Quickly Denies It Favors International Rule of Nation. By the Assoclated Pres PEKING. August 22.—Evidence supporting rumors that the interna- tionalization of China is being con- templated by the powers is to be seen, asserts the Yi Shih-Pao, a non- partisan newspaper of this city, in the American reply to Japan's effort to obtain an outline of the agenda of the conference on disarmament and far east questions to be held~in Wash- ington this autumn. In an editorial discussing the pro- posed conference the newspaper say ‘The American note to China merely said_the conference would discuss Pacific and far eastern questions, no restrictions being placed upon 'the scope of the discussion. The note to Japan, however, says that America, while unwilling’ to accede to the de- mand of the Japanese government to restrict the scope of the conference, still hopes the American government will be able to exchange opinions with a view to reaching some agree- ment. “This shows a preliminary confers ence between the big powers is bound to occur. Why should America agree to a preliminary conference with J. and England and omit mention of China? ~ Whether this betrays the secret desire of those three countries to dispose of us ‘in camers,’ or wheth- er during the preliminary conference Japan will give part of the spoils to England and America and so win their =ood will, is less important than the fact that the idea of a preliminary conference can lead only to a repeti- tion of the Versailles conference, where important questions had be to decided by the council of four before being submitted to the representatives ‘er nations making up the as- The American legation has issued a statement to the press in which, on instructions from Washington, it de- nies that the American government favors international control of China.

MAKES A CLEAN HOME . A i Poker Portraits—The Usual Anti-Climax. = AMUSEMENTS STRAND—Vaudeville. Philosophy of the piano forte was interpreted by Alfonzo Zelaya, son of the former President of Nicaragua, in a series of selections running from classical to ragtime numbers at the inauguration of the Strand's program for this week yesterday. That he pleased his audience was shown by the vigorous applause wkich greeted each of his presentations. Expres- sive chords, sureness of touch and a deft conception of rhythm seem to be Zelaya's outstanding features. Bollinger and Reynolds offer a “Tip on the Wire,” the wire being of the slack variety and the “tip” being the first syllable of an adjective denoting unsteadiness. Well feigned near falls drew gasps and then appreciative ap- plause from the spectators. James Kennedy and company pre- sent a playlet entitled “The Honey- mooners,” which is cleverly done. The concluding feature is a skit by Doro- thy Quinette, Stanley Hughes and company, under the caption “A Mo- toring Romeo.” Motion picture features headed by Selznick's_release of “The Fighter,” starring Conway Tearle, in the screen story of Albert Payson Terhune, com- plete the bill. “The Fighter” works mentally as well as physically, the primary motive of the story being a rebuke to hypocrites of country club life and the ballroom world, who shield beneath a mantle of respect- ability the same virtues on a larger scale” which had placed the Fight- er's father behind the bars of a pen- itentiary. The picture has its romance a8 well as its thrill. Mr. Tearle is an effective player and he is creditably supported by Winifred Westover. Photoplay Features. COLUMBIA—“The Great Moment” An Elinor Glyn story, a Cecil B. de Mille production and Gloria Swanson, who has made great strides in her art in recent years, as the star. with the added interest of a Washington locale in part, should be an irresistible com- bination and in the natural order of things ought to make Loew’'s Colum- bia Theater a mecca of local attrac- tion this week. Mr. De Mille's fil roduction of Mme. Glyn's stor: “The Great Moment,” with Miss Swanson as its heroine, is the out- standing feature of the Columbia program, which includes also inti- mate views of photoplay making with the stars at work, the Inter- national News and a fine orchestral program. ‘The story of “The Great Moment"” is Elinor-Glynesque in type and rather complicated, starting with a prologue which depicts the marriage of an English lord to a Russian gypsy. Sub- sequently it is the daughter of this marriage who becomes the central figure of interest. Her father wishes her to marry her cousin, but “a hero” arrives in advance and is mistaken for the cousin. Then follows a trip to America and to faroff Colorado, where, unexpectedly, “the hero” again appears and later is challenged to a rece. She is bitten by a rattlesnake, ha# her arms slashed by the hero, who sucks the poison from the wound and doses her heavily with whisky to save her life. Their absence causes search, the father is indignant and insists upon an immediate marriage with “the hero,” the mistake of which is realized by the couple later, and a divorce follows. The girl departs for the east, where her escapades again call for the appearance of the father and an uncle. “The hero” is sent for and at a wedding party the lady again meets him, the old love is revived and then—the ‘“close-up.” A sensational banquet in Washing- ton will bring a smile to the faces of those who know how wicked and how profligate our wealthy young Wash- ing man and “the hero.” g00d work, especlally in the snake- bite scene. 'The pictures show many scenes familiar to those wh oare ac- quainted with Washington. Miss Swan son’s personality as well as her artl tic contribution to the picture story are most effective. RIALT0—"Ten-Dollar Raise.” Moore’s Rialto Theater yesterday aft- ernoon and last night, notwithstanding the recent improvements by the addi- tion of a spacious gall ry, which adds materially to its seatiig capacity, was lterally filled with an admiring audience 10 see the J. L. Frothingham Associated Producers’ production of “The Te: - lar Raise,” a film version of Peter B. Kyne's well known story. The play 18 exceptionally interesting and the “Story is ?mured in a highly capable manner. It s clean and wholesome and has an abundance of humor as well as pathos and a real thrill or two. The story deals with the drab exis- tence of an office drudge, a poor book: keeper, who has reached middle life without ever receiving salary enough to permit him to marry.. the mffice 7 7 //l’l' V7 stenographer and be a family man like | others in the office. This poor old chap | plods on until he finally reaches a point where he “ceases to be a_worm,” as he expresses it, “kicks over the traces” and for the first time in his long existence | asserts his manhood, with the result that his long ambition—that of becom- ing a family man—is quickly realized. | Willlam V. Mong, for many ears | noted as a character actor, is admirable | in the role of the bookkeeper. Helen Jerome Eddy is excellent as the stenog- rapher. Marguerite de la Motte, wno‘ played opposite to Douglas Fairbanks ! in a number of pieces, plays the ingenue lead, adding greatly to her laurels, and Pat O'Malley is seen to advantage as immy, another clerk and a most zo- mantic_lover. An excellent orchestral progrum, a Mermaid comedy, a Prizma color picture ?nd the News pictures are added fea- ures. HETBOPOI.IE‘A!.I—“Stranger Than Fiction.” An admixture of melodrama. com- edy and romance is presented at Crandall's Metropolitan Theater this week in “Stranger Than Fiction,” which features two stars of the screen, Katherine MacDonald und‘ Wesley Barry, in a story of rapid- fire action, which brings many thrills and surprises. Katherine MacDonald, as one of the ashionable set, who has the * craze, casts her friends in a home- made picture version of “Carmen. It is an amateurish effort, but neve theless delights the participants when it is projected on the screen. It is the second effort of the would-be actors and proves to be a master- piece. Its action is laid in the under- world, and the rounding up of “the Black Heart” gang furnishes a das ing spectacle of airplane perform- ances. Miss MacDonald has a rare oppor- tunity to show her versatility, first as “Carmen,” then a society leader, and finally as a " of the un- derworld. Wesley Barry, as a child ?f hl|he sluryls. 3d;is another chapter 0 his ever-increasin, opularity. “The Skipper S!riEeg ?L Hl(‘l’l' an amusing feature of an interesting program, which includes excellent or- chestral music. PALACE—“Wealth.” ~Wealth,” the photoplay in which Ethel Clayton appears at the Palace this week, is a story that holds at- tention because of the human inter- est written into it. It has intensely dramatic moments, among them the rescue of a score of crippled children from a burning_hospital, but it does not rely upon the spectacular for its success. The theme behind the story is a strong one. Miss Clayton is shown as a girl who gives up her ambitions to become an artist and marries a Yyoung millionaire. His mother, car- ried away by the power which wealth has given her, resents the action of her son in marrying out of his set, and concocts a scheme to separate the young couple by inducing them to remain at her home, where she is constantly placing barriers in their way. The young wife begs her hus- band to take her away from the cold atmosphere of wealth which pervades his mother’s mansion, and the mother appeals with equal force for them to remain. Finally, the death of their first baby arouses the young mil. lionaire to a sense of his duty. Her- bert Rawlinson has the role of the millionaire husband. A comedy and news events com- Dplete the program. KNICKERBOCKER. Crandall's Knickerbocker Theater also yesterday and today is featuring Katherine MacDonald’s” latest First National photoplay, “Stranger Than Fiction,” with “The Skipper Strikes It Rich,” a new Toonerville comedy; the Pathe News, the Literary Digest's “Topics of the Day” and orchestral accompaniment. The feature is re- viewed in these columns under the caption the Metropolitan Theater, | where the same bill was presented yesterday. CRANDALL’'S—“Cold Steel.” Kathleen Clifford, remembered as one of the charming young stars of musical comedy, with J. P. McGowan, is featured in' the Robertson-Cole photoplay, “Cold Steel.” which is be- ing shown in a three-day engagement at Crandall's Theater. Miss Clifford is pictured as e girl inured to the hardships of the desert country near the Rio Grande, wWho lives a life of adventure among the soldiers of fortune, cattle men, miners and other types that flourish near the border. Mr. McGowan is seen as Steele Weir, young engineer intrusted with the construction of a dam in the|" southwest, because- he is the only man with the iron nerve to put the Job through. The gtory is replete with dramatic situations through which runs a refreshing love story. A co! panion feature is “Rent Collector,” a hilarious two-reel comedy. in which Larry Semon executes some remark- able gymnastic comedy f Minor plctures and pipe organ accompani- ment complete the bill. —By WEBSTER.

LONDON, August 4.—The famous! ix cream ponies which were for- merly part of the state pageantry of London will never appear again drawing the royal coach through the London streets as, owing to In- breeding, the stock has grown too small for ceremonial purposes and their places have now been taken by the “royal blacks.” The stock of creams, however, will not be allowed to die out altogether, for the king has presented them to the army council. and in future they will be used as cavalry drum horses. — CATTLE BEING SHIPPED.

Dor- moy, designer of the sifter used to spray the arsenate of lead powder over a grove of 5,000 catalpa trees on the farm of Harry A. Carver, near Troy, Ohlo. The plane flew within twenty or twenty-five feet of the tree tops and the breeze from the propellers carried the powder into every part of the grove, doing in a few min- utes the work which would require a number of men with pump sprays several days.
