At the Maiestic.

In the opinion of Maxwell Kar-
ger, director general of Screen
Classics. Inc. special productions
who, with Richard A. Rowland
president Of Metro. presents Nazi-
nova in her super-dramas of the
screen, the photo production of the
recent stage success, The Brat,
with this supreme actress as its
star, not only serves to establish
more firmly her wonderful emo
tional talents, but also acclaims
NazimOva as a dramatist of the
highest order.
Through all the successive stops
from the selection Of the play
itself, the consideration of its mo-
ton picture possibilities, which
were weighed on the seyeTest
scales. and the decision to produce
the play on the SCREEN" said Mr.
Karger, ''NazimOVa has shown her
self not only conversant with the
most minute details of production
and picture values, but also a keen
ness of vision seldom exhibited
even by producers"
While in New York last season
in search of suita bic material for
her screen appearance, Nazimova
came upon The Brat" Maude Full
toms great stage success which Oh
iver Morosco produced for long
runs in New York and on the road.
with a copy of the manuscript"
said Mr. Karger. "Nazimova left
New York for her country home.
With her leading man, Charles
Bryant, she read and reread THE
Brat" and each time with added
enthusiasm.
Being of a very impulsive ma
ture she decided then and there to
adapt it, and the manner in which
she has acquitted herself from
technical viewpoint is a permanent
proof of a skill in this direction
that fully equals her marvellous
histrionic and emotional ability"
June Mathis made the scenario
of "The Brat" from Nazimova's
working synopsis. The Brat" is

At the Best,

With prices soaring and every
household in the land feeling the
steadily mounting cost of living
while the European countries are
clamoring for more and yet more
of our products, the entire thought
of the country is conferred upon the
problem of conserving and dis
tributing our food products, upon
which vital factor hinges our life
as a nation and even the issue OF
the recent world war. THE Public
be Damned" which is being dis
tributed by the Select Pictures cor
poration, deals with this tremen-
dous problem and follows out the
lines laid down in the govern
ment's food conservation program

THE BIRTH OF A NEW YEAR.

The birth of the new year did more than mark the downfall of autocracy
and arrogant ideas OF the worlds most ambitious potentate. It. marks an
epoch OF reorganization Of industry. A new order Of things will be estab
lshed, new methods applied and better results will follow.
Out Of the chaos CT var signs are already visible rs being entirely new
ideas to the minds Of American citizens.
zone of these new ideas, says the Wilmington, N. CO. Star in a recen'
and capita, the Fundamental basis of all of Americas wealth.
"Embodi,ent of this idea is found in the establishment Of one inpWarf
agency Of the Government, that Of the UNITED STATES EMPLOYMENT
SERVICE. This will have a big part in the reorganization Of industry afte-
the war Plans arc being constantly promulgated by the government at the
present time for this adjustment period in which the Employment Service
will be used with great effectiveness.
"The accomplishment CT this arm Of the Department of Labor is really
remarkable for the short time that it has been under the organization. Be
fore the war the Government only maintained q few such Offices in the larger
cities but these were primarily created for and used by immigrants. From
this nucleus, however, there ere now more than sever hundred and ffty-sevcn
Offices in the United States, all being organized o q permanent basis, follow
ing out and improving the employment system maintained in other countries
by their respective governments for many years before the war.
cit can hardly be said that the emN oyment service is fully appreciated by
the people, unless on takes into consideration the very brief period Of its es
Enlistment, but IS time goes on it will more than merit it's existence. Heads
of business establishments fer years have verify hoed their own TOW in mat
ters pertaining to plant employment and in many cases they have been skep
teal and unwilling to leave the beaten path. This has often applied to those
engaged lin war work, but the Government stepped in o n the first of last Au
gust and took over the common labor of the United States and laid down in
structions to be carried out for the benefit Of all war industries as a necessary
measure OF account of the tremendous shortage. These plants have piorit
over non-war industries. The Government handles both the recruiting ant
distribution Of labor, and since this change was made the labor conditions q
a whole have steadily improved. Some of the best brains Of the country hav
= been assembled in Washington to guild G the organization of the employment

The average motion picture direc-
tor is nothing if not resourceful. This
was proved during the filming of "Lit-
tie Miss Hoover, Marguerite
Clark's latest Paramount photoplay
which will be shown at the Grand
Theatre Monday and Tuesday. Newly
Matched chickens were required dur
ing the development Of the story, but
there were no chicks any where in the
vicinity of the studio at Fort Lee, N.
j., where the picture was filmed.
It was necessary to pass up the
scene where the chicks are employed
until a brood could be Matched. Miss
Clark went to- Washington while John
S. Robertson, the director, bought an
incubator and packed it with fresh
laid eggs. Three weeks to a day, the
chicks were Matched and Miss Clark
recalled from Washington by wire to
the studio where the necessary scenes
were photographed. Miss Clark has q
delightful role in Little Miss Hoover
and she is supported by picked play
ers, her leading man is Eugene o.
Brien, q. well. known actor.

Be PREPARED

The successful mar is one who can
meet emergencies, whether it be in
milking a kicking COW or directing.
an ocean liner. The auto driver or
tractor operator is no exception to this
rule. Nay, it is even more true in his
case than in any other.
I have a profound admiration for
the man who can drive a car or trac-
tor, IL handle a stationary engine any
where and under any condition with
perfect confidence-one who has no
fear of what may possibly happen and
who knows that he is ready for any
emergency.
Back of such c%onfidencet there must
be experience, of course; but there is
another thing which is more important
than experience-it is proper equip
ment. You can't repair a tractor or
an automobile with a penknife, a shoe
buttoner and cuss words. You usually
make matters worse with such equip
ment.
Many people buy tractors or auto
mobiles and think their trouble is ov-
er-that the machine will do every
thing under the sun if they will pour
a little oil in this hole, a little water
in that hole, and keep the fuel tanks
filled comparative regularity. When
something goes wrong they say, II
think she'll make it till night" or "I
believe I shall be able to finish this
field" and SO on till a perfectly good
machine is ruined. Little repairs are
thus put off until a machine becomes a
rattletrap. Repairs that do not seem
to amount to much are, in the final an
alysis the things that add life to the
tractor, OF auto, OF truck and makes
the money that has been investea
doubly profitable.
In making repairs it is usually best
to go slow and be sure. There is not
MUCH electricity in cold metal. Try.
: ing to drill into it too rapidly is al
. most sure to result in a broken part
especially if the part is made Of cas-
iron. Too much force on a bolt or nu'
: will result in stripping threads or ;

tally true where a large wrench i
i used to tighten a small nut. The op
e orator has a great leverage and eX

Nut or bolts should never be tight

y chisel and hammer. If a mechani
q wants to lose his job in short order
IS let him try the plan when the maste

IS not good for your machines. Almos
any nut may be removed by a properl
fitted socket wrench. II every obst

ENRIQUE GALLEGOS HURT
ALIGHT!NG FROM TRAIN

Enrique Gallegos, 20 years old, of
Albuquerque, is in a hospital at Ell
Paso as the result of being injured
when he started to get off a special
troop train near Sanderson, Tex. The
lower part of his body was crushed
and it was feared that he received
internal injuries. ~aa
Gallegos enlisted in the army at Ell
Paso early last week and was sent
to Camp Travis for physical exami-
nation. He was found to be under
weight and started back to Ell Paso,
hoping to find employment there. He
was said to have little money and
boarded the troop train at San An
tonic. At Sanderson he was discov-
cred by men in charge and ordered
off. AS he started to obey lurch of
the train threw him between two cars.
There were no medical officers on
the train, but the soldiers gave him
such attention as they could until the
train reached Eel Paso.
Gallegos served in the 143d ma
chine gun battalion during the war.
