AT THE COLONIAL

She had believed her husband dead and had been married to another man for years. and then she is confronted by him when he comes to rob her new home This is the situation which the bishop S wife had to face in that thrilling melo- dramatic romance of English society, "The Bishops Emeralds," in which Vir- ginia Pearson is being starred at the Co., lonial theatre.
 Miss Pearson is recognized as one of the greatest emotional actresses before the camera. She brought with her to the screen the results of years of work and study on the stage, and this experfenc' shows in the artistic handling of each role. and as the bishops wife she is said to be at her best. She is supported by a strong cast with Sheldon Lewis, known as one of the greatest heavies in the movies, as her leading man.
 .'The Bishops Emeralds'' deals with the efforts of an international crook to steal the famous jewels of a bishop who is married to a beautiful woman whom he loves deyotedly. The crook manages to have himself invited to the bishops house and he discovers that the bishops wife had married him when she was a girl and had remarried when she heard that he was dead.
 For the price of his silence he demands that she hand over the emeralds to him. But fate in the guise of the crooks valet and companion in crime takes a hand, and the tangled web is strengthened out.

The Motion Picture News of this week says:
 The Dupont Powder Company is re- ported to have made attempts to pur- chase several of the leading motion picture houses in Salt Lake. l> has de- Veloped, says the rumor. that the com pany is to attempt a consolidation to control motion picture exhibiting in the United States.
 Recently meeting is said to have been held in Colorado Springs behind closed doors in an exclusive hotel of the directors of the First National Exhibi- tors circuit including two prominent Salt Lake exhibitors. This is believed to have been a preliminary conference to discuss the move of the Dupont in terests. Twenty directors, owners and operators of the largest circuits of mo- ton picture houses in the United States are members of the First National
 The initial sum which the DuPont peo pie are claimed to have placed ready for use is reported as s1oo, o,o0o,0o. Each circuit and the houses it composes has been allotted a portion of the initial outlay of the DuPont interests as a sale price, the story goes.
 If the above is true and there is no req son to doubt it, 1t might be well to re- mem Der that the English exchanges and exhibitors have just finished an inves- tigation into the fact that Famous Players Lasky, of which Adolf Zukor is president, and the Hearst Syndicate were trying to invade England with motion pictures.
 It might be we'll for all Americans to remember that where there is so much talk there must be some reason, and that with control of huge chain of mo- tion picture houses a means of spread ing propaganda or educating the mass es to almost any viewpoint would be opened up. The question naturally aris- es: What in the world do the DuPonts want with motion pictures?"

Senator Hiram W. Johnson created
no furore with his speech in opposition
to the league of nations at Burlington
last week. The fact remains, no
matter how much our members of
congress may want the opposite con-
ditions to prevail, that the people of
this country are for the league The
would-be presidents and many Re-
publicans would do much better for
themselves and their party if they
would not follow the rigid partisan
ship of the Wilson administration,
and bob up at every opportunity to
oppose such things as President Viii
son proposes, but show the country
the way to the great reconstruction
program which must be mapped out
There is work for our statesmen
without always opposing something.
Let them propose instead of oppose;
start something instead of stop some
thing. If Hiram Johnson ever had
any chance to be our next president
he is killing himself with any at
tempt to oppose a league of nations.
If he is big enough to point the way
to something better than the propos-
ed one let him do it.
