On the Screen
Rothapfel Programme Has Its
First Showing Here; Enter.
tainment Is Varied

The first Rothapfel programme was
presented at the Rialto Theatre yester-
day morning before ar invited gather
ing. 1t is S. L. Rothapfel's idea to Sc
lect complete programmes to be pre-
sentd by exhibitors all over the coun-
try, and the performance at the Rialtc
was a sample offering.
1t started with an overture especial
~ arranged by Mr.. Rothapfel and Hugo
Riesenfeld, of the 'Rivoli Theatre.
Then came picture called "The Wood
of Fair Water" This shows the
achievements of the Marines at Bel
leau Wood.
Massenet's Elegie has also been pic
turlzed and is transferred to the screen
with titles done in verse and vocal
music accompaniments. 1t is called
The Last Hour"
The feature picture is False Gods"
screen version Of E. Lloyd Sheldon's
ture was not especially adapted for
presentation in Broadway theatre.
But we have been told that audiences
outside of the metropolis demand very
deIfferent sort Of pictures and of course
Mr. Rothapfel's choice may have been
influenced by that fact. "False Gods"
is a story Of I thoughtless wife who
nearly ruins her husband by her ex-
trayagances. Hugh Thompson is the
husband and Grace Darling the wife.
In In the supporting cast are Florence
biiilngs, Harry Mestayer, Ida Darling,
Altred Hickman Macy Harlem and Leo
Delaney.
There is an epigram called EQUITY"
which plcturizes the idea "The duck
eats the worm; the man eats the duck;
the worm eats the man." and a COM
edy called "Wild Flowers" This last
IS by George V. Hobart and we strong
ly dIsapprove of it. 1t is put on, how
ever, with an ingenuity worthy of a
better cause. 1t shows one day in
the lie Of two. girls of type too we'll
known to need any explanation. But
they insist on saying after each cpl
side, 1--WE arc two wild women - we
can't be cultivated. We're wild"
Although the performance was given
at 10 o'clock the theatre was crowded
to the doors.
1t seems that tho Department Of La
Dor has raised objections to the mo-
ton picture called "Bolshevism on
Trial. Not from an artistic stand
point, Of course, but because Of some
jnjudicious advertising which ono of
tho trade papers had suggested as the
quickest way to bring the picture to
SHS AttcIItCl tue DQDIlC.
It worked more quickly than even
they had supposed, only it had boom
crang qualities which had not been
forsoen.
Copies Of letters, which were writ
ten to Lewis Sclznick by David X.
Niles, chief of the motion picture sec
ton of the United States Department
Of Labor. and from James p Roberts,
Director Of Information, have been
mailed to The Tribune Each states
that the objection Of the department
was never to tho picture, but to the
advcrtising suggestion for which the
company was in no way responsible.
Any one who has seen the picture will
realize that no one but Bolshevk
himself could feel that It WIS unjust.
II is satire directed against those
followers Of ths red flag and their
ellies. II. u.

Drama
lit Happens to Everybody" Is
Seen at the Park
Theatre
By Haywood Broun

An utterly preposterous but soma
what lively melodrama, called at Han.
pens to Everybody" was produced at
the Park Theatre last night. r.
Sheldon is the author. Much Of tho
play is old-fashioned in theme and
treatment, but 1T has the merit of
abundant incident, and though some of
1T is absurd to the point of uninten-
tlonal burlesque, it never wearies the
attention. A workable mystery is de-
veloped, and one theme which is woven
into the plot never fails to interest an
audience. That is the theme Of q
young man of no means suddenly ele-
vated to affluence. = 1t served in "1t
Pays to Advertise" and in IA Tailor
Made Man" and score of other plavs
Sheldon does not handle it expertlv
and yet he gets a good deal of fun ont
OF his hero, who is suddenly offered
$4,000 by firm which apparently has
nothing for him to do, and sets him to
work docketing old bills. The reason
Tor this mysterious state of affairs lies
IN the secret dye formula, but it would
take too much space to explain how
this came into the possession of the
young man and still more how he man
aged to thwart the schemes of the
wicked capitalist.
The attempted suicide of one
character helps the mystery story,
but the authors taste in also using it
as basis for a number of comic
scenes seemed at least questionable. !.
Much of the vitality of the play was
due to an excellent performance by a
young actor named James Gleason.
His work was not always finished, but
it was always animated and imagina-
tive and at times genuinely amusing.
George B. Miller also did we'll with
more or less conventionalized old
crouch character, which he was some
times able to lift out of the usual rut.
William E. Meehan, who has done some
excellent character work in "Turn to
the Right" and "The Big Chance" had
part which gave him Slight opportu-
mites.

New Member From Georgia
Promises to Support
Amendment That His
Predecessor Defeated
Comes Upin Extra Session
Poll of New and Hold-Over
Senators Assures Women
of Two thirds Support
Ne,p York Tribune

WASHINGTON May 9.-Information
reached Washington to-day that Will
lam J. Harris, the new Senator from
Georgia, who is in Europe, has told
President Wilson he will vote for the
equal suffrage amendment resolution,
which failed by one vote at the last ses-
sion of the Senate.
Suffrage advocates said Senator Har-
ris's vote was not necessary to insure
massage of the resolution, as a poll of
the new and hold-over members of the
Senate showed more than the two
thirds majority required. His declara-
ton in favor of the measure, however.
was received with general satisfaction
by supporters of the amendment, who
expect to press for its passage early in
the extra session of Congress.
In an interview to-day Mrs. George
Bass, chairman of the Woman's Bureau
of the Democratic National Committee
said:
"The news that the extra vote for
lack of which the suffrage amendment
was lost last February is to be given
by Senator William J. Harris is glad
tidings to the waiting suffragists, for
it insures the passage of the amend
ment. Even the most cautious of the
suffrage leaders admit they are now
certain of more than enough votes to
carry them to victory"
Sixty-four votes were assured the
suffrage amendment by the November
elections, when three new suffrage
Senators were elected although two
suffrage Senators were replaced by
anti-sufragsts. At the time of the
last vote in the Senate there were only
sixty-three votes for suffrage.
The changes due to the elections
were as follows:
In Massachusetts, Senator Weeks,
anti-suffragist, was replaced by SEN
ator Walsh, suffragist.
In New Jersey, Senator Baird, anti
suffragist, was replaced by Senator
Edge, suffragist.
In Delaware, Senator Salisbury,
anti-sufraglst, was replaced by Sem
ator Ball, sufragist.
The two votes lost to suffrage were
in South Carolina, where Senator Pol
lock was replaced by Senator Dial, an
antisuffragist, anf in Mississippi,
where Senator VarAaman was replaced
by Senator Harrison,s an anti-suf-
fraglSt.
