''Milady's Gowns" a big fashion
novelty act that stands out as one of
fhe greatest of modern vaudeville
acts. will be the headliner. In this
production Marcus IIoew will pre-
sent a wizard in the art of fashion
display, displaying, in a new and lfas-
cinating way, the wonders of present
day SartorialiSm. The production
stands out. of course, as a distinctly
feminine creation. Because of the
magnificance of the gowns. and the
novel way in which the display is
made, however, there will be enough
to amaze and to startle the masculine
division of audiences at Loew's Cres-
cent.
Clarence Wilbur, the happy tramp,
will be another attraction on the bill.
He is an entertainer of a rare type,
one of the pioneers of this brand of
fun, with makeup that stands out
as the only one of its kind. He has
voice of exceptional volume and
offers some of the latest song num-
bers.

a score of years ago. This power

never more strikingly shown than
during the present season. when few
theaters where the spoken drama is

This is happily pleasant to record,

THE CONSTITUTION

The submission of a prohibition
amendment to the federal constitution
to the states for ratification opens up
a new phase of legislation. All pre-
vious amendments have dealt with
policies of administration. All mat
ters relating to the public welfare
have hitherto been left to congress or
to the state legislatures.
There is much loose thinking about
the constitution nowadays-and a
good deal of it arises from the numer-
GUS proposals to amend that document
with the addition of matter which is
subject for statutory rather than con-
stitutional action. The fathers of the
republic purposely made the constitu-
ton difficult of amendment; but per-
sistence is overcoming difficulty.
What was designed as a charter of
rights may be endangered if it is to be
tinkered as tho it were merely a code
of police regulations.
When congress decided to curb the
use of narcotic drugs it did not sub
init an amendment to the federal con-
stitution to the states for endorsement.
IL peiSoCu a law WHICH DeCdIne erect
i've at once, instead of being delayed
six years. If congress be convinced
that the country wants a bone dry
statute why does it not enact one and
end the whole matter?
1t may be questioned that an
amendment to the constitution should
be favored which tends to weaken the
force of that instrument by making it
collection of statutes rather than an
outline of fundamental principles.
1t is remarkable that an amend
ment of this character should have
been adopted while the suffrage
amendment which concerns rights de-
MED to a large class of citizens cannot
obtain look in. There appears to be
no hesitation in trying to take from
/ the people rights which they have
held from the foundation of the gov
eminent but the lawmakers balk when
it is proposed to grant to one-haIf of
the citizens rights which have been
withheld from them since the founda-
ton of the world.
| Senator Calder of New York. pref
acing his negative vote on the prohi-
bition amendment with an -axplana-
ton said that he would never vote for
an alteration i'm the fundamental law
unless he felt certain that there was
an overwhelming demand for it on the
| part of the people of his state. This
Is an echo of the old states right doc
trine which still is strong in many
sections, and may turn the temporary
victory of the prohibition leaders into
a defeat
