NEW YOF- C. May 2S>.—The small

of all—New York—gees down to sec
the beat pull cut.
Yes. New York’s latest problem is
what to do with the crowds throng
ing steamship pier* on sailing days
Or nights—for many steamers no
sail at midnight.
Largest turnouts seem to favor
, the American liner Lev'.than, espe
cially since she s wet on westbound j
voyages «toward New Yorki. Liter
ally thousands stream through lux
urious public rooms and corridors
of the vessel—and nearly everybody
desires to see the bar.

l and still to come, but certain to
draw a capacity—the new Bremen
and Eurooa.
Seme l.nes have taken steps to
keep visitors off the boats. But
that doesn't meet with general favor
among the steamship companies.
Alter all. they have something to
sell, and folk going through a boot
usually get the "fever.” thus becom
ing potential passengers.
This Jostling crowd seeing a
steamer off—sometimes as many as
7 300 on a 1 000-foot pier—Is one of
the newer sights of New York.
But the steamship interiors, gang
planks and piers are sadly in need
of traffic police Yet. it's a holi
day crowd going to a free show,
probably the only free show in the
most expensive show town in the
world.

Madam Chairman and Friends':
On behalf of the visiting ladies
to the Suite Medical Auxiliary it
gives me great pleasure to voice our
jleelmg of appreciation for the very
genuine welcome we have received
both by appropriate words of Mrs.
Monger and by the royal manner in
which we have been treated smce
-the first moment we stepped from
the tram. Your thoughtfulness and
careful consideration of us in ev
ery minute detail of your plans has
already made us happy and delight
ed. and we are anticipating an equal
pleasure in the remainder of the
proeran. We are so glad to be here.
We’ve been to meetings by the great
sea-wall.
To the crowded place with its build
ings tall.
To the smaller town in the eastern
sand.
To the far, far west in the cowboy
land.
But now in Brownsville, the south

Where we look into Mexico and its
problems face.
Where we feel in the breece a touch

The great old Culf and its call.

In every village and every town
All through the Valley, that marvel

That must have been touched by a
magic hand.
A place that once not so verv long

Before the days it was irrigated.
But now like a rose in the morning

She’s a thing cf beauty, this Valley
fair.
With her fruits and naims and

Th* fact is it s our conclusion
This magic Valley is no delusion.

Few screen stars have enjoved
the popularity of Douglas Fair

at Ion« list of excellent films
in which he has appeared, the rea
son for this genuine popularity is
easily understood. Like Charlie
Chaclm. the particular art of Pay

finable something that Fairbanks
catches tn every photoplay That
something might be defined as ro

Mary Brian are co-featured in the
1 all-tailing picture. “The Man X

Both Mary Brian and Richard
Arlen have given promise of great
things la the past but. in “The Man
I Love," they realize a glorious ful- 1
fillment. The story, dealing with
the love affair of a boy and girl
i who go to New York in answer to
an ambitious urge and find only
disappointment, is filled with the
adventure in which youth revels.
Arlen as the boy lover is great and.
as the young man fi!led with the
pride of achievement. he is superb.
A shining thread of humor, sup
plied by Harry Green and Jack

on a melodramatic background in
which the plot moves breezily for
