The young lady was On her way

the way when, without an instants
Earning a rUffian, presumed to have
been & Mexican, stepped from the
dark shadows of the trees and made
7 spring for the girl. Fighting des-
perately, the girl broke away and
ran with all her might up the street.
She was so terrified that she was
-nablc to scream or uteer sound
until she had gone about block
and realized that she was no longer
being pursued. Beyond the nervous
shock, and the incidental marks Of
breaking from the brute's grasp, the
young woman was uninjured.
City Marshal Gillett was immedl-
atcly Notified and went at once 10

ugly looking Mexican, with a rcyolv-

Hearing ON Bill
To Censor Films
Measure Authorizes City
License Commissioner to
Pass on All Pictures and
Provides List of Fines

There will be public hearing be-
fore the Aldermanic committee on gen
eral welfare tomorrow afternoon on
the proposed ordinance Of Alderman
Augustus M. Wise to make the Com
missioner Of Licenses q municipal cen
sor Of all motion picture films.
II this measure Is passed in its
present form every film exhibitor will
be forced to make written applica-
tion to the Commissioner of Licenses
before a picture is shown publicly. If
nothing Objectionable is found in it
by the License Commissioner it may
be shown after the payment of 81.
Alderman Wise explained yesterday
that the ordinance was not directed
against decent motion picture films. He
said plays are being shown that are
not fit to look at. The measure is de-
signed to curb those exhibitors who
produce Objectionable reels, which, un-
der the proposed ordinance, may be
confscated. Mr.. Wise pointed to that
section of the ordinance which pro-
vides that if film is rejected by the
censor and afterward is shown or put
in circulation contrary to the terms Of
the law, "the same shall be confscated,
and in addition thereto the person or
corporation so offending shall be fined
not less than $50, nor more than $500,
for each offence" A fine Of from $50
to 500 Is provide for violation Of other
sections Of the ordinance
That part Of the ordinance which
refers to Objectionable films reads:
"1f picture or a series Of pictures
for the showing or exhibition of which
an application for a permit Is made is
immoral, indecent or suggestive, or
such as tend in the judgment Of the
commissioner to debase or corrupt
morals, or such as misrepresent, trav-
esty or defiance any Office, act or thing
identified with any religious belief, or
has tendency to disturb the public
peace, it shall be the duty Of the Com
missioner of Licenses to refuse such
permit; otherwise it shall be the duty
Of the commissioner to grant such

On the Screen
Madge Kennedy Seen at the
Strand i'm New Wild
West Picture

"Leave 1t to Susan" Is the feature
picture at the Strand this week. We
liked this picture. We liked the pict-
ure and we liked Madge Kennedy, the
star. but we should have liked either
just as well without the other. Mean
ing that leave 1t to Susan" is not
Madge Kennedy picture.
1t is a story of the Wild West done
in style reminiscent of the pictures
which Anderson used to make. But
then, Anderson was our favorite COW
boy.
Miss Kennedy is Susan Burbridge.
travelling west with her mother and
father, When she thinks that she dis
covers bandit on the train
1t would seem that Susan had very
little perspicuity, for wo recognized
him on sight rs Wallace Macdonald,
the hero. And nover for a moment
does he let you forget that he is the
hero, either. Oh, he is very much in
evidence at all times! And those who
like leading men with dimples in their
chins, who don sport shirts and do
cave-man stuff are going to like Miss
Kennedy's leading man.
AT any rate, Susan climbs down Oft
the train to air her dog and the train
goes without her. She wanders through
the desert Ca real desert, too) and
finally runs into a deserted cabin to
escape from a terrible storm. Here
she meets her bandit and little later
a lot of bona fide bandits.
But you can just leave it to Susan.
She finally ropes and ties the lot and
when papa arrives to rescue her, there
she is holding up the gang with a
pistol.
Miss Kennedy had very little chance
to display her talents as comcdicnne,
which she is-one of the clcvcrcst on
the screen or stage.
Walter HERS is seen in part which
seems quite extraneous, but Mr. Hers
is always funny. Anna Hernandez
Alfred Hollngsworth and George Kun

Goldwyn production.

Many Hasten to Join
New Community Church

The Community Church, recently or
ganized by the Rev. John Haynes
Holmes in place of the Church of the
Messiah, has gained more members
since January than 1t ever gained in
year before, according to state
ment made by the Rev. Mr.. Holmes
yesterday.
Two hundred and seventy eight mem
bers have been taken into the reor-
ganized church, while only twentysix
members have withdrawn.
There is no reason why members
should feel obliged to withdraw" said
DR.. Holmes. "The new church organ
ization does not challenge any ones
belief, nor pry into it. Members Of
this church may hold any personal re-
ligious convictions they choose. Be-
levers in any of the Protestant de-
nominations, as we'll as Catholics, Jews
and atheists may belong to the Com
munity Church, because theology is
not the touchstone of our union.
"Consecration to ones fellow men,
strong moral purpose and a desire
to livev ones life according to the
highest spiritual standards are the
things that draw US together In this
church"
To those who prophesied that the
new church would run on the rocks of
financial disaster, even if it did at
tract large audiences, the Rev. Mr..
Holmes made equally optimistic RET
joinder. Last year the total receipts
Of the church from subscriptions and
pew rents were $11, ,695. This year the
receipts to date have been S12,982

Dram a
'La-La-Lucille!" Has Its First
Performance at the Henry
Miller
By Haywood Broun

La, La, Lucille!" is farce with bed
and music. 1t is lively throughout, ag-
gresslvely vulgar and sometimes anus
ing. The music is spirited, rather than
melodlous. "Tee Oodle I'm Bum Bo"
was the song most appreciated by the
first night audience. This may serve to
furnish some clue to the nature of the
lyrics, which were written by Arthur
jackson and B. G. De Silva. Fred Jack
son wrote the book, and George Gersh-
win composed the music.
The play concerns the efforts of
couple to obtain divorce in New York
State in order to obtain q legacy of
$2,000,000. A number of more or less
willing spondents are involved
during the course of the three acts to
keep up the complications. Jack Haz-
zard is amusing in the chief role and
does not always keep to the lines set
down for him, even though the author
gives him the opportunity to say: Get
down ou your Japan knees" to an
Oriental servant. Many of the quips
are like that. The book includes a num-
Der Of lines about Philadelphia being a
quiet city, and the montony of married
life. In other words, it violates none
Of the rules Of the Musical Comedy
Manufacturers Union.
1t seemed to US slightly more lively
than the average, and the plot, in spite
of the bed, is not hackneyed. Much of
the dancing is excellent. Helen Clark,
who also sang, danced with particularly
pleasing grace and played we'll. Janet
Velie did most of the singing in pleas
ant fashion and looked equally we'll.
Eleanor Daniels was exceedingly
positive in her comic methods,
but gained some of her effects,
even If she had to work little
too hard for them. Lord Raker,
who was seen here last with Marie
Cahill, has an agreeable boyish manner,
and we rather think that he may be
seen to advantage in more important
work in the theatre one of these days
He has at least a suggestion of Ernest
Truck, even if he is less sure Of his
comic touches.
There was also an attractive chorus
girl who looked exactly like Dorothy
Dickson. That, perhaps, is the chief
characteristic of an American comic
opera. 1t is always reminding you of
something else. which is usually the
one you saw the night before last, which
in turn dates back to the one of the
Saturday before that. There has never
been, so far as we can remember any
break in the succession.
