"BABY MINE" MONEY MAKER

Plays come and plays go, but Baby
Mine" goes on forever. No farce of q
century has reaped half the success or
.conVulsed half as many people here
and abroad as has the Margaret Mayo
vehicle. An instantaneous hit when 1t
was first produced nearly ten years
ago, Baby Mime went on it's merry
way for five succeeding seasons with
out equal as a mirth- provoker. 1t was
presented by five companies during
the years of, its success as stage play.
When Margaret Mayo. with her
husband, Edgar SelWyn, cast her lot
with GoldWyn Pictures at the forma-
ton of the company, her ambition to
see two of her great stage successes,
Polly of the Circus, and Baby
Nine" produced for the screen, was
soon realized. Goldwyn, certain that
no other two plays would receive
greater popular approval, paid Miss
! Mayo the compliment Of filming both
her plays as its opening productions.
! And Baby Mime" in pictures prov
| ed as great an attraction to comedy
| lovers as it did in it's stage form.

DORIS KENYON IN MYSTERY.

Doris Kenyon, the winsome young
star who is appearing at the head
of her own company, De Luxe Pic
lures, Inc, in the delightful photo
play, ''The Street of Seven Stars" by
Mary Roberts Rinehart, is remark
ably we'll cast in the role of win
some young American girl violinist
who goes abroad in search Of a great
career and finds a greater love. She
is said to be equally we'll cast in

Moon," by Louis Joseph Vance. This
story is to be published later in
serial form in one of the leading
American magazines. A special Doris

ENVIOUS OF SNIFFTES?

Geraldine Farrar, now in Wyoming
at work on her second GoldwWyn Pic
ture, The Hell Cat" written for her
by Willard Mack, was confronted by q
problem when she prepared for her
long trip. To take or not to take
Sniffles-that was the question. Sniff
f1es is a dog, q Pekingese, and has
never been separated from his mis-
~tress a day. The Goldwyn star thought
however, that he had best stay at
home this time. AS her packing
progressed, Sniffles knew what was
>happening and his spirits arose hour
'by hour until the moment of depar-
ture and Miss Farrar said goodbye.
Then his disappointment was more
than the dog could stand nor could
The diva bear his grief So that's
why Sn1ffles is shifting the mountain
air and getting along splendidly for
tenderfoot, thank you

oRInGrNG HERSELF,

It is not the custom of fortunate
cinema, favorites to burden them
selves with bundles, yet Mabel Nor
ma.nd insists on carrying everything
she buys. She comes to the Goldwyn
Studios and frolfcs in with a separate
package depending from each of her
fingers not to mention a parcel tucked
under each arm. Of course, she is
quickly relieved of all she carries. She
says that nowadays no one should
have things sent from the shops, but
With her it is not altogether a war
thought. Always she has delighted in
carrying boxes and bags.

FATTY'S GIRL WINS

Roscoe 'Tatty' ArbuckIe's asser-
the bathing girl contest at Seal
Beach, a famous Southern California
summer resort, has been proven con-
cluslVely. Miss Peggy starr was the
girl and the bathing suit she wore was
a delicate one-picce affair which evil
IDENTIFY so dimmed the vision of the
Judges that they couldn't see the other
alluring contestants at all. Incident
ally the winning beach nymph draws
her weekly stipend from the ArbucIlle
company every Monday, so no wonder
Fatty was so sure about winning the
bathing beauty prize
Not only did the joviaI and rotrnd
comedian present the various cups of
SILVER TO the pretty vampires of the
sands, but he bestowed upon each
girl huge kiss He was ably assisted
IN this act by the mayor of the genial
little resort of Seal Beach who. de-
spite his three-score years. proved
himself a gentleman Of such ioyia1
hospitality that Fatty and the bathing
girls continued the entertainment with
a sum ptuous dinner and whatnot at
the Jewel City cafe.
Seal Beach loves wet" even as
much as the sleek, graceful creatures
from which the little resort derives it's
name. Recently the citizens voted
the town "wet' by an eight to one ma
jority, which only goes to show that
there are q few GASES to be found vet
even in Southern California.

MABEL NORMAND'S GOWNS

Trust Mabel Normand to be attired
smartly, no matter what role she un-
dertakes. Not that she wears silEen
rags when she is suppoCd to be in the
depths of poverty, nor does she plunge
into snoWdrifts clad in call attire. Not
that. She is too thorough. o little
artistic for that sort of thing. What
is meant is that Mabel NOrmand, in
cOstuming her heroines, contriVes al
ways to give the individual touch Of
smartness. Take her Stephanie Trent
for instance in Back to the Woods"
her newest GoldWyn comedy-dr drama
The daughter Of a wealthy man, she
goes to u logging camp and there be-
comes teacher of the village school,
No one suspects her identity, and her
trim little figure might he that of any
girl of moderate means. On close in
'spection, however, the sophisticated
ones Of the audience will see that
Stephanie's saucy little tam O -shanter
and sweater, and her snugly shod feet
and her simple dress are not so unas-
Stunning as they look.
They reflect the costly simplicity
affected by New Yorl1s cleverest
modistes. Just how costly this is
any girl knows if she has inquired the
price of apparently simple tri1es in
Fifth Avenue shops. Mable Normand
considers that nothing is too costly to
wear in her productions, and that in
view Of the exclusive character of the
creations to be found in the smartest
shops, it is not an extravaganza to de-
pend on them for her customs, down
to the smallest detail

LEMONADE FOR THREE.

Goldwyn's own Tom Moore and
'fSmiling BilI' Parsons, portly star of
Capitol Comedies, met the other day
at the GOldWyn Studios in Fort Lee
and promptly made an engagement to
spend the following Sunday on the
links. Both are inveterate golfers and
each had heard of the others skill.
Billie Rhodes promptly announced
herself as their caddy, which really
meant that she would be a sort of vi
vandiere, carrying a little cask Of lem

The Motion Picture War Service
association, recently formed in Los
ANGELES and spreading in its scope
throughout the nation to every city,
own or hamlet where pictures are
Ahown, is responsible for the coming
Entertainment, which will be held
bn August at the Shrine audi
oriuna 1t will be a mask ball.
To be real benefit, there must be
honey in sight, and because the mo-
ion picture people are firing of the
constant bazaar and booth calls, such
attractions will be done away with in
his case, and one lump sum will
be taken at the door. The price of
Omission is to be So.
It's going to be somewhat of an
Exclusive affair, too for the announce
snents read that no one but motion
picture people will be allowed to at
end and they will be there only on
Invitation. The invitations will be is
sued on request and proof that the
swould-be guest is an honest-to-good-
ness moving picture person.
With a month behind it as an or
ganization, the Motion Picture War
Service association is now in full
swing, establishing salvage stations
Ind workrooms in each of the studios
and arranging for a doubling of war
work among all the people employed.
The committee in charge Of the
masquerade has not yet issued any
announcement as to the thrills to
be- given, although it is certain that
here will be new stunts and much
bf interest to the people of the art.
However, a distinguished list of
1lm players have already promised to
participate in the big doings. Among
hem are Fannie Ward, Ruth Roland,
Betty Compson, little Marie Osborne,
Bessie Love, Bebe Daniels, little
Gloria Joy, and Easter Walters.

A MOVIE KISS.

I went last night
To see Mabel Normand
In her newest play,
THE Floor Below
And while [ didn't
See where it gets
It's name, I saw why
Tt is that Mabel is
A bowling success
She is a little imp
That climbs walls
And steals watches
And fries eggs
And shoots craps
And steals hearts
With the same ease.
Just as she was
kissing Tom Moore
The lights went out.
The minutes-passed,
Ten, twenty, thirty.
The lights came back.
There on the screen
Was Tom kissing
Mabe1-he had been
Doing it all that time.

shutting off raw material from recall
citrant industry, is pledged to the en-
forcement of this plan" says the Secre-
tary of Labor.
Central recruiting will not cover the
railroads except in SO far as the Director
General orders. Nor will it cover farms,
non-war Industries and industries en-
ploying 100 men or less.
In withdrawing labor from non-war
industries series of priorities will be
determined.
State employment agencies will be
merged with the Federal system.
BY cooperation with the War Indus
tries Board the railroad and fuel ad.
mnistrations. recalcitrant employers
will be deprived of raw materials, fuel
and transportation.
So far as the rest of its programme
is formulated, it may be said now that
the War Labor Policies Board, besides
unifying control over recruiting and dis
trbution of labor, will work out stand
ards of wages for war work, survey the
conditions under which labor is employed
and try to adapt to actual practice the
complexities of the eight-hour day where
ever the law compels it in government
work
The board is composed Of representa-
tives of all governmental agencies re-
sponsible for the production Of war
goods. Representatives of the navy,
the army, the Shipping Board, the
Emergency Fleet Corporation, the fuel
administration, the food adn1inistra-
ton, the War Industries Board, the rail
road administration and the Depart
ment of Agriculture will meet weekly
to consider problems common to all,
usually presented through various COM
mittees, after first hearing all those af-
fected by the principles proposed.
Through this assemblage what the Pres
ident has called "the voice of the in
dustrial agencies of the government" is
heard
All that is lacking is the money to
carry out the plan. The Senate COM
inittee is now debating whether it shall
give the United States Employment Ser
vice $7,500,000, which it needs, or the
inadequate sum of 81 100000, which the
House committee thought was all II
ought to have.
If the plan succeeds it will be price
less in terms of war efficiency.

The Mad Brute

All the gathering horror of the sink
ing of the Llandovcry Castle fits in with
what we have come to know as the Ger
brutality, coupled with blind and
stupid trickery, as in some great mon
ster gone mad yet retaining instincts
Of jungle cunning. The spectacle of a
submarine nosng about amid the wreck
age of her victim, shelling survivors in
lifeboats or clinging to spars or matches,
is Germany at her darkest and truest.
There seems little question that Ger
many has here embarked upon policy
Of sinking hospital ships. She has sunk
enough of them before, but the present
stands out as different act. There
seems to have been a clear intention to
manufacture a pretended excuse in the
discovery of alleged aviation officers
and, failing that, to sink all on board,
"spurlos uersenkt." 1t is the same sort
Of blatant hypocrisy with which Ger
many has sought to Justify every one Of
her violations of the rules Of civilized
warfare or common decency. When hy-
pocrisy does not succeed, barbarity is
called upon to finish the job.
And this is the same Germany whose
Foreign Minister had the cheek to stand
up in the Reichstag and speak Of a
mutual confidence in one another's S
honesty and chivalry." What i'll luck
that this one boatload Of survivors lived
to tell their tale! Perhaps, after all,
God rather than Gott presided over
those dark waters where sank the Liam
dovery Castle, her Red Cross lights blaz-
ing above a boatload of mercy

Out in Time

Senator Browns announcement that
he will not seek reelection is one which
can be borne with equanimity by the Re-
publicans Of the state. No one will ques-
ton his ability, and his honesty has been
admitted even by his enemies. Neverthe-
less. Senator Brown, as Republican lead
er, has been liability to his party and
a hindrance, so far as his personal and
political position would admit to pro-
gressive government. Not only is he not
indispensable, as he himself says, but
the public will be better off without him
in Office.
The reasons Senator Brown gives for
his retirement are interesting, but not
important. HIS feud with Governor
Whitman was partly personal, partly po-
litical; but it was not one to drive man
of his known pugnacity and tenacity to
retire from fight or to give up an
Office he liked. He came much nearer to
telling the real reason when he said be-
fore election that if woman suffrage car
ried he would not again go to Albany.
He was bitter opponent of equal suf-
frage. He fought long and hard to
break down wise and beneficial labor
laws, so that women and children work.
ing in factories would have been deprived
of protection they now have. He was Of
the old school," out Of sympathy with
present-day characterization of politics
and state policing of industry for the
leneft of the workers to prevent OK
rloitation by unscrupulous EMPLOYERS.
Independent himself to the point Of
crotchetiness, he nevertheless believed in
and adhered to boss methods in politics
and legislative tactics.
This point of view and these tactics
are not gone from public life, but they
are going. No man in office can be COM
Portable if he is of that type, and the
political party which has such men as
its leaders is bound to suffer. Senator
Brown got out, and wisely If he hadn't
it was merely a question of time when
he would have been put out.
New-York tribune., 1918-07-03

Hearst magazines were allowed to pass,
but copies of all such messages were re-
quired to be transmitted at once by wire to
the press censor. In the case of the In
ternational Feature Service of comic strips
and other illustrations, which are used ex
tensively by Canadian newspapers, these
were allowed to come in to The British and
Colonial Press, Toronto, but or condition
that they be submitted in proof for the
censors approval before being distributed.
After this action by the censor the wheels
moved rapidly. The Postoffice Department
prohibited transmission of the Hearst news
papers in Canada on and after November
H. The Hearst magazines were not allowed to
circulate until censored. All the provin-
cial authorities instituted a special lookout
for motion picture releases OF the Interns-
tional Film Company, with the result that
the Hearst film services were barred in the
principal provinces and in all others care
fulwatch was kept for obj bjectionable features.
Under this mandate most severe action
was taken against the circulation of Hearst
made papers in Canada. It's severity is an
index Of the menace that Canada felt
Hearst's papers to be. And the fact that
this particular portion of the mandate is
still in force bears unmistakable witness to
the hostile attitude toward Hearst of the
Dominion government to-day
From the day of official action, November
II, 1916, to this date, any one-Canadisn or
aiien-found with copy Of Hearst paper
on his person has been liable to fine Of up
TO $4,000 or imprisonment up to five years
or both.

Work, Fight or Jail

The success of the state anti floating
law and the Federal work or fight regu-
lation is to be seen not in the number of
arrests, but in the length of the lines out
side the public employment agencies. On
the first day of the new order of affairs
nearly 5000 individuals were registered
and more than 5000 applicants were ex-
amincd. Of these, 1,465 men were sent
to jobs. Yesterday, the second day, the
lines of applicants reached for blocks,
and squads of policemen were required to
maintain them. 1t was estimated that rs
per cent of the applicants were in non
essential employments or were Temporal
rily out of work
Ut course, there is a certain confusion
about the operation of the new measures.
Men are leaving non-essential occupa-
tions before they need to do so, and for
time the employment agencies will have
difficulty in enabling industry to "assimi
late" them Nevertheless, this may be
Strengthened out in few weeks Mean
time it is TO be noted that men out of
work are making extra efforts to have
themselves registered, and others who
undoubtedly have heretofore had no keen
ness for labor of sny sort are now find
ing themselves willing to let the authori
ties provide jobs for them.
The net result is distinctly encourag-
ing. Unskilled labor is at premium in
factories here and in nearby communi
ties. The Federal Employment Service,
once it has the individual on its lists, NAV
place him here or elsewhere, according to
the demand. The new supply may not be
permanent but at present it is decidedly
welcome and out Of all the applicants
New-York tribune., 1918-07-03
will come an appreciable addition to the
country's workers from those whose work
heretofore has been no real contribution
to the winning Of the war.

In these turbulent days people are apt
to be careful about the company they
keep. Newspaper men are no exceptions
to the rule. David Lawrence, Washing
ton correspondent for "Thc New York
Evening Post" whose articles are syndi-
Gated in eighteen cities, has caused the
transfer Of his daily comment from the
columns of the Hearst Brisbane "Wash-
ington Times" to the respectable and pa
trotic washington Star" The contract
with "The Times," which expired last
week, was entered into when that paper
was under the Munsey ownership. Now
both Lawrence and the Evening Post
Company have decided that no Hearst
paper or paper which bears the Hearst
taint shall carry the service. They have
grasped that you cannot touch Hearst
without getting some of it on you.
