WM. DESMOND IN TRIANGLE-KAY BEE PLAY "THE ICED BULLET."
SHERRY'S SUNDAY AND MONDAY
Director Calls "Extravagance" Great
Play.
Burton L. King, the famous motion
nictuTe expert, now working exclu
sively on Metro-Popular plays and
'players productions, calls "Extrava
IminAs" with Mme. Petrova as the
star, which will be seen at the Sherry
theater here on Sunday and Monday
one of the really novel photoplays of
the season.
"Mme. Petrova has thrown all of
her wonderful dramatic power into
this production," ho said. "The re
sult is that the camera has recorded
something seldom seen in motion pic
tures a woman's soul telling a great
truth. I have worked with Mme. Pe
trova on manv of her productions. I
have admired he r great dramatic tal
ent. But while watching her in "Ex
travagance" I was astounded. Were
it possible to reproduce her spoken
lines with the picturization, the effect
could be no more powerful than it is."
. A statement like this from Mr. King
means much, for he is known as a
director -who rarely expresses his
opinion of productions. He began his
motion picture career four years ago
as director for Thomas H. Ince and
was the first to produce a three-reel
feature, which, in those days, was con
sidered a remarkable performance.
After being with the Vitagraph, Selig
and Universal companies he joined the
Metro forces. ' He considers that his
greatest work has been done with
Mme. Petrova. One of his records
with her is the making of trree-five
reel pictures in eight weeks.

i nario writer seeking to place this play

successful, and the theme of his story
takes place only in a dream which
come to him in an unguarded office
after he has been buffeted about the
studios. Their earlier portion of the
play renders possible the showing of
both exteriors and interiors of the
great Thomas H. Jncc plant at Culver
City, which are said to be .extremely
interesting.

Tokio, Feb. 1. (United Press by
Mail.) 'Because the Japanese bankers
have made the unusual demand that
they be given security, Japan may
have to refuse the Tequest of her ally,
Russia, for a new loan of $100,000,000.
Should Japan make this loon, it would
be the largest ever floated in this
country.
Russia proposed the issue to the
Japanese government, which acquaint
ed the bankers with Russia's over
tures. As Russia intended spending
the money for munitions and other
products purchased in this country,
the propostion met with the approval
of the government.
Japan has the money to make the
loan and its success seemed assured
until the Tokio bankers made their de
mand for security. Jn view of hor po
sition as a first class power and a
friend bound in alliance with Japan,
UAkssia (believes Such Jrafrantee un
necessary and beneath her dignity.
Japanese financiers take the attitude,
however, that considering the large
amounts Russia has already borrowed
here and the magnitude of her latest
proposal, some form of security should
be offered.

England Sends Call For The
Mobilization of 20,000 Women
BY FRANK GETTY
(United Proas Staff Correspondent)
London, Feb. 10. (By Mail) Eng
land wants 20,000 mure women for her
second lino of advance- the munition
fnrtorifts.
The first appeal, sent out by tho
ministry of munitions early this month
which called for 8000 women, wna im
mediately met. Today, in making a
big spurt for the i.st phase that will
carry the men n :ho front into vic
tory" the i ii' y nU 20,000 more.
"Wo want rich and ; or alike for this
final effiv.' ar official nt the minis
try v f minions told ho United Press.
"I . t;.c oarly days uf the war women
With nv;ti w.-o asked to stand on
one side to le; working and profes
sional women who had to earn their
livings give service. Now wo want
nil classes to come forward and help
in tho making of munitions, so th.it
every woman can say n the near fu
ture that alio has don Iht share."
"W- have found that physical qual
ities are no longer necessary for the
W:-k. As long as tho volunteer has
delicacy of touch she Iwlongs to the
right type.
"Women are at work now in all the
danger zones and through their hands
entirely munitions go from raw ingot
to the finished article. They do the
testing, overlooking, packing, sealing,
lorrying, and actually place tho goods
in railway trucks for the front."

,SHAPE OF ENGLISH BULLET
AFFECTS ALUMINUM MARKET
A peculiar circumstance In the
manufacture of English rifle bullets
is said to be responsible, in part at
least, for the increased price of alum
inum. Shortly after the outbreak of
the war England gave up ranking
round-nosed bullets and produced, in
stead, a pointed variety with a solid
lead point inclosed in a cupro-niekel
jacket. Some time Inter it was dis
covered that these missiles were not
properly balanced for tho English type
of gun. After many tests the diffi
culty was overcome by inserting a lit
tle aluminum cone, 3-8 in. high, in the
apex of the cartridge jacket. While
the weight of a single cone is. of
course, i !me t negligible the total
amount oi aluminum runs into thous
ands of pounds. From the March

WILSON'S MEXICAN POLICY
MAKES SOUTH AMERICANS
FRIENDLY TOWARD U. S.
BY CHAS. P. STEWART
(United Press Staff Correspondent.)
Buenos Aires. Feb. 3. (By Mail)
Recent news dispatcher from the
United States indicating that Presi
dent Wilson's forebearinc noliev to
ward Mexico was r.dopted to some
extent in deference to South Amer
ican public opinion have created an
excellent impression in the southern
republics.
For the first time since the Mexican
situation became acute the admission
is being made here that the United
States government has 'been very pa
tient under severe provocation.
Whether this view would still bo held
in the event of fresh throats of in
tervention in Mexico is doubtful. It
us a distinct chanee. however, from
the hitherto generally expressed opin
ion mat iNortn American mistakes and
leliberatc mischief-making were re
sponsible for all tho Mexican troubles
of the past few years.
That their wishes would be taken
into account by tho Washington ad
ministration, to tell the truth, was
more than South Americans expected.
From all appearances the Dresiifont'a
attitude has done more to develop a
iriemuy leelmg on the southern con
tinent toward the United States than
anything in a generation.
