RTCHMOND-"Pauline Frederick"

1t is quite refreshing to find a
really consistent story in motion pie
lures, but it is generally conceded
.hat the productions of Paramount
and Aircraft more nearly approach
consistency than those of any other
concern. This is especially true as
regards "Paid in Full" the new Para
mount nhotoplay starring Pauline
Frederick which IS the bill at the Ricil
mond theatre tonight. The play is a
charming one and affords Miss Fred
rick a powerful Characterization II
which her artistry never is at fault.
The effect is satisfying performance
IN which an excellent supporting corr
oany appears to the highest advan-
age.

10 Discuss Means of Starting a
Boom in Construction.

The Government today-wlth the
personal participation OF President
Wilson-began a direct campaign foi
nationwide building boom to aid
business and employment conditions
Called by President Wilson govern
ors of many States and mayors of the
large cities of the country assembled
this morning in the historic East
Room of the White House to hear the
counsel of the President and members
of his Cabinet and determine on the
best means of affording buffer en-
plovment until the nations industries
can get back to a peace time basis.
Out of these conferences which will
continue probably through Wednes-
day, it is hoped that a definite pro-
gram will be evolved for resumption
of good roads and other public works
construction on a large scale. Other
subjects to be considered will be the
validation of informal war contracts,
the general financial situation, for,
eign and domestic trade and the pc,
culiar needs of various sections.
President Wilson, because of the
press of business since his return
from France, was unable to prepare
a set speech, an eXtemporaneous ad-
dress resulting. He is, however,
deeply concerned at the genera! busi-
ness and industrial situation and feels
:hat Immediate cooperation from the
States and large cities toward meet
ing employment demands is vital If
unrest in the country is to be eased.
