ADJUSTMENTS
CORINNE GRIFFITH
I'm STARTLING PLAY
OF THE UNDERWORLD

Corinne Griffith, fascinating star
of the Vitagraph forces had a decid-
eddy different role in 1.-The Tower of
Jewels" in which she will be seen at
the Colonial theatre today from
what she is accustomed to play.
There is always an element Of hu-
man interest to a "crook" play and
there is more than the usual in this
new and really startling produc-
ton. Much Of the success of the
piece depends upon the ability of
Miss Griffith in the role Of Edith
Cottrell, a real princess Of dia-
monds.
Miss Griffith clearly shows that
Emily Cottrell is crooked by force
of circumstances and that she has
risen to great height if the under
world because it is impossible for
her to do anything in a half-hearted
manner.
Emily Cottrell is an unusual
character. She possesses a strong
will power and determination. She
is not easily frightened and sub
dued. She has pride and sense of
honor which win admiration and re-
spect. The picture wildly contrasts
a crook Of Emily's character with
the cringing and cruel characters of
the underworld. She is called a
princess, because she has the bear
ing and dignity of princess.
Jimmy the Rat is a character that
wins sympathy. He has a sense of
right and wrong that would have
made him famous had Fate thrown
him in different environment.
There is no sob stuff in the pro-
duction. no whimpering no weak
characters and no pleading for mer-
cy. 1t is a play where every char
acter is strong and goes forward
according to the light that is given
with no traces of weakness.
While similar plots have been de-
veloped upon the screen and while
there is nothing unusual in the de-
velopment of 1.-The Tower of Jewels"
it has something about it that holds
the audience in its subtle power.
1t is a picture that most people like.
1t sends many away from the thea.
tire with a new grip on life and faces
turned toward better and nobler
things. 1t does not preach a ser
mon. neither does it moralize: but
it shows a page Of life as it is with
out polish or fourishes.
Since the Hallroom Boys first ap-
peared at the Colonial several weeks
ago. they have proved just az pop
ular on the screen as they have in
the comic strips in the newspapers.
In They Do It on Eight Per- in
which they will be seen at the CO.
lonial today. they are better than
even and the comedy is jammed

Old Indian Jail

The old Wyandot Indian hewed-log
jail which stood for 50 years on the west
bank Of the sandusky river at Upper
sandusky. O.. was the scene of one Of
the last Indian legal executions in Ohio.
The Jail was two stories in height. The
entrance was from the north side
through = heavy plank batten door on
the outside and a grated iron door on
the inside. The floors were Of hewed
eight-inch square lumber. In the sum-
mer of 1910 two Wyandots quarreled
about jug of whiskey. and one of
them was killed. At the trial the whole
Wyandot nation met in council and
voted that the murderer should be ex-
ecuted by being shot by firing squad
in the river bottom nearby,

HeipfuIness Of Criticism

1t is natural to resent criticism. We
dislike anything that shakes our
self-complacency or compels us to
think. Here and there a man has
learned the real service Of criticism
and usually he is man who has at
tanned to more than average success
in life. We are all more or less like
the proverbial ostrich. We like to
convince ourselves that our faults are
really our virtues, in that we are do
ing good work in the world when in
truth we are tagging far behind our
actual capacity and drifting along
rather than really living.-Wiiliam p,

activities the date Of Save Money on
Meat Week in New England has been
postponed from the week beginning
March 9 to the week begir ming April Il
It Is understood that oficials in New
England pointed out that fact that,
on account Of Holy Week. the consump-
ton Of meat is likely to be much reduc-
ed during the week beginning March ..
This might result in failure to reach
numbers Of persons who otherwise
would be glad to take advantage of
the less costly cuts Of meat during the
special week set.
1t is expected that the postponement
not only will make It possible to inter-
est more people In the campaign but
also. by giving moro time for prepare
ton and organization. will render the
whole campaign more effective.

from college of the managing editor,

under the magazine art staff. De-
spite this the chancellor said the
faculty considered the art work in

The record breaking sales Of the
magazines started Immediately after
news of the chancellor'S edict was
nOised around the campus. and by
noon there was not a copy to be had
at any Of the news stands.
The chancellor's ire was further
aroused by an advertisement OF a
