One of tho beat pictures which has
lieen flashed upon tho screen of any
.if tho moving plcturo theatres in
Anlmore was shown at tha Palace
Wednesday and Thursday evenings
under the caption "Malo and I'V-
mute." While it was palpably evident that
the title of the play was in a de-
gree niisleiidlng perhaps made so
iu'entlonnlly in order that curiosity
seikers might be attracted and help
well tho nudleneo and increase the
"gsite receipts" at the same time
ihe picture was an exceptionally good
one well worth the money which car-
ried with it that something which so
many things produced upon the mimic
world lack a moral following a well-
outlined plot.
Primarily the play's plot carried
Mit an elucidation cf the fact thnt
the attraction of the sexes to each
other engenders at all times that
feeling which s'lrs the human heart
to its most emotional center and to
the elimination of eommon sense per-
mits the emotion known as "love"
to reign over tho species male nnd
the species female .
With renditions reversed and the
power fif money eliminated it was
shown that wrh nil ni-n and wemen
upon cqur.l footing social caste cusps
to be a distinction and the erstwhile
plehlan butler may love the lady born
to a little reared in the lap of
luxury and cultured undrr the most
pleasing Boclal conditions while she
in turn censes to be tho child of
fortune and loves her primordial lord
even as the Christian slave loved the
King of Babylon in the days when
Hie world was young.
i rndarlly. the plot brought out
it- t the yoking of those of different
walks in life of different ideas and
ill? U rent thought developments should
le classed with the Impossible that
the lion could not mate with the
liitnb nor tho hawk with the dove.
The management of the Fulnco Is
to be congratulated upon having
f.rodueod so high a grade picture
while ihe amusement-loving public of
Ardmnre ulso merits a word of com-
mendation over the manner In which
they turn out to see the really good
and wholesome In life's drama be the
play produced by leal actors or
simply reproductions flashed upon thu
pictured screen.

Oklahoma City. Okla. Dec. IS. A j

When the first American Relief Ad-
ministration food drafts were received
in Vienna they had to be explained as
this official is explaining oue here but
now the receipt of hundreds of them
has proved they are not "too good to be
true" and the Austrians write popular
longs about them. Food drafts are
more welcome than money in Austria
is they bring the things money cannot
buy supplies of flour beans bacon
milk lard corned beef cottonseed oil
and sugar and cocoa standard-sized
packages of staple foodstuffs that keep
many a family from starvation. Austria
cannot produce enough food for her
population and what food there is sells
for fabulous sums. The cost of living
has gone up 155 ttmci the pre-war
tcale in Austria.
Friends and relatives of European
filjes in need can buv American Re
lief Administration Food Drafts pay
able in Austria Hungary. Poland and
Czecho-Slovakia at 4458 banks in the
United States. They are issued in $10
and $50 amounts. A draft should be
mailed to the person in whose favor!
it is drawn. On receipt of it he pre-:
sents it at the American Relief Ad!
ministration warehouse where it is
cashed for him in food. The Food
Draft plan is Mr. Hoover! instituted
by him in an effort to help adults in
the hunger countries of Europe with
the greatest economy of money and
food. The boys and girls of these na-
tions he is looking after through the
American Relief Administration Eu-
ropean Children's Fund of which he ii
chairman. Through the generosity of(
the American people the Fund hopes
to save from starvation the two and a
half million children who depend on
it for life.
SWEETHEART SHOWS
AT PRINCESS THEATRE
THROUGHOUT THE WEEK
No lover of fun dance and music
should miss tho Sweetheart Show
which comes to .the Princess this week
Their music is tho most stimulating
in years. The principal cities where
they have appeared havo grown en-
raptured over fhefr delightful melo-
dies while their excoptiohul have tick-
led the big towns foolish. The Sweet-
heart Show Is coming with a typical
Knsley Barbour cast and production
each wearing a tasteful scenic display
and a dazzling array of brilliant cos-
tumes and wtth a cast that can act
as welt as sing. In fact each mem.
ber oX the cast has to act for each
comedy has a consistent plot and the
music can only be sung by those who
have .trained their voices long and
carefully. Heading the cast is lone
O'Donnell musical comedy's most ac-
complished violinist a charming young
lady with a striking appearance who
has Just recently closed a tour of the
Pantages and Orpheum vaudeville cir-
cuits. M'ss O'Donnell Is supported by
a cast and chorus which is away
above the average.
BRYANT WASHBURN
"REGULAR FELLOW"
A
MATTER HOW PAINFUL
Every director and tar and most
of the leading players at tho Laslcy
motion plouro studio havo coa.ri in
which to sit between scenes except
Bryant Washburn. Each of these
chairs is marked with the name of
the owner and also sentiments like
"Private ' or "Keep Out" or some-
thing similar. During tho filming o.'
"Too Much Johnson" the evmedy
picture tnat is entertaining crowa at
.he Fnhiet theatre Mr. Washburn de-
cided to acquire a chair.
Being an all-round "good Scout-
and having been without a chair for
so long the star decided not to be
stlntty about It when it did conn and
had tho following legend "painted oi:
't: Rryant Washburn's Public Ev-
erybody Welcome."
On the morning that his new pos-
sesion arrived Mr. Washburn breez-
ed into tlio studio gave .tho chair a
paternal look and sat down. A few
m'nutes later ho arose for n scene.
IOls Wilson his leading woman spy-
ing the chair and tho Invitation found
It a fine res'ing place and remained
r.n hour whilo Mr. Washburn fin-
ished with tho scene paced on the
fl.ior. When she departed it was only
a frw minutes before tho tar was
summoned al. . When ho returned
a".i-lier actress was occupy'ng the
chair and Bryant gallantly requested
her to utay. Sh did for an hour.
T!:c t i.Nt time he star was at" ease
thu occuimii. was Donald Crisp the
director who was reading 'script and
didn't even see him. And the next
I
time it was Kittle the colored hair-
dresser. So it went tho whole day. Mr.
Wiuhburn didn't get angry Jus. a
httle puzzled. Finally he solved tho
lilff.culty. Lacking the heart to put
ono of those "Keep Off" signs o;i his
c'.a.i he discarded it altogether. So
he is again "chairless" and happy.
