In order to reach the heart Of her
hearers-and It is the heart Of the audi.
ence for which all true singers aim
am sure her eyes will reflect the same
quality that makes the voice, and will
grow IN expression.
So there are two applications Of the
fable: how to make the most of wha,
You have and how to make your lot SC
good contentment is justified.
For. be 1t known. am not q preacher
Of the gospel Of content.
What is most often known as content
approaches laziness.
Discomfort Is the backbone of the law
Of progress.
Discontent is what has made the
world what It Is.
Discomfort must make US go on to
betterment.
Let me say to my singer friend that
with your voice, your mouth is the fea-
ture which will be most noticed. Keep
your teeth like pearls. Keep your lips
like rose petals. Keep the curve of the
mouth sweet and upturned, the reflex
OF smiling nature and a sympathetic
heart.
Keep your skin soft and clear and
wholesome and glowing with health.
for the first aid to singing Is health; the
more the merrier.
With all my heart, I agree that the
expression Of the eyes is Of paramount
importance, for all persons.

Of the present enterprise
There Is another angle to the rres-
eItation of THE Strike that
should appeal to the average play
goer. l. treats Of conditions that
are similar to those that have
caused the present unfortunate sit
uation in Colorado. After viewing
a Nlm of this character the general
public is in better position to un-
derstand and digest news that
comes from the scenes of indus
trial unrest throughout the country.
There are some features OF The
Strike" which the enthusinastic
supporters of both capital and labor
will object 1t takes no sides in tho
controversy, but attempts to show
the evil of both. AS stated. it il
not a pretty film-but it is a very
vivid film, and as an example of
what can be done with the moving
picture resources toward putting
before the general public the actual
conditions in a strained industrial
situation, it Is to be strongly COM
mended. G.. NJ

War Reduces Prices
in London Theaters

Correspondence Of The Associated Press }
LONDON, Sept. 15-The war has
brought about two innovations in the
leading London theaters, a reduction of
prices and the privilege of sitting IN the
best seats without wearing evening dress.
The stalls of London houses, which CORE
spond to orchestra seats in America. are
ordinarily sold at $3.50. but several Of the
principal theaters have reduced the prices
TO 81. Although there was no hard and
fast rule, there was a custom which only
a few independent people had the temer-
ity to violate, that every occupant of the
stalls should wear evening dress The
exceedingly fashionable theaters con-
trolled by Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree and
Sir George Alexander were among the
first to recognize that war is a time when
formalities are at discount.
When people are cutting off their
luxuries, and many in mourning or OPP
pressed with anxiety for relatives at the
front, theater-going suffers a sharp de-
cline. In the interests of the many peo-
pie who depend upon them for a living.
the managers are doing their best to keep
their houses open. Profit sharing has
been adopted by many London and pro-
vinclaI establishments.

EMPLOYEES MUST BE HEALTHY

TeXarkana, Feb. 10.--C H. Jennings,
superintendent of the dining cars on
the Cotton Belt, announces the in
auguration of rigid examinations at
least every three months Of all who
in any way handle food served in the
dining cars on the Cotton Belt, the
object of such examination being to
keep out of the service all who may
have communicable diseases. Up to
date, he announces, sixty men have
been examined and only one has been
found to have any such disease. Not
one trace Of tuberculosis was found
in any of the examinations.
In the one case removed the man
was suffering from Bright's disease.
While it is stated that this disease is
not communicable it was deemed ad-
visable to remove the man so as to
be on the safe side. 1t is stated that
only two other railroads in the Unit
ed States have thus far .inaugurated
these examinations as a protection to
the dining car patrons-the Penn
sylvania and the Northern Pacific.
