story. based on a poetic idyll. that is powerful as 1t is startling. It car ries back thousands of years to the days when all life was in harmony with nature itself; when all was pure and virtuous; when human minds were un- tainted and bodies unadorned. Passing through the times of ancient Greek mythology. we see the unfortunate Pan dora release Evil upon the earth with all the consequent strife and sorrow. Again. as time goes on we come to mod ern society with all it's false morality. Powerful in it's arragnment of mawkish prudery: stineing in it's rebuke of false social customs, Purity" will strip your mind and heart of all deceptive ideals and leave in it's place this golden thought: Nature, unadorned, is essen italy pure and beautiful"
 It is fitting that this story. treating as it does of art and artists. should have for it's leading interpreter the most beautiful art model in all this world, Audrey Munson--a woman of surpass- ing beauty and the perfection of fem mine form. In her portrayal of the di- cult role of Purity" she impresses mostly by the native purity and esthetic beauty of her mind
 She appears on various occasions in natures original garments: again, in the simple dapha garb of an cient Greece; and yet again. in the dress of modern times: and through il all she displays a subtle artistry that is indeed refreshing Her winning sweet ness, her nobility of mien. her superb grace and finished acting are never to be forgotten optical delights"

er housing and disregard for the COM

ers have been reported from two or
three labor sections.
In addition to adjusting the difficult
ties Of numbers Of the race who have
migrated to New York from the south
and the supplying Of several indus
tries in the north with labor, the Ur-
ban league is sending Eugene X. Jones,
Its executive secretary, to cities where
the presence Of large numbers of col
ored people makes imperative the
need for organized constructive vel
fare work.
Mr.. Jones made his first stop in Har-
risburg, Pa, where, largely because Of
the iron industry in the adjoining
town of Steelton, serious labor prob
lens are going to be met by group
of citizens who have under considera-
ton definite plans to handle the situa-
tion. In its efforts to arrange ade-
quate housing, sufficient wages, salts
factory hours, wholesome recreation,
safe and just municipal protection and
proper respect for law and the rights
Of others on the part of the Negroes
themselves the Urban league will give
the advantage of its own experience
in meeting these issues in the various
cities where its organizations are at
work.
In Pittsburgh, where an affiliated
movement of the league was formed
last winter. the various problems aris-
ing in this large iron manufacturing
city will have careful supervision and
systematic handling by the branch or
ganization. Pittsburgh is accustomed
to large laboring population, and the
same problems will be more easily met
and solved than in other cities which

Mr.. Jones will also visit Elyria, O..
which has been one of the centers for
Negro labor since the general exodus
began. Another phase Of the leagues
activities in this same direction is the
sending to colored editors all over the
country letter of general information
calling attention to the fact that good
positions are being secured by the eff
cient and energetic members of the
race when they have come north to fill
definite job and are willing to give
an honest days toll.
The communication contains also n
warning against the wholesale migra-
ton of irresponsible Negroes, who soon
lose their places. become n menace to
the neighborhoods and thereby humili-
ate and retard the race in communities
where white people have hitherto con-
sidered Negroes undesirable.
Before returning to the city Mr..
Jones will stop in Cleveland and Chi
| cago. Both Of these cities have made
requests for the league to start per
manent organizations, fully equipped
to work along NIL lines of betterment
