CHINArSTARTS-FIRST; NATIONAL MINT SOON:

NEXT WEEK AT. THE

EH E A T ER

' ' " ' By Associated Press.) SHANGHAI. Jan- 22. The first ; step in an effort toward uniformity in ;Chnlese- currency will be undertaken 'by the building here of China's first ; national mint. The work will be directed by an American mint expert, Clifford Hewitt, of Philadelphia, whose , services have been loaned to China by the United States and who came, here ta short, time ago to begin his "duties.

Mr. Hewitt installed the new' mint at Manila, the first established in . the (Philippines. -: ' .. ' , It is expected that th completion' of " the hew Chinese mint will put an end to the conglomerate system : of currency of all kinds and values which 'has long been a drag on the commercial progress, of China. ;'. . ' Mexican Coin Is- Unit. ' ' While the Mexican dollar, Introduc- - ed into. China from the Philippines, has come to be the cbmmon unit of value, the various tuenuns, governors and other officials of provinces have issued coins that are dealt " withcommercially at values based tra the quan- ' ttty of , their silver content.. The Chinese tael in which government funds and customs ordinarily are reckoned Is not a coin at all, but a silver "slug of a given weight and fineness, differing in weight and value in the different provinces. The Shanghai mint is to cost about , 2,000.000 and be one of the largest in the world, rivalling in size and output the mint at Philadelphia. It is to have a capacity of 500,000 silver dollars a day with a daily consumption of 14 tons of silver in addition to baser metals used as alloy3. Mr. Hewitt hopes to have, the plant completed and in operation withm two years. ' He Is the originator of many of the ' machines and processes in use in American mints, having been in the -service of the United States government for 24 years. He was builder of ; the American mints at Denver and Philadelphia.

Under the manager plan, there : would be a department of law, department of finance and other departments' as might be established by the ordinance. The commission would by ordinance prescribe and define functions of all departments and a director would head each department. The city attorney would be director of law. . All other department heads would be appointed by the city manager and . might be removed by him. Effective on Passage The act would take effect on pass- . age, bo far as nominating and electing officers is concerned. In all other respects it shall be in full force and effect on Jan. 1, 1922. Some of the opposition to the bill is expected to come from friends of men who already have their candidacies under way to win mayoralty nominations at the spring primary. It is probable that a date for a public hearing on the bill will be arranged for within a week after its introduction.

HOW TO BANISH PILES

Thousands Bless Dr. Leonhardt, the Physician Who Discovered a Common Sense Remedy.

If you think that the surgeon's knife is the only method of escape from the misery of piles, it's because you haven't heard of the new treatment known as Dr. Leonhardt's HE.MROID. The Doctor's treatment is internal. By experimenting for years he discovered the exact cause of piles and then went further and compounded a remedy that would remove the cause. ' Dr. Leonhardt wants every sufferer to benefit by his discovery and so that there will be no doubting or delay Quigley's drug stores and all druggists are authorized to sell HEM-ROID with guarantee that it will do as stated or money back. " On that honorable basis every sufferer should secure a package of Dr. Leonhardt's HEM-ROID today. Advertisement.

' - PALACE . Bob Sands is a puncher from the Southwest. He got Into Manhattan a few days ago and was employed by Mr. Harrington, the millionaire railroad man, to undertake to tame young Larry Harrington, his son. The brightly lighted districts of the metropolis have known Larry for some time past as a spender who has no regard for

his father's millions, and who can fight like a demon. But Bob started in by licking his charge and then tried to help him collect some letters foolishly written to a pretty little waitress. But Bob fell for the lady himself and then Harrington, Sr. called in a private detective to get the evdence. The latter got away with the papers, but Bob borrowed a mounted policeman's horse and followed the fleeing taxicab. Overtaking it, he got the letters and returned with the young millionaire to the'girl. Then he learned that she didn't care a bit for Larry, but was strong for himself. Now they are going back to Arizona, where Bob says he has room to yell when he wants to and where there is space to ride without humping into cars and policemen every ten feet. Above is the outline of William S. Hart's new Artcraft picture, "Branding Broadway," which will be presented at the Palace Theatre next Sunday. C. Gardner Sullivan wrote it and Hart did the directing. They say it is a different Hart picture and the public will agree when they see it. Seena Owen is Mr. Hart's leading woman in this production. MURRETTE The William Farnum company was given some thrilling moments in San Francisco during the making of the new William Fox picture "The Scuttlers." which will be shown at the

Murrette theatre next Sunday. Mr. Farnum plays a detective from Llodys of London and allows himself to be shanghaied as a common sailor. The

first mate orders him to unfurl the sails, and when he is at the top of the mast, having an intense dislike for him, orders a sailor to loosen the yard. The result in making this scene was that Mr. Farnum, as Jim Landers, flapped about on the yard very much as a loose coat sleeve would flap out of a racing automobile. For a few minutes everyone held

their breath. Of course Mr. Farnum knew his strength, but the watching crowd could not be sure. Then the captain's daughter, who was not in sympathy with the plans of the mate, shouted an order to square the yard, and Farnum climbed down to safety. "The Scuttlers's is by Clyde C. Westover, and J. Gordon Edwards directed the picture. MURRAY VAUDEVILLE Tthe following is a brief synopsis of the headline act opening Monday matinee at the Murray for the first three days: Harry Mason who features as a Hebrew peddler in "Getting the Money" is one of America's leading pqrtrayers of the Hebrew character as it really

is. His latest comedy play is rather an unusual vaudeville offering. The peddler's son Abe, wants to be a fighter so that he can make enough money to send his sister to college, the old peddler objects, he wants the boy to

be a peddler. After much persuasion from daughter and son, he reluctantly agrees. His determination to see the fight, excitement at the ringside, his collapse at receiving $800, all go toward framing the funniest and most unique cast of characters and situations presented to vaudevilians in years. The supporting act3 are Johnny

Small and Small Sisters in "Puppy, Love" a Komedy Kid Klassic with j

eiungs Dy urDan, the New York artist; Alice Hamilton the "Quaint Comedienne," and Bell and Caron In "Bits of Variety'! .with Frank Mayo on the screen In "The Marriage Pit." The following describes briefly "Rubeville" the big headline act opening Thursday for the last half consisting of ten rube comedians and a brass band, the greatest comedy act in vaudeville and the most costly ever presented locally. The general store that dispenses gossip as well as merchandise and is to be found in every rural community has been used as a locale for C. B. Madock's production, "Rubeville." Here they have brought together around the old wood stove all of the

cnaracters commonly known as "Sodbusters" and enliven the proceedings by introducine the advance a rent nf

an itinerant wagon 6how. The chair warmers comprise a silver clarinet band which is the pride and joy of every farming community, and also a male quartette, which no husking bee or quilting party would be complete without. "Rubeville" is a conglomeration of ruralities that is going to contribute materially to the jollification of all urbanities. In engaging his cast the producer has selected Marry B. Watson and Reg. B. Merville for the stellar roles. Mr. Watson is seen as the proprietor

of the general store and hotel and be. contributes a fine bit of character acting. Mr. Reg. B. Merville, who has just returned from two years of eerv-j ice In France plays the part of the constable, which part he created. His, too, is a characterization of merit. The supporting company are all men, each of whom sing, play and make merry. Completing the vaudeville portion

will be Green and Deane, two clever chaps who "Sing Nifty Songs - in - a Nifty Way;" Keeper and Kewpie in "Artistic and Character Dance Creations;" and Mary Dore, a clever girl who sings and offers impersonations. William Russell will be seen on the screen in "The Iron Rider,' 'a fivereel Fox production of thrills and heart-interest. The management offer

to compare this bill with any vaudeville bill in Dayton or Indianapolis and judging from its personnel we think the challenge will go unquestioned. There will be no advance in the admission prices and the time of shows will remain as usual. MARVIN MURRAY "Beware of the Bride." the popular William Fox farce comedy at the Murray Theatre, will end its run Sunday night. Eileen Percy plays the star role, and the cast includes such wellknown comedy players as Walter McGrail, Hallam Cooley, Harry Dunkinson, Jane Miller, Ethel Shannon and

George W. Banta. For the most part the picture portrays the Intensely ludicrous adventures of a new bride at

a masked ball. The comedy is well sustained and the fun often uproar-ious.

The Best Amusement Organization Ever on Tour Coming to the Washington Theatre Richmond Indiana Tuesday, Feb. 8th Matineee, 2:30 Night, 8:15 In announcing Guy Bates Post and his excellent company as the best amusement organization ever placed on tour I am only repeating the opinion expressed by every theater manager where this matchless attraction has been presented. When negotiations began to have Mr. Post REMAIN in the United States during the present season, his manager, Richard Walton Tully, had already completed arrangements to have Mr. Post and his unusually excellent company appear in Mr. Tully's theater in London in both "Omar the Tent Maker" (his former success) and "The Masquerader", in which Mr. Post has been so phenomenaly successful the past four seasons. The Associated Theater Managers of the United States did not relish the plan of having the two leading Dramatic Attractions, Guy Bates Post and Sothern and Marlowe, both absent from America at the same time, and as Mr. Post had but recently toured Australia, it was deemed best to have him again tour the United States before making a prolonged run in London and the English Provinces. The same excellent company that was to have visited London will this season visit the leading cities of the United States, and, excepting for a few minor roles, it is the same company that has presented this unusual success for almost four consecutive and continuous seasons the same wonderful scenic equipment with its massive double revolving stages, its two mechanical crews its triple electrical equipment and inimitable resources that require three mammoth cars to transport, will visit the Washington Theater, Richmond, matinee and night, Tuesday, Feb. 8. The stage of the WASHINGTON THEATER is large enough to accommodate any attraction that has ever visited the state, BUT THE STAGE MUST BE CLEARED OF EVERY VESTIGE OF HOUSE SCENERY AND PROPERTIES, AND THE REGULAR CURTAIN REMOVED TO ACCOMMODATE MR. POST'S MASSIVE PRODUCTION. THE BOX OFFICE WILL BE OPEN FOR REGULAR SALE OF SEATS, MONDAY, JAN. 31. MAIL ORDERS will be filled in order received now, when accompanied by cheque or' Postoff ice money order, together with selfaddressed stamped envelope (to avoid error) -add amusement tax of 10'. The mail orders and advance sale for this unusual attraction wiil undoubtedly be the largest in the history of the theater and we earnestly suggest early applications for seats. Prices are Boxes, $3-00; First floor, $3.00; Balcony, $2.50, $2.00; Second Balcony, $1.00 for any performance.

Respectfully,

E. W. BELL
