"The G;Ided Cage.

| 81
The central character Of "The
Gilded Cage" in which Alice Brady
will be seen at the Gem Theatre Sum
day, is the queen who ascends the
throne of Balkany, a mythical king
dom, while the country is i'll a state
of chaos. What does she do but dis
guise herself as peasant, sally forth
and mingle with her people. she
meets wandering prince, Boris by
name, and falls in love with him.
Boris, with the disguised queen, is
cast in prison by the baron who aims
to gain control of the kingdom, and it
is only after series of exciting Incl
dents that the queen puts the baron
and his followers to rout and an
nounces herself and Boris as queen
and king of the people.
A fascinating picture is this, of
"The Prisoner of Zenda" type, that
convinces and interests over it's full
length. There are some moments
where bits of excellent comedy are
introduced, and, on the other hand,
there are a good many spectacular
street settings, peopled with large
numbers of Balkany peasants.
Alice Brady plays the role of the
queen with plenty of feeling, and Irv-
ing Cummings does Boris after the
regular fashion of defiant and much
beloved heroes Montagu Love makes
thoroughly detestable villain. Good
support is given by Arthur Ashley,
Alec Francis, Gerda Holmes, Clara
Whipple and Sidney Dalbrook.

Ellis Wife's Good Name, %

Conceding that man of affairs
may deliberately attempt to ruin the
character and reputation Of his new
daughter-in-law by throwing her into
the worst of surroundings and then
bringing in his SON to witness her de-
gredation, taking a chance on cloud
ing years of the young mans life
conceding also that the woman in the
case, the wife, knowing the culpabil-
ity of the father, will for many
months not only remain away from
her husband, but also keep him in
ignorance of his fathers unspeakably
inhuman conduct, ellis Wife's Good
Name" to be shown at the Grand
next Friday, will make strong pic
ture.
Lucille Lee Stewart is cast in the
role of the wife, negative creature
and simple, but lacking
those elements, magnetism perhaps
more than anything else, that contri-
butte to the making of strong wo-
man, one to inspire interest and SYM
pathy. John Robertson, as Doctor
Cameron, the friend and benefactor
of the wife in distress, wins the heart
of the observer from his entrance in
the story, and holds it in increasing
fashion to the end. It is splendid
character, finely portrayed.
Huntley Gordon, not overyoung
college student, supplies the ginger
that enlivens the story. Frank Cur
-ier as the brutal father bulks big.
Of the role that is given him he makes
he most. We despise the senior

tation makes nearly convincing a

An American Labor Year Book

One OF the most important oontribu-
tions to the literature OF the labor move
ment Is a Labor Year Book prepared by
the Department of Labor Research of
the Rand School of Social Science of
New York, in cooperation with a num-
Der OF noted economists and statisticians
and students of the labor movement.
One OF the greatest needs, which per-
sons participating in the labor move
ment. have felt for some time, is the
periodic publication OF a year book re-
cording the progress OF the labor move
ment in the United States from year to
wear. The Statesman's Year Book, the
American Year Book, the World Almanac,
and other similar annual publications
contain a great deal OF useful informa-
ton and are valuable guides for the stu
dent of the worlds progress. These pub
lications, however, are not interested par
ticularly to present in detail the prog
ress of the labor movement. They treat
the great labor events OF the year, if
they do at all, the same as they would
exports and imports OF commodities. etc.
To meet this dire need for intelligent
information concerning the labor move
ment, the Department OF Labor Research
OF the Rand School OF Social Science-a
school devoted to the education of work
ers-has undertaken the publication OF
a labor wear book, the first OF its kind
in the United States. The progress of
the Socialist. labor and cooperative
movements here and abroad will be re-

PRUNING
IN OTHER

County Assessor Cameron re-

county have been cut $S,000,000.
Also that in Yakima county they
have been cut 100000 on a to-
tai valuation of s72,000,000.
In King county the cut is be-
tween three and four million this
year.
Cameron claims these figures
go to support his action in chop
ping the assessed valuations In
Pierce $S,321,225. Every indica-
ton is that throughout the state
it is being found that property
has been assessed too high, he
says.
In Yakima the reduction is pro-
portionately greater than in
Pierce.
County Commissioner Reed
Friday took steps to bring about
an increase in the assessed valua-
ton of the operating properties
of the Wilkeson, Carbonate and
Burnett mines.
Reports made to the county
commissioners show, he said, that
these properties have been assess
ed at only one-tenth of their actu-
al value.
