U.S. PENSION SYSTEM nnoTC once oni ceo

SAYS ANNUAL REPORT (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. The American pension system cost the public $255,201,662 during the fiscal year end ed last Jane 30, according to the annual report of the commissioner of pensions cent today to President Harding. Of this amount $253,807,583 was paid out for pensions, the cost of maintenance of the system being $1,394,079. That the number of pensions In this country Is -rapidly diminishing is shown in the statement that $4,908,2o9 less was paid in pensions during the past fiscal year than during the previous year; that 25,082 Civil war veterans died, as against 24,775 for the previous year, and that 21,2o9 widows died as against 19,451 the year previous. . The number of pensioners on the rolls June 30, 1822, was 547,016 compared with 566,053 on June 30 the previous year. Of these, 193,881 were Civil war veterans; 272,194 Civil war widows; 45,955 veterans of the Spanish war, and 9,198 widows of Spanish war veterans. There were 73 soldiers drawing pensions . for service in the war with Mexico, and 49 widows of soldiers of the war of 1812. Several important modifications of the practice of the Pension Bureau were brought about during the year by departmental decisions. One decision held that a person who enlisted in the regular army snbsenuent to April 22, 1898, and was discharged on or before April 11, 1899, or who enlisted in the navy or marine corps after May 4, 1898, and was discharged prior to April 11, 1899, could be considered a "volunteer." This holding favorably affected hundreds of claims filed by widows and minors of soldiers of the k Spanish war. 1 Instructions approved in August, last year, provided a more liberal system of rating claims of Spanish war soldiers under the act of June, 1920.

AMUSEMENTS

MURRETTE Set formulas for motion picture production were cast to the winds when Oliver Morosco, noted theatrical producer, decided to enter the film field. Instead of inducting' a herd of tamed and cowed cattle into a stampede scene to parade before the camera, Mr. Morosco had a band of cowboys round up the most vicious steers that could be found. Then he got busy with dynamite and warwhoops and a low-flying plane and the stampede started. It was a riot, literally and otherwise. The scene was shot by the earnerman and used for "The Half Breed," the picture for which it had been made and which is the current First National attraction at the Murette theatre, where it will play for two more days. Mr. Morosco's initiative was all the more heretical to experienced producers bcause it was his first attempt at motion picture producing. Although some dyed-in-the-wool critics have compared him to the individual rushing in where angels feared to tread, the majority of critics who have seen "The Half Breed" have conceded the stampede scene to be one of the most thrilling and hair raising incidents ever presented on the screen. "HONEY BUNCH" Curley Burns, supported more or less by the entire "Honey Bunch" com pany, now playing at the Washington theatre, Is the "hit" of the miniature musical comedy production. Curley is the show, first, last and always. He is the truest kin to the "Smoke" Grey and the Jay Clay of the O'Brien minstrel that ever struck this fair city, and his philosophic talks to oa

Ae each day's show is different, presenting a new outlay of costumes, scenery, song numbers and plot construction, it Is hardly necessary to dwell on the slight plot accompanying the attraction on Wednesday, its first day. Suffice It To say that all except the very personnel of the company Is changed for each succeeding day. The main performers include Palmer Hines, a principal character; Roy Kinslow, Irene Hardy and Neda Nite. Lynn Griffin's appearand with a fair partner In "In Rosetime," is one of the feature moments of the program. Neda Nite also scores in several numbers. Only the best can be said for the company'. Clean jokes, a pleasant chorus, pretty costumes and an atmosphere of friendliness permeates the production. MARVIN. MARVIN. MURRAY - . J. Barney Sherry, who plays the part of Edward Burleigh, millionaire mill owner, in the Select Picture, "Just Outside the Door," which is the current attraction at the Murray theatre, is probably as well known to the great motion picture clientele the world over as any prominent star, with possibly a few exceptions. A star may make possibly six productions a year, seldom more, and often less. It Is difficult to estimate Just how many big pictures a- year Mr. Sherry appears in. So much in demand are his services that it is not an unusual thing for him to be working on several productions at once. Being a free lance, with him it is a matter of choice and not necessity, as there is TROIBLED WITH WEAK KIDNEYS "Have been troubled with weak kidneys eince childhood." writes Mrs. G. Hyde, Benzonia.

hardly a producer in the world whoj would not be only too glad to sign Bar-1 ney up on a long term contract at practically his own figure. In the "good old days" of the motion picture, when a two-reel film was advertised as a "super-special," J. Barney Sherry was playing Western Sheriffs with Tom Ince's Kay-Bee outfit Now the debonair Barney is generally seen as a bank president or man of "big business," but he still can play the sheriff as well as ever if necessary. That's what makes this actor so popular. His versatility. Heroes, villains, old aristocrats, young bandits, he plays them all and plays them well, as any-
