Local Organization.
(Rv Associated PressN

East st. Louis. ILL.,, Oct. 31.-Ray
+. Rucker. assistant superintendent
Of the aluminium ore company, testi-
flying yesterday before the congress-
ional riot investigating committee,
said his company had been offered
immunity from labor troubles If the
company would pay $4,000 to a GER
tain man whose name he gave the
committee.
This man. he said, was not a un-
jon man but was the official Of an or
ganization formed at the plant after
the strike of last october.
Rucker testified that the man said:
The company cannot afford to
have a strike declared for $4,000.
am in position to prevent our pro-
tective association from jSining the
American Federation of Labor, and
going out on a strike, and / will do
1t If you will pay me SAC,
Rucker said his reply was that
neither he nor the company were in
the sand -bagging or bribing busi-
ness.
Rucker expressed the belief that
the riots were the result of lax law
enforcement in East st. Louis:

ent exponents of the true dramatic
art, Miss Ferguson brings to the
screen a rare personality and ADDS
greatly to its potency as high class
amusement. Miss Ferguson's career
on the stage started at the bottom.
Through characteristic persisteney
and hard work she has become one
Of the most popular actresses OF the
world. Her chaEacterizations in such
we'll known theatrical hits as Shirley
Kays, Such a Little Queen, Outcast,
and Margaret Schiller won her
particular prominence among the
hearts of American theatregoeTs.
In Barbary Sheep, adapted from
Robert Hichens most popular book
since The Garden of Allah, Miss
Ferguson is given a vehicle that not
only is particularly adapted to her
capabilities, but one that offers her
a most lavishly artistic background.
Under the direction of Maurice
Tourneur, the we'll known French
producer, some of the most elaborate
sets ever staged for a photoplay are
presented in novel display. The
romantic story of Algeria. which
tells Of the infatuatiOn of an English
noblewoman for a dark-skinned
army officer as told on the screen,
il is readily felt, will achieve great
er popularity than ever the book
experienced.
Twenty-six million newspaper
readers throughout the length and |
breadth of the United States, a large |
percentage of whom have probably |
not yet become regular screen pat
rons, many others who may never
have attended a picture show, will |
be told Of Paramount and Aircraft |
productions through the million dol |
lar advertising campaign in ap- |
proXimately 800 newspapers publish |
ed in eighty-two cities and having a |
combined circulation Of 100000. 1t |
is easily estimated that the remain !
ing 100000 will see these adver-
tisements which will in every in
stance carry prominently the trade !
marks of both Paramount and Art |
craft. These in turn will be used by |
exhibitors in their local advertising. |
They are obtainable from the COM |
pany's exchanges. This means liter |
ally that every corner of the country |
will be reached and that anyone who |
reads will see the announcements, |
learn to know q Paramount or Art |
craft picture by its Identifying mark |
and ask for these productions. 1t is |
the greatest chance the exhibitors |
have yet been offered to tie up def |
initely. with a campaign that as
sumes9 Importance equal to that of |
any great nationally exploited COM |
modify.
Emily Stephens dramatic powers
have. been put to the severest test |
she has ever experienced in A Sleep |
ing Memory, the Metro special pro- |
duction de luxe in which she will be |
seen at the Isis theater today. In |
this adaptation of +. Phillips OPP |
penheim's novel, this wonderful act |
ress is obliged to run the gamut of |
human emotions. and to depict wo- |
men of both good and evil tenden- |
cies, not only of the present day, but |
also in different periods of time |
throughout the history of the world. |
