"A Virtuous Vamp" Is Excellent
Comedy Feature of the
Strands Program
By F1arriette Underhill

"A Virtuous Vamp" is much too flip
pant title for the picture at the
strand. In no way does it suggest the
thought and care which has gone into
the making of this picture. From the
prologue up to the fifth reel it is de-
llghtful comedy with episode following
episode and nothing to jar the players
out or their mood until Gwendolyn
Beauford- Beaufort Armitagc fails in
love-
girl falls in love she ceases to be as
interesting as she was before to every
one, including the man she is in love
with. SO we had small sympathy with
the heroine after she lost her grip and
went weeping around that she was
bachelor"
The story has been adopted from
Cylde Fltch's play of that name. One
reason that it is so charminglv done
ls because it is the work of Anita
Loos and John Emerson; another rca-
son is because beautiful, fascinating
Constance Talmad9e is in the title role
and another reason Is because Conway
Iearle ls seen as the victim Of the
vamp's articles.
1t is little things like the prologue
that bring ar audience close to the
players; David Kirkland is such a hu-
man director. The prologue shows the
vamp at the age Of seven Just after
her home has been levelcd by the fire
which carried away San Francisco in
1906
Her little brother and her mother
decd de that she has been killed when
she is discovered by one of the firemen
sitting in the ruins wearing her
mothers big plumed hat and holding
up a mirror to get n look at herself
Garry me-" she says to the fire
man. and when he objects she smiles
When he sets her down she kisses
him and that is the way she goes
through life. She is seen next at the
age of eighteen in New York directing
the furniture movers. who are carry
ing the piano into the new apartment
Her methods have not changed
And then to augment the family
fortunes she goes to work Here she
disorganizes the whole Office force
Her scene with Ned Sparkes, who is a
"Mr. Bell, devoted entirely to busi-
ness" rs one of the most amusing in
the picture.
Finally because she is a good secre
tary, the boss takes her into his own

Sam Stern, Barytone. Is
Heard at Princess Theater

Sam Stern, barytone, made his first
appearance at the Princess Theatcr
yesterday afternoon. He has a reso-
nant voice, temperament and DISPOSE
ton to phrase intelligently. His tones
were often spread, which impaired an
unpleasant quality to his voice. If he
will curb his emotional proclivities and
devote himself for time to cultivat-
ing smooth, round tones his singing
will be less primitive. Mr. Stern's sing
ing is capable of giving more than the
average pleasure. He was effective in
Won Fielitz's "Eililand," which he sang
in English, and particularly successful
in Mana-Zuca's "Rachem."

JERUSALEM'S MAYOR.

Nathan Straus, the beloved philanthropy
list of New York, wants to be the first may
or of Jerusalem, after Palestine is definite
ly set aside as the Jewish Homeland.
We appreciate Mr.. Strauss ambition. To
be the first mayor of the ancient and his
torical Holy City after the rehabilitation
of the Holy Land, is an ambition worthy of
the best men-and among these we certain
ly count Mr.. Straus. There is both an
idealism and a romanticism in this ambi-
ton, which would make its realization
picturesque achievement in the annals of
Jewish life
To be born in Europe, TO achieve wealth
and honor in America, then to be leader
and builder in the Ancient Home, would be

works in life are an indication of the merit
that should receive such a reward, Nathan
Straus is worthy of it. 1t is reminder of
the Middle Ages-when the hope of Israel's
best sons, was, that they may at last rest
in the land of their forefathers.
We wish Mr.. Straus the greatest of luck
in attaining his desire. We know of no man
more fitting for the position certainly no
one more worthy.

WILL THEY REGARD 1T?

Mr.. Louis Marshall has returned and has
brought the information, that the Jewish
minority groups in all the newer countries
as well as in Roumania, will have properly
guaranteed group rights, such as are en-
joyed by the other minority groups. The
Polish commissioners at first refused to
sign, but later signed the treaty containing
these guarantees. The Roumanian foreign
minister left Paris in huff. We do not
know whether Roumania has yet signed or
not.
The French Foreign Minister, Stephen
Pichon, says in letter to number of
French Deputies, that qualified represen-
tatives of the Polish and Roumanian gov
ernments, declare their readiness to accord
the Jews complete liberty and equality in
politics, religion and language" He does
not urge any special privileges for the
Jews in these countries, or any of the other
newly created countries on the ground that
"our final object is to guarantee the rights
of minorities until the day they are weld
ed into the nations so that they are undis-
tinguishable from other citizens, without
losing their ethnic or religious characteris-
tics. The League of Nations will provide
permanent protection"
In his address to the Senate, President
Wilson said among other things: "And out
of the executions of these great enterprises
of liberty sprang opportunities to attempt
what statesmen had never found the way
before to do; an opportunity to throw safe
guards about the rights of racial, national
and religious minorities by solemn interna-
tional covenants"
This is the promise of the President and
the Peace Commissioners. Let us see what
the future will bring forth. The experience
of the past, especially that of Roumania, is
anything but encouraging! Will Poland do
better-and will the signatories to the
League Covenant use their power to make
the violators come to time? This is the
question of the future-that is the real
Jewish problem.

THE JERUSALEM PRINTING WORKS.

Mr. Leon Zolotkoff, prominent Chica-
goan, and former head of the Order
knights of Zion, has hit upon the plan of
organizing publishing house in Jerusalem.
Since the beginning of the war, the large
printing houses in Wilma and Warsaw have
been destroyed. The smaller establish
ments in Palestine have likewise been WHIP
ed out. 1t has been for two years and more,
and it is now, practically impossible to get
Hebrew Books. We have very few Hebrew
publications in this country. The idea of
Mr.. Zolotkoff and his associates is to es-
tablish large printing works in Jerusalem
for the purpose of printing Hebrew relig-
ious and secular works, and supplying the
world with them. Mr.. Zolotkoff rightly
says that books bearing the imprint "Jeru-
slem" on them would make stronger ap-
peal to the sentiment of people,
The Jerusalem Printing Works is to be
a corporation with capital of 100000.
There are 1000 shares at $50, and the
shares can now be bought by applying to
Jerusalem Printing Works, 1912 Ashland
Block, Chicago, or by writing to the editor
of the Jewish Monitor.
We should like to see this venture
brought to successful elimination. Heav-
en- knows that we need Hebrew Publishing
house. We do believe, however, that the
capitalization is too small. That, however,
can be remedied later.
The project has been endorsed by the
Zionist Organization of America and the
Conference of American Rabbis. Here is
an opportunity for those who are seriously
and vitality interested in the development of
the Holy Land as well as IN the spread of
Jewish knowledge, to do something worth
while. Those who know anything of Jew
ish history and Jewish life need not be
told that it was the survival of the litera-
ture of the Jew that was basic to the sur
vival Of the Jew. And it is so now. AL
ready we are feeling very keenly the alb
sence of Jewish books, we mean, the Hebrew
Literature. Here is an opportunity to rem
der signal service through legitimate in
vestment.
Where are our Zionistic friends who have
just gotten their "feet wet with oil"?
