ATTRACTIVE BILL
 AT LOEW'S BIJOU

A programme of breezy summertime attractions is the offering at Loew' s Bijou for the first part of the week. and the bill proved very pleasing to the large audiences yesterday. Despite the hot weather the large number of fans and fresh air currents kept the theatre cool and comfortable. which added much to the pleasure of the entertainment.
 Coffman and Carroll, possibly capture the first honors, for Coffman has a laugh that will carry him anywhere, and Miss Carroll sings exceptionally well. They appeared in Black and Tan. and put much originality in their effort and pleased the audience highly.
 A dainty. tiny bit of femininity. La Petite Jennie, danced her way into the favor of the audience in clever dance revue, ranging from the minuet to the Hawaiian. The little dancer, who IS about as big as dollars worth of change, executed some wonderful dances.
 Jerome and Albright present breezy singing pianologue number. Both have good voices and score a hit with their song numbers Some of their comedy is of an early vintage and could be elim- mated with advantage to their act. Lillian Ronair in a repertoire of popular and restricted melodies was pleasing. and Hanlon and Arthur comedy cyclists proved a good opener.
 The picture feature, 'Cowardice Court" with Peggy Hylands in the lead Ing role is of absorbing interest. and while the plot is intensely dramatic, there is enough comedy in the story to make the picture thoroughly enjoyable. Tad's animated comedies and up-to-the minute news service completes the splen- did bill.

Population and Trade of India

From The Economic Basis of India" by
 H. M. Hyndman, in Asia" Magazine
 But. as the English trade returns are made out, it Is practically impossible for any outside investigator or critic to dis criminate correctly between the commer- cial dealings of British territory proper and those of these great native states which contain considerably more than one-fffth of the entire inhabitants of Tin dustan. The drain of produce. therefore, is derived not from the BIS, ,00O, 900 of peo- pie in India, but from 2f5,0o0o, 900; the 100000 in the protected territories should be deducted And the trade of these 70. .00o, 0O0 constitutes in reality much more than one-fiftb of the total trade Thts is a very important fact in considering the economic effect of European rule in Asia, and it is not generally recognized.

Gray has played this part in the movies and l is well equipped to give the part all that it deserves. Evelyn Watson, as l Marjory Holmes, received many en- cores during the evening.
