CoCIETY, like government, is sup
posed to be the dilettante serv-
~ ant of the people. However,
nowhere in the arts does society be-
come the complete master as in mo-
ton pictures. A writer in Photoplay
makes the following pertinent COM
ment on the influence Of the antics
of the diamond studded tribe in the
movies:
Directors who can handle panic
on the stock exchange, railroad
wreck, battle or tragedy in nun
merry merely gibber when society in
vades them. That large storeroom
crammed with chromos, prop mantels,
neophyte buffers and grinning extra
men in walters small clothes to repre-
sent club. is only the beginning OF
social misery. Nearly every society
grand dame is all that the soap box
anarchist paints her. The average
reception looks like masquerade ball
among the feeble minded. Did you
ever see anything so utterly lacking
in personality as the pictured dinner
dance? And at the opera! Words fail.
AS they do for ingenue pouring, the
leading man filling out the yillainess'
dancing card, and the villain himself
busting up a home behind him the
'pamms.'
There is something to society other
than the deafening din of the Klaxons
of the elevated bourgeoise, but photo
play directors have not as yet had the
deft touch to reproduce 1t. They are
artist at picturing the unreal, but life
as it is remains a mystery to the mo-
ton picture studio.
THE UNWRITTEN LAW"
A picture of rare worth is being
shown at the Majestic theatre this
week. 1t is THE Unwritten Law"
with Beatriz Michelena in the leading
role, and it is quite the best photo
play that has been shown at the
Majestic theatre since that playhouse
has been reopened. incidentally it is
a picture which is not barred to any
person, young or old, and all can get
pleasure and find the time we'll spent
in reviewing this filmization of the
stage drama of Edwin Milton Royle.
AS Kate Wilson," Miss Michelena
gave a dramatic characterization that
is yet to be surpassed on the local
screen.
THE Unwritten Law" will be shown
at the Majestic theatre today, and
the management asserts that the
standing room only" sign is being
used at every performance

speech as to the bills constitutionality.
Senator Borah still proposes to submit
the immigration bill as an amendment to
the child labor measure despite the ac-
ton of the democratic caucus In voting
to oppose such a move. and this effort
probably will prevent a vote being
reached on the original bill until next

towns of Lille, Roubaix and Tourcoing

left open and none was to leave the
house before q. m. The orders stated
that "all protests will be useless and
anyone trying to evade deportation will
be pitilessly punished"
The victims in all cases were chosen
arbitrarily by the officer in charge of
the deporting party. Each person sin

recommended should consist of utensils

conducted by N. A. Moon, major of the
Fourth regiment. He found without ex-
ception that the quarters, kitchens and

curate. He reported. however. that prac-
tically all companies had taken steps to
rectify this for the coming months.
