FormerColony Club
TO Become a Home
For Working Girls
Once Gathering Place Of the
Ciiy's Most Aristocra,ic
Women and Owned by
Mrs. Nicholas Bra d v

The old Colony Club, once the gath
cring place of the city's most artistic
cratic women, under the leadership Of
Miss Anne Morgan and Mrs. j. Borden
Hartman, is to become home for
working girls. Until recently tie Col
ony Club was centre for Red Cross
nurses awaiting overseas orders.
Mrs. Nicholas Brady, the present
owner of the famous old Colonial Build
ing, at 100 Madison Avenue, is having
it remodelled into quarters for thirty
girls. 1t is to have cafeteria where
the music room used to be. The swim
ming pool and gymnasium viii be re
tanned The building viii be open in
about week.
Mrs. Brady, who is the wife of the
president of the Edison Company, and a
daughter of Patrick Garvan, of Hart
ford, purchased the property in 1917 for
100000. During the war the building
housed many patriotic organizations,
starting with the Vacation War Relief
Committee and the Committee Cor Dew
astated France, which used it for
workrooms and Warehouse Ban
dages and pajamas were made for the
needy population of France. Later, it
became the headquarters for many
minor organizations of a similar char
acter, and ended by housing the Ar
menian Relief Committee.
Last summer the swimming pool and
roof garden again came into their own,
and furnished pleasure for hundreds OF
Gross
New York on their way to France.
The Colony Club was opened in 1907
and at that time it attracted much at
tention because Of its luxurious fur
nishings and the bachelor girl affairs
which were held there. By 1915, how
ever, the club had outgrown these
sumptuous quarters and moved into a
new 100000 building at SiXtieth Street
and Park Avenue.

On the Screen

"Go West, Young Man." presented by
Samuel Goldwyn, written by Willard
Mack, directed by Harry Beaumont and
interpreted by Tom Moore, is the feat
IRE at the Rialto this week.
This is typical Douglas Fairbanks
picture and we do not sec how any one
ever had the temcrity to write it with
any other star in view.
But oh! how we did love Tom Moore
in it, 1t seemed so nice and different
to see hero who was not infalliblc.
When Toms father turned him out he
was hungry when he fell off the train
on which he was stealing a ride he
hurt himsclf when he tried to steal
a breakfast he got held up and had to
wash dishes TO pay for it; and when the
wild Westerncrs tried TO make him
dance with their well-directed bullets
he danced.
He couldn't ride without dismounting
to rest; he couldn't shoot straight; he
couldn't lasso anything, and not once
did he leap over horse.
In fact, he did exactly what any we'll
bred New York boy whose father had
suddenly called him parasite" would
have done
Tom Moore is Dick Latham, an at
tractive young man who had been born
with a gold spoon in his mouth and
who never had had ambition enough to
remove it.
But one day father seemed partcu-
larly peevish and his ill-chosen words
reused the inadvertent soul to action
Dick decided to leave home. and show
dad, and as the only clothes he ever
had bought with his own money were
pair of white trousers and white
sweater he went West in these by
freight.
1t was not the quickest method of
transportation, but it was the quickest
for Dick because it cost nothing
Finally he became so expert that he
could ride on passenger train on the
steam pipes, or whatever they are, that
hang tcmptingly underneath the train.
And so he arrived at Twin Bridges,
a horrible town where every one drank
whiskey and knew how to shoot, and in
the course Of time he was made sheriff,
in the nature Of Il joke but he proved
to be not such "A Joke after all. and
finally had Il chance to arrest father for
playing poker on Sunday which was
against the new law in Twin Bridges.

Jacques Copeau. director Of the
French Theatre du Nieux Colombier, is
shortly to produce a ballad-drama by
Percy Mackaye, written around the
character of George Washington, which
aims to show the true spirit of the re
lations that have existed between
France and the United States since the
days of Lafayette. The work is
planned to serve as a background for
the happenings of to-day. Celebrated
characters OF the Revolutionary period,
among them Hamilton, Payne and La
fayette, are introduced, and old Amer

ton.

ALBANY, Jan. 27-Miss Frances
Perkins. who was appointed by Cover
nor Smith 10 the State Industrial Com
mission, Will not be confirmed by the
Senate, prominent Legislative leaders
declared tonight.
According to The Tribunes informa-
ton the Republican Senators have de-
cided not to confirm Miss Perkins be-
cause Of the opposition voiced against
her by business men and representa-
tives Of labor. The agreement it is
reported, was reached at conference
here this afternoon
Miss Perkins is the first woman nom
mated to big paying job. The place
carries a salary of $4,000 q year Miss
Perkins is the wife of Paul Wilson,
former executive secretary 20 the late
Mayor Mitchell.
The objection to Miss Perkins is not
based on personal grounds. Manufact-
urers and business men contend that
Governor Smith should appoint manu-
facturer on the board in place Of Louis
II. Ward whom Miss Perkins is slated
to succeed. MI. Wizard is a plough
manufacturer. Labor representatives
object to Miss Perkins on the grounds
that She does not represent labor and
that She does not represent the en-
ployers
Both employees and employers insist
that since the commissions chief, if
not sole, purpose. is to deal with cap
ital and labor, each should have It's
representative on the commission and
if Miss Perkins's S appointment was con-
iirmed it would leave capital without
a representative.
This is certain to precipitate a lively
row between the Governor and the
Senate majority. The Governor when
asked to withdraw Miss Perkins's name
refused. and intimated that if the Sen
ate refused to confirm he would send
in 10 other name
The Republicans will make it plain
that their action is not, as the Demo-
Gratis will charge, prompted because of
the nominees sex. In fact, some Re
publican Senator'S declared they would
force Governor Smith to nominate am
other woman for the place

WEAR II UNIFORM

1t will be a great disappointment to the people of Perth Am
boy if the soldier boys in whose honor Mondays celebration is to
be held do not wear their uniforms on that occasion. There is no
greater badge of honor, nothing that commands more respect than
the uniform of the army, navy and marines Of the United States
of America. When Perth Amboy thinks of her boys in the service
of Uncle Sam she thinks of them in either khaki or blue and, natur-
ally, when the city takes a day off to honor those boys it is as re-
turned soldiers. sailors and marines that she looks upon them. But
half the effect is lost if the boys are in civilian clothes instead OF
in the uniform of their country. The inspiration is gone and the
full meaning of the occasion cannot be realized.
Through the efforts of The committee in charge Of the celebra-
ton all the Perth Amboy men who are still in the various camps
within reach of Perth Amboy and who have not yet been discharged
from the service are to be released for this particular occasion in
order that they may come home to participate in the celebration.
These men will be in uniform, of course. Military rules will not
permit them to wear anything else. Out of respect for these men,
as we'll as out Of respect for the city that is SO proud of her boys,
every man who possibly can should wear his uniform on this festive
occasion.
We understand there is some feeling among the men regard
ing the color of the ehevron they wear on their sleeve. Some Oh
the boys with the silver chevron, signifying service only on this
side of the Atlantic, feel some humiliation, it seems, when lined up
with the boys with the gold chveron, sgnifying overseas service
We have felt from the beginning that it was a serious mistake for
the government to discriminate in this manner for every boy in the
service was ready and willing to go wherever the government
wanted to send them. All were anxious to go to France and many
did everything within their power to get across, but the authorities
simply did not send them. But that is not to their dscredit and
the men who went over are entitled to no more credit than those
who also wore the uniform, hut who, through no fault OF their own,
were kept i'm this country.
We are sure that as far as the people of Perth Amboy are con-
cerned. all the uniforms look alike to them and the chevrons are not
considered. As a matter of fact, the average soldier has 50 many
iusignias on his sleeve these days that the average civilian does not
know what any of them mean.
By all means, boys, put on your uniforms Monday and let the
people who viii march by to greet you see you as you were IN the
service. 1t cannot help but dampen the enthusiasm considerably in
ordinary civilian dress instead Of the soldierly looking boys the peo,
ple-exPecr to see. 30 -
