THE TEACHER IS PAY.

Without knowing the details
Of the affair, it apears to us that
the l4awton teachers who quit
their Jobs in a body because the
board didn't have the money to
raise their salaries were in the
wrong When they entered into
contracts for the year they knew
what they were going to receive
aud approximately what it would
cost them to live and hence it
was up to them to carry out their
contracts in good faith. How
ever when this is said, all the
justice in the controversy VI no
doubt on the side Of the teach
ers. That as a class teachers are
the most poorly paid workers in
the world today, is scarcely open
to question. The compensation
which the teacher ordinarily re-
coives is by no means commensu-
rate with the importance of the
service performed and it IS en-
tirely out Of line with what is
paid to workers in other lines.
Supt. w. j. johnson, who is
quoted in Harlow's Weekly re-
veals some astonishing facts in
comparing the salaries re-
ceived by teachers with the COM
pensation Of other workers. Bas-
ing his study on conditions in
Oklahoma alone, Mr.. Johnson
discovered that The annual maxi
mum salary of grade teach
ers is $S71.35, with a minimum of
$692.50 For janitors, she found
the maimum annual salary
TO be $789.50 and the mini
mum $62l.33. For lawyers the
was $7300 and mini
mum 1854; dray maximum
$4,000, and minimum. $500; sec
ton hands, MAJ nun $500 and

 STARTS TOMORROW

The presentation of new Tom Mix picture is always an important theatrical event. His latest film, Prairie Trails, " will be the attraction at the Rialto this week, beginning Monday. It is from the popular novel by James B. Hendryx, au- thor of The Texan" which also was filmed recently with Mix as the star.
 Booksellers report that the novel of western life, always pleasing to large classes of readers. is gaining in popu- larity by leaps and bounds. It has long passed all other kinds of novels.
 Tom Mix is a marvel on horseback. but it is a remarkable fact that many of his most startling feats are independent of his skill in horsemanship. Witness his great leap over a cliff in Prairie Trails" I" The cliff is at least 40 feet high. Three men are struggling at the bottom.

The Seasons Best Offerings at the Local Theatres
THE DRAMA
The Stage and Screen as Sister Arts.
 By MRS. 5. F. WILkAnE ON

Holiday week is always regarded as rather 'lean" week in the theatrical world. In fact, I heard Mir William Faversham say that sthe business managers count three "offp weeks in the season, viz; Christmas week. holy week and St. Louis.' (That city being considered one of the chilliest proposi- tions encountered). But to the con trary ana notwithstanding several of the most notable productions of the New York season had their premiers last night and the night before, Be- lasco offers "Deburau," starring Lionel Atwill, which is said to be the great est French play to come to us since 'Cyrano de Bergera.'
 We also eagerly await the advent of dainty Ruth Chatterton in the Mary Rose" of Barrie. Too late, how ever, 10 report today.
 And so, while there is little of the Legitimate for us to consider this week, come on. let's me and you" go to the movies!
 Technically. I must confess I know very little about them, nevertheless 1 like to go to the pictures occasionally, and I am interested in them on ac- count of the very close relationship that exists between them and that an- cient and honorable art, the drama In the first place we all know that the theatre is, in spite of the vogue of the aforesaid. a much larger institu- ton than it was 15 or 20 years ago, which was about the time of the birth or this sister art of the stage
 The great hue and cry has been, since the cinema has achieved any de- gree of excellence and popularity, that it would literally be the extermination Of the legitimate stagei
 There was a good bit of excitement while back when it was discovered that one big picture concern had se- cured control of three or four New York theatres, with the intention of producing only plays which would later be made into moving pictures. The fear of course, being that the plays would be chosen hereafter not on merits but as to the use as screen material.
 But so far no disaster has happened. Last year, the very year the picture msgnates took a hand at producing plays, proved to be the best season the theatre has enjoyed in years. There were more worthy plays than for several seasons past. In one in- stance, as in Beyond the Horizon" I" it is quoted it was movie" money that financied the project and made possible the project of the ONeiil play. And this year, which at the first of the season ran somewhat to musical shows and lighter Norms of entertainment Is speeding up" fast redeeming itself, and bids fair to equal last year.
 It seems to be the opinion of the leading dramatists that there is plenty of room for both the screen and the stage, and that they may eventually and very happily supplement- each other.
 Is it not a fair comparison to say the moving picture is to the drama what the photograph is to music.
 Something of the same relationship at least, on appealing only to the sense
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-12-26

of sight the other to the sense oi Iearning-both mechanical.
 One notable fact in connection with
 the cinema is the vast number of lit- erary lights of the time that are writ ing for the different studios.
 Clayton Hamilton, well known as the author of ''The Theory of the Theatre,
 Seen on the Stage" and other books
 on the drama, is now in the west and
 says he finds the craft of making pie lures more interesting all the time and declares he has a happy time collaborating with such valued friends
 aa Gertrude Atherton, Gouverneur Nor. ris. Elmer Rice, Bayard Veiller, Avery Hopwood and others
 Rudyard Kipling is the latest of tho English authors to undertake writing for the screen. Mir. kipling will adapt some of his published stories to the motion picture and write new origina
 scenarios. Two of Mir. Kipling's works The Light That Failed" and "Nau- lahka," have been pictured. - Rupert Hughes, who is writing for the, pictures, finds fault with them in certain regard and with him l think we all agree.
 His complaint is that every picture roade is intended to be universal in its appeal. He makes the assertion that anything which seeks to please every body is apt to please none" Owing to the high cost of production and dis tribution the idea of the producer is to interest all theatregoers in every pie ture he makes. paying prepostrous sal aries to stars" because their names art expected to attract people by the mil lions.
 One of the very best books on the subject of the motion picture that l know of is Cinema CraftmanshiD' II written by Miss Frances Patterson who is instructor in photoplay compo- sition in Columbia university. In her discussion along the same line as Ru- pert Hughes speaks she observes: The motion picture audience is not T unit. 1t is made up of people of varied Intellectual and social planes. No pie ture can be conceived which will have $ universal appeal Publishers would not attempt to publish book that will appeal to everybody in these United States. They publish fiction poetry, history, travel. thus catering to catholic tastes Motion picture pro ducers and exhibitors must do like wise.
 There are signs that those at the prc. uuNiiS ollu oL the enema art are taking some cognlzance of the fact (which mus
 be entirely cordent to them) that there IS great need of pictures made for ado
 iescence and childhood. I notice a recent
 item to the effect that, intending event ually to establish a permanent motor picture for children, the New Yori Junior Sinema club has established a se- ries of matiness at a large Broadwa 5 picture theatre. This organization nas among it's directors and patronesses sucT names the Franklin Roosevelts, the Da- vid Rumseys, the Lewis Gouvernor Nor. rises. the John King Van Rensselaers and many others. It was interesting to note that among the picture shown were Mau- rice Tourners Treasure Island,' Irene

 Sir James M. Barries big little play, The Twelve-Pound Look" has recently been made into a picture in England. It has been made into full length feature" it is acclaimed.
 Somehow I am uneasy as to what they may do to that play and what they will make of it. What do you suppose it will be called? Why she left Harry?" or Freedom for Kate" or "The Outstepping Female"-maybe.
 When we recall that Barrie's "The Admiral Creighton" was filmed and shown under the horrid name of Male presses ones emotion most thoroughly is the raising of clenched fists to the heavens.
 It is said that the little Scotch play wright cares not at all how they changes his plays, or what they are called, once he turns them over to the picture producers.
 But we must n<t be too exacting with Little Sister Cinema" the young est of the arts.
 I read with interest what William DeMille says of its development and ultimate destiny:
 "The motion picture today has about the same relation to it's ultimate de- velopment that the miracle play of the fifteenth century has to modern drama. The reason for this is that, up to the present we have been almost wholly devoted to perfecting our craft We have now developed this craftsmanship to degree that enables us to present our story we'll. Therefore it behooves us to strike into new fields and make this motion picture the art that it is destined to be-"

 How her dreams came true makes many interesting developments in "Stli1 Hosiery" the Paramount feature with Enid Bennett as star, which will be shown at the Galax Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

REBELLION PLOTS AGAINST
U. S. MADE PUBLIC
Department of Justice Has Proof That
Reds Sought Soviet Rule All
Over the Nation.

Washington, Jan. 5.-The depart
ment of justice revealed plot by
which the radical leaders, targets of
the nationwide raids, planned to over
throw the American government and
seize control of the country.
Evidence in the hands of the au-
thorities, they said, proved that the
groundwork for the revolution had
been laid. Everything in representa-
tive government-the authority of the
nation, the right of property, and the
idea of labor unionism included-Was
to oe swept aside, and "rule OF the
proletariat" substituted.
The Communist party and the Com
munist Labor party were to be the
founda tons on which would be reared
a government of the soviet. These
bodies were directly under control and
direction of the Russian soviet.
The first step was to be the disrup-
ton of union labor as it now exists,
and the seizure of power by the rad
icaIs. Then were to follow the gen.
eral strikes. and the attempt to over
throw the government of the United
States.
