WAGE ECONOMIC WAR

An economic battle is being
waged over the 100000 unemploy-
ed women in England who earned
good wages chiefly as munitions
workers during the war. Some Eng
lish newspapers and commentators
are asking if a sex war is one of the
sinister possibilities of the future.
They point out that the situation is
more dangerous than when the suf-
fragets were wont to smash win
dows and terrorize the London po-
lice because the women did not then
know the full measure of their pow
er.

Another motion picture actress
was made this month. Have you
seen THE Brand" 1t is the lat
est Rex Beach photoplay and the
leading part in it is taken by none
other than the far-famed Kay Lau-
rell. Miss LAUREL is the very lat
est beauty to be recruited from the
Ziegfeld Follies and her success on
the screen is equal to that of some
of the other fair maids who started
in Mr.. Ziegfeld's famous show.
1t looks as if the Goldwyn COM
pany thought pretty we'll of Mr..
Ziegfeld's taste, for Miss LAUREL
is the second person they have
chosen this year to play lead parts
in their pictures And by the looks
of things she will be as popular as
Will Rogers, the other star from
the New York review.
THE Brand" a powerful story of
the west with its gambler, its
dance-hall girl and it's gold-seek-
ers, is a far cry from Miss Lau-
rells usual type of drama In fact,
aside from being her first photo
play, it is practically her first real
part of any consequence.
