On the Screen
"Babbling Tongues" an Ivan
Picture, Has Surpris-
ing Climax

"Babbling Tongues" new Ivan pict-
ure, was shown at the New York Thea
tire yesterday for the first time. The
picture was written and directed by
William Humphrey. IL has the ad-
vantage Of an all-star cast, headed by
Grace Valentine and James Morrison.
Miss Valentine will never again con-
sent to play ingenues after she sees
herself as Therese Moreau. She is
quite magnificent in her strong scenes,
and the picture abounds in them.
The idea is not unlike that in Seven
Keys to BaldpGte," for, after he has
tangled up his characters in a mess
from which he never can extricste
them, the author says II Is merely a
play which Paul has been writing.
Even then 1t never /. quito clear whom
the play begins and the reality leaves
of.
Paul Is q young poet, who lives In
the home Of Jose Moresu and his beau
tiful young wife, Therese. The maid
starts the babbling tongues by saying
TO the chauffeur, "Have you seen our
beautiful young Paul? My mistress Is
much interested In him."
This travels like wildfrs, and after
a duel, In which the husband Is fatally
wounded, the lovers are practically
forced into each others arms.
James Morrison does good work as
Paul, the young man who has plenty Of
convictions but not the courage Of them.
Arthur Donaldson Is excellent as Jose
Morcau, and Paul Capellani is well
cast as the brother. Louise Beaudet
and Carolyn Birch are two of the
deadly females with the babbling
tongues.
Miss Valentine, however, easily ear
ries off tho honors. She screens ex-
tremely we'll and she can act.

Eat More. Pay Less
Seems Paradoxical

At present S5 per cent Of the
weekly fish consumption comes on
Friday. This fact justified the ap-
plication of the peak-of-the-load ar
gument to the fish industry as at
present conducted. Get two other
fish dinner days into the week, and
you not only increase the consump-
ton, but you stabilize the business
and make 1t possible to reduce the
price.
Eat more and pay less.
1t sounds paradoxical, doesn't it?
But it sounds better than the old
plan of dumping good fish into the
bay. Some say these fish were
dumped to keep up the prices. Colo
mel Weinstock would put it the other
way: The keeping up of prices made
it necessary to dump the fish. The
market was inelastic. The retail
price was pretty much the same, and
always too high.
On the borders of an ocean tenn
ing with fish, people regarded them
as an occasional luxury. When I'M
expectedly large quantities of fish
came in, it was simpler TO waste
them than to make a special effort
TO get rid of them by low prices.
So now the State Of California Is
starting out to educate the people to
eat more fish in order that they may
pay less, and 1t assures them that by
virtue of its absolute control of the
situation they shall pay less if they
eat more.
All this has a scientific sound and
is quite different from the way the
government went at the general
problem of food this year. The gov
eminent encouraged the farmers to
unusual efforts to increase produc-
ton, and thereby created an unusual
opportunity for the spectators and
middlemen. California seeks to in
crease the volume of available sea-
food, but it keeps an eye on both
ends of the economic process. The
producer is rewarded for his effort,
the consumer is protected and bene.
flied and the middleman, who is not a
Spectator, certainly cannot COM
plain.
If fish can be handled successfully
in this way, why not other products?
The war is turning out to be a great
question box.
There Is no doubt that the Cali
fornia Fish Exchange will be sue.
cessful. It's plan was tried volun-
tarily before it had any legal au-
thority, and worked successfully I'M
til one of the larger wholesalers dis
rupted it by withdrawing. The
other wholesalers are heartily in
favor of the Fish Exchange. Now
the rule-or-ruin man can cooperate
or 60 out Of business. Nobody cares
which. He who was omnipotent is
now impotent.

Middlemen Get
80 Per cent Of Cost

as it unreasonable for the state
to fix the price Of what belongs to
1.-THE fish caught in the public
waters-the fish that it continually
re-stocksH" is the colonePs answer,
To make his new exchange bull
proof and hog-tight, as the farmers
say, the colonel fixes what the con-
sumner shall pay, what the retailer
shall pay and what the wholesaler
shall pay and the fishermen receive.
Tentatively the division will run for
most kinds Of fish about this wayi
Forty per cent Of the retail price TO
the fisherman, % per cent to the
wholesaler and 35 per cent to the re-
taller.
II will be noted that the Fish Ex-
change is not trying to put any one
out of business, and that, after all,
the middlemen get GO cents out of
every fish dollar. Even at that it is
expected that the new plan will
through increasing consumption,
abolishing speculation and promot-
ing stability of the business, reduce
the price Of fresh fish in San Fran
cisco to half what It has been.
High prices cause small consump-
ton, and small consumption causes
high prices. That is the vicious cir
Gle the California Fish Exchange has
undertaken to break. The same sort
Of vicious circle Is largely responsible
for food prices all over America to-
day. To reflect on this makes one
wonder whether wartime parsimony
is, after all, good thing. But then
war defes all rules, and is, indeed,
the overthrow of all rules but its
own. War is the negation of order
1t may, however, point the way to a
new order. That Is what the Cali
