On the Screen

"The He'll Cat" at the Strand is
rather suggestive of Ceylon's isle. The
locations are much more attractive
than the people. Against backy
ground of rare natural beauty story
is unfolded which is brutal and lust
full and not very thrilling. For tale
of ravishment it is singularly tame
or course the theme gives Geraldine
Farrar an opportunity to bite a ruff
fan in the wrist and generally show
her skill in the catch as catch-can
vividly, but there is little fnesse in
her work and perhaps no opportunity
for it. We rather fear that Miss
Farrar is not living up the very bril-
liant screen promise of her gorgeous
Carmen. In her later appearances in
the motion pictures she has never ap-
preached within many miles of that
mark.
Milton Sills is the leading man in
"The He'll Cat" and gives an effective
performance.
"The He'll Cat" tells q story of
Western bad man who kills the father
OF the heroine and abducts her, only to
meet his death at her hands after he
mas Wrohged her. lhere is some good
shooting and scampering across open
places, but the scenes in which the
heroine struggles with her captor are
neither very edifying nor interesting.
The comedy feature is called The
Strike Breakers" and while it's humor
is bit rudimentary it at least poses
ses coherent plot, which is none too
common in film comedies.

Anxiety Over Jobs
Wrecks Morale of
Girl Aids at Capital
WarDepartment Has F Found
No Solution of Problem of
Workless Women
Tribune Wuskangton Bureau

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.--The War
Department is working on plan to
solve the problem of jobless girl war
workers that will soon be reality in
Washington. No real solution for the
matter appears to be forthcoming so
far.
Bernard Barueh, chairman Of the
War Industries Board, has promised
the persons in his employ that if they
will resign he will give them two weeks
pay, transportation to their homes and
recommendation for other jobs. How
ever, the War Department and several
other departments say they cannot af-
ford to treat their employees so we'll,
much as they might like to do so.
For several days the work of govern
ment departments has been almost COM
pletely demoralized by the anxiety Of
the girls over what Is to become of
them. Personnel heads have been put
to it to find some way Of overcoming
this drop in morale.
The employment service Of the De-
partment of Labor to-day telephoned to
business Offices and some private con-
Germs in Washington asking whether
each could use an extra girl or two.
"Do you need a new stenographeY 2"
and eve thought perhaps your work
would be heavier now and you would
like to take on one Of the girls being
let out from government work." we're
the employment service suggestions.
However, the city already has plenty of
girls to till these places, and it is doubt
full whether many will be looked out for
satisfactorily in this way.
In the War Department, where the
situation is most acute, the 5000 ord
nance girls probably will be let out
early in the year. Other services where
girls are employed are aircraft produc-
ton, quartermaster generals office, ad-
jutant generals office and signal corps
The quartermaster departments work
will probably retain it's war workers
longer than any other. One of the girls
in that branch said to-day that she ex-
pected to begin to worry over her job

Music
An American Violinist PIays
in Aeolian Hall
BY II. f. Krehbiel

II has seemed of late to the report
ers of musical doings in the metropo-
lis that. we are living in a period when
musical artists are as numerous as
were all manner of dignitaries in that
country. Of which Gilbert and Sullivan
sang in "The Gondoliers" when
Lord Chancellor's were as cheap as
sprats,
And Bishops in their shovel hats,
Were plentiful as tabby cats.
In point of fact, too many ambassa-
dors cropped up like hay,
Prime ministers and such as they,
Grew like asparagus in May.
AND dukes were three a penny"
This was all because there was a
good natured King who, aiming to ad-
vance the genera. veal, "to the TOD of
every tree promoted everybody" only
to discover that his philanthropic
Scheme for the obvious reason that
when every one is somebodee
Ihen no ones anybody"
That is the trouble just now with
our musical world. Pianists and
Noiinsts are so multitudinous and in
the multitude there are so many whom
publicity agents and managers seek to
promote to the top of the tree tha,
1t becomes difficult to assign them
varying rank. In many cases fortunate
ly, where there is no marking of ex-
tiaordlnary distinction, there is some
Sign of Individuality which enlists a
special interest. There is Mr. Samuel
Gardner, for instance, a violinist who
gave recital yesterday afternoon in
Aeolian Hall. He is not stranger to
cur public. because he has been heard
repeatedly, not only as solo per
former but in the dignfed company
OF chamber musicians, as an associate
Of the kncisel Quartet and lately as
the leading member, if so the violinist
can be termed, of the Elshuco Trio.
That is one of his distinctions, and a
high one. Another is that he is not
pupil of Auer. We have outlived the
Llszt pianoforte progeny, but the Auer
pupils threaten to become as numerous
as they and the Sevcik violin brood
cnce werc. Mr.. Gardner is an Ameri-
can and he received his training at the
hands of Mr.. Kneisel, who has been
an American for whole generation.

Christie Mcdonald at

made at the Palace Theatre this week
to meet the alleged upward trend of

Hughes remain for a second week of
their pleasing dances. An all-star cast
Of seven girls offer novelty, What

in tests in class work in addition the
errors were reduced from fifteen in fif-
teen minutes to none in five minutes.

Drama
"Oh, My Dear Fills Its
Place in the Princess
Set
By Haywood Broun

"Oh, My Dear" seems to belong in
the procession of Princess Theatre
musical shows, although it may not be
placed in the front rank. Like the
other Bolton Wodehouse pieces, it pos
sesses a sustained and amusing plot
and a dialogue which is generally hu-
morous despite a tendency to over
elaboration. Kern, the musical mem
Der of the team, has been replaced by
Louis A. Hirch. Rhythm is the spe-
cialty Of Hirsch rather than melody,
although one number called "Phoebe
so%sdv snqw is t1n almost o syerything musical mus
the score is lifting and should suffice
TO keep the dancers going for a sea-
son, even though it may never attain
The hand organs.
Probably the omission of any de-
tailed synopsis of the plot will be
pardoned when the explanation is
made that it is one of those things in
which everybody thinks that Broadway
Willie is Bruce Allenby and vice versa.
Joseph len is the most amusing
member Of the cast. Next in order OF
merit comes Miss Juliette Day, who
played Modesty in "Everywoman" be-
fore she went into musical comedy.
Joseph Santley and Ivy Sawyer attend
20 the dancing prcttily and they also
sing. Roy Atwell helps out in the
comedy and also contributes a topical
song. Other members of the cast who
deserve honorable mention are Georgia
Caine. Frederick Graham, Miriam Col
Inns and Helen Clarke. The chorus
and costumes are pretty and effective
and the settings are so so.
ooh, My Dear" is light and amusing
and tasteful which is about all that
anybody should ask of a musical COM

Opens Embassy in Swiss Hotel
Nine Rosika Schvvimmer. Representing Hungary says
She Debated Question Four Days Before Accepting
Post Later Will Give 1t to Man

BERNE, Nov. 25 (By The Associated
Press).-Mme. Rosika Schwimmer, of
Ford peace party fame, who has ac-
cepted the post of Hungarian Minister
to Switzerland being the first WON
an to receive such all appointment, de-
clared to the correspondent to-day she
had debated the question four days be-
fore accepting this mission. Her
natural inclination as a feminist urged
an immediate acceptance, but, she said,
the situation was so grave she ques-
toned herself at length as to whether
her appointment would embarrass the
Swiss authorities.
Found No Opposition
When she found there was no ap-
parent opposition, she accepted, with
the provision that she could return to
Hungary and enter Parliament as soon
as the situation was more normal and a
suitable man could be selected to sue
ceed her.
The first woman diplomat has
taken quarters in we'll known hotel
in Berne and has transformed one room
into an Office.
The food needs Of Hungary, she said,
were nowhere near urgent" There is
danger owing to the lack of coal. she
added. Difficulties in the northern and
southern sections of the old Austro-
