Thp neonle in Hollywood huve been
tireetlng the appearance of deputy
litrlffe with subpoenas for some et tnu
conspicuous members of the livelier set.
And strangely enough many of- the
really important people about the film
community are in n mood te welcome
them with bnnds and ruffles of drums.
They want daylight In red frlnses of
the colony because they believe that It
iU help te clenr the nlr nnd revive
unity among sets thnt seem ( have
pne a bit mad with sudden prosperity.
What the better clement in the movie
world Id feeling and thinking at this
jnement wns summarized vividly by u
director of reputation who, for ehvimiH
reigns, didn't want his name printed.
Heady for Clean-I'p
"I don't mind saying," he (-aid,
"that 1 knew Fatty nnd that I'm sorry
for him, nnd thnt I knew bin crowd
and that I'm net sorry for them. Neither
Fatty nor his crowd represents the best
that Is going en here. If there Is te
be n clcmi-up it ought te go ull along
tie line. About 10 per cent of the
pteplc in the Hollywood colony de most
cf the mischief, and are getting all the
attention.
"The technical men and the best
actors and actresses keep nwiiy from
the parties. It stands te riaen that
yea ennnet go the pace and de geed
wert the Kirt of work thnt the big
Itudlps are turning out. I've never
lien te one of their riots in my life,
ind I knew that 111) per cent of the
people here could say the ,n, tbiug.
And I'm net saying thnt it is the poorer
element that is reckless nnd disorderly.
"What about that roadheu-e p.i.n
tp near Ilosten, where they caught some
of the biggest fish In the puddle nnd
ihoek them down seven ways, If half
I heiir is true? There Is u set thnt al
ways has clung around the theatres nnd
the movie studies and they ought te be
chased nut of California. They help te
raise the devil with everything they
touch. Then we have h-re lets of girls
who drift in te hope and wait and
truititle until they're ashamed te go
home nnd ndmit defeat.
' Sometimes Yeu Hear of If
'.'It's nwful te see some of them. They
hang nreund and get In debt nnd they
are feels enough te go running at the
beck of nny piker or any of the li.ards
tvhe linng around here mnkliig premises
te them. They have n crash sooner or
later and sometimes jeu hear of it nnd
nmetlmes jeu don't, l'eeple who be
lieve thnt the movie business is all ease
lad money are crazy. "It's bnrd work"
for these who get along in It and it's
hardest of all for tlie directors and the
technical men who have made the pro
fusion wlint it Is artistically.
"V'hy, these actors nnd netresps
don't Knew anything. They oeme here
Jitli minds like the minds of rabbits.
They are selected because they photo pheto phote
trapli well You've get te mr.e nnd
kick sense into nil of them. It is the
director that nets, net the stnr. The
'tar enl does what he or she is told,
and en'e get te tell them ever thing,
every move, ever gesture. They make
me sick. Fatty makes, me bids. The
joener they are shown ill) the better.
Id like te see Ilrndy cart the whole let
them up there for an airing."
"They" sometimes felt differently.
The Sabbath culm In some sections of
the bungalow area was disturbed by
Jlvhl discussions of the ease of absent
Fatty.
What Oue (ilrl sis
"Virginia," said one' girl, "was of

nd In her senses? It seems te me that
fatty has ;;oed cause te be son; If what
he says or ,f of it is tine. I ma
fe wrong I think Virginia wus most
te blame."
Most of the I loll weed crowd grew
"'lent nt the mention of the ease. The

dropped en te the stage of the theatre."

theatre, und Jumes Carter, Ins as
sistant, who were detniiicd by tlie
authorities after the Hie. vcrc later
released upon their own rccegnizunce
te appear ut the Corener's hearing.
The pln house wns crowded at 7 :K()
o'clock and preliminary features of the
entertninment were being completed
when the tire was discovered. Spnrks
were seen dropping down in front of the
silver screen upon which the picture was
te be projected. There was a shout of
"fire, and panic seized the crowd.
In an instant, there was a rush for
the open air. but it appeared the most
of the spectators tried te get out the
main entrance Instead of using the
emergent exits at the sides of the tbea
tie. Many cool-headed persons nt
tempted te restrain the crowd, shouting
there was no danger, but their work
wus futile, as wns that of the orchestra,
which continued te play for some min
utes nflcr the first alarm was given.
These who tried te stem the humeu tide
weie swept away in the crowd which
crushed its way toward the doers.
Many who had seats in the balcony
of the theatre leaped eer the rails and
fell en the heads of the struggling peo
ple below. Several children in the crowd
poured toward the exits of the theatre,
nuil their parents were in many cases
injured while tr.Wng te lift them above
the press about them.

I'elice Captain Cehiiiii. who, with his

sent for Kdnu. She came in, rosy from
some outdoor recrentlen, her brown eyes
sparkling, her bright hair holding still
the Imprisoned sunlight.
"Sit down, Ted; I must put you
'wise,' as jeu sny It, te something,"
her father announced.
"A secret geed!" she nnswercd.
"Yeu bet It Is. Andrews bus been
here, and be well, he has u business
preposition," Mnttisen begun und went
en te outline Andrews' idea of a love
affair.
Kdnn listened with grave eyes thnt
at the same time were seethinir with
being i umusemeiit. "Se I am the party of the
second part.' she queried. "What nn
idea ! Ge out te win n girl as you
would buy n sack of potatoes!"
"New, lass, be geed te him. Yeu
nre the girl he selected from a long
list, ufter he had gene ever the points
et eneu one. Anyway, dun t be tee
' hard en him, but n bit of education
might help."
I "I think se. Yeu keep n weather weather
ee out, dad. and see what happens."
I Andrews came the next day In his
cnr. Kdnn was ready for him, read
for wlint she thought would be a highly
entertaining afternoon with a new kind
of male. She discovered immediately
thnt he would need a let of educating.
He took her te the home he had
bought, a delightful spot commanding a
view of the river und the scu. As they
finished their stroll about, he paused
and said simply, "I wish te offer you
this home, Miss Mnttisen, and "
"And yourself with It?" she ques
tioned. "Of course," he replied, a bit puz
zled. "As te my character and busi
ness, your father has nil the facts.
though 1 will go ever them it you
wish."
"He does need educuting," she e'.
claimed te herself. "Yes, but you left
something out of our preposition -u
commodity called 'love.' Doesn't that
enter in?" , ,
"That is u miner mntter und will fol fel
low In dm course."
"Is it?" she demanded, n little angry.
"It is important te me. T wunt te be
wooed and wen and loved.
He looked et her quietly, n.id she
saw n new light In his eyes, dim and
far-burning; nnd suddenly it enme ever
her thnt be wns desirable clean and
(in,, in eluirncter. of the type who are
true te one woman until the hills give
up their (lend.
"Loek," she said gently. "I wnnt
veu te ceine te u little geed time at
inv home tonight. New don't say you
won't."
He came, looking tbe quiet strength
thnt was in him. l'uzzled and awkward
at first, he thawed out. One of the men
who evidently knew something of him
led him te tell stories of the lumber
camps of the far North, where his
business called him each year. They
were fascinetlug talcs. All In nil, it
was nn interesting evening, nnd she
knew that pnrt of his education had
begun.
She snw te it thnt it continued. She
drew hliu from his business into her
pastimes. She discovered a deep bub
bling streum of unlet fun in him; she
saw that be was getting mere and mere
in love with her --but he didn't know knew
It! New and then she caught some of
her flirtatious friends trying te play
witli him, attracted b his grave mascu
line air of assurance mid command, but
they gave him up. She smiled us she
watched, and gradually, though she
fought it, she felt a feeling of posses
sion ; he belonged te her- The realiza
tion amused und sobered her In turn.
Then be came one evening unex
pectedly with the news that business
called him North. As she faced htm
she saw in his e.vrs a great hunger for
her that stilled eery bit of mischief in
her.
Suddenly, as he talked, he put
his arms en, Iitr shoulder, "Uduu, be bo be
fere I go, I must luive your word thnt
when I return you you will marry
inV."
"As a business preposition?" she
asked gently. -
His expression chnnged. "Den t,
please. I wan n feel. I didn't knew
then, I de new. I wnnt you want you
leve you I" ,
With a sudden strength thnt fright
ened her, he drew her te him, nnd in
bis eyes she saw the Intense lire, whlti
nnd holy, of the leve that nwekened
hearts of strength can show. "Tell me,
Rdnn, tell me I"
Sbe relaxed In his arms, a sense of
peace and content upon her. She nodded
for answer, nnd his lips, firm but
gentle, rested en hers.
When he had gene she found herself
in a bit of daze.
Her father appeared in the doorway-.
"Caleb hns just told nic, honey. Jb It
a business preposition?"
She hugged film greedily, "it is
nnd n let mere!"
President's Idea May
Involve New Issues
Centlnard from I'me One
affect the decisions of the Conference,
lint If European Issues should come
up he might, in his dramatic way, ac
complish results thnt would Improve his
standing before bis people te whom he
may be forced te go by an unfavorable
turn in the Irish conferences.
His prestige In foreign nffnirs hns
been diminished by the declaration of
Independence of the C'rcnch In then
treaty with the Turkish' Nationalists
which hns increased Ilritlsb troubles in
the Far Fust, In Mr. llrland's npparent
success In obtaining n sympathetic ni
tltude here toward the French military
policy en the Continent and In tin
French support ter the Americans
ngalnst the llritish en submarines.
Ne ene con exaggerate llritish popu
lar feeling upon submarines. The word
submarine in England is equivalent te
the word German in France, All the
war psychology of the British masses
is nreused by the mere mention of the
undersell craft.
"Jeke" Gratis en British
I heard a Hritlsli publicist nnd n
French editor discussing llrland's sug
gestien that France must have n lurgc
licet of underwater ships.
"Yeu knew I -love France, you knew
I have always been n friend of France,
but if France builds submnrlfces bhc
will army the two countries In per
petual hatred. Every Englishman will
see In your submarines a threat te
starve him."
The French editor merely laughed.
He thought M. Ilriund's epigram abuu
sardine fishing nnd studying under
water flora the best International joke
for yenrs. The English arc furious nt
tha joke.
The real joke is that France docs net
wnnt submarines te make war. She
Is here te play politics. Granted u licet
of submarines, her Independence of
England en the Continent of Europe
would be' complete. She would have a
weapon. Englnnd would net provoke
her tee far. England must bargain
with her. net attempt tbe high band.
Should Englnnd be tee lenient with
Germany, France's Interest In the
fauna and Hern at the bottom of the
seas would suddenly become Intense.
Likes te See Issue liaised
Anether pnrt of the joke is thnt
France Hkc-t te see it little issue be
tween these geed friends, the brothers
of the Anglo-Saxen nice. She likes
te tnke the American side of u question
ngalnst the llritish und submarines give
her a chance.
Mr. Lloyd Geerge's coming bodes the
opening of large questions. The White
Heuse utterances uffnrded an opportu
nity for opening of large" questions.
Mr. Hughes would like te get his own
questions settled first. That is the situation.
