 It is a graphic picture of life and shows flat such transgressions are far-reaching and may have disastrous results, not only on their perpetrator, but on it's inno- cent victims as well.

The story abounds in dramatic situations which follow swiftly upon each other and build up to a startling and effective climax.
 When Men Betray is portrayed by al. all-star cast including such characters as Robert Elliott, Sally Crute, Jack Mo Lain. Stewart Holmes and Ta1lulah Pank- head.

is a tale of people who think of noth- ing but methods for amusing them selves. Into this atmosphere comes a girl who is really out of her ele- ment. She is fitted for better things than the society of the "walkoffs.' The name comes from an old legend that when man was being created there were several models, and one of them walked off before the brains were put in and that his descendants still infest the world.
 But the girl refused to be tied down by this element and she worked out her destiny in pleasing and striking manner. The Hattons are familiar with the people and conditions of which they write and they have made of "The Walkoffs," a comedy drama with a punch.

GOV. COOLIDGE
TAKES OFFICE
SECOND Time

| BOSTON, Jan. 8-The Massachu
, setts legislature opened It's annual
session today and listened to the ad'
dress by Gov. Calvin Coolidge. He
opened his address by referring tc
of the notable accomplishments Of
1919-the prohibition of disloya
speech and action, the cul'bing of the
profitecrs, the advance in education
and the establishment of a 48 houl
week. He urged his hearers to resist
proposals for needless legislation
saying that Massachusetts, was less II
need of new law than ever before
On the question of taxation he said
that in whatever form taxes were
laid they fell on the people and that
high taxes make high prices. "Hav-
ing met our war obligation to pay, lei
US meet. our peace obligation to
save"
The Governors concluding words
were devoted to law and order and
are as follows:
There are strident voices urging
resistance to law in the name of free
dom They are not seeking freedom
even for thcmsclves-they have it;
they are seeking to enslave others,
Their works are evil. They know it.
They must be resisted. The evil they
represent must be overcome by the
good others represent. Thse ideas
which are wrong, for the most part
imported, must be supplanted by
ideas which are right. This can be
done. The meaning of America is a
power which cannot be overcome.
Massachusetts must lead in teaching
it. Prosecution of the criminal and
education of the ignorant are the
remedies.
Laws arc not manufactured,
they are not imposed; they are rules
of action existing from everlasting to
everlasting. He who resists them re-
sists himself; he commits suicide.
The nature of man requires sover-
eighty. Government must govern.
To obey is life. To disobey is death.
Oragnizd government is the express
sion of tn life of the Common
wealth. Into your hands is entrusted
the grave responsibility of its pro-
lection and perpetuation.

Saturday may have been se1ectedz as
the date for the exchange for ratifi-
cation of the Treaty of Versailles
because Of the fact, for one thing,
that notable assemblage of Allied
statesmen is likely to be present in
Paris on that day. These statesmen,
who have been taking part in the
conference over the Adriatic ques-
ton, left today for Paris for con-
tinuation of the conferences. Their
going will result in the presence Of
Lloyd George of Great Britain and
Premier Clemenceau of France. Japan
undoubtedly will be represented by
their minister to France. 1t has been
announced that the United States
would not be officially represented.
