Hippodrome stage. The broad expanse

The sixth episode of tho Liberty
series, "The Desert of Lost Stalls," Is
A : at the Princess today, featuring Marie
Walcamp nnd Jack Holt. This series
. has proven itself a strong drawing
" card and tho interest created in the
first chapter seems to lie gaining in
A attractive power as there is a constantly
increasing a I tends nee nt this

chapters to the complete set and each
episode is so arranged that it is not

get the full enjoyment. Mr. Prince
stated yesterday that he regards tho

5-. . Douglas Fairbanks, who conies to
K- . the Dixie Thursday in "Manhattan
ggkVj Madness," was introduced to Mary
jA Miles Minter recently and the twain
,, immediately established a sort of Mu5fr.

A - testified that Douglass was her greatest
film favorite, and "Doug ' responded
with a similar compliment. Ott
comparing notes, however, the sad
thruth came out?that neither one had
pSi seen the other perform on the screen.
' The lady laughed merrily over the
\ embarrassing coincidence, hut the galiant
Fairbanks was completely taken

A The story of "The Senator." which

presentation of official and social life

' i with Charles J. Ross in the star part
: ' 1 of'Senator Rivers, tlte character made
r " famous on the legitimate stage by Willi
liam H. Crane. The pictured story
, far exceeds the stage version in roai,
Ism and strength, and Is full of strik:
; Ing situations and beautiful as well as
? stirring scenes. Intrigue, ambition.
love, revenge, romance and the hidden
but none the less powerful motive s
:;7. ? which move the currents of life in
the Nation's capital, are interwoven
In a screen drama in which the appeal
to the heart's emotions is as potent
, as the desire to see justice triumphant
, and the manoeuvering of scheming
' , plotters frustrated.

amorous eyes upon Helen and entreat,
ed her to become Ills squaw. The of,

' ; that Crazy Moon is not quite so top

the great plant at Huntington, which;
is both the metropolis of West Virgin

and that city will begin to orcpnrc at j
once to receive the visting hoard J1

to make a favorable impression with

Congressman Cooper, whose district
Huntington was before the recent redistricting
of the state, will join
Woodyard in making a fight to get
the big government plant located at
Huntington. Cliarlestion will have
the bricking of Senator Chilton and

Moss voting, was never more than

some of the members of lite delegation
were known 10 be half-heartodlv
in favor of giving the suffragists
a rhanre by the constitutional
amendment route, but since the voters
in West Virginia have so recently
and so overwhelmingly voted in
opposition to votes tor women, they1

The only West Virginians present
at the second and final Gridiron dinner
of the year were Senator-elect
Howard Sutherland and William P.
Wilson, of Wheeling. It is the first
time that the former has attended one
of these dinners since coming to Congress
and to say he enjoyed it is stating
the fact mildly. To receive an
invitation to a Gridiron dinner is on a
par with receiving an invitation to
dine with the President at the White
House. Meaning no disrespect, but
just a matter of personal predilection,
there are many people who would
trade off a White House meal for a
Gridiron dinner and throw in a bonus
lu close the deal.
