well as the colossal fortunes gained
by others from their energy and
skill, in my opinion no DISTINGUISHED
person who has made a careful study
OF the question can honestly say that
wages of skilled craftsmen in gem
eral are too high today, even for
peace time.
The fact is that on account Of
economic repression of various kinds,
workers prior to the war were not
in a position to secure anything like
the fair fruits Of their efforts from
employers. War necessity, shortage Of
labor supply, accelerated movement
in trade union organization and a
desire upon the part of the govern
ment, as we'll as many large en-
ployers, to deal justly with workers,
an have operated to bring wages to
the prc*cAt general standard.
"Whcn the cost Of necessities of
life dinini>heS to Il pre-War level
(Which l doubt will occur within less
than five years., then the workers
in the average industry will be re-

"The reconstruction problems in in

Starting tonight for three nights
the Columbia Will offer a new style
CT entertainment The management
has secured an act just off of the
Orpheum circuit. Professor Paftory,
one of the best accordionists on the
American stage Will render a popu-
lar program. Press notices through
out the country credit Professor
Paftory as a headliner wherever he
has appeared.
The double movie program will be
repeated again tonight. Douglas
Fairbanks and Little Mary McAlis
ter are the stars in the two stellar
attractions The Lamb is by far
one of the best pictures Fairbanks
has ever appeared in.
Perhaps no character is more per-
enially popular on either stage or
screen than the so-called boob" type.
The public enjoys laughing at a
character more than with him, and
the part of The Lamb lives fully
up to expectations in this regard.
The Lamb" has the merit of being
a real unusual boob, because in the
end he proves that he is distinctively
intelligent and red blooded. The
character of an overdressed molly
| coddle sounds much at variance with
| the Fairbanks known TO the screen
today, but it nevertheless is one Of
his most successful roles.

Matinee at Elks Today

At the k,lks theater this afternoon
the Ed. Redmond Musical Comedy COM
pany viii present "A Woman's Way"
The play is a fascinating combination
Of keen wit, spirited situations and
peppery musical interpretations. The
play has an especial appeal to the
ladies, for the action revolves about
young wife, who single handed. pro-
ceeds to tame a truant husband, and
how well she succeeds in her purpose
is cleverly told in the two engrossing
acts.
Among the big song hits will be:
The Song of a Soul "Troo-Loo Ra, :"
Mother Machree," Fancy You Fancy
ing Me" The Daughter of 3osie
O'Grady,' What Dixie Means TO Ne"
and Sometimes You Get a Good One. "
"A womans Way will be staged this
afternoon and again tonight and to-
morrow Afternoon and night for the last

ADJUSTMENTS


PROFESSIONALLY one of the greatest
screen values of the year finishes a
stay with performances today at the
Hip. "Rasputin, the Black Monk" in a
remarkably true story of the Fall of
the Romanoffs" The graphic story of
this unlettered peasant of Russia who
swayed the great empire of the Bear
with his religious teachings, who used
the cloak of hrs religion to cover one
of the blacklist hearts that ever beat
in breast of man. A licentious, lust
full product of the slums who coveted
woman and who spent his time in con-
quest fairly hypnotising the female
victims until he was sent 10 his DEATH
makes a tale of the screen that stands
alone. How this man charmed and
controlled the first woman of Russia
is now a matter of history, and the end
of the chapter which saw him sent to
oblivion marked the downfall of the
ear of all the Russias.
The World Film company has sup
piled a lavish display of costumes,
properties and settings for this pic
ture and the types used were selected
from the greatest available list of act
ors in New York. Rasputin Will finish
| today and gives way to The Bar Sin
lister" a picture of remarkable charm
and appeal.
What Is a Roundup?
If one were asked to define a round
up, there could be no more fitting def
milton than to say it lis historical re-
cording of all the scenes which have
long been associated with the west of
the long ago-the west that has formed
the locale for some of the best litera-
ture ever published the west that pro-
duced the cowboy, a specimen of hui
mainly that knows no rear of any horse
that ever stood on four feet the west
that produced that captivating bit OF
feminity-the cowgirl; the west that
produced the stage coach with its wild
flights across bandit infested areas
when swiftness meant safety; in short
the west that is fast disappearing.
Such scenes were those that made
up the Pendleton, Oregon, roundup
which Pathe photographed, and which
is being shown for the last time today
at the Lamara. To describe the many
hair raising, exciting and extremely
dangerous performances that were gone
through, would mean to meet the same
/ fate that has befell many writer's in
/ attempting to describe Il wild horse
race, for in the language of the street
1T can't be done" The Pendleton
/ Roundup is in reality an education
4 that is presented in an entertaining

motion picture. The Mack Sennett
