F Factories Are Like
Great Towns

The work of policewomen in munition
factories demands an article to itself.
The modern munition factory in Great
Britain, as in the United States is h
town rather than building. 1t sprawls
over many acres of ground; it is some-
times two miles from gate to gate; it
consists partly Of big buildings roaring
with machinery and partly of little
lonely huts inhabited by one or per.
haps two workers. so that when the al
most inevitable accident comes tn.
number of victims shall be as small as
possible. But the roads of the Ameri
can factory may be we'll lighted at night
when their thousands of workers pour
in or out of the great gates, or the
lonely workers make their way along
muddy paths or slippery plank plat
forms to their night-long task. In our
country the air raids, first by Zeppelins
choosing moonless nights, now by aero.
planes, the less dreaded, because when
we hear their drone we can see one an
cther's faces, have made munition fac
tories from the first cities of darkness.
In this darkness lurk many perils.

asked their aid but Miss Damer Daw-
son and Miss NJ. S. Allen saw tn cir op-
portunity, and despite much discourage
ment succeeded in forming n corps Of
fifty trained, drilled. uniformed women
within a year of the outbreak Of war.
Training is Miss Damer Dawson's hrst
principle; no demand for women police
will induce her to relax her rule Of
careful selection and most rigorous
training for members of her force. In
1916 the government demanded women
police for the munition factories, and
for six months the whole staff Of the
service was employed in training these
new state servants. but not until six
months later did the government give
grant toward this training. 1t Is our
pride that this movement, like SO much
of the humane war work Of this coun-
try, was the child of voluntary effort.
and that the evolution of the whole
scheme was the spontaneous idea Of
women themselves. But we hope to see
a women police department Of state in
stituted in the near future.

didn't say anything like that to US. He
pretended that he had read what we

He really didn't say very much that
we can put in our story, so we shall get
square with him by telling how he looks
instead. There is an ambiguity in that
sentence that is not entirely flattering
to Mr.. Hamilton, but we certainly didn't
mean it that way.

How strange it is that Hale Hamil-
ton, with his expert knowledge of 'get
rich quick" methods, has never before
thought to 70 in the movies! We say
never before, for now he is full
fledged movie actor, or at least he will
be tomorrow morning at $3.50, when
he steps in front of the camera up at
the Metro studio, in Sixty-first Street.
We take it for granted that Mr..
Hamilton is going to be on time, and
probably he will be, because it is the
first day, and one always is on time for
anything the first time, whether it be
matrimony, matriculation or movies.
While we were waiting for Mr.. Ham
iltOn we sat down in "set" and looked
around US. And there, right before our
eyes and looking as though she might
just have been anybody, was Ethel
Barrymore. It's funny, but Ethel Bar
rymore and Geraldine Farrar and peo-
pie like that never seem to think any
thing about who they are. And then
presently in came Olive Tell and Emmy
Wehlen and Lucille Lee Stewart and
Ralph lnce. Now, fancy sitting in a
"set" with such an aggregation Of

And finally MIR. Hamilton came In,
and we soon learned that he doesn't
think anything about who he is, either.
We have found out in our astronomical
researches that the stars who have
been on the stage and the screen are
much more interesting to study than
those who have merely been on the
screen.
MIR. Hamilton was very nice, but he
evidently wished to save US unneces-
sary trouble, so he told US right away
that we couldn't interview him.
Really. you know, should love It,"
he said. in that nice, easy, English
voice that most actors and all Lambs
have. III should, indeed; only, you
know it isn't possible. never say any

This put US on our mettle, and we
resolved that we would interview Mr..

position as m. p. e. So sure was he
that he wagered US pass to the Metro

office that we should not be able to get

One Singer Finds
No Need to Roam

This is now the third year in which
John Charles Thomas, who is playing
the leading role in the Messrs. Lee and
j. ]. Shubert Chicago production of
"Maytime" at the Broadhurst Theatre,
has lent his fine presence and voice
to musical productions staged by the
Shuberts. But during these three years
Mr.. Thomas has confined his activities
to New York. Chicago and Philadelphia,
u truly remarkable performance when
one considers that every professional
must sooner or later take to the road.
Not SO, Mr. Thomas Broadway would
appear to be his home. During his last
appearance in New York announce
ment was made that MIR. Thomas in
tended to forsake light opera for grand
opera. but fortunately the Shuberts
prevailed upon the barytone to change
his mind and accept another long-term
contract under their management
Mr.. Thomas came originally from q
small Pennsylvania village. His father
was a Methodist minister and wanted
his son to follow in his footsteps.
Having no fondness for the Church,
however, Mr.. Thomas took up the study
of medicine, but even this profession
bored him, so he decided to take advan-
tage of his rich barytone voice and
study for the stage. A three-year
course in the Peabody Institute helped
him to realize his ambition.
