty. Gen. William D. Mitchell, "a Minnesota
democrat" was slated for the place made vacant by
the death OF Associate Justice Edward Terry Sanford
Of the supreme court Of the United States.
Justice Sanford was only 65. He was appointed to
the supreme court in 1923 by Pres. Warren @. Hard
ing. He was a republican. He was an ultra-conserv-
alive.
Why parade Atty. Gen. Mitchell as a democrat?
In 1916, he deserted the democratic party, which
was his American privilege. and cast his ballot for
Charles Evans Hughes for president He voted for
Harding. He voted for Coolidge. He voted for
Hoover. He has affiliated with the republican party
for IA years. he is a very able man, a very brilliant
LAWYER. but he ceased to be a democrat long ago.
