m sun Hess AT VIRGINIA. “The Slim V Princess,” Mabel «Nor mand's latest Goldwyn starring ve hicle,. centres around the figure of a Morovenian princess, who, because of her daintiness and slim, supple figure is considered uneligibie for marriage. In Moro''enia, only young ladies, whtose graceful porportions bring the scales up to three hundred pounds are considered beautiful (in the extreme)’. Therefore/ the poor, Slim princess, . (Mabel Norm and) stands very little chance of realizing the happy state of ’». matrimony. v She is hidden away, until one day, , because of an offer that her father has for the hand o’f her younger sister, a lawil fete is given in her honor, in an endeavor to find her a husband, so -that her younger 'Sister may be mar ried. -The law of Morovenia says: “No v girl dan marry, who has an older, un married sister.” ■ ' ' i For the celebration, the slim prin cess dons a rubber suit, (and has it blown up until she assumes the pro portions of her countrywomen. But, unfortunately, a piece of wicker in the chair upon which she.sat, punctured the rubber and the poor princess, ' glued to the spot, with shame and fright grew slimmer and thinner, ana her late admirers watched in startled disappointment \ The slim princess retired to a quiet corner under the wall to dwell > upon the inconvenience of ‘tier beautiful, little figure. Over the wall, came an adventurer, a young American, Pike. With straightforward, Yankee impuls iveness, he began making love to the princess, but the servants see him and chase him away. Not to be easily out done, Pike returns to ask the slim princess' father to allow her to marry him. Her father desires to know his rank, whether he has any social position, and just in what manner and way he is qualified for the hand of his daugh ter. Now Pike is a Yankee, and as Yankees are not kings, nor knights, nor anything else in that line. Pike has to do some quick thinking to find the qualifications necessary to'gain his desire. He does it!. But how? See Mabel Normand in “The Slim Princess” which comes to the Virginia Theatre, for 3 days, commencing Wed nesday, Thursday and Friday. *■ ER STEEPLECHASE PIER. ^ .

The principal locales of "Conrad in Juest of His Youth,” the new William DeMilte" production; starring Thomas Meighan, which will be shown at the Virginia- Theatre Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, were London, m English town, and Italy. This af forded an opportunity for .the con-' jtruction of-some of the most beautiful settings ever screened. The old English settings were quaint ind quite representative, and that of the early home of Capt. Conrad War rener, abou/t'whom the story revolves, was particularly striking. It was a complete Old English house with gar dens and .lawn In front, and a typical English lane running along outside the fence. The house contained a hallway and three .other rooms, and scenes were flliAeaTn each of the rooms. Later this setting was torn away dnd.on the same spot was constructed a, beautiful Italian villa, with prom enades, gardens, fountains and every thing typioal of Sunny Italy. In the cast of "Conrad in Quest of His, Youth” are Mabel Van Buren, Mayih Kelso, Bertram Johns, Marga ret Loomis, Sylvia Ashton, Kathlyn Williams, Charles Ogle, Ruth Renick and' other noted players. . All APPEAL To the Republicans of the Country * And AM Those Who Aided V " .. ' Them. , ..'.V‘V The Republican success in the 1920 ejection has been commensurate w^th the quality of our candidates ‘and the righteousness of our cause. This success ~is the partnership ac complishment of all Republicans every1 where and of hundreds of thousands of well-wishers of good government re gardless of party affiliations. To all of these we now appeal, be cause it is the mutual responsibility bf us all who will share alike In the con sequent mutual benefit of good govern ment. • • The plan of limiting campaign con tributions to $1,000, adopted by your national organization," has left your party unmortgaged. It has been a most advanced step in placing the business of politics on the highest plane, and has brought an in terest on the part of thousands who never before have been concerned with politics. Some weeks befor e"election, it was apparent that the expenses provided for in our budget, with the strictest economy, would exceed the contribu tions, but we were unwilling either to leave unddne any legitimate effort es sential to complete success or to change the method of raising money. We were then sure and we are now sure that every Republican desires that the expenses of the campaign be distribut ed in this manner. Your presidential campaign this ^ear cost no more than that of 1916, when a dollar went nearly twice as far as it does today. Pour years ago the bulk of the cam paign fund came from 760 contributors, while this year the approximately $2, 000,000 contributed to date for the presidential election has come. from 50,000 givers. The victory won, the raising of the deficit would be easy, indeed, if your committee were willing to abandon the policy of keeping down the average of contribution. This we are determined not to do. It was a fight of all the people. The result speaks for itself. It lifted a burden from the minds of millions and points the way to better and happier days. We ask now for that additional help from all which is merited both by the successful conclu sion of the effort and by the conse quent contribution to the welfare of ail of our people and the glory of the nation. : ‘ / Let us now have help 'from every American who is grateful for the vic tory and all that it means to the coun try. It might well be in the, nature of » thanksgiving offering for the return to a certainly safe, sane, constitutional progressive government. .* i Let us by general and generous giv ing put the seal of approval upon the policy of putting a national adminis tration in power free from any possi ble embarrassment of special obliga tion to any man, men or group of men. Let us make the contribution, whether large or small, and whether or not we have heretofore given, commensurate with our means and our appreciation, always within the maximum limit heretofore fixed. Let us get our names on the corner stone of a sturdier political structure, upon the roll of those who have helped make possible a campaign of which, in methods and result, we may as Repub licans and patriots be justly proud. Most earnestly we urge that this aid be given quickly, that your committee may be enabled to discharge the par ty’s obligations and turn to further instructive work in behalf of party and country.
