GARRICK.
Lionel Barrymore in
"The Letter of the Law"

"The Letter of the Law" Is an Eng
lish translation OF La Robe Rouge"
by Eugene Brieux: Lionel Barrymore
is playing the stellar role, and John
ID. williams will present the new
piece at the Garrick Theater for the
week beginning next Monday night
Mr.. barrymore will appear as
Mouzon, the ambitious, scheming ad-
ministrator, who seeks to use his Of
Ace not for the purposes OF justice.
but to gain his own advancement.
"The Letter of the Law" relates
the story of Etchegare, the peasant
accused by Mouzon OF murder. He
is innocent and Mouzon knows II. In
his endeavor to convict the man Mou-
zon digs up some old history of his
wife which wrecks the life and hap
piness OF the Etchegare family. The
conviction fails, but this does not
compensate for the misery the effort
has brought to this poor family.
There is a swift vengeance waiting
for the mercenary administrator, and
how futile has been his life Is shown
by the fact that as he lies before his
confreres, dead, they just look on
him and, then forgetting the man,
begin to discuss among themselves
their individual rights in the promo
ton which he had hoped would be
his.
Mr.. williams Is sending with Mr..
Barrymore an exceptional company OF
players. including Doris Rankin, Russ
Whytall, Zeffie Tilbury. George
White, Clarence Derwent, Maude Hos
frod, Frank Kingdom. Ada Boshell.
Charles Greene, Leona Hogarth, 10
sephfne Wehn. Lionel Hogarth, james
Hagen, and others.

Ing to sacrifice others for his own
betterment and advancement. IL Is
such men, theic pettiness, their lack
OF humanity whom Brick arraigns In
the character OF MouZon.
Such a character Is delightful to
express. That may sound strange to
you, for he is not a pleasant person.
Put the work of the artist Is In max
ing a perfect picture and has little
relation TO the actual motives and in
stlnctS OF the character he draws. So
II is a great satisfaction apd gtcat
pleasure to know that one Is able to
accomplish a perfect charact <izGtioI Il
OF even such a man as Mouzon."

PRICE FIXING |
IS ALL WRONG
HARDING PROMISES THAT IT
SHALL CEASE
FARMER SUPREME
He Declares That Producer Mast
Not Be Hampered In Furnish
ing Food Stuffs to the -~s
World 4
(AssOciated Press)

Minnesota State Fair, Sept. g.
Senator Harding addressed an i'm
mense audience at the fair today. He
paid a tribute to the farmer and
said: 1.-THE time has come when, az
nation, we must determine upon a
definite agricultural policy. We must
decide whether we shall undertake
to make of the United States a self
sustaining natiOn-which means that
we shall grow within our own boun-
daries all of the staple food pro-
ducts needed to maintain the highest
type Of civilizatiOn--Or whether we
shall continue to exploit our agricul-
tural resources for the benefit of our
Industrial and commercial life, and
leave to posterity the task Of finding
food enough. by strong arm methods,
IL necessary, to support the coming
hundreds Of millions"
Discussing Republican plans for
agriculture he declared: "We prom
ise to put an end to unnecessary
price fixing Of farm products and to
i'll u-considered efforts arbitrarily to
reduce farm product prices. In times
of national crisis, when there Is
known scarcity Of any necessary pro-
duct, price control for the purpose OF
making fair distribution Of the
stores on hand may be both neces-
sary and wise. But we know that
there can be no repeal Of natural
laws-the eternal fundamentals. Tne
history of the last three thousand
years records the folly Of such ell.
forts. II the price Of any farm pro-
ducts, for example, is arbitrarily FIX
ed at point which does not cover
the cost of production, the farmer Is
compelled to reduce the production
of that particular crop. This results
in a shortage which in turn brings
about higher prices than before, and
thus intensifies the danger from
which It was sought to escape. In
times past, many nations have tried
to hold down living costs by arbi-
trarily fixing prices Of farm pro-
ducts. All such efforts have failed,
and have usually brought national
disaster"
Harding said he favored larger
representation for farmers In govern.
mental affairs, establishing OF coop.
erative marketing systems, curtan-
ment of unnecessary price fixing, adj
ministration Of the farm loan act so
as to reduce farm tenancy and pro-
vide long term credits, restoration OF
railway facilities to higher efficiency,
revision of tariff to protect farmers
from unfair competition. He said
the government drive against FOOD
prices usually merely reduced prices
received by farmers without bene-
fitting the consumer.
