In keeping with the progressive
policy of this theatre, Managers
Meyers and Lciter of the Arcad have
secured George M. Cohan's first pho-
j toplay, to be released by Arteraft Pic
i tures, "Broadway Jones," which will
be shown at that papular playhouse
next Monday and Tuesday.
Ever since the early days or the
motion picture, George M. Cohan has
been approached by various big mo
tion picture interests with flattering
offers but it was not until a few
months ago that ha finally decided to
branch out into this field. At the
head of his own company he com
menced activities in the motion pic
ture art with the same enthusiasm
and energy that has marked his great
success in theatricals. Selecting
"Broadway Jones," conceded to be
his biggest stage hit and which was
written and produced by himself, he
makes his bow as a screen star and
that the film version of this play will
even score a greater success than the
original play is freely predicted.
"It was not because I have under
estimated the potency of the motion
picture nor its great popularity and
the fact that it has come to stay and
exert a great influence on the life of
the people that kept me from the cam
era heretofore," said the popular actor-author-producer
recently in con
nection with his tardy decision in be
coming connected with the motion pic
ture field. "I have teen so very busy
with my theatrical affairs that I never
felt I had the time to devote to it
which I knew was quite necessary in
order to make the big success it de
mands. Now that I am in the game,
1 1 am giving it my very best efforts,
having studied it from every angle."
I Few American writers for the stage
have caught the real spirit of what
the people want better than Mr. Cohan
and "Broadway Jones" is particularly
a happy choice as his initial screen
vehicle. The subject gives him an op
portunity to shine in the very kind of
thing he can do 'better, perhaps, than
anyone else of today, namely to pre
sent a swiftly moving, interesting and
dramatic story about a topic um
versally Known. Knowing his own
talents better than any other, he has
given himself a vehicle in Broadway
Jones," which allows his characteris
tic touches, so well known throughout
the country, ample play.

Indiana Woman Is Looking
After The Soldiers In London
BY J. W. PEGLER
(United Press Staff Corresponds)
London, March 20. (By Mail)
With a bituminous grunt the blunt
nosed engine of the "leave train"
jerks to a full stop in King's Cross
station. Compartment doors fly op
en all down the length of the coaches.
Tin hats clatter against rifle butts,
tin drinking cups jangle on bayonets
and steel studded hoots make a thund-
i emus sound on the pavement. But,
frankly, Tommy is lost.
The ferocious fighting man from
the Ancre, Salonica the Mesopotamia
is a bewildered boy during his stop
over in 1ondoti on his way home on
leave. i
And that is why Mrs. Ruby S. Grant j
is standing at the head of the plat- j
form, with the'smilo that camo from
Frankfort, Indiana. Bundled in a j
nil- coat, vitn a p.-.rioct Knowledge 01 i
train times at tho tip of her tongue
am! a railroad guide on her arm to
convince the doubtful, she is there in
good weather and bad to tell these
kids from the trenches where to go
and how to get there.
The brown swarm of men come
pounding up tho platform, looking for .
signs. A dozen or so are clustered
around a sergeant asking advice, but
he is an ex-farmer and does not know !
any more alniiit London than the j
Welsh miner beside him. Mrs. Gaunt j
pushes through the crowd to get at j
the sergeant like a football player go- ;
ii i; for the ball. '
"Now, sergeant," this in a business-
liko voice, tempered by that smile,
where are these boys going? ' Ser
geant salutes and replies: "Oh, every
where, Miss Captain."
"Well, get them in groups going the
same way, to simplify matters." The
sergeant complies. A dozen want to
go to Leeds, others to unpronounce
able Welsh towns, ton to Lincoln and
others are scattered in their prefer
ences." Take the Leeds men for instance.
Mrs. Gaunt says: "Your train goes
at 4:20. It's two o'clock now. Here's
what you'd better do. Go over to
the Lord Roberts canteen and stow
your rifles and kits. Have lunch
there. Then you may stay in the
reading room, play the phonograph
or sing ,or you may go out to a pic
ture show one round the corner. But
lie back here at five minutes to train
! time ut track four."
Every man of them salutes exactly
as he would his commanding officer
and they go off saying: "Thank you,
Maw ', or "Mother, you're kind."
A Canadian boy with his face fond
ly shot away seemed mixed up in his
directions.
"Where are you bound for, Machine-Gun
?" asked the infallible guide
from Indiana, catching hold of his la
pels. "Nowhere." said the boy through the
bondages of his shattered jaw, "J List j
wandering around." His eves nar- '
Hot Lake, Ore., April 11. (Spe
cial) In keeping with his oft ex
pressed intention of having every
thing of the best obtainable in connec
tion with the sanatorium in every
manner, Dr. Phy lias engaged A. L.
Meader as chef and a kitchen staff of

cook and kitchen staff previously em
ployed at the Lake. Mr. Meader was

Northern Pacific running from Seattle

S. Bean for the position of expert
dietician. She will supervise all foods
specially ordered for patients under
Dr. Phy's prescribing.
Oliver Dasch, accompanied by his
wife has arrived. He was formerly

ministration and has been engaged
to fill that position when E. W. Well
ington loaves ihe sanatorium at the
end of this month.

ployed as bookkeeper here for nearly
