“TOUR FRIEND AND MINE”
One of the most entertaining photo
plays presented fit the Royal theatre
this season Is 'Tour FrYlend and
Mine,” a screen version of the stage
hit by Willard Mack, with the autho*
In the role he played on the stage. It
has all the elements that go to make
a film of genuine satisfaction. Story,
noting, settings and direction are all
of the highest order, leaving nothing
to be desired, and opens Monday for
two days run.
"Your friend and Mine" tells of the
plans of a celebrated author to show
up the evil Intentions of a bogus
artist. The latter is in love with the
wife of the author's friend, and the
husband is ignorant of the artist’s
true feeling toward his wife. The au
thor reads to the wife, in the presence
of the artist, the manusoript of a play
Which he has written. It is concerned
with a situation In which all are In
volved; and its dramatic climax is so
Impressive as to defeat the schemes of
the artist.
! Willard Mack is his usual self in
the author’s role. Enid pennefct does
well as the neglected wife, and Hunt- :
ly ordon is admirable as her husband j
The artist is carefully played by T. |
Herbert Frank. Others of importance
are Rosemary Thetby, Otto Lederer.
and Aileen Ray. .

A Scene From “YOUR FRIEND AND MINE"
OPENING MONDAY AT THE ROYAL
TELLS RADICALS HE |
HAS PRECEDENT FOR j
NOT QUITTING POST
Albert Sarraut, Minister
French Colonies Cities In
cident in 1905
of
PARIS, June 30.—Albert Surrat. min
ister for the colonies, and one of the
French delegates to the Washington
arms conference, who recently refused
to resign from the cabinet at the be
hest of the radical party, .tells his
radical friends he has a good prece
dent for his action in the following
story, for which he vouches.
When the radical cabinet presided
over by Emile Combes was over
thrown in 1905, the radical party de
cided it would not accept as a suc
cessor Maurice Rouvier, minister of
finance, who was asked by President
Emile Loubet to form a new ministry
It sent a delegation composed of Bien
venu Martin. Fernand Dubief and-M.
Trouiliot, minister of commerce, to
tell M. Rouvier that the radical party
would have nothing to do with him
and that he had better in the interest
harmony, decline the tasK.
The executive committee of the par.y
remained in session to^ hear' the rep
of the delegation s visit to Rouvier,
but after waiting until late at night,
went home without word from the em
issaries. The next morning, however
they got news—news that each of the
delegates had accepted a Portfolio in
the cabinet to be formed by M. Rou
vier. A _
Waterloo
A horse named Waterloo, owned by
a man named Hoofmann, caused a
demonstration at the Longchamps on
Grand Prix today. The French public
patrSnizing the tracks, which has a
way of promptly showing its disap
proval, took It as an ill omen that a
horse named after one Of the most hu
miliating French defeats should run
on the greatest racing day of the year
in the presence of the president of ten
republic, and the members of the cab
lngom8 hooted when the horse's num
ber was raised in the paddock, and one
spectator warningly suggested to Hoff
mann that he might have his name
changed to Austerlitz; it will only
cost you ten napoleons.” Te owner
thereupon promised to remit the fee
of 200 francs to the jockey club and
have the name of the horse changed.
Races Draw Crowds
The French racing crowds lately
have shown considerable emotion at
questionable decisions In dose finishes
and in order to prevent a repetition of
the regrettable Incidents of Long
champs about a dozen years ago, when
the Mutual betting booths were burned,
the stewards have decided to experi
ment with a camera to verify the
Judges' decisions in nose finish.
Photographs have enabled the judges
to pick the winner with absolute cer
tainty in "several cases in which horses
lent for trials ran what appeared to
be head heats. In every finish in
which the order of the horses is net
obvious the judges will hoist the word
"photograph” instead of. the horses'
numbers; time will be taken- to de
velop the photographs and the order
of the finish will be posted when the
Jockeys have weighed out.

enabled to get a first hand impression
of how their representatives act in
parliament: hew they slam the desk
covers to drown out the voices of po
litical opponents, how they exchange j
"amenities" across the floor of the!
chamber, how they often invite one an- j
other into the lobbies to fight it out \
when the debate arouses angry pas- j
