Wallace Reid in "Sick Abed'' Strand Feature This Week

Wallace Reid first attracted attention as Geraldine Farrar-p leading man In Carmen" Of late he has been de- voting his attention to light comedy and the results have been most pleas ing. ''The Lottery Man" Excuse My Dust" and "The Dancin' Foor are among his most recent successes, and equal to them in humor and entertain ment Is "Sick Abed."
 The story concerns on Reginald Jay, who gets himself into Imaginable complications through trying to help an old friend of his fathers out of scrape. The latter has earned the wrath of his jealous wife because he went to g. roadhouse with a certain lady customer of his firm. Reginald is wanted as star witness in the pending divorce suit. To escape1 ne feigns sick and a pretty nGrse is as signed to attend him. Not only does Reggie put over the deception suc- cessfullY but he wins the nurse in the bargain"
 However, before Reggie wins his pretty nurse. he has some heavy ex plainlng to do. The nurse. despite her beauty, is a serious minded young wo- man who believes in her profession, and if that wasn't enough in one day, there is regular doctor called in on the case. These situations only lend to the humor of the play
 "Sick Abed" will be shown from Monday through Saturday.

SEX, WONDER DRAMA
 0F THE SCREEN, AT ALCAzAR THIS WEEK
Problem Is Beautifully Pre- sented and Entirely Free From Sticky Sentiment
 tality and Has Lesson

''sex" is startling. even bold in spots. but very, very nice.
 The picture at the Alcazar this week has undeniable virtues and just as un- deniable vices, but they belong to the characters in the piece, for Sex has a "soul"
 A problem, beautifully presented and cleverly analysed that leaves us with q sense of the infinite at the end-which is distinctly unusual-and which is entirely free from the sticky-sweet sentimentality of too many photoplays, is the theme of Sex" produced by J. Parker Read, Jr., and directed by Fred Niblo.
 The story of Sex is universal We never quite appreciate, before seeing Sex how skillfully such subject could be handled and yet with what vivid pow er There is nothing overdrawn, neither is there anything evasive about Sex" :" The art of the producer. applied with law ish yet discriminating hand and the tal- ents of the cast make Sex" superlative entertainment and food for thought.
 In the story of Adrienne Renault there is lesson to thousands of frivolous cre- atures who fool themselves into believing that youth lasts forever, that pleasure is life's chief object and that one can violate the laws that regulate our do- mestic lives and get away with it.
 Adrienne is a gorgeous creature of New Yorks tumultuous night life who never steals d mans love from another woman oh no-she only finds the love the other woman has lost" This philosophy, pa irons will agree, is the sophistry that ex- ists in this community as well as in larger or smaller cities among certain type represented by Adrenne Renault. One of the biggest lessons in Sex" is the picture of woman trying to settle down.

Few plays in recent years have at tracted the attention of theatregoers as 'eThe Deep Purple" the melodrama by Paul Armstrong. Now this famous stage success has been brought to the screen and it will be shown at the Colonial theatre the first half of this week, beginning tomorrow.
 Picturized by R. A. Walsh, with an all-star cast, "The Deep Purple" is said to be one of the most absorbing melo- dramas of the season. It is a story of New York, of blackmailers and of the leading brains of the underworld. The screen production is said to enhance the effective situations of the spoken drama.
 The story of ''The Deep Purple" is that of Harry Leland, who attempts to use Doris Moore, young girl from upstate. as his foil in getting large sum of money from a wealthy young mining engineer from the west. The girl is deluded into going ahead with the plot, but the engineer turns on the blaekmailers with a gun and gets the girl away from trem.-
 The engineer falls in love with the girl. but is uncertain as to her guile 1essness. He tests and proves her hon. esty, but the blackmailers trace the girl and abduct her again. Then begins a battle of wits between Lake and the badger workers.

now Is expected that the Central will

first -class ball towns could be formed
from this list.

ferrlng to obtain franchises In the

Chicago.-Whether the specter of a
nationwide railway strike has been
laid by the $500, 100000 wage increase
remained undecided.
Brotherhood officials, after confer
ences. made no attempt to conceal
their disappointment that they did not
get all Of the billion dollar increase
they asked. The belief grew, however,
that the union officials would submit
the award, probably without recon-
mendation to referendum of the men.
Railroad representatives immediate
~ set about plans for passing the
$500, 100000 addition to their wage
budget along to the ultimate consumer
in this case the man who pays the
freight, Judge r. NJ Barton, chairman
Of the United States Railway Labor
Board, had hardly handed down his
decision when E. T. Whittier, repre-
senting the more than 400 railroads
involved, announced that the roads
would need an increase Of Is per cent
in freight rates to meet the wage
boost.
The $500, 100000 award represents
q per cent increase In the pay Of the
railroad men. Mr.. Winter estimated
the 1920 payrolls at 1894, OO0, 900,
more than double the $1,468 ,576, 894
paid in 1915.
The boards award was made retro
active to May l, with provision that
back pay for three months falls due
August 1, when $150,0O0OO0 is to be
distributed in addition to the regular
pay. Yard service engineers, fremen
and helpers who received an hourly
increase Of IS cents, will get the big
gest checks, their three months award
totalling $110.16.
In its decision the board followed
the broad general policy that the man
who received the least should get the
most. On percentage basis the big
gest increases went to the unskilled
and semi-skilled labor.
The one notable exception to this
general rule was the yard service
men, whose 10 cents an hour increase
topped all others. Here, the board ex-
planned, the deciding factors were the
extreme hazard to life and limb and
degree Of skill required.
The award, If 1t is accepted by
the men. will bring to a close, at least
for the present, the board believes,
the seemingly endless cycle Of wage
demands from the railway workers
Starting with the demands Of 1915,
which were met for a time by passage
Of the Adamson law, there has been
an almost continuous procession of
rail unions before various government
boards and commissions, all demand
ing changes in pay.
An analysis Of the decision shows
that the $6OO,000,0OO increase will go
to the larger classes of employees in
substantially the following basis:
Railway clerks and freight handlers
$123, 100000.
Maintenance Of way employees
SIC, 29s,OO0.
Engine and trainmen 1857, 100000.
Railway shopmen $139, 237, 900.
