bad stretches of the Pacific highway

paving next summer. Traffic cut
through the gravel in a few places,
however, and the recent storm made
the road much worse. The bad places

CLIFFORD DEVEREUX DECLARES
AMERICANS HAVE NEW IDEALS
Cleaner, Better Plays Are in Demand, and Devereux Players Offer Fine
Old English Comedies Trip Is First to Coast.
BY LEONE CASS BAER.
CLIFFORD DEVEREUX of the
Devereux players believes that
America's passion for material
acquisition has developed us physical
ly at the expense of mind and spirit.
He believes further that in the war
we all of us were forced through a
period of inner cultivation of static
agonies, "and now," he continues, "we
are generating new ideals, creative
impulses, revolutionary if you choose,
but serious and sane.
"The hour of the bedroom farce is
waning," says Mr. Devereux. "Peo
ple want more than farce, or mere
animated pictures. This revolution of
tastes calls for high-class plays, acted
right and played right. The only
country where such productions are
possible today is America.
Europe Under Strain.
"Shell-shocked Europe certainly
cannot produce them,- its people are
still under a terrific strain and it of
fers no fertile field for healthy Imag

lems inspire the literature of Europe.
Conflicts of family, of sex, contrasts
of poverty and riches make up their
book material and tneir stage litera

mand will prevail.
The American public is demanding
cleaner, better plays and they will be
supplied or I miss my guess.
A final test of any country is its
art, and certainly I think that all arts
fuse and have their greatest author

before in than theater. My company

FILM MED IN COURT
C. M. HILL ACCUSED OF FAIL
ING TO OBSERVE CENSORSHIP.
Columbia Theater Exhibitor Re
plies That Permit From Board
Was Duly Obtained.
Notice to appear in the police court
this morning in answer to a complaint
sworn out yesterday by Mrs. Elmer B.
Colwell, secretary of the board of mo
tion picture censors, was served on
C. M. Hill yesterday. The complaint
alleged that Mr. Hill failed to make
the eliminations ordered by the board
in "The Thirteenth Commandment," a
film shown at the Columbia theater
from Saturday until last night.
Denial tha "The Thirteenth Com
mandment" was released without the
usual permit has been made by Mr.
Hill.
"The permit had been issued in the
customary manner and the cuts were
made exactly as .ordered." declared
Mr. Hill yesterday exhibiting the per
mit which was signed on December 17
by Mrs. 12. E. Coale. Mrs. C. W. Stose
and Mrs. A. R. Shannon.
"If Mrs. Colwell's personal signa
ture is necessary for the permit, then
I have been illegally releasing scores
of films. Very few of the permits bear
her personal signature. As a matter of
fact the three names on this permit
were all signed by Mrs. Shannon at
at the others' request.
"Cuts were made on 'The Thirteenth
Commandment' exactly as ordered
prior to its being released for ex
hibition at the Columbia. Perhaps it
is true that the cuts made did not
have the desired effect on the film,
but nevertheless they-were made ex
actly as stipulated."

DEMOCRATIC
SONS
TO DECLARE STAND
Jackson Day Banquet Excuse
for Flood of Oratory.
WILSON LETTER FEATURE
Executive's Pronouncement Await
ed Eagerly by Party Bryan
Also Looms as Storm Center.
"WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. Prospective
candidates for the democratic nom
ination for president will meet each
other and publicly declare their views
on public questions at the Jackson
day banquet, which Is to conclude
the meeting of the democratic na
tional committee here Thursday. A
dozen speakers are on the programme
and they include most of those who
have been mentioned prominently as
presidential possibilities. Besides there
will be read a message from President
Wilson, possibly touching on a third
term and on the peace treaty, and
a letter from William G. McAdoo,
former secretary of the treasury, dis
cussing sone of the issues likely to
enter into the campaign.
Interest In the banquet, particu
larly with regard to the positions to
be taken by President Wilson and
Mr.. Bryan, greatly overshadowed
among the assembling committeemen
tonight the real purpose of the meet
ing here, which is to select a .time
and place for the national convention.
Bryan's Word Awaited.
Great interest centered in the pres
ident's message of greeting and in
the pronouncements to be made by
Mr. Bryan. Characterized as "an im
portant word" by White House offi
cials, the nature of Mr. Wilson's mes
sage is being carefully guarded.
Speculation revolves about what he
may say on a third term and on the
peace treaty as a campaign issue.
Guesses about Mr. Bryan's address
touch on these same subjects. Many
of the party leaders expect him to
declare his stand on the treaty and
put himself definitely into the run
ning for the nomination.
Treaty May Go to People.
Mr. Bryan has been quoted as urg
ing that the treaty be ratified
promptly with compromise reserva
tions. There are committeemen who
believe that the president may ask
in his message that the party go
before the country on a platform for
unreserved ratification.
Of the six cities asking for the
convention, Kansas City was the first
to begin active work among the com
mitteemen, a group of boosters open
ing headquarters today. Chicago and
San Francisco are expected to fret
actively into the race tomorrow, and
Cleveland, Cincinnati and Indianapolis
also will be represented when the
selection is made Thursday. The
three last named, however, are not
expected to make extensive cam
paigns. NURSERY SITES VIEWED

modern building- for the Albertina

The board of directors of the nursery

the property on which the nursery
will be built is expected today.
On Monday night the committee
will meet in the office tf the secre
tary. Dr. Thomas W. Watts, in the
Morgan building, and select plans
from those submitted by several
architects.
At the board meeting, new directors
elected yesterday were Dr. G. H.
Douglas, president of the Rotary club;
Mrs. David Webb, C. W. Hayhurst
and Mrs. Frank E. McClure. Mrs.
R. E. Bondurant presided at the meet
ing. The nursery conducted a campaign
for funds in the fall and raised ap
proximately $40,000. The institution
cares for nameless, homeless and
abandoned babies and is under the
supervision of the Pacific Coast Res
cue and Protective society, which also
I conducts the Louise borne, where un
fortunate and friendless girls are
sheltered. W. G. McLaren is general
superintendent.
It was stated by a member of the
board that Alexander Kerr had sent
a check that would practically cover
the payment on the property and that
the fund slathered for the building
would be used for that purpose alone,

FARM LOAN LAW FOUGHT
ARGUMENTS ON ACT BEGUN IN
SUPREME COURT.
Proceedings First to Involve Valid
ity of Enactment and Con
stitute Test Case.
WASHINGTON. .Jan. . Arguments
on the constitutionality of the farm
loan act were begun today in the su
preme court and will be concluded to
morrow. The appeals resulted from
dismissal by the federal district court
of injunction proceedings brought by
a stockholder to enjoin tire Kansas
City Title & Trust company from in
vesting its funds in farm-loan bonds
issued by federal land banks and Joint
stock land banks.
The proceedings are the first in
volving the validity of the act to
reach the supreme court and in order
to make them a test case the federal
land bank of Wichita. Kan., and the
First Joint-Stock Land bank of Chi
cago were permitted by the lower
court to become parties to the suit.
Under permission of the supreme
court the government also filed a
brief in support of the act.
Constitutionality of the statute is
contested on the grounds that no au
thority existed under the federal con
stitution for its enactment or the cre
ation of land banks. that ,he issuance
of farm-loan banks was unauthorized
and that provisions exempting such
bonds from federal and state taxation
also were invalid.
