RIlIIe Rhodes with us Again.

The fiye-part comedy,drama, 1.-The
Lamb and the Lion" appearing at the
Princess today, was made by the Ma
tional Film Corporation OF America.
It features pretty Billie Rhodes in n
role well suited to her charms and
talent, and will no doubt meet with
favor in the average theatre. The pro-
Iduction has its faults, however; the
plot is not strong. and there is a ten
dency to build the play around the
star, a condition which usually inter,
feres with the free development of a
plot. In the construction of the pic
ture, what would ordinarily be the pri-
mary motif of the play has been given
She secondary position, fact which
Causes a confusion of interests detri-
mental to the production as a whole.

FIND SOLDIERS JOBS
U. S. Bureau To Help Place 35th and
42nd Division Men.

While a number of cities are plan
ming on giving the returning Kansas
heroes of the Thirty-fifth and Forty
second division a royal reception, the
United States employment service is
bending every possible effort to get
Jobs for them when they recover from
the first OBSTACLES of the Homecoming.
1t is believed that one of the most
welcome greetings that those boys will
hear will be the information that
either their former job, or one better,
is ready for them when they desire
to begin work.
The interest of employers is to be
stimulated by the officials of the
federal employment service, to such
a point that every man who can pos
sibly use a returned soldier from one
of the famous Kansas fighting diyt-
sionS will register his name with the
service. An intensive survey of oppor-
tunities for jobs is already being made
Cards will be distributed among the
boys at Camp Funston before they are
demobilized. This will give them time
to register for jobs, then allow the
employment service to send the cards
to the home community of the appli-
cant, where the community committee
will see to it that position is pro-
vided for the soldier.
The same method will be taken to
replace members of the seth division,
which is scheduled to return to Kan
sas in June, according to ]. Will KEEL
ley, federal director for Kansas.

Margaret Anglin in her delightful
English love-c0medy, "Billeted, will
be the attraction at the Grand on
Tuesday night, April Is. "Billeted"
has ats inspiration in the present war;
it is not war play. 1t deals with
the moral aspects of the war and not
the dramatic, and deals with them
from a deliciously farcical standpoint.
1t is a comedy of manners and affords
a delightful two and a half hours en-
tertainment. Miss Anglin will be sup
ported here by her original New York
cast. which includes Alice Cobourn,
Sally Williams, Harry Barfoot, Phyllis
Birkett. Langdon Bruce, Myra Bur-
rington, Ralph Kemmet and Fred
Eric. The play is staged in a most
unusual manner from designs by Liv-
ingston Plat. art director for all Miss
Anglins productions.
