Gov Henry ]. Allen today submit
ted n program calling for twenty-four
vital enactments in his first message
to the Kansas legislature. AT least a
half dozen of the dominant features
of the governors message deal with
constitutional problems. The more
important matters urged by the gov
erIor are to be worked out in a con-
stitutional convention - the ground
plan of the governors address to the
state lawmakers.
Thru constitutional convention,
the new governor suggests some of the
most sweeping reforms asked by a
Kansas governor in a genera ton. His
demand is for abolition of the tenant
farm system, drastic revisfons in the
taxing system, abolition of the elective
system as applied to many county Of
ficos, state highway building, and re-
forms in the judicial system. The last
feature is covered generally and not
specifically in the MESA ge

LABOR WARNED TO.
PURGE RANKS OF
ULTRA RADICALISM
BY OMMITTEEE
Senate Probers of Steel
Strike Say Wage Ques-
ton not InvOlved-Find
Hours Too Long.
CBy United rre.-o

Washington. Nov. S.-The Senate
Labor Committee. in reporting the re-
suit of its probe of the steel strike
situation. warned labor that it must
rid itself of the ultra-radicalism which
has appeared within its ranks if it eX-
poets to hold the nations confidence.
The report stated that the Bolshev-
Xxi and the radicals used the strike to
further their own interests.
The committee said that the wage
question was not involved in the
strike, as the steel workers as a
whole were fairly well satisfied"
with the pay.
The committee said: "Were it
not for an attempt TO unionize the
mills the strike probably would not
have occurred"
The committee thought that the la
borers in the mills had a just COM
plant relative to the hours they were
forced to work, and that they had a
right to have the complaint heard by
the companies.

Harry NJ. Crandall. owner of the
chain of Crandall theaters in Wash
ington, has announced the appoint
ment of John J. Payette to the posi-
tion Of assistant general manager Of
the Crandall circuit. Mr.. Payette was
formerly manager of the Metropoli-
tan Theater, in this city. and his
promotion to the position Of assistant
to Joseph P. Morgan. general man
ager of the Crandall enterprises. is in
the nature of much-deserved recog-
milton Of Mr.. Psyette's wide expert
ence in every branch of theatrical
activity except production and audit
ing.
Mr.. Payette is a native Washing
tonian and a graduate of the School
Of the Immaculate Conception. In
March. 1913. he was made assistant
manager of Crandalrs Metropolitan
Theater, of which Arthur X Robb
was in charge. Upon succeeding to
the managership of the Metropolitan
last April, Mr.. Payette at ance insti-
tuted numerous improvements in the
conduct of the house and made it
known, both in Washington and
throughout the East as one of the
most ably managed theaters- in the
country.
Mr.. Payette is a hard worker con-
siderate Of his associates, quick in
appraisal of amusement values and
alert to the best interests of the pub
lie. His is a genial personality and
his rise In the amusement world has
ben marked by q strict adherence to
business ethics and unimpeachable
integrity. In him are combined quail
tiles that render Mr.. Crandall quite
as much subject to congratulation as
Mr.. Payette himself upon his ad-
vancement to a place Of greater re-
sponsibility In the steadily expanding
Crandall organization.

Wanted: One Title
For a Stage Play;
Reward Is Offered

1t has been said of Charles Klein,
who wrote The Lion and the
Mouse" The Music Master" THE
Third Degree" etc. that Klein
would first pick out his title and
then write a play around il. II that
is a fact he eliminated the great
difficulty that most dramatists are
confronted with: that is, a fitting
and catchy title for their plays.
Booth Tarkington, when searching
for a descriptive title for his latest
comedy which made such q big hit
in New York called the play ''C1ar-
ence" out of mere desperation,
which is another illustration of
what's in a name"
willard Robertson and Kilbourne
Gordon. who are responsible for the
current attraction at the Shubert-
Garrick Theater, have made several
attempts to give their new drama
an appropriate title. when a
Mans a Man" is the third the play
has had. and now they find that
they have chosen a title that Is
already being used by Harold Bell
Wright for a novel. II you can
think of a good title for this new
play. the authors will be glad to
hear from you. The shorter the
title, the more effective, so be care
full of your selection II you can
successfully name the play before
Saturday, November Is, the authors
will reward you.

George Mooser and starring Martha

Wizard of Stagecraft Declares Her
Judgment of Dramatic Values !.
Unerring-To Present The Som
Daughter" in Real Chinese Set
ting in New York.

1t is a tremendous play that
David Belasco has given US in his
latest offering. THE SorDaugh-
ter" We are even inclined to
believe that it is the best of Be
asco. Combining as it does per-
let drama, delicious comedy,
grand opera investiture, scenic
kgrandeur and artistic interpreta-
lion, 1t reaches a pinnacle of the
atrical endeavor that makes COM
parison almost impossible. If
there can be comparison it can
only be Belasco with Belasco.
We were fortunate enough to
meet Mr.. Belasco yesterday and
hear from his own lips some of the
details of the production Seated
amid a screen of fly ropes in silent
direction and supervision of the
setting Of his first act. he told US
Of the yeats that had been spent
In preparation.
Not that he has had this particu-
lar play in mind for years but be-
cause he knew that some day he
%-ruld do a play pertaining to the
Chinese he began gathering cos
tunes and properties OF the Orient.
Every costume is a real one. noth-
ing has been made to order.
In its Irst conception the play
was to have been an elaborate
spectacle but so big did the play
itself become that the meIodram-
Etic spectacle was lost as the real
drama unfOlded itself in its mas
siveneSs. Twenty-Five thousand dol
lars worth of scenery has been dis
carded in the final presentation,
though to the man out front IL Is
very evident that many times this
smount is still on view of the au-
dience in costumes and in the
grandeur of the scenes that re-
main.
A number of scenes have been
eliminated for fear that they might

detract from the play. Several end
ings Of the play have been consid-
cred and one very novel one tried.
but Mr.. Belasco is now of the opin-
ion that he will let II end with the
third act, an ending that is just
short OF tragedy.
And on this point Mr.. BeIasco
makes a very interesting comment,
and coming from him it carries
considerable weight.
The day is over" says Mr.. Be-
lasco. when the public demands the
happy ending. There was a day
and Just a few years ago when IT
was necessary to unite the lovers
at the finish. II We would prosper
in the box Office. but grief has been
experienced since then. Too many
homes have been touched by the
war and their supreme sorrows have
paved the way to a recognition of
the less vital sorrows of the stage"
We asked Mr.. Belasco about his
trick lighting. IT have none nor
have 1 ever used any" he replied.
The lighting of God is good
enough for me. I have spent years
in perfecting the effects Of such
natural lighting but never have
tried to bewilder an audience by
the use of trick lighting that is
unexplained by some natural chan
mel" And though we have always
thought Of his trick lighting we
cannot recall single instance
where his wonderful lighting ef-
fects have not been the reflection
of natural effects.
He pays a mighty compliment to
Lenore Uric, the star of The SON.
Daughter" when he says that of
all the people he has directed in
his years as a director, she has been
the most responsive and that her
Judgment of dramatic values has
been unerring. Never has she
showed an inclination to emote or
destroy q CT 7racterization by hectic
exaggeration.
When THE Son-Daughter" goes
into New York in his own theater,
il will be seen in a setting that is
denied those who see II on the road.
The Belasco Theater there is being
converted into a Chinese theater
and the illusion Of the stage will
be carried out in front as well.
The New Yorker will by this means
step from the whirI OF metropolitan
life into real China, simply by pass
ing in the pasteboard admissions
at the door of the theater.

MR.. SHAW'S YOUNG AMBITION

when Oscar Shaw. the youthful
lover in The Rose Of China" the
new musical comedy to be present.
ed here next week at Polls. was
a student at the University of
Pennsylvania. he had a hankering
to go on the stage, just like many
Of the rest of us. But he had, also,
q different idea than most indi-
viduals have about the best way
by which he might become ac-
quainted with stage folk.
He reasoned that. as SO many
brokers are sued by chorus girls
for breach of promise and other
shortcomings that lead to legal ac-
tion, that he would become a broker
himself and thus meet the ladies
of the ensemble. But his plan did
not work out at all to his liking;
he met but few and so he decided
that the only thing to do was to
get a Job on the stage. This in

was his success that within two
years he became leading juvenile at

And then he hoped of to Lon

phatic hit. He later toured the

to London to win added favor in
several revues, among them being

are shown filed with Oriental Chef
darts. The curios and relics in
these sets were valued at many thou
sands Of dollars. Many Of them are
owned by Hayakawa while others
were contributed by his friends. A
very rare piece is a Buddha shrine
over $500 years old which was
brought from the Orient by F. Suie

A remarkable and graphically real
istic fog scene Is exposed IN ''The
Illustrious Prince" How these fog
scenes were obtained is not only a
proof Of the ingeniousness of the
producing staff of Hayakawa and
their desire for artistic verify, but
makes an interesting story in itself.
The little town Of Van Nuys, Cal.
was the locale selected for these fog
scenes. and that hamlet got the thrill
of its existence when the entire force
