BRITISH BUY MANY AUTOS IN AMERICA (By International News Service) London, April 15.—“These are critical times,” is the conclusion of a writer for the London Times who has been sent to America to investi- gate as its source the danger of an American motor-car invasion which . [will hamper the development of the . | British automobile industry. _“At the present moment the pub- lic, utterly disgusted with the. en- forced wait for cars it ordered from British factories months ago, is ready to buy anything which will convey it about its business. In many cases British cars are preferred, but the disasterous delays which have so nearly wrecked British trace have had their effect, and patriotism as well as personal inclination are be- ing sacrificed. | A “Today we will buy anythtig we|. can get at once. And here lies the ultimate test of both American and British cars.” It is the first, impression, gained from cars bought in a hurry, from whatever nation is able to deliver immediately, which will determine the future purchasing point of the automobile buyer of Britain, the Times writer concludes. So he gives warning to the British manufacturer: : “There is' no comparison between the American car of 1915 and those of 1920. A certain number havé de- iteriorated, but the great majority.of the better known makes "havé im- proved beyond all recognition. & are tast%: and more powerful on ? better désigned; far more solidly com= structed, more comfortable and enor- mously better looking. i “At a normal rate of exchange and ree of the 33 1.3 per cent duty tueir prices would make them we.l nigh ir- resistible. As it is, and with Jour own prices monstrously swollen, they may prove to be a very real danger to the British maker. N “The class of American cars which will shortly be coming to this coun- try in large numbers is immeasure- " DESERT SANDSTORM i A “SAHARA” THRILLER | It was evening on the Sahara Dees- ert and Mignon was planning to " amake the supreme sacrifice—to leave ' her husband free to accept the love of_one whom she thought he loved. Then the wind came up carrying with it a cloud of stinging sand that . obscured the setting sun. The tall date palms swayed drunkenly, tents were uprooted and adobe walls caved in. The sandstorm swept on its way for hours and the downing sun glar- ed red on the smooth, windswept sands. - The sandstorm is one of the dra- matic as well as spectacular episodes of “Sahara,” the big Hodkinson pic- ture in which J. Parker Read, Jr., presents that magnetic star, Louise Glaum, supported by Matt Moore at the Grand theatre Friday and Sat- urday. The story is from the pen of the prolific C. Gardner Sullivan and the picture, which is the most gor- geous production of the year, was su- pervised by Allan Dwan. Miss Glaum portrays the role of Mignon in a way that stamps her as one of the greatest emotional stars of the day. . “SMASHING BARRIERS” TONIGHT ONLY “The Test of Courage,” °‘‘The Plunge of Death” and the ‘‘The Hut of Tortufe”, the. first three episodes of Cyrus Townsend Brady’s thrilling serial which is in fifteen chapters, and which will be shown. in five weeks - on Thursdays only will be shown at the Grand theatre tonight.
