NEWSPAPER PICTURE

OF ROYAL FAMILY IS CAUSE OF CHALLENGE

i (By Associated Press) j MONTEVIDEO. Feb. 23. The publl1 cation by the newspaper El Dia of a photograph' of the 'royal family of Italy during the recent visit here of Prince Aimone de Saboya aboard the Italian cruiser Roma resulted in two challenges to fight duels and the early j departure of the Prince. One of the officers. of the Italian 'cruiser challenged the editor, who to

turn, challenged the Italian Minister,

but no duel was fought.

Considered Disrespectful. Offense was taken by the Italian

visitors to the capitals under the

photograph which they considered dis

respectful to the royal family. The

legends described King Viotor Eman

uel not a having the appearance of

one chosen to rule a people. Queen

Dowager Margarita as "small and in

elegant" and Queen Helena as "big

and homely."

Lieutenant Giovanni Gallatl of the

Rooia, according to the accounts, was

chosen by lot among the oficers of

the vessel to demand of the editor either a retraction of the phrases or reparation by arms on the field of honor. El Dia's editor, Julio Maria Sosa, published his reply to the challenge

in his paper saying he had no explanations to give, that he would not

recognize Lieutenant Gallati, as having been the offended one, but, that if

any offense had occurred, the proper

person to challenge was Prince

Aimone himself, as a member of the

royal family, or the Minister of Italy in Montevideo, or the. commander of the Roma. Appoint Court of Honor. Neither the Prince nor the two others mentioned came forward with a challenge, but the upshot was that a court of honor was appointed in accordance with the Uruguayan dwelling law which handed down a verdict that the offense was not of a character to require resort to amis but that "'the attitude of Lieut. Gallati, foundjrd on a private concept of patriotism, plways to be respected, was perfectly jpxpli cable and worthy of consideration."

The Theatres

WASHINGTON Why should a young screen player

possessing youth and a rapidly in

k-basing popularity desert the acting Md to try his hand at directing?

rlTiat is the miestion Tom Forraan ha? ippn f sited manv times since he made jliis debut as a director in Ethl Clay-

hnn's new Paramount picture. "Sins of rtosanne." now showing at the Wash

ington Theatre. j "It's just a ca.se of exchanging a limited opportunity for an unlimited one," said Tom recently, explaining: liis change. "I'm young now, but I'll grow older. I'd have to become a Mar within the npxt few years, or ti-ver. And then it would be only a cnestion of time when I would have to step down from stardom. With directing it's different. The older I got, the better I'll become, if things go well. Moreover, I spent nearly two yoars in the army. When I returned, many photoplay fans had forgotten

me. I had to begin over again building up my following. I decided that the time to desert acting and realize a long-felt desire to become a director bad come." "Sins : of Rosaline" is an exciting mystery-romance with a South African petting. Jack Holt Is the leading man, and the picture was adapted by Mary H. O'Connor from a story by Cynthia Stockley.' - ' MURRAY A cas-Yf unusual excellence supports Bessie Barrisoale in "Life's Twist," the Robertson-Cole Special which will be seen for four days at the Murray Theatre". , The picture is reported to show Miss Barriscale at the very pinnacle of her art as a dramatic actress. Foremost among her supporting cast Is Walter McGrail, the handsome and sympathetic young leading man, who scored so heavily In "Blind Youth" and other well known productions. His success is the fruit of many years of solid and substantial work on the screen. McGrail, as the well-bred husband of a pampered society girl, played by Miss Barriscale, gives a finished and highly polished portrayal of a young man who marries for money and then falls In love with his own wife. Kfcig Baggot, that redoubtable character delineator of the screen, as the disappointed suitor, plays a role which

Is the nearest approach to those lov able villains who excite the sympathy and good wishes of the audience. Baggot, the first actor to appear on the screen as "Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde." has starred In a number of well known stories as well as In the war serial. "The Eagle's Eye." MURRETTE Is a picture more popular than a stage-play? The coming of "MidChannel" at the. Murrette Theatre

Wednesday makes one believe that a

motion-picture is far more effective. Desrite the fact that the greatest female stage-star, Ethel Barrymore, appeared in "Mid-Channel" on Broadway, and made a record-breaking sensation, the picture "Mid-Channel," which is taken from the play by th,e great English dramatist, Sir Arthur Wing Pmero, promises to create even wider popularity and become the talk of the town, for Clara Kimball Young

was never as bralliant as in this latest masterpiece, and the luxurious settings, gowns, and indoor scenes surpass anything ever seen, on the stage or screen before. FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH The First Presbyterian church for Friday and Saturday will have as its principal attraction the latest National Picture, a special Ralph Ince production entitled "Out of the Snows," which is said to be a virile, soul-stirring drama containing all the atmosphere of the far North. It is further announced that Ralph Ince gives one of the finest characterizations of his career as Robert Holliday, a man known to the Indians of

the Hudson Bay fur country as "Storm Man." Supporting Mr. Ince Is Zena Keefe. Selznick's 1920 screen star, who effectively portrays the role of Anitah, a half-breed Indian hostess. The story is said to center around Ruth Hardy, a foundling, strayed in the vast depths of the rugged North.

Adopt Washington's Principles V Woodburn Urges in Speech Here

UNFURLS NEW U. S. FLAG INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Feb. 23. A new American flag was unfurled over the statehouse Tuesday, by Roscoe Shultz, custodian in honor of Washington's birthday. Mr. Shultz believes in keeping the colors of Old Glory bright over the state capitol, and a new flag is raised every month.

The application and bearing that' principles set down by the first president of the United States should have on our foreign relations were told by Dr. James Av Woodburn of Indiana university In his address on "Washington and Our Foreign Policy," before the civic department of the Woman's club Tuesday afternoon, "America is pretty much In Europe today," was a significant fact sounded by Dr. Woodburn. "Our capitalists, our tourists, our relief, our Journalists, our Red Cross and our bankers are there. We had no representatives at Geneva," Dr. Woodburn said, ."but nevertheless we were there In the person of our bankers and journalists. Are in World Affairs. "From Persia to Spain, from Moscow to Cairo, the ground Is covered daily by scores of American journalists and long dally communications are cabled by them to the United States at a cost of 20 cents a word. This." Dr. Woodburn said, "is because American Interests are wrapped up In foreign lands. We are," he declared, "in worlds affairs for good or for 111."

General rules for future guidance laid down by George Washinton in his "Proclamation of Neutrality" and more especially because of its greater permanent value, in his "Farewell address " of 1796 should be followed was Dr. Woodburn's opinion. Our attitude he explained should be "equally friendly and imparltal towards all,"

and we should "divest ourselves of

the habit of taking sides." Distrust Exists.

"Intrigue and distrust exist between

the nations of Europe today," Dr. Woodburn stated. "France is suspic

ious of England's Intentions toward

Germany and England, on the other hand, Is suspicious of France. The representatives of 40 nations that met

together to lay the foundation for fu

ture assemblies. he pointed out, country to follow, "sidestepped the question of disarma- :

ment, eliminated the world court and took no effective action for Armenia."

The nations of Europe which were victorious in the war received material gains but the United States, Dr. Woodburn reminded, had gained nothing but the experience which displayed a magnanimous spirit. Scores Statement. Commenting on a statement attrib

uted to a high British official to the effect that the United States and England are "treading the path that leads to war," Dr. Woodburn said that if the American people are told that continually they will eventually come to belfeve it. "Tension and crisis may come" as they have before, he said. "Facts must be faced." In this connection he said that it is not "reason, equity, and justice" that govern na

tions, but interest." In this industrial age of industrial rivals, the speaker asserted, England and the United States are rivals. They are competing for control of oil fields in all parts of the world and the United States in threatening to build the greatest navy In the world contravenes a British policy which has

Deploring the excessivenes of party feeling he admitted that while parties in free countries acted as checks on the. administration and were looked upon indulgently they should be mitigated. The existence of too much party spirit results be declared, in questions not being considered on their merits but from the standpoint of party plans and party expectations. Washington in his idea that the presidency should be above party feeling was "mistaken In part" Dr. Woodburn thought. He

called foreign Influence "the most

baneful enemy" of a republic and warned that the .disrupting influence could be used if there was lack of unity in our country. "Let Germany Sweat." Declaring that Germany was being given , a chance to rehabilitate too easily with the financial aid and concessions of people of this country, the speaker asserted that she was being allowed to recuperate for another war, and at our expense. His advice was "Let her sweat lest she forget." Going back to Colonial days he reviewed the fact that Britain and France were the International rivals of the time and that their troubles brought on Intercolonial wars. It was Washington's guidance and advise to keep out of the affairs of foreign nations that saved the United States from losing herself in those quarrels in early days. That we still maintain an aloofness from European Intrigue and disputes was the appeal that Dr. Woodburn made and one of the guiding principles, which he said, had been

laid down by Washington for the

OHIO LEGISLATIVE ISSUES SHOW CHANGE WITH HEW QUESTIONS COLUMBUS, O- Feb. 23. Through projection of new Issues into the legislative arena on George Washington's birthday anniversary the monotony of taxation jangles has been broken. Back of the change in the compensation statute is said to be an extremely interesting political history involving, in large part, the fortunes of Governor Davis, arising from the November election and the preceding

primary election. Bankers were to meet Wednesday In their state council, s which Is representative of the city groups and of the state association, and it was promised that the reorganization plan would be brought forward. - While state headquarters has taken no position, the lack of activity by no means has impressed leading bankers here for the session. Opposed to Change. They talked of strong condemnatory resolutions and asserted that they could see no justification for 'the ripping up of the state banking department. With those functioning in recent years they have found no reason to complain. The bankers also prepared to push

the Chatfield bill, introduced, to permit state chartered banks to take stock in the foreign trade financing corporation. The contention as to the harm done to the banking business by the reorganization plans is based upon fear that the entire personnel of the present department will be reduced to the status of mere spoils of office. The bankers assert that they have a strong case, in view of the law, which requires them to pay in fees a sum sufficient to cover the expenses of inspection. Others Join Protest.

Between Folkestone, England, and Boulogne, France. Is the North Sea. In this body of water is a rock which marks mid-channel. Ships stay far awayfrom this destroying rock, for it has wrecked many a good vessel. It is used as the allegorical basis of one of the greatest motion pictures ever filmed.

In this announcement extraordinary, the management of this theatre takes pride and pleasure in presenting the queen of the world's screen, Clara Kimball Young, in the greatest picture of lier entire career, "MID-CHANNEL," from the famous stage play by Sir Arthur Wing Pinero. We term the presentation of this production "an event" for the public of our city, knowing that all who appreciate the finesse and master touches found only in pictures of the finer sort, will appreciate the dramatic power and ultra-smartness of "MID-CHANNEL," which, as you may know, constituted ETHEL BARRYMORE'S SENSATIONAL STAGE SUCCESS at the Empire Theatre, New York "MID-CHANNEL" is a magnificent example of the advanced art in the production and presentation of the finer photoplays. It mirrors in every scene and in every actfon those deep-rooted human traits that are common to us all. So careful were the producers of "MID-CHANNEL" to preserve the precise details of every scene that during the filming of the picture each actor spoke the actual lines from the play exactly in the same manner as In the original stage presentation at the Empire Theatre In New York..
