Earle Williams at Palace Tomorrow.

The title role of "Arsene Lupin." the Vitagraph Blue Ribbon feature which was directed by Paul Scardon and which is the headliner at the Palace tomorrow offers Earle Williams role much to his liking.
 Perhaps never before in his success ful stage and screen career has MT. Williams created a part that was more natural-more living and true to life He has made the notorious gentle man crook a characterization that will live always in the minds of his au- dience.
 Just enough daring has been sprin- kled into the polish and veneer of his society manner to suggest his true character. Then. too, the ego with which all masters are credited is most cleverly portrayed. His intense desire 10 expose himself just so that he may again escape capture through some dar- ing scheme is always evident but nev- CT tiring.
 In the role of "Arsene Lupin" Mir Williams proves that he is worthy oi the praise which has always been ac- corded him in the photoplay world.

Blanche Sweet Is the Star at Dream.

Public Opinion" Blanche Sweet 2 newest photoplay for the Jesse l.. Las ky Feature Play Company. opens for the screen an entirely new theme. This comes to the Dream tomorrow opening with the matinee. In this melodrama of social conflict, Miss Sweet appears as young woman nurse wrongfully ac- cused of murder. The hand of justice unseen in the every day world but visible in film, stalks through the drama to the climax. finally pointing the way for the freedom of the accused and the conviction of the guilty.
 In characters of this sort Miss Sweet already occupies in the memories oi motion picture enthusiasts & unique place. Her remarkable performance in the dual personality in "The Secret Sin and again in the Lasky- Belasco production "The Case of Becky mark her as one especially suited for the portrayal of the occult.
 Not the least distinguished feature about Public Opinion" is the manner in which the story keeps entirely away from the sordid.

 Gwendoyn. the ':ooor little rich girl" is called for her wealth and material forts and her poverty in the happiness and affection she cravcs. She is full blooded little girl, but as is often the case in real life, is denied the actual pleasures of childhood through her selfish parents who are too busy with their own ambitions to realize that their child is unhappy A tragic incident brings realization to the par ents and the doctors prescription of plenty of play, to be taken in Il ging- ham dress is immediately acted upon, and love. as we know him with a quiver and bow. leads three loving hearts over the hill of shadow into the valley of sunshine.
 In addition to it's other merits, "A Poor Little Rich Girl'' offers rare op- portunties for artistic effects. The limitations of visualizing the story, which were placed the stage pro- duction and which are readily evident to the many thousands who have read the nocel or seen the play. have been removed through the possibilities of the screen, and it is generally felt that al- though the success of both the book and the play has been great, the sub- ject as presented on the screen with Mary Pickford in the title role, will only now actually come into its own

The regular movie man of The Elm Dire is going to take a vacation, be- ginning tomorrow, and if perchance his s going to slip this in at the head of the column and tell the managers of the movie theatres, on both sides of the channel. that he has appreciated the cordial relations that have existed. The movie column of The Empire has been ] daily feature for almost a year and l half. The movie editor has tried to the managers and the public. When criticism has been given, it has been the opinion of one man, the same as Alan Dale, of the New York World. and other critics, have exercised. No man is perfect. his views are individ- ual, but as the critics are supposed. and generally are, well versed in their line of business. they see both sides of all productions and give their honest opinion and the public and the man agers must judge accordingly. 1t has been a pleasure to run the. movie col lmn for the movies have come to stay. They are the recreation of hundreds of thousands because they are in the reach of all purses. It is therefore a pleasure to chronicle the happenings. the movements of the various stars who are so much to the amusement loving people.

| speech has not been denied them in
Everett, except on certain corners, as
is true in practically every American
city. Mass meetings addressed by
their leaders were held prior to No
vember 5th in the City park and a
block from the main street without
molestation.
Statements such as the one issued
by the so-called Industrial Relations
Committee, false both as to facts and
conclusions, are only intended to ere
ate sympathy for lawbreakers and to
mislead public opinion"
They say the Verona carried 26O,
all |. w. WIS (this is not true), and
that the officers are assured IA of
them carried guns and are, therefore,
in jail on a charge of murder.
Then if 1876 came to Everett to
fight, it seems strange they came
unarmed.
Thumb print experts were brought
from Walla Walla to examine the pris-
oners with the evident intention of
creating public opinion against them.
1t is claimed that 8 of the "A were
found to have criminal records. What
they may have done before November
5 should have little to do with this
case. If any of them are criminals
they have received their punishment
or they are escaped convicts and
should be returned to prison to finish
their sentences.
If it be admitted the I. w. WIS on
the Verona would have been per-
mitted to hold a meeting one block
from Hewitt avenue or in a park, why
were they not allowed to do so? They
were not allowed to land, and this was
violation of law.
If representative of the Commit
tee on Industrial Relations had been
here on November the newspapers
of the United States would have re-
ceived a truthful statement of the
terrible conditions existing in Everett
that would have revealed more than
one mob of lawbreakers.

SUGAR vs.. HOUCK
THE MAIN EVENT
Murry-COle Bout Expected to be
a Battle from the Tap of the
GOng-Reeves Back Again.

When the gong sends the boys to-
gether Tuesday, January %, Everett
fans will see their favorites pitted
against some of the best fighters in
this section. Sugar, Everett's will
ing lightweight, will try to lower the
colors of the shifty Leo Houck of
Seattle. The willingness of these two
boys have made them favorites with
the fight fans, and good bout is ex-
pected. Sugar is training hard for
this fight and promises to bring home
the bacon.
hurry and Cole are new to the Ev-
erett fans, but those who saw these
boys in their bout at the last Elk's
Smoker in Seattle are awaiting the
opportunity of see these fast boys in
action again, this promises to be a
bout we'll worth seeing.
There is much interest shown in
the Reeves-F Fitzgerald bout. Fitzger-
aid is the fast youngster who has been
making all the 122 pound boys step
lively, and has chance with any of
them. In Less Reeves he will meet
the best boy he has gone against up
to the present. Reeves will give a
good account of himself, as he always
does. His last fight in Everett was
before the Eagles Club some months
ago, when he knocked out Pollock of
Tacoma in thirty seconds. Reeves
has just returned from Spokane and
is hard at wrok preparing for his
fight
The preliminaries will be between
local boys and promise to rival the
main events in action.
The card surely looks good.

WHAT'S THIS?

Now comes the news that several
stockholders in the Sumner Iron
Works are vigorously kicking be-
cause the raise in wages recently
made by the managers of that insti-
tuition because they have never re-
ceived a cent in dividends. The stock
holders cannot see how wages can be
raised when there is no money to pay
dividends. But the management did
announce that the raise was made,
and in the language of the late la
mented Postum Cereal Grape Nuts
Post, 'there's a reason" Maybe war
prices, big contracts and open shop
don't work we'll together. From all
the racket that has been made about
the open shop, many people were led
to believe that was the only plan by
which an industrial institution could
be made to pay.
Of the S19,711.24 raised by the
Commercial Club last year, it is sus-
pected that too much was spent on
the open shop campaign. Maybe that
is why the Commercial Club doesn't
pay. They are out now following for
more money with which to run the
town and everything in it.

ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT
WRITING HISTORY

The Seattle Star of January II
nrints letter addressed to every
newspaper in the United States pre-
senting their side" of the case which
has resulted in the arrest of seventy
four l. w. WIS on a charge of murder
whose trial has commenced in the Su-
perior Court of this county.
Following are extracts from the
letter. which was signed by the Mayor
ex-Sheriff Don McRae and President
Dan Currie of the Everett Commercial
Club. and comments thereon:
"Under the name of the Commit
tee on Industrial Relations No 800
Broadway, New York City, a com
munication has been sent to the press,
purporting to give the real facts OF
the [. w. W. trouble in Everett. The
value of this statement may be judged
uroperlv when it is known that Frank
p Walsh. chairman Of this commit
tee was the first man sought by the
I W. w. to defend those arrested for
murder. AT the same time the state
ment itself is so glaringly false that
we desire to set forth the real facts
in the case, particularly inasmuch as
the trials Of the "a l. w. VS. held
in the Snohomish County Jail for muir
der will be held in January and will
he Of national Importance. Therefore,
this statement to assist you in han
dine the news"
The statement given out by the
Committee on Industrial Relations is
not elaringly false. but so far as the
main facts are concerned is too near
the truth to suit the delicate sensibil-
tiles of the sawdust aristocrats who
own the mills and the Commercial
Club
