purposes and ideals of the American i

Legion; and, further, that the initiation section provide a sufficient provision for comedy to make that feature both Interesting and entertaining." It was the sense of the meeting that the latter be optional with the posts. The adjutants also expressed a "firm and uncompromising conviction that any attempt on the part of congress to eliminate the regular army members, former officers of the late war, or any other class of service individuals, from the benefits of soldier legislation shall be regarded as undemocratic and unfair." The recommendations of the conference will undoubtedly carry great weight with the national convention of the legion in Cleveland, O., in September, as well as with the executive committee.

The three-day conference of state .adjutants of the American Lesion was fcBWirht to a close in Indianapolis Sunday afternoon with the adoption of resolutions, following an address by K. G. t'homely-Jone.s, director of the

war risk insurance bureau. The adjutants expressed themselves as heartily in favor of all departments carrying out "faithfully such instructions as shall be properly given by 'national headquarters in accordance with directions received from the national convention or the national executive committee," in recognition of the "fundamental American right of the majority to rule." Indorse Fourfold Plan The resolutions also indorsed the stand of the committee on recommendations in favor of legislation by congress extending to former service men land settlement, home aid, vocational training and adjusted compensation. "We feel, says the report, "that the Amtrican Legion, in the interest of a square deal to all, should give its support to the original American Legion fourfold benefit plan or none." The adjutants recommended that the national executive committee

A constitutional amendment to make the national commander and all past national commanders life delegates at large to national conventions was recommended. The preparation of a ritual or manual was urged "for the universal use of posts at initiations, funerals, etc., and we further recommend that such rituals impress fully the higher aims.

WASHINGTON Norma Talmadge has troubles "of her own in "She Loves and Lies," an adaptation of Wilkie Collins' famous novel which opened at the Washington theatre last night. Not only is she called upon to assume the roles of a young actress, a frequenter of Greenwich Village, New York's famous Bohemian quarter, and an old lady of fifty-two, but she must play the latter part so well that she can land a husband of about half her age and she gets away with it. "She Loves and Lies" is one of those plays that interests at the start, grows in suspense and ends with a climax that contains a . surprise. Miss Talmadge has the best opportunty of her career for comedy work, and shows that she is talented in this line as well as emotional roles.

Conway Tearle, her handsome lead

ing man, also has a role well suited to his talents and is an admirable foil

to the fun of the star, and the rest of

the cast 13 excellent.

Altogether "She Loves and Lies" is

a delightful comedy with an unusually good plot, a vehicle that adds much to

the reputation of its star. PALACE. Dorthy Phillips, the star in "Paid in Advance," the newest Jewel photoplay released by the Universal credits the theory (shared with some others of the stage and screen world) that most women are attracted to the motion picture theatre to see, more than anything else, the gowns worn by the actress. The more extensive and varied a star's wardrobe is, according to Miss Phillips, the more successful wilt be her career, providing

of course, she has talent.

Miss Phillips has said on the subject

of clothes:

"Some of the motion picture stars

spend one day each week at the dressmaker's. I think that is a very good system. Indeed it is a fight to keep well ahead of the trend in styles a problem that confronts every screen actress it she is to maintain her pres

tige as a player. "Once a star has won a reputation for model clothes she will be subject fcrever thereafter to the closest scrutiny. The public demands that she be everlastingly engaged in thinking up new gems in apparel. Woe unto the favorite who neglects this public mandate." "Paid in Advance" may be seen at the Palace Theatre. MURRAY A girl is a creature full of whims, according to Vitagraph's latest production, "Human Collateral," in which Corinne Griffith is the star. This production is scheduled as the feature attraction to show at the Murray theater the first half of the week. Miss Griffith appears in the role of Patricia Langdon, daughter of a wealthy Wall street operator. Her parent, Stephen Langdon, -.suddenly becomes enmeshed in financial disaster and is compelled to negotiate an enormous loan from Roderick Duncan, the young banker who is engaged

to be married to Patricia. Patricia, who up to that time ha3 felt love for Duncan, learns of the business transaction and conceives the mistaken idea that she is virtually being transferred by her father to her fiance in lieu of collateral for the impending loan. The girl experiences a sudden, whim and pique over the idea. Her whim is to humiliate both men for their apparent mercenary motives. The girl, therefore, insists that her engagement to Duncan be drawn up in the legal form of a contract by which she is formally transferred as human collateral for the loan. It is presented as one of the strangest whims a girl ever had, and it leads

to an unusual climax full of dramatic interest. MURRETTE Tom Mix, William Fox's famous cowboy star, made good with a vengeance Sunday at the Murrette theater, where he opened an engagement in his latest dramatic story, "The Daredevil." - Mix wrote and directed this fast-moving and thrilling story of how a young man, son of a rich father, made good and won the girl of his heart. In the role of the heroine Eva Novak is most efficient. She shares with her hero lover the thrills and the dangers, and when at last the bandits and desperadoes are van
