With the possible exception Of the
serial feature, 1.-THE Master Key
there is probably no type OF story
which has made Robert Leonard's
name so welcome on the Universal
program as his intermittent series OF
Boob comedy dramas with himself
in the role of Boob" That is why
exhibitors and film fans the country
over will be keenly interested to learn
that he has just completed, another
of these two-reel subjects, this time
the story of an amateur detective wlSo
scores a scoop on the real article sent
out from the city on the trail OF a
gang OF bandits.
"The Boob's Victory" is the title OF
the tale and in 1t Leonard plays tne
role Of the corn-fed country boy
whose interest is always divided be-
tween the work he is hired to do and
the studying OF little handbook on
| the subject, "How to Become DE
tectiye.'' During the two reels COM
edy situations alternate with dramatic
crises in way that leands strength
to both. This is the first of Leonard's
productions since returning from
Arrowhead and in it Ella Hall plays
onnosite Leonard with Marc Robbins
and Kingsley Benedict comprising the
supporting cast
william s. Hart, whose virile act
ing has won him millions Of follow
ers throughout the world, will be seen
for the third time as the star OF a
Triangle Kay-Bee feature when he Is
nresented by Thomas II. 1nce In
"Hell's Hinges" western drama
from the prolific pen Of g. Gardner
Sullivan.
The semi-annual engagement Of
Howe's Travel Festival Is booked for
matinee and night performances at
the Robinson Grand tomorrow when
an entirely new program will be pre-
sented comprising some amazing
demonstrations of the untold posi-
Utilities OF motion photography.
Among them may be mentioned the
very latest cinematographic process
showing the movements Of animals
which ordinarily are SO agile that
| they elude the eye. However, move
merts that are entirely too swift for
the human eye to note in detail, are
here reproduced eight times slower
than normal. Another curiosity Of
fildom which is weirdly beautiful
shows the capitalization Of various
metals, and also some acrcbatic feats
by denizens Of the insect world the
scarab and stag-beetlea The world
Of Industry also contributes a film
showing In most comprehensive
way every phase Of making an auto
mobile at the immense plant Of the
.lWillys-o Overland Company, Toledo.

Passage Of the Adamssn
Bill, Is Opened Up Again

New York. Dec. 2s.-The entire
railroad situation. which led to
threats Of . general strike Of four
hundred thousand trainmen during.
the summer and the hurried enact
ment of the Adamson eight-hour Law,
was ripped wide open again this
afternoon. By leaders Of the big four
brotherhoods.
In statement framed and signed
by the brotherhood chiefs. It was an
nounced that the situation which has
resulted in delaying all benefits do
manded by the men. would be placed
before the brotherhood members for
their consideration.
The statement was critical OF every
step taken since the strike call was
issued last summer and the brother-
hood leaders and railway presidents
were summoned to Washington BY
the president.
The statement pointed out that
even though the Adamson law should
be decided CONSTITUTIONAL the prob
ability Of additional litigation being
started by the railroads will SER
iously affect the Investigation Of the
commission appointed by President
Wilson to observe the operation OF
the law and thus defeat It's intent.
New York, Dec. 2s.-The refusal
OF railroads to agree to the opera
tion Of the Adamson eight-hour Law.
with its subsequent $4,000, 900
monthly increase in salaries for en-
ployes, beginning January I, may
presage sporadic strikes on roads
throughout the country. It was be-
lieved today. The employees insist
on the law being put in force Jan
uary /. The roads refused to &C.
cept the terms Of the law until =
decision has been given BY the United
States supreme court. .
A compromise similar to that ef-
fected with the switchmen's union
was refused by the brotherhoods.
Brotherhood heads refused to talk
Of a strike. They fear. however. m
dividual action by members Of the
brotherhoods.
