OFFERINGS FOR TODAY THE heathen Chinee is popular ly supposed to Ke peculiar? es pecially when it ' ponies "to a sense of, humor. During the film ing of, "The Red Lantern," starring Nazimova, now showing at the Boyd, Albert Capeltoni, the Russian actress's director, wanted a close---up. "shot" tt a wizened old China man sitting in the sun and smilingly puffing at long pipe. . ' Not a sign of a smile on the an cient oriental's face. "Tell him a couple of funny sto ries and see' if he can't smile," said the director to tKe interpreter, Jim Wong. Jim uttered something that sounded like a laundry. ticket looks. No response. Ne. intoned what ap peared to be a racy bit of gossip and gave a"persuasive chuckle. No response. Then Jim Wong emitted a few short gurgles. The face of the old man immediately brightened. His wrinkled features broke into a joy ful grin. "What did you say to him?" asked Capellani. , "He no likee funny stories," apol ogized the interpreter, "so I ask him how he likes some fungus soup!" Since the newspapers told the story of Allen Holubar's- incessant smoking (it is said the producer of "The Heart of Humanity" con sumes 25 weeds a day) he has re ceived scores of catalogues for "smokes" , from as many manufac turers. "One company wrote me that they put out a huge cigar that would take the place of 25," said Holubar at University City fevdayse ago. "It was touted as being nine inches long and two inches in diameter 'all for the price of five ordinary eights.' But I don't think I'll ac cept, for it would cost me $5 a day for a man to tote the cigar around for me." .

LABOR JIN IONS DISCUSS TERMS TO END STRIKE Deadlock in Winnipeg Situa tion Continues Into Fifth Night; Must Discontinue Use of Cards. Winnipeg, Man., May 20. Im portant developments bearing upon" the general strike situation in Win nipeg came to the surface in rapid succession' today. Although the deadlock between labor and in dustrial . employers will enter into its fifth night without a decision, there were many signs that the marking time period was 'Vapidly coming to an end. ' The leading strike development came in the form of conferences between union delegations and Premier Norris and other officials regarding the officially announced willingness of the union men to dis cuss settlement of the strike on the basis of general union recognition and reinstatement of all idle mem bers, who were employed prior to the general strike. x Mayor Gray told the council that a combination of circumstances had been responsible for a mistaken im pression throughout Winnipeg re garding the city's attitude toward the union1 forces. The mayor said that wtieiy the general strike was de clared, he gave the central strike committee to understand that law and order must be maintained and that no suffering from lack of food should take place. The result was, Mayor Gray stated, that cards were prepared for union drivers of bread and milk wagons and the movement of these commodities' was approved by the union men. The drivers tacked the cards to their wagons and auto mobiles, instead of keeping them for presentation if the vehicles were stopped. Mayor Gray told the council this afternoon that the central strike committee should be notified that public display of such cards must be- stopped immediately and that if the order was not complied with that the city would use "every avail able" means to have foodstuffs de livered. Various reports that Dominion soldiers mobilized here would be ordered to patrol the city kept large crowds moving through the down town districts. Late in the afternoon when automobiles, speeded along the main streets with soldiers arriving from France, a report quickly spiead that martial law had bee"h declared. Tlje incident was soon understood, however. Naval Officer Here for Conference With Insurance Ensign Ensign Royal A. Roberts, pay corps.

' ( , , WRITE FOR FREE BOOKLETS that tell where to go, what I anBBnMSBBVs Cheerfully Answered ) AT THE TJH ENTERS It A MARRIAGE OF CON A VENIENCE" will bring Henry Miller and Ruth Chatterton together as co-stars at the Brandeis theater Monday and Tuesday, June 2 and 3, with a spe cial matinee Tuesday, and will af ford local theater-goers the oppor tunity of seeing the play that made such a marked hit in New York. A score of years ago, this delightful comedy, by the elder Dumas adapted by Sydney Grundyi had its first presentation in thisountry. Newly revived under the artistic guidance of Henry Miller, with its elaborate costuming and grand manners of the period of Louis XV, "A" Marriage of; Convenience" has proyed a delight. The original production from Henry Miller's theater in New York, in its entirety will be used. Mr. Miller will be seen as the Comte de Candale and Miss Chatjerton as thel Comtesse de Candale. - Lavishly produced, with clever principles and a sorieAtlv chorus, "The Four Husbands," a musical comedy in one act, is the stellar of fering this week at the OrDheum. The amusing antics of William Da- marest, With his careless cello, are the. laugliing hit of the current bill! Martha Hamilton is cadablv assisted in the one-atft farce, "Oh, You Wo men." Hilarious situations are the dominant feature of this offering. The skit billed as "The Violinist and the Boob" - achieves popularity as presented by Black and O'Donnell. The comedy chatter and songs of Broifsori and Baldwin are eauallv effective. ' f Herbert Lloyd, commanding a sense for nonsense that reaches the heights of the ludicrous, will present his vaudeville revue, at the Empress for the last times today. He opens the number with a burlesque mov ing picture painted especially for each town on bed sheets pullled across the stage on a wire showing comedy views of points of interest of the local city. Following in rapid succession are burlesque imitations of vaudeville acts that bring screams of laughter. The Amateur Adven turess , a. breezy comedy drama in five acts, gives Emmy Wehlen, a role of unusual originality and charm. Engineer to -Tell Kiwanis Club How to Get River Drive At the regular weekly luncheon of the Kiwanis club, in the south room of the Chamber of Commerce, on Friday noon, Harland Bartholo mew will discuss "How to Get the River Drive."

I xm smsm wmms -v LEAGUE WILL BE RATIFIED SAYS SEN, HITCHCOCK Nebraska Senator, Spokes man for Administration, Replies to Statement Is- ' sued by Senator Lodge. s Washington; May 20. Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska predicted in a statement today that, the, senate would ratify the covenant ofthe league of nations and that the neces sary majority vote to amend ,it or separate it from the peace treaty would not be obtained. - "The supporters of the peace trea ty in the senate are confronted by divided forces." said Senator Hitch cock. "First, there are those who would like to eliminate that article of the treaty which establishes the leaguef nations. Second, there are those who profess to sjipport the league of nations, but insist on amending some of the provisions to meet their own particular views. "Either of these plans to. succeed must haye the shp'port of a majority of the senate. In other words, the opponents of ratification can beat the treaty by securing one-third of the votes of the senate to reject the treaty, but in order to amend it they must secure a majority of the votes of the senate. "It would require a majority of votes, of course, to strike out the league of nations article just as it would require a majority to change any part of Jthe league of nations. It must be evident to everybody that while the senate can amend the treaty, such amended treaty could not possibly go into effect until all of the nations part to the treaty accepted the amendment. If one re fused to accept it that would pro duce a deadlock and make peace impossible. For all to accept any senate amendments, even if it were possible, would "require a long pe riod of time and that would greatly delay the advent or peace. 1 can not conceive that a majority of sen ators will be able to unite on a pro gram which would produce either ot these enormous evils. 300 Allied Casualties In Fighting at Smyrna Paris, 'May 20.
