Sijinora Gonzales, "Cleopatra," in film that is in La Grande today.
This afternoon as trie Arcade The
ater, "Antony and Cleopatra" was
produced. It is a great picture.
Wonderful in fact. One of the great
est known to the film world. v
Seeing this marvelous production,
must surrender in 10 minutels or wo
will attack!" said the envoy.
When Russell, over the field, wire
less, flashed the news of the Incident
across the bleak" sandhils, to Gen.
Funston's headquarters in Vera Cruz,
tflere really was something doing
But it was among the ' correspond
ents and. not among the officers and
soldiers. In the first place none of
the 250 of us had army passes, but
only tickets which the navy had giv
en us. We had to have army passas.
We rushed up to headquarters in
street cars, coaches, on foot; we be
seiged the building in which Funston
has his headquarters. They wouldn't
let us in. General Funston was busy,
they Baid, getting reinforcements out
to the water works.
"Reinforcements!" said an indig
nant war correspondent "That's all
right but What about us?" ,
"There won't he any battle for
I you fellows to see, if we don't get
somebody out to the waterworks to
, fight," said a lieutenant. "We have
to get reinforcements out there first,
and that's what the general is busy
about." .
Battle Rumor Starts Rush.
I Finally, it was arranged that a
young lieutenant named William Bell
should sign our passes, permitting us
to go to the scene. But we couldn't
go into the building; we must line up
on the sidewalk .before a door-like
, window which opened into the room
where Lieutenant Bell sat. We were
dead willing. It was our fault any-
. how, because we hadn't arranged for
our passes earlier. We stood in line
Vi like people at a theatre box office. As
i soon as a man got his pass, no started
for "the front." "Starting for the
front" consisting in finding something
to ride on or in. One young corre
spondent dashed into the middle of
the street, dragged a Mexican peon
from a burro, bought the bur

It is enacted in the place the stirring

that "the movies" have made greater : Rome, in its ancient glory, is pic
