But his Dad steps in and tries to

where Jimmy, the aforementioned
adventurous young man, conceives
the idea of capitalizing his tricky
way of getting into Jail. Between

makes a bet with Dad that he will

OBJECTIONABLE
SIN At ROYAL
One Of Greatest Films Ever
Shown In This City

Surprising In importance any pre-
vious moving picture event in the his
tory of the Royal theatre will be the
engagement of 1.-The objectionable
SIM Harry Garson's extraordinary
epic photoplay, starring Blanche
Sweet, under the personal direction
of Marshall Neilan, at the Royal the
atre october "a and rs, there will be
four presentations daily of the pic
ture for a period of two days.
The objectionable Sin Is one of
the most pretentious screen plays that
has ever been attempted, and has been
completed after months and painstax-
ing effort and with the expenditure
of more real none than has been
enlisted in the aid Of any photoplay
produced within the past five years.
1t is a ~brand-new production, and
Just now is having its initial runs in
the important theatres in the East.
Those who are familiar with the
important books which have been
published during the past couple of
years will identify the big Carson pic
ture as an adaptation from the pow
erful story by the same name, wri-
ten by Major Rupert Hughes, which
first appeared in serial form in the
Red Book and was later published
In book form to achieve a reputation
as a best seller" which has been
by new novels offered the
reading public. The story has been
spoken of as one of the most power
full tales of owe and adventure
which has ever been written and re-
views of the picture made by import
ant critics throughout the country
pay high tribute to Director Marshall
Neilan when they say that here is
one of the rare instances when the
p~hotoplay version is even more pow
erful n gripping than the original
narrative.
When they see THE objectionable
Sim moving picture devotees will be
particularly interested in the work
of the star, for the reason tina in
Miss Blanche Sweet it brings back to
the screen a favorite who had thor
oughly established herself before re-
firing for a long and much-needed
rest. Miss Sweet Won her spurs in
some of the biggest and best pictures
ever produced by David Wark Grit

a Nation" Intolerance" and Hearts

June Elvidge, the famous star who
has made hundreds of thousands of
admirers by her work in World Pic
lures, is at the Ditmas theatre in her
newest World success, Love and the
Woman" Miss Elvidge assumes two
distinct roles of widely divergent
characteristics in this striking new
production and her many friends and
admirers will particularly like her
work in this picture. A splendid
presentation is given to Love and
the Woman" by a company of actors
containing some especially accom-
plished film favorites.
The more we see of Bert Lytell,
who opened at the Ditmas theatre
yesterday in a comedy-drama called
Easy to Make Money the more
we are convinced that this handsome
stars popularity is well founded.
Easy to Make Money" is far and
way the best vehicle Mr.. Lytell has
had for some time, and recalls once
more that screamingly funny story
THE Spender" in which he jumped
into sudden fame as a screen star.
The story has to do with an adj
venturous young man who has a
weakness for speed and recklessness.
Betting is a hobby with him, and the
idea of love never enters his head.

In THE Fall of Babylon" Mr.. Crit
fifth shows hat love and war were
not so different in bygone days than
they are in modern times. Before a
background of ~stupendous scenes or
magnificence and splendor he intro
duces the love or adventures of a
plain little mountain girl. The strange
contrast of the stormy love of the
fearless mountain girl for Prince Bel

of devotion displayed by the Princess
Beloved, is brought out with all the
juxtaposition and utter difference OF
nature.
True to his formula for entertain
ing theatre patrons, Mr.. Griffith has
made of The Fall of Babylon" a
masterful combination of spectacular
romance, delightful comedy, gor.
geous scenes, staggering assembly OF
historic facts. intrigue, greed and
treachery. The production may be
said to run the entire gamut of hui

THE SITUATION NOT ENCOURAGING.

There seems to be little desire in this country on the
part of workingmen to look before they leap. At present
preparations are being made by hundreds of thousands
of men to strike unless they get certain demands.
The mammoth U. 5. Steel Corporation and the big
independents Will shortly have certain demands made OF
them by union organizations. These leaders will call
their men out on strike unless the steel companies accede
to their requests.
This newspaper has no axe to grind for the L. S.
Steel Corporation. 1t has often criticized it for paternal.
istic tendencies. 1t has no briefs for any of the indie
pendent companies. but without having the faintest ink
ling Of what these great steel industries will do when the
unions present their demands. it would like to point out
that the prospect seems anything but encouraging that
these demands which are well known VIII be granted.
The great Calumet region in Indiana has never been
as prosperous as it is at present. Industry and business
is thriving. Workingmen are getting high wages. 1t IS
true that they have grievances. 1t is true that the cost
OF the necessities of life are almost prohibitive, but they
are due for a turn and We would like TO ask labor what
it is going to do when production stops. Suppose, as IS
possible, mills close down and stay closed down. There
is already the tang of an early fall in the air. Winter
will soon follow on its heels. Suppose that industry
shuts up shop for six months, what is going to happen?
Is the outlook not serious enough to warrant grave
study and careful thought on the part of workingmen and
their families? Are they prepared to tackle the coming
winter without work? Are they prepared for even more
dire conditions? We believe these questions are fraugnt
with interest 70 everyone.

A BIG ISSUE

bill. would. it is estimated, involve the issuance of at
least $50 100000 in four per cent bonds. a sum which
comes not far from duplicating the net war debt. Man
agement Of the railroads would be in the hands of a
board of fifteen persons, five appointed by the president
to represent the public. five elected by the operating
managers to represent the executives. and FIVE elected
by the classified workmen to represent the employees. The
principal objection to these details, aside from the eco
Monies of the plan. is that the government, the real
owner of the lines. has only FIVE directors out of a total
of fifteen. leaving control in the hands OF the executives
and the classified employees who have comparatively no
financial responsibility whatever.
They. however. fix their own compensation and will
be certain of their wages, no matter whether the rail
roads show a profit or not. And, in addition. they share
