onvention
Figures just announced show Chi-
cago last year to have been the host
to 753 conventions with an attendance
exceeding 700,000. These are exclu-
sive of the hundreds of small group
meetings which were not registered.
Selection of the "New Athens," Chi-
cago self-styled, as the site for the.
international eucharistic congress in
1926, which is expected to bring more
than 1,000,000 visitors in one month,
was based largely on these conditions,
commerce officials believe.
A dozen new hotels were built last
year and more than a score are pro-
jected for 1924-25. The normal hotel
capacity of Chicago is in excess of
100,000 rooms per day, it is claimed,
while materialization of the new pro-I
jects within the next few years will
double this capacity.
OUTDOOR RIFLE RANGEt
WILL BE OPEINSOON
Capt. F. E. Collins, of the R. 0. T.
C. stated yesterday that, weather per-
mitting, the outdoor rifle range would
.be opened about the first of April.
Captain Collins is in charge of thel
range which is situated two miles;
south of Ann Arbor.
fast year, the range was in constant
use, although Friday afternoon and
Saturday morning were the most
popular times. The outdoor range
was not used by co-eds who, however,
frequent the indoor range which is on
the third floor of the Enginering build-.
ing. The average number in the after-
noon was about twenty men..
The outdoor pistol range will open
about May 1st, and will be the scene
of an all-campus pistol match. A
meeting for all those interested was
held in the Infantry office recently.
- - -a
sister, Mary, conceived the plot idea
for a Kentucky mountain story and
together with Marion Jackson they
produced a tale known to the cinema
world as the "Hill Billy." Jack Pick-
ford returns to "Movie Row" and star-
dom in the picture which claims his
co-authorship. He comes back as the
ragged boy of the Kentucky hills, the
daring, adventuresome, lovable youth
of the backwoods. Lucille Ricksen,
who is famed as Hollywood's youngest
leading lady, supports Jack as Emmy
Lou, the sweet, demure maid who
brings romance into the life of a lone-
some boy.
And on Thursday Leah Baird comes
in her new screen triumph, "The De-
stroying Angel." Starting with the
pretty feminine thrill of a secret mar-
riage, the story tells of a romantic
girl who mysteriously disappears from
her society circle and is boosted to,
stage stardom by a shrewd theatrical
manager under the enticing name of
"The Deistroying Angel." Together
with the showing of this picture, "Co-
lumbus," the first of a series of film
chronicles produced by the Yale Uni-
versity Press, will also be featured.
MajestlC
Colleen Moore plays the part of a
typical small town "tomboy" who be-
comes an actress and returns to her
home town in a play picturizing the
story of her own life in "Painted Peo-.
ple." She portrays the role of "her-
self" playing baseball on a vacant lot,
and the gallery is composed of play-
ers enacting the town'sdcharacters
Iwho are in.the theatre audience. The
story was adopted from the magazine
serial, "The Swamp Angel," written
by Richard Connell, one of the fore-
most.of American humorists. "Paint-
ed People" is featured at the Majestic
today through Wednesday.
J. Rosamond Johnson comes to the
Majestic with "His Inimitable Five"
this week, offering a musical chronol-
ogy based in the old negro plantation
songs and spirituals, entitled "Synco-
pation." Mr. Johnson's company con-
sists of an eccentric drummer and
dancer, a sterling banjoist and pianist,
a baritone who is also clever with the
clarinet and saxophone, and a youth-
ful violinist. - Miss Eloise Bennett, the
fifth member of the company, is de-
clared by critics to have more poise
than any colored girl ever seen in
vaudeville. She sings and dances with
characteristic interpretation.
A comedy, "Cowboy," and a new
Aesop fable cartoon conclude the Ma-,
jestic program for the early part of
the week.
"Her Man," a Metropolitan special
feature, comes to the Majestic on
Thursday to remain through Saturday.
Orpheunt
"The Cricket on the Hearth" is a
faithful picturization of the immortal
Charles Dickens' best loved tale of
the home. Josef Swickard and Fritzi
Ridgeway are the featured players.
Baby Peggy in "Nobody's Darling" and
Fox news in addition to "The Cricket
on the Hea'rth," constitute the Orphe-
um program today through Tuesday.
J. B. Warner in "The Lone, Fighter"
features on Wednesday and Thursday
and the last two days of the week
Kenneth MacDonald comes in "After
A Million." Also Ruth Roland in
"Haunted Valley."
The Stage
Garrick
"Grounds for Divorce," in which
i Ina Claire is to apjbear at the Garrick
ths week, is of Hungarian origin. The
name of Ernest Vajda, the young con-
temporary author, al: dy means
much on the continent, and shortly,
in New York, the Theatre Guild is
going to do his "Fate Morgana."
The comedy in which Miss Claire is
to appear, deals with an ultra-modern
set in Paris. A world famous divorce
lawyer finds himself in the ways of
trouble with his lovely wife and an
amusing novel situation unfolds in
consequence.
The cast includes Bruce McRae,
Cora Witherspoon, Gladys Burgess,
Mary Phillip and Essex Dane.

"Torment,". featuring Owen Moore
and Bessie Love, is playing at the Ar.
cade Theatre today through Tuesday.
With a reproduction of the Japanese
earthquake, scenes depictiflg the Rus-
Sian revolution, and a dramatic se-
quence in the vault of a wrecked
Yokohama bank, where crooks seeking
a fortune in gems are trapped with
their victims, it presents a stirring,
love story.
Filmed in Sonora, California, one of
the oldest and most historic of the
California gold cities, "Flaming Bar-
riers-," which comes tQ the Arcade on
Wednesday to remain the entire week,
lhs as its background a country in
which much of the western state's ro-
mantic' story was developed. The lit-
tle town of Burbridge, where most of
the action takes place, is a battle
ground'on which the things of yester-
day and the things of today struggle
for the mastery. Although a decided-
ly. modern story, "Flaming Barriers"
retains a strong flavor of the old days
of the went,
"Flaming Barriers" is a story of
love and business success, a comedy-
drama produced by the man who made
"The Shiek," "Burning Sands," and
'Salomy Jane." Jacqueline Logan,
Antonio Moreno and Walter Hires are
the featured players.
