pressed by Speaker Champ Clark, at the
time he broke with the administration on
the Panama Canal tolls matter, and de

A CUTE DEMOCRATIC SCHEME

Washington, ID. c., July l3.---An-
nouncement was made in Washington
Saturday to the effect that all applicant q

with their applications and examination
papers The explanation is given that
heretofore professional examination Ia
kers have been passing the examinations
under assumed names, and that unwor-
Thy individuals have profted thereby.
While the commission has not been sble
to discover any employees of the govern
ment now who hxve profted by sucI,
means, the conviction Is sstd To remain
nevertheless.
There are those who see further than
the noses on their face who recognize in
this shrewd move on the part of the
Democrats to keep colored men who sue

eligible list, or at least 70 prevent their
early appointment. Some means Ia.

The outlook for an early vote on the

Speeches are still being uttered from day

The speakers yesterday were Senators
Oliver. OF Pennsylvania: West. OF Geor-

Oliver and DUPONT are opposed to repeal.
while Mr.. West, Of Georgia. was favor

eleven Senators who in 1872 voted against

WON'T STAND FOR" SALOONS.
Residents of East Capitol Street
Launch Protest Movement.

A pending application for a saloon IL
cense for the 500 block OF East Capitol
street has stirred residents Of East
Washington to such an extent that they
have decided to test the Jones-work law
in an effort. they say, to preserve the
present status Of that street as resi-
dental section strictly.
1t is feared that the admission Of a
single saloon to the block would throw
ii open to business establishments in
general. East Capitol street was pointed
to as one of the city's most beautiful
residential streets. More than 800 young
women who use the street daily. many
after dark. on their way home from
work. have signed a protest against
granting a license. The movement is
not against saloons. merely. 1t 10 ex-

Standards Of playing TO the picture
differ. In England and on the Continent
1t Ii customary for the musicians to
choose a selection appropriate to the
picture and play It through from begin
ming to end. lively air will be played
during a comedy. classical selection
during q patriotic picture and SO on.
The same policy is followed in the higher
theeters In this country.
I'm many theaters the pianist follows
the picture by playing a tune which IA
felt to be appropriate for the scene on
the screen. Thus the audience may hear
Way Down Upon the Suwanee River
one minute and Where Did You Get
That Hatr the next.
The question of whether II is better to
select tune and play II from start u
finish or to play short melodies. chang
ing them to mt the scene shown. well
may be passed over. The question is al
ways open to argument, and the exhfb-
itor should decide 1t according to what
he feels his audience wants. There are
some audiences to whom only the OBJ
vious appeals 'Tl Trovatore' to them
is simply a tune, nothing more. They
want the tune to fit the scene.
On the other hand. there Is the con-
stantly growing class of audience pos
sessed OF an appreciation Of music. These
people want to hear a complete selection.
Exhibitors should make an effort to raise
the plane of the motion picture industry
and to that end audiences should be edu-
Gated up to good music and should learn
to expect II in motion picture theaters.

Fleeing Views.

The public ID constantly demanding
something better from the motion picture
exhibitors-and they are constantly get
ting something better. They get better
pictures, much better service, and they
get longer shows-without the tiresome
waits between reels. although want to
register my opinion. right here, that the
comment recently made by n. Il B."
In the Queries" column to the effect that
there should be a short walt after each
picture to enable the audience to balance
itself for the next one, Is decidedly
good one But these demands from the
public and the spontaneous way they are
filled or rather anticipated bv the rro-
ducing companies all point to the fact
that in addition to the film corporations
and the exchangemen and the public get
ting more out of the photopiay game
the exhibitor is also due to profit more
in the future than he has in the past
In Washington, particularly. the exhibit
tors are selling their wares too cneaply.
There should not be a moving picture
theater in this city charging less than
10 cents for its average show-the big
downtown houses that show the tremen-
dous feature plays in addition to a regu-
lar program should charge more than 10
cents. The Christian which recently
played at the Orpheum. or Samson" now
at the Casino. would be bargain offerings
at 50-cent admiss.on-and the public
ought to realize that fact. And after all
the whole situation 10 In the hands Of
the motion picture public.
The aim producers state frankly that
they must charge enormous prices for
their big productions. and even the regu-
lar programs are more costly than they
used to be. The exchangemena are not
going to lose by not charging as much
as they can get. 1t Ii therefote up to
the public-if they want to see the best
plays. produced among the most COM
surrounding they must expect to
pay a commensurate fee
The little article in Reel Life" on
playing to the pictures presents some
points Of interest for the exhibitor. 1t
says in part:
Playing to the picture il the most
Important problem which confronts the
pianist In a motion picture theater. The
pianist can do much to make or mar the
screen offering. Music can lend value to
the picture or intrude itself most un-
pleasantly. Also 1t is one Of the most
neglected of the factors which make
for the success or failure of the owner
of motion picture theater.
Managers and proprietors may do their
best to get good pictures They may
dress the front of the house and
make It radiant with electric lights.
They may buy uniforms for their ushers
