Naturally it has been highly gratifying to. me that my ac- ' complishment has been recognized as a great achievement by all the thousands who have seien.it. I: could. have played most :any show during Conference week far more profitably, but I believed that the psychological moment for Corianton, and the Immense crowds which have attended the show is sure pleasing to me. reMy: friends who looked in on hearsals advised me to advance prices to $3.50 for top prices, declaring that the show should get that money. I preferred to present the play at virtually cost prices, and have been wholly repaid for my efforts by, seeing the large crowds 'who have applauded my best efforts so far performed in stage life.

It is The Song of Love, starring the magnetic Norma Talm-adg- e, and it would be difficult to visualize a role more fitting for the star. It is one of the finest and most artistic performances to her credit. In this First National picture, which was produced by Joseph M. Schenck, Miss Talmadge plays the part of an Arabian dancing girl who becomes the center of devious intriShe is the gues and conspiracies. main attraction in the tavern of her uncle, and hews of her charm of face and figure and her dancing drew many from far and near. Falling in love with a stranger, she discovers too late that he' is a spy, but she finds that love is stronger than hate and racial pride. Joseph Schildkraut, one of the sensations of the - Broadway stage, is Miss Talmadges leading man, and, in our estimation, is entitled to stellar heights through his interpretation of Other the part of the spy lover. notables in the cast are Arthur Edmund Carewe, Laurance Wheat, Maude Wayne, Earl Schenck, Hector V. Sarno, Albert Prisco, Mario Car-ill- o and James Cooley. The Song of Love was adapted from Margaret Petersons novel, Dust of Desire, and was directed by Chester Franklin and Frances Marion. pulse-quickeni- ng PIONEER FAT MAN TRAINS FOR WORLD COMPETITION co-st- ar i , He is the fat guy that has been, walking around the streets of the city for the past 100 years trying to see how big he could get.
