THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, SATURDAY, JUNE 5, 1920.

NEXT WEEK AT THE HEATER

WASHINGTON Once In a while a story 13 put on the screen In which there is not only deep human appeal and dramatic suspense, but which contains a wholesome lesson that can be absorbed and taken to heart by anyone. Such a Tlcture Is "Greater Than Fame," in v.-hlch Elaino Hammerstein, Selznick's

charming star, will appear at the i

Washington Theatre tomorrow and Monday. As the title implies, there is some

thing greater than fame. The moral i

firlven home in this story is that it is 1 a happy heart, and that success can

best be obtained through contentment of mind, which can be obtained by patience and understanding. In the role portrayed by Miss Hammerstein a young country girl who . goes to New York to win success on the operatic stage and triumphs over obstacles and temptations she has a wide scone for her talents. The stage settings and atmosphere rre in keeping with the excellence of the cast and story, and the gowns worn in the production will attract special attention. MURRETTE When Edwin Carew set about to introduce Augustus Thomas well-known play, "Rio Grande," as his first independent production through Pathe, he picked out players that were particularly suited to the roles they were to portray. Rosemary Theby proved just the type for . the spirited Maria Inez, while Allan Sears was Danny O'Xeil to the life. Hector V. Sarno was chosen for the role of the Mexican "El Capitan" and Adele Farrington, Arthur Carew-, Peaches Jackson and Georgie Stone were ideal for their respective parts. "Rio Grandw" is announced as the feature on the program at the Murrette Theatre for Sunday and the first half of the week. MURRAY Arthur Hauk and his Sunshine Revue, coinpri.se five principals and a beauty chorus of twelve girlie girls, will commence a two weeks' engagement at The Murray opening next Monday matinee, with an entire change of play, scenery and wardrobe every Monday and Thursday. This attraction carries its own musical director, two stage carpenters and a car of special scenery, and is said to be one of the best miniature rrusical comedy attractions appearing on the larger city circuits this season. The following artists compose the personnel: The Four Musical Kings, a quartet of young men who play all manner of musical instruments from which they exude the seductive "jazz"; Helen Kennedy, prima donna and leading lady; Tom Collins, comedian; Barney Kleeber, assistant comic; Claude Reed, Tearl Wallace, Jack Owens and

The Sunshine Beauty Chorus. All the playlets presented by the company run exactly one hour and will be shown in conjunction with Vivian Rich on the screen the first half in ' Would You Forgive" a five-reel Fox production, and Harry T. Morey, the lest half in the five-reel Vitagraph feature, "The Flaming Clue", a thrilling detective story. The combination cf amusements will be presented by the Murray management without any additional cost to their many loyal patrons. The opening bill for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday will be "Dolly Dimples", and opening Thursday the company will present "Fun In A Court Room". MURRAY In the Fox production "Would You Forgive?" which opens at the Murray Theatre on Monday, as the first starring vehicle of Vivian Rich, occurs a scene which cannot fail to cause serious thought among men aid women

alike. A wife is destroying certain old documents and valueless keepsakes. She discovers a letter written to her husband in his bachelor days by a woman a letter revealing their relations. "Every man buries a thing like that when he meets a woman like you," the husband protests. "And every man expects a woman like me to forgive him for things like that," she replies. ' I wonder if a man 1'ke you would forgive a woman in a similar case?" There is injected the old question: why should a man's guilt be easily l'.ved down, and a woman's guilt never? RICHMOND When "The Romance of Tarzan" is featured at the Richmond theatre Sunday, Mofiday and Tuesday, the large number of film enthusiasts who have been sending in requests for weeks past regarding the date upon which the concluding chapters of "Tarzan of the Apes," by Edgar Rico Burroughs, would be released in cinema form, will have their demands gratified. According to the records on file in the box office,' "Tarzan of the Apes" played to more spectators than any other work of fiction that has been shown on the various screens of this city in two years. "The Romance of Tarzan" presents an even more gripping story, carrying the leading personalities in this epic of primitive life and the higher walks of civilization along to a denoument that is both surprising and highly satisfactory. Scenery of the most striking beauty provides a background for much of the thrilling action, while savage cannibals, apes, tigers, lions, leopards, and an almost human elephant give unforgettable novelty to the story at , various stages of its development-

OHIO ACREAGE TO DECREASE 900,000 ACRES, PREDICTED The state department of agriculture backed up its statement that planted farm acreage in Ohio this year will show a falling off of 900.000 acres compared to last year, in a statement from Columbus. Last year there were 11,546,625

acres under cultivation. This year the total will not reach 10,600,000 acres, according to W. F. Callander, crop expert and statistician. Other Startling Facts Other startling features of the present agricultural situation in Ohio are these: 1. There Is a shortage of approximately 40,000 farm workers. 2. Ohio will produce 26,000,000 bushels less of wheat this year than in 1919. 3. In April alone, with 20 rainy days, when farmers couldn't work in

their fields, they lost a total of 5,440,000 days of work. 4. In spite of the acute Ehortage of

farm labor, industrial agents now are working in some sections, trying to induce farm boys to go to the cities and work in factories. In making its recent survey of farm conditions in Ohio, the state department of agriculture had the assistance of some 1,500 live, up-to-date farmers, representing every township. The department has a total of 4,500 special correspondents, distributed thre to a township, but only a special list of 1,500 were called upon. These were furnished with questionnaires. "From our 1,500 correspondents we are able to say that the chief cause of the enormous reduction in acreage planted this year is the shortage of farm labor," said Callander. "There are 272,000 farms in Ohio and normally 408,000 men are needed to do the work upon them. Our best estimate is that today there are only about 370.000 men on the farms of the state."

The Farm and The Farmer By William B. 8anborn

SHORTHORN EREEOERS OF INDIANA ORGANIZE The Indiana Polled Short Horn Breeders' association was organized at v. dinner given at the Hotel Severin, Indianapolis, Thursday, by state breeders of high grade stock. A guest at the dinner was J. II. Martz, or Greenville, O., secretary of the American Polled Short Horn Breeders' association. Marvin J. Ranck of Roan, Ind., presided. The association elected the following officers: President, Marvin J. Ranck, of Roan; vice president, Elmer C. Shaffer, of Bourbon; secretarytreasurer, H. C. Rose, Rossville. The first annual meeting of the association will be held next February la Indianapolis.

Allison Meyers, living southwest of Liberty, Is very pessimistic as to his growing wheat crop. The country road running by his place divides his 425 acres into two farms of even size, and there was quite an acreage planted to wheat, both on the home place and on the farm run by one of the Meyers boys. Mr. Meyers says his wheat isn't looking good, and most of the farmers rear him can rightly make the same complaint. Asked as to probable yield he stated that there is no telling until he comes to thresh. "Might not have any to thresh," is the way he put it.

From Straight Line Pike. Delbert Fleisch, who farms on the Straight Line pike, says that he didn't plant a great deal of wheat but what there is of it is looking pretty fair. A part of his wheat was disced in oats this spring, to at least insure some feed and straw. As to corn Mr. Fleisch says he has 60 acres in and that it has made a good start. So far as he knows all the farmers in his neighborhood finished corn planting this week, at least the latest of them did, while the corn planted earlier is now being worked. Mr. Fleisch says he has 75 thrifty Tigs running on grass, and that most of them came early. His loss of cold

weather pigs was very heavy, about 50 per cent of the farrowlngs. His Corn Looks Fine. Wralter C. Bulla of Boston, says he has 60 acres of corn which made a running start, and has already been worked once over. Says too, that so far as he knows all corn is now in down that way, and that early planted fields are being worked right along. Mr. Bulla has upwards of 30 acres of wheat which is beginning to head and ihould at least make a two-thirds crop. As to hogs he has less of them on feed than common at this season, having but 70 head of fall pigs. His loss of spring pigs ran rather light this year and he has 100 or more on grass. He isn't feeding any cattle this summer, the cost of feed and the price of cattle being too greatly out of line. Big Wheat Crop in Sight. They have some mighty fine wheat on Crestview farm, just out of Lib

erty, according to Will Fosdick. There !

are 90-odd acres in the three fields, and except in a few low spots where water froze, it looks very promising, now that it is heading out. Mr. Fosdick says his wheat is an fine as any he has seen in Union county and he is hoping for a banner crop. Asked as to the weather and if he had been

soaked with rain he said that all: showers had gone around them for I three weeks, though there had been j some heavy showers within the past I

lew days In Union county and south. There are 70 head of fall pigs on feed at Crestview, and 75 piglets in

the clover just now. Mr. Fosdick has faith in hogs for later marketing and is preparing to feed right along, to the extent of nearly 100 acres of corn. He says he has a good stand of corn and that this seems to be the rule with his neighbors, most of whom, like himself, are now cultivating. Five Acres In Tobacco. There is a Burley tobacco enthusiast at Crestview, who put in a good Burley tobacco seedbed, as early as

possible, and who is just beginning toj

transplant. Says plants are small but thrifty and' that Crestview has some

fine tobacco soil, of which five acres j will be planted to the weed. There j will be more or less experimenting

with small patches of Burley leaf around Liberty this year, the Fosdick field being the largest we have so far learned of.

HESSIAN FLY RE-APPEARING IN UNION COUNTY FIELDS M. A- Nye, county agent at Liberty, reports the return of the Hessian fly in a few fields in Union county. Just what damage may be done to wheat is problematical, and so far the fly haa enly been found in fields which were infested last fall. Mr. Nye inspected several fields on Friday, and on Saturday forenoon. The pest, he says is not appearing in large numbers as yet, so far as he has been able to determine. v In the main, wheat is looking well and

promises a much better crop than was anticipated early in the spring. Some parts of Union county have had ample rain, while in other spots no rain whatever has fallen for about three weeks.

Farm Federation

Miss Helen Hadley Does

Honor to Teacher and Self at E. C. Recital One of the most artistic and pleasurable concerts ever heard in Richmond or at Earlham College was the commencement recital of Miss Helen Hadley given Friday evening, when she was presented by her teacher, Miss Laura Gaston of this city. Miss Hadley came to Richmond eight years ago and since that time hag been a pupil of Miss Gaston, known as one of the finest musicians and teachers in Richmond. Miss Gaston has studied under the finest

teachers in America and Europe, and

Miss Hadley's performance naay evening was as much a credit to her teacher as to herself. The program in itself showed that Miss Hadley is an artiste. Her poise was an outstanding feature of the entire performance. The inward response of Miss Hadley to the musio was noticeable in the feeling which the put into her work. Her interpretation was exquisite. In a group composed of "The Iark." by Glinka BaUkarew. "Etude" by Chopin and "Valse" by Debussy. Miss Hadley displayed her versatility. The last of the group was especially well rendered. The chef d'oeuvre of the evening's nprformance was a "Concerto

in A Minor" by Grieg, which was a compend of Miss Hadley's ability. She was assisted in this number by Mrs. Hugh Foss. Mrs. James Tearson of Indianapolis, formerly Miss Mildred Barrett of Earlham College, sang several numbers. She was formerly teacher of voice at Earlham and was well received by the audience. Miss Sybil Loutborrow, of New Madison, whom Miss Gas-ton presented two years ago, played the accompaniments for Mrs. Pearson. Miss Miriam Hadley, who often appears with her sister, displayed as great amount of skill in a "Polonaise" by Vieuxtpnips.
