The scenes are laid in the big city and the small town; the latter ones appear when Rosalie Ray becomes utterly discouraged and disillusioned and flees for refuge far from the city. The title of the picture comes from her vaudeville act in which she swings far out over the audience and each night kicks one of her lovely garters into the crowd. Rosalie, in spite of the disgust she feels for men of the city, believes those wohm she will find in the country will be different. She dis covers they are alike and she re turns to her work in the city. The story is by O. Henry. Marshall Neilan discovered Wes ley Barry, the beJlboy of "Don't Ever Marry,'' fighting with some beys on the streets of Los Angeles," and immediately took him in tow. The youngster, just 12 years . old, is to be starred alone soon. He has made several trips lately with the Neilan outfit and each time he takes with him his faithful cat and dog companions, Maria and Hercules. fly WJ&JJ Downtown Program.

Candidates Now in Command at Chicago (Ceotimwd Tram First rr" ) the Procter of the Hitchcock lead ership. It was stated at Wood headquar ters that the tentative program for the making of the. nominating and seconding speeches has been com pleted, including Governor Allen of Kansas as the man who will place General Wood in nomination, a sec onding speech by former Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson of New York and seconding speeches by spokesmen from half a dozen states. This plan, of necessity, may be changed by any regulation that the committee on rules will make lim iting the number of speeches and time schedule of the convention or atory. Wood Sentiment Crows. Governor Lowden has not desig nated the maker of his nominating speech and it was indicated tonight that this will not be determined until late this week. The Harding and Johnson nominators have not been named. Out of all of the corridor gossip and headquarters claims, ' there seemed to be -nothing definite that indicates that any candidate has any particular edge for nomination over any other. It was increasingly ev ident that a thoroughly prepared movement has been started to tine up wavering delegations that are un instructed and unpledged for the Il linois governor. ! The arrival of General Wood started a trend of sentiment toward him in the late evening that could be clearly felt and the spirit exhib ited by the Wood forces indicated strongly that they are just moving forward for the real attack preced ing the decisive convention test. Hoover Headquarters Elaborate. The Hoover campaign organiza tion moved into the entire ninth floor of the Congress hotel and opened up the most elaborate con vention headquarters of any of the candidates. .

King of Connecticut was turned over today by Mr. King to A. K. Cassell of Philadelphia, who sat for Senator Penrose all through to day's session of the national com mittee. Start Hearing Contests. Mr. King, as the national commit teeman from Connecticut was con spicuous today in the national com mittee hearings on contested seats, j His attitude has been such, inside i leaders indicated, as to forecast the 'impossibility of any reconciliation i between himself and the Wood j camp. The national committee began the task of making up the temporary roll of the convention today. The "Lily White" delegation from Ar kansas, the majority of whose members are claimed by Governor Lowden's friends, were seated. In the Alabama contest the contestant did not appear and the regular dele gate was seated. He is uninstructed. Three Factions In Florida. The rest of the day was apent in hearing the troubles of the Florida republicans. Three factions ap peared and the situation was so snarled by legal and technical ques tions that a subcommittee was ap pointed to spend the night in mak ing up a report for the committee tomorrow morning. It appears probable that the dele gation friendly to General Wood, the regular "Black and Tan" faction will win, but there is a possibility of a compromise or split delegation being seated, representing all three factions. The committee will debate this today and then will proceed to taken up the case of the District of Columbia. Meetings Arc Open. The delegates seated by the com mittee today were: ALABAMA. J. B. Atkinson of Clanton. W. H. Mixon, contesting, did not appear. Committeeman Oliver D. Street told the committee the con test was made "out of whole doth.' ARKANSAS. At laree: H. L. Remmell. John I. Worthington, Charles N. Rix. A. J. Russell, E. M. Rowe, J. H. Butler, D. F. Taylor, Andrew I. Roland. These are all white men and have one-half vote each. The unsuccess tul contestants were headed by E. C. Morris, a negro, of Helena. First district C T. Bloodworth of Corning. W. L. Portfy was the contestant Fifth district A. C. Remmell of( Little Rock. George E. Owen ot Conway. There were three contest ants. On the question of seating extra delegates from states which ignored the official call, such as Arkansas and Ihnois, the committee postponed action. Some way will be found to seat all, of the delegates, but the extra alternates will have to find roosts far in the .rear of the Coli seum. ' The sessions of . the comittee were thrown wide open". Even in "execu tive sessions" the newspaper men were permitted to be present Motor trucks will be employed by the United States forest service in national forests for the transporta tion of materials and men to fires. By President Wilson (Cantlouos From First T ) praises the president and his ad ministration to the skies, aad echoes Mr. Wilson s roost trenchant utter aaces in defense of the league of nations covenant without reserva tions and denunciation of the repub lican reservationists and irrecoocil- abies. The league of rations and other important planks of the platform the president desires adopted are being prepared by Mr. Wilson himself and will be lorwarded to San Francisco. A wet plank will not be among them and Mr. Wilson desires none adopt ed. Mr. Cumraings said that the platform the president wants is es sentially the platform adopted by the Virginia democratic convention, which the national chairman believes renects the attitude of the party overwhelmingly. Favor Virginia Platform. jThe Virginia platform was silent on the liquor issue and included the lollowing planks: Advocated ratification of the peace treaty witn its league of .nations covenant without reservations which would impair its essential in tegrity." Condemn "an indiscriminate bonus to enlisted men" of the army anu navy as a smirch on true patriotism and an unjust financial burden on people. ' Condemns the republican congress for failing- to accept the president's advice to revise the tax laws by re pealing war taxation and readjusting the revenue5 act to a peace basis. Accuses the republicans of failure to aid the farmer, of advancing meas ures to cripple the agricultural in terests. "Love Feast" Not Expected. "Devices tor determining "labor disputes should be contrived so as to prevent strikes and lockouts. Mr. Cummings said that he did not anticipate a "lo-e feast" in San Francisco, but he expects the presi dent to control and that Bryan will be disposed of effectually when ht endeavors to commit the party to the ASPIRIN league of nations reservations or adoption of a dry plank. The presidency has a definite plan of procedure regarding further ef forts to procure ratification of the treaty, but Mr., Cummings said it would be improper for him to dis close it Kobbed by Pickpocket. While on his way to the Forest Lawn cemetery Sunday afternoon, W. Fitch, driver for the Afamiu. Dairy, Twenty-sixth and Leaven worth streets, was relieved by pick pockets of a pocketbook containing $47. Fitch did not notice his loss until after he arrived at the ceme tery.
