U. s. TO DIRECT THE LABOR
PROPOSITION.

The following letter has been re-
ceived from the U. S. Department of
Labor:
Editor St. Tammany Farmer:
Dear Strive beg to direct your
attention to the plans of the U. S.
Employment Service, and to direct
he great effect which this program
will have upon the industrial life of
he Nation.
On August l, the supplying Of war
Industries with common labor will
be centralized in the U. S. Employ
ment Service of the Department of
Labor, and all Independent recruit
ing of common labor by manufactur-
ers having a payroll Of more than
100 men will be diverted to the U. S.
Employment Service. This is in ac-
cordance with the decision of the
War Labor Policies Board and ap-
proved by the President on June II.
(The War Labor Policies Board is
composed of Representatives of the
War, Navy and Agricultural Depart
ments, the Shipping Board and the
Emergency Fleet Corporation, the
War Industries Board, and the Food,
Fuel, and Railroad Administrations.
It's chairman is Felix Frankfurter,
Assistant TO the Secretary of Labor.)
The above action was found neces-
sary to overcome a perllCus shortage
of unskilled labor in var industries.
This shortage was aggravated by an
almost universal practice Of labor
stealing and poaching.
While the restrictions against the
private employment of labor apply
only to common labor at the present
time, these restrictions will, Is soon
as possible, be extended t. include
skilled labor In the meantime re-

Madge Kennedy on
Matinee Idolatry

Madgc Kennedy, star Of "Our Little
Wife," tho Goldwyn perturbation OF
Avery Hopwood's play, now featured at
tho Strand Theatre, asserts that her
matinee idol is none other than Mary
| Garden.
What's more, Miss Kennedy is per-
fectly certain that almost all women
have some favorite actress rs their
matinee idol, instead of an actor.
"Just let any one Of half dozen
women stars announce a special matt
nee on day when most Of the other
theatres are closed" says man who
knows, "and you will see the greatest
collection of women of the stage and
screen assembled that could be found
anywhere. On the other hand, let a
man star announce a special matinee
and, of course, he'll get some of them,
but you are not likely to find the S. r
0. sign out"
Thus are idols shattered and, barking
back to Madge Kennedy, her fondness
for Mary Garden dates from the day
the singer first stepped into the Gold
wyn studio at Fort Lee. Since that
first meeting the little coincidence has
never been enirely happy unless her
leisure is spent with Miss Garden
"Our Little Wife" is an exciting matri-
monial adventure, said to be done in the
liveliest Hopwood manner The cast
includes George Forth, William David
son, Wray Page, Kempton Green, Wal
ter HERS and Marguerite March.
"The Horse in Action" will be pro
jected in natural colors, as will "Rac-
madour and the Valley of Lot" &
beautiful scenic study. A new com.
edy, educational features and the
Strand Topical Review, containing new
ly arrived pictures Of our troops or
the battlefelds of Europe and news
pictures from home and abroad, will
also be shown.
The Strand Symphony Orchestra will
play "The Flying Dutchman" overture
Anita Tagelli, soprano, and Antoine les
caut, barytone, will render duet from
"Rigoletto," and Karl Formes, barry
tone, who will make his first appear

Trumpeteer," in which special scenic
and electrical effects will be displayed

Vestal Fires Will GLotu

Louise Glaum has gone and went
and done it, and it all came about be-
cause she wanted to be good and the
public and producers wouldn't let her.
So Louise the Lorelei has announced
that she is a producer.
We have become quite accustomed to
ladies Of the screen heading their own
companies, just as We arc getting used
to ladies in khaki knocking down our
streetcar fares. But, Louise, alb,
Lousc-shc will be the brains behind
productions, and perhaps other pco-
pies, too.
So, Mr.. Kipling, take back your def
milton of vampire, or else amend It
to include brains as we'll as rags and
bones and hair, for Louise Glaum has
proved your words false. But, then,
Louise is a false vampire. She has
6cguilcd the public into believing her
the smartest of naughty women, when
as matter Of fact she is as sweet and
'nnocuous as any ingenuc that ever
wore curl.
But this VIC never would believe
until We talked with her right here in
New York when she visited us recent.

know I have revoked my ruthless vam-
pire warfare and from henceforth will
wreck no innocent homes nor sink men
without warning.
"My dream of creating my own plays
has come true, for with my own COM
pany / am free and democratic agent
to do as / choose. / can select my own
stories, director and supporting play
ers, and l can supervise every detail
from the settings to the villains

out of the windows and bring in the
vcstal lamps, which I intend to keep
neatly trimmed.
"Kipling must take back his line
about vampires; 50 must Shakespeare
alter his famous line to read All the
worlds stage-and one woman in her
time plays many parts
"I'or this is the day Of womcn's
parts. We arc playing all sorts in ma
tional life, so why shouldn't we be al
lowed to play all sorts on the screen 2"
This all sounds just like Louise, and
VIC hope that she is going to do some
roles which will reflect her real per-
sonality, SO that people may know her
as she is-thc best-heartcd, best
natured vampire in captivity. When VIC
talked with her she only lauded her
contemporaries and never once told us
how wonderful she was herself.
The title Of Miss Glaum's first play
has not been announced. All VIC know
Is that it is to be in seven reels and
released by Paralta. But Miss
Glaum's reformation is as complete as
it is sudden, aud if she continues to
/ feel as she now feels it probably will
be called "a Young Girls Sacrifice"
or "Magdalene," or Madonna" Or
something of that sort. H. u.
