Kase it has a Koon in the Kastl
That was the story that ran
around town yesterday in regard to
the presentation of the picture ad
verlised by the Strand Theatre to
night—Pola Negri in Bella Donna.
Some said one tiling and some
said another. The prevailing story
was that the Klan had notified the
theatre that die picture could not be
shown on the ground that it por
frayed a negro making love In a
white lady. Others said that the
Klan had gotten the name of the star I
—Xegri—mixed up with character.
Others asked wliat the Klan would
do if the picture people allowed re
gardless of their warning, and there
followed vague hint* of pressure of j
one kind of another coming from
die Klangoliuni of the Invisible Em-;
pire.
But Kshticks, there wasn't a thing
*o it except that the reputed organ
»*er of the Klan, who jait* in his
lime around here, had been to May
or Houston and asked him to makt
an investigation of the picture with
a view of forbidding its presenta
tion if it were indecent. Mr. <’,ih
sosi, the organirer, mid there was a
negro in the picture in the act of
making love to • white woman.
Mr. Houston said that he had no
authority to stop the picture unless
ft were shown to be indecent, and
since »here e.\i*\e»l a wry line state
