THE BEST
Photoplay Department in
WASHINGTON
Wants to Form Club
of Film Actresses
For Their OWn
Protection

The motion picture actresses are
becoming a chubby lot Of young
women-they are all young women.
by the way-and now they want to
have a real club Just like the men
folks. While most of the actresses
have been thinking about 1t for
weeks and months. 1t has remained
for Lillian Tucker to voice her
and their feelings ~on the subject
Lillian Tucker is a newcomer In the
Aim field, appearing In the leading
role Of Evidence as her first pic
ture and preparing to appear now
in the lead with Charles Cherry in
Tho Mummy and the Humming
Bird" She has had lots Of expert
snce on the legitimate stage and IL
. fairly we'll known young woman.
Hhe Believes there is a practical bust.
ness side to club life for actresses.
She says. -. .-.
owned a club, fake agencies" would
not have dared exist because they
would have been found out and
prosecuted. The club itself would
have maintaintH an informal en-
ployment bureau. In cooperation
with the motion picture companies.
and an information bureau, which
" would have been clearing house
for troubles.
MEN in the motion picture pro-
fession to whom I have broached
the subject, express doubts as to the
ability Of the women to organize and
maintain such a club. I think the
men discredit the intelligence Of the
actresses. Personal jealousies could
be overcome In working for COM
mon cause. With a distinct pur-
pose in view-the purpose to estab-
iish the dignity Of their profession.
aid the inexperienced and unfortn-
nate girls who are having strug-
gle to gain foothold, and to
broaden the interests of those who
have succeeded-I have no doubt but
what the women could maintain a
club. At the same time many Of
the problems which surround the
profession would disappear.
Miss Tucker suggests that rooms
be. rented in 2 house IN the theatri-
porarily for the club. A cafeteria,
she feels, would be practical at
first. There should be club rooms
where the actresses could meet for
sociability and where they could
stop in to rest. She thinks that the
producing companies would be Will.
Ing to help finance the club to start
because the organization might be-
come of real advantage to them
through the employment bureau,
and she feels that the influence, OF
the club would be felt In q higher
standard of work.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. II.
Amendments to the present
neutrality statutes and new laws
to protect the U. S. fro mviola-
tions of neutrality, such as have
occurred in the European war
and the Mexican revolutions,
were recommended yesterday by
Attorney General Gregory in his

Gregory would make it specific
ally crime against the u. 8. to
place bombs or explosives on ves-
sells sailing from American ports,
and crime for any person to
attempt to escape from an in
termed warship of a warning ma
ton.
The attorney general also sug-
gested that the government be
given authority to seize arms and
munitions about to be exported
In violation of a presidential
proclamation of an embargo on
shipments of that character.

The law provides that 1t shall
be unlawful for any person to
take or solicit orders for pur-
chase or sale of liquor either in
person or by advertisement of any
kind.
