TWO GOOD FILMS
ATTRACTION FOR
this WEEKEND

Father and Son." a film which
contains lesson for all fathers and
which may prove guide for them
in dealing with their boys, is the at
traction tonight AZ Fox Imperial
theatre.
It is based on Booth Tarkington's
"Old Fathers and New Sons,' and
every American knows how well
Harrington understands the juve-
nile viewpoint, though strange to
say, he is a bachelor himself.
A boy understood by his father,
forms the theme of the picture.
The father of course does not mean
to be harsh but he has forgotten his
own boyhood and when his boy gets
into mischief, the measures he uses
to correct him are not the most de-
sirable nor effective.
Father and son eventually get to
understand each other and become
regular pals. Lewis Stone is the
father, Irene Rich the mother and
Leon Janey is the boy. There Is a
great gang" apd colored boy who
supplies plenty of comedy.
Sunday night Bert Wheeler and
Robert Woolsey will be on the job in
Half Shot at Sunrise" a rollicking
tale of two A. E. F. members raising
Cain in Paris. Dorothy Lee, Rob-
erta Robinson, Hugh Trevor, Edna
Mae Oliver and Leni Stengel, plus
Wheeler's cigar and glasses, help
the comedians to produce laughs.
The stars of The Cuckoos' are
at it again, and ought to give all
motion picture fans good start
for the week.

Students of the Far East do not con-
ceal their concern over these develop
ments. In their opinion 1t is not mere
territorial expansion the Japanese seek.
1t is control of the entire Chinese trade
and the outlets to the Pacific. II the
occupation Of Manchuria by the
Japanese becomes an accomplished fact
the whole trade from Northern China
and its tremendous hinterland must go
through Japanese occupied territory.
A glance at the map will show this.
The Japanese are credited with the
intention of building a port south OF
Vladivostok as soon as they can COM
plete the railways from Kirin to Yenki.
This port has a great advantage over
the Russian port of Vladivostok. be-
cause, being further south, it is never
blocked by ice. Consequently when that
port is ready, the goods coming on the
TranSsiberian Railroad from Mongolia
and Northern Manchuria, as well as
those coming from Northern China, its
hinterland, will have to pass through
Japanese territory. All the Chinese
built or operated railways will be in a
territory China no longer controls and
these will ultimately have to go to
japan
