EMPIRE.

Vivian Martin, who is to be seen, supported by Jack Picl1ford, in the Laslxy-Paramount production of The Girl at Ho1ne," at the Empire tonight, points with pride to the fact that real snow is used during some scenes in the picture. This doesn't seem to be an astounding statement unless one is familiar with conditions in Southern California where the production was photographed. There is no snow near the studio so Director Marshall Nedlan dispatched an automobile truck some fifty miles into the mountains to se- cure some. The truck was so equipped that the snow could be protected from the sun while travelling across the val ley. The first truck load was secured and the driver was flashing madly for the studio in the hopes that at least some of his precious load would reach its destination in q more or less solid form, when he hit r71t and broke an axle, and before it could be repaired, his. load o6 snow had vanished into shimrnering puddIes by the roadside. He went back, secured another load and then made the trip at night. Early the next morning the company was called and the scenes requiring the snow were photographed. When it was rumored around the studio that there was some snow on the lot, the venturesome spirits descended upon it and 1ndulged in a snow ball battle un- til there was no en0w left,

TRUST COMPANIES
 WILL JOIN RESERVE

Washington, April So-Assurances have been received by the federal re- serve board from scores of state banks and trust companies through out the country that they will enter the federal reserve system on the passage of amendments broadening the scope of the law, now before con- gress.
 At least 20 of the largest trust com panies and state banks have signified their intention of joining the system if the amendments pass. The amend ments have been favorably reported and their passage appears likely. Hundreds of smaller banks have indi- cated that they will follow the large institutions into the system, In Arkansas alone it Is said, virtually every one of the 180 state banks is ready to join,
 The largest state banks and trust companies reported to be ready to join the reserve system are in New York, Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, San Francisco, Detroit, Milwaukee, Atlanta, Seattle, Spokane and Port land, Ore.
 Less than 50 state banks and trust companies have joined the system during the three years of it's exist ence, All national banks under the law automatically passed to member ship and in addition approximately 100 state, banks and trust companies took national bank charters to come into the system.
 Approximately 7,6eo banks now are in the system and the number of state banks and trust companies including private institutions outside totals about 22,000. Not all those would join, nor would all be wanted, but in- dications are that the strongest and most desirable of the entire group will make application for membership. Re- sources of the system already, ap- proximately $16,00O.oo0,OoO, would be more than doubled.

PLAZA

We saw George M Cohens first screen production at the Plaza thea Ire last night. It was limitation of his greatest stage success, Broad way Jones' and having seen the stage version, we were naturally in mood for fau1t-fnding with the film ver- sion We thought that without the spoken word, the play would be a tf1ivver,'' to use the vernacular of the streets. We were happily surprised. We enjoyed it more than we did the stage version and we did no fault finding, you may be sure. We take this opportunity to congratulate the fellow who placed the Headers" as those lines between scenes are called in film parlance. We think him re- markedly clever and his sense of hu- nor kept us smiling when not laugh ing outright during the entire showing of the picture. George M. has added another triumph to his list of success full endeavorsHhe has f1naized refined comedy We doubt if it has ever been done before. They all resort to "slapstick." Before they treated us to the Conan picture. we saw "The Web of Life" a five act drama film which had been exploited as the other half of the much -heralded double feature bill. In it were starred James Cruze, Hilda Nord and James SouIe Spencer. It was a most un- common story and before we realized, we were "up-to-our-neck" in 1t. The theme is well developed, has plenty of sentiment and heart interest and the picture is finely acted.
 We feel, too, that some credit should be given the boys in the pit we mean the orchestra. There are a number of them and they give a good account of themselves with a well chosen music seore.
 Such a performance, carefully put on as tis, should bring credit to the management; also, financial gain. It is worth while seeing.

STAMFORD GROWERS FAVOR DAYLIGHT
 SAVING PROJECT

One of the committee chairmen of the Stratford Food Growers associa- ton has called attention to the fact that the proposed daylight saving reform would help to solve the acute problem of labor shortage If the clock was advanced one hour during the summer, there would be an extra hour of daylight for factory workers and farm help to work in the fields and in home gardens. This would practically double the spare working time of factory people during daylight and would be a clear gain.
 An effort is being made to induce local residents to write to Congress. man Ebenezer J. Hill and the two Connecticut senators, George P, Me. Lean and Frank B. Brandegee, Wash ington, to support the daylight saving bills introduced in Congress by Rep- resentative Borland of Missouri and Senator Calder of New York,

THE STRAND

One of the most popular stars in
 hlmdom, Clara Kmball Young, will
 be seen in the five part master screen production, The Price She
 Paid" which heads the select and en-
 tertaining program offered at the
 Strand theatre this afternoon and
 evening. The picture has been
 brought to this city by the manage
 ment of this theatre for the special
 one day engagement due to the many requests received from photoplay fans who were unable to witness tne play during it's few days engagement here Abouts some few weeks ago. The picture is one that at once grips and holds the attention of the most fas- tidfous screen spectator. Tine play was adapted to the screen from the celebrated novel of the samo name written by David Grahsm Phillips. Tne book sprang up as a best seller and a dramatization was arranged and the piece was played by many leading stock companies throughout thss country, Later, Miss Young, reading the book, saw possibilities for a thrilling and expressing screen play and the book was handed over to the scenario staff (after screening rights were obtained) and the scrip in turn handed to Albert Capellani, Miss Young's director in chief who set his right hand man, Director Gib- lyn, to work staging the master play. The result was far more than was expected and the production turned out to be one of the leading screen plays of the day. The story deals with a young giF1 who narries inte wealth and luxury but upon awak- ening finds that f e price she paid Is as nothing compared with the price she has to pay, It Is a drama that should be seen by all screen enthu- siasts end the star and the supporting cast of players are nicely fitted into theif respective roles.
