PARIS, Jan. 21. (/P)—'‘To the left,”
replied Joseph Cail'laux, when upon
his first visit to the Senate as a new

itated, looked about him as if per
turbed and a rush of blood to the
head reddened the Former Minis

The Senatorial seat to which he
had been shown was the identical
one in which as an accused before
the High Court, he had sat for over
a month during the famous trial in
1920.
It was explained that no offense
had been meant but by coincidence
it was the only seat that happened to
b? vacant “to the left.”

NEW LINCOLN NOVEL
MADE INTO PICTURE
When Joseph C. Lincoln wrote
'Cap’t Eri,” his most famous novel
of New England up to that time,
thousands of his readers longed for
a sight of Cape Cod and the quaint
characters who peoples his books.
Lincoln’s latest successful novel,
“Doctor Nye,” has just as colorful
a locale and just as interesting char
acters and through the efforts of
Thomas H. Ince his thousands of
readers may now see the Lincoln
characters with their own eyes.
For “Doctor Nye” has been filmed,
under the title "Idle Tongues,” and
this First National picture comes to
the Liberty Theatre tonight.
At last we can absorb, through
the medium of the screen, the do
mance and color of Cape Cod as seen
through Lincoln’s eyes. We see
“Doctor Nye,” the patient martyr
who suffered to shield anothea'; “Ka
therine Minot,” his splendid sweet
heart; “Judge Daniel Webster Cope
land,” the pompous town boss; “Cy
renus Stone,” the judge’s enemy;
“Tom Stone” and “Faith Copeland,”
hits sweetheart; “Henry Ward Beech
er Payson,” and other quaint char
acters, not to mention the'village gos
sip, “Althea Bemis.”
These characters of Lincoln’s are
true to life and their problems are
intensely interesting as we see them
on the screen. Furthermore, the set
tings are in harmony with Cape Cod.
ad the entire production carries out
the spirit of the Joseph C. Lincoln
stories of New England.
The picture is given an excellent
cast. Percy Marmont, Doris Ken
yon, Claude Gillingwater, David Tor
rence, Malcolm McGregor, Lucille
Rickson, Dan Mason, Vivia Ogden,
Margaret Clayton, Mark Hamilton
and Ruby Lafayette are included.
In a round up of rates at Notting
ham, England, 4260 were driven into
an air tight chamber and destroyed
by gas.
Mme. Jeanne Luraine of Marseilles
gave birth to five babies at one time,
but only one lived.
A good show at the Liberty tonight.

URGES CORRECT ENGLISH AS
AN ECONOMY FOR TAXPAYERS
DETROIT, Jan. 21. (/P)—Not to be
outdone by enterprising business, ed
ucation is suffering cash bonuses on
its stock in trade.
“Speak correct Eglisfa and save
yourself money,” is the appeal that
Miss Clara Beverly, supervisor of
English in Detroit schools, is hold
ing out. to the taxpayer.
“English as it is mis-spoken actu
ally costs money,” she said. “Child
ren acquire faulty English habits
from their parents in pre-school days.
The teacher then spends much of
her time, and therefore much of the
taxpayers’ money, in overcoming
those hobils.”
“All this would be unnecessary if
parents would watch their speech,”
she asserted. “Correct these English
errors and reduce taxes.”
