tute the motion for the word," said Dwan. How the people lived came in for its full share of Dwansque scrutiny. Did the people live on fatty foods? Were they athletic? Did they have to tight hard for an existence, or was
nature bountiful? Many similar questions came up which had to be an
swered correctly if Dwan would cast true to type. The theatregoer casually observing the film on his favorite screen will never guess what "research" meant in connection with this
production. And- the little matter of "locations" that just unfold neatly for the spectator on his handy screen!
After a futile search Dwan decided to hunt for locations via the air route. Accompanied by his associate, Arthur
RosBon, the trip was made, soaring
along the coast and over mountains, until suitable locations were sighted
and "clinched." ,
The cutltng and editing of the pic
ture Dwan trusted to no one. He in
stalled a projection room in his summer home bo as to give this branch of the work all his spare time. "Soldiers of Fortune" will be seen at the Murrette theatre Thursday, Friday and Saturday. .

Slick Defended, Blamed by Members at Board of Works Meeting Thursday One written compalnt was received by the board of works Thursday and several verbal ones were, reported in regard to the city's trash and garbage. The written complaint was referred to the city engineer, who was instructed to notify F. E. Slick, trash and garbage contractor, for action. The members of the board were devlded in their opinion of the trash and garbage contract, Harry Gilbert, president, saying that Silck was progressing favorably. Gilbert said that he. upon investigation early Tuesday
morning, found that the contractor
had six trucks and several teams
cleaning up the alleys.
John Peltz said that he was getting tired of being stopped on the street and being barrassed because of the conditions of the alleys, and that he oid not think Slick was removing enough ashes to keep up with each day's accumulation. Peltz suggested that the city should take some action, such as putting teams on the job, under supervision of the street commissioner, and charge the bill to . Slick. No action was taken. Ask for R. R. Gate Damage A letter was received asking that
the city pay for damage done to gate
at the railroad crossing on North Eigh
th street by a fire truck, while on a run. The matter was referred to the city attorney, members of the board saying that, under the law, the city was exempt from any damage done by a fire truck while out on an alarm. Several samples of the new flooring that would be put in the city building as part of the re-decoratlng of the Interior were submitted by City Engineer, Davis.
Westcott Gai'ting Case Date To Be Set Friday .The date for trial of the Westcott hotel men arrested on gambling charges by police Saturday night, will be set by Circuit Judge Bond Friday. 'Trial of the case will probably be set for one day next week. A. Bishop, one of the defendants, who left Richmond Tuesday, after putting up bond, was expected to return
Thursday, local officials were advised. Sickness in his family was given as the reason for his leaving town.
"In event Bishop puts in an appearance the city court affidavits will be dismissed," said Prosecutor Freeman Thursday. "However if he does not return I shall ask Mayor Zimmerman to call the case for trial in city court, and have the bond of Bishop forfeited.'

WASHINGTON "Amost a Husband," starring Will Rogers, which Is showing at the Wash
ington today, contains a number of
finely drawn characterizations, which
were carefully reproduced' in this in
teresting Opie Read story. "Almost a Husband," is laid in
small Arkansas town, drowsily exist
ing along the sleepy banks of the old ?
Mississippi river, where the "up-bcat" is cause for excitement. Nothing ever happened there until Sam Lyman, the new school master hit the town. There Is the town banker. His beautiful daughter, plays opposite Rogers Herbert Standing, the grand old English actor, Is her financier father. Ed Brady is seen as the mule trader villain. Cullen Landis is the lad who loves in a puppy fashion both his pchool sweetheart, played by Clara Horton. and Will Rogers, the teacher. RICHMOND One of the most important setings In "A House Divided," which la the current attraction at the .Richmond Thea.tr. Is a cottage in the French town of Belleau. This cottage was
constructed in the Blackton studios In Erooklyn. of brick and plaster, from photographs of a cottage which stood in Belleau before the Germans besieged the town. After the peacetime scenes concerning this cottage were filmed by Commodore Blackton. it was then bombed in the studio to put1 it in realistic condition for the after-the-war scenes set therein. MURRAY. One of the most interesting scenes In "Beckoning Roads," the RobertsonCole feature in which Bessie Barriscale opened yesterday at the Murray iheatre. is that which shows the Interior of a big New York cabaret. Great pains which were taken at the Barriscale studios where "Beckoning Roads" was made, were not without their effect, for the scene is one of the most impressive e-er put into a society story. The floor of the cabaret is more htan 200 feet in length and more than 60 couples are seen dancing upon it at the same time. "Beckoning Roads" will remain at the Murray theatre for four days. MURRETTE. It was not enough for Allan Dwan. producer of "Soldiers of Fortune," by Richard Harding Davis, to know what the people of the novel wore or the geographical location of the story. How did Davis's characters talk? A story I: id in South America, in a certain provinc of t certain country, must be filmed true to the given place.
