POOR HARRY CAREY

Harry Carey and Kathleen O'Con- nor both have something in common
 After six weeks rest on his ranch
 Carey returned to Universal to begin work on Luck" under Lynn Rey- holds direction. But the title of this
 photoplay did not apply to Harry the
 first day. His opening scene was to
 box three lively rounds in a cabin,
 and the man selected as his opponent
 was none other than Eli Stanton, who serves as Jack Dempsey's sparring
 partner on occasions. That's a fine way to start a man off after finish ing his vacation" remarked Chey-
 enne Harry ,wiping the precipitation
 from his face nursing his bruised knuckles.
 Then we have the case of Miss O'Connor. Miss O'Connor, who has
 been sharing stellar honors was Jack Perrin in 1.-The Lion Man. the Uni versal serial, declared, upon finishing | that production, that she wished a vacation in which time to recover from the many bruises she received during the course of the filming of 1 the serial. But Miss O'Connor was | disappointed and was cast for a role 1 in Luck after which she will get l her vacation. And as Carey remarked 1 Miss O'Connor wants a vacation to l get rid of her bruises and I have | to come back from one to get mine ''

PLAZA,


 An unusually good three hours enter tainment was offered the patrons of the Plaza theatre yesterday afternoon The show ran long but every minute of it was entirely worth while The remarkable art of Win Rogers, both as comedian and as portrayer of pathos, is once more registered on the screen in his newest Goldwyn picture Water, Water Everywhere" In this picturization of William R, Leighton's series of Billy Fortune stories which appeared in the Saturday Evening Post, Will Rogers has the role of Western gentleman bent on sacrifice ing himself so that his friend and the girl that he himself loves in vain may find the happiness that is denied him There is good comedy pathos, TO- nance. drama and many other excel lent qualifications in it that make ii register as highly satisfactory offer ing,
 Bart McHugh presented Eddie Rave in his big musical comedy production, Broadway Higgins" There are IS people in the company and each per- forms admirably. Eddie Rave, him self, took the honors for an all round good comedy performance. His work IS clean anOs to say the ledSC, very funny and he had the audience with him from the start There is a real good story attached to the act and it takes five different scenes to unfold it. The song and dance numbers in terspersed are all that conld be de sired. MT. McHugh can well be proud of his efforts in producing such an act and it was certainly appreciated by the large crowd that saw it yes- terday. Jack Reddy with songs and character studies is one of the best singles that has appeared here. Every song was app1auded and he was oblig- ed to answer two encores.

EMPIRE.


 Today brings Dolores Cassipe11i, the Cameo Girl, to the Empire theatre in her newest Pathe picture entitled ''The Web of Deceit Realizing Miss Cassinelli's splendid emotional ability, F'inis Fox designed this story to sup ply the beautiful star with every op- portunity to bring out her talent. Taking two girls who bear a resem- blance in features but widely differ as to dispositions, the author has woven a clever and dramatic story in which the selfish frl by trickery, lies and deceit, gets the riches she craved, though they belonged to the other.
 Edwin Carewe is both producer and director of ''The Web of Deceit" the action of which takes place on a charming little New England farm and in New York city and fashiona- bIe Long Island. The action of the story calls for some particularly large and lavish sets. Very few characters are required to tell this powerful story. FitcheIl Harris.

This American Red Cross Work
Flourishing in Small Towns
Throughout Country.

More than $1,000 graduate nurses
have been enrolled in the American
Red Cross to date and its department
of nursing is daily increasing this en-
rollment.
The department of nursing has been
authorized to maintain an adequate
reserve of nurses for the army and
navy. 1t will continue To- supply the
needs of the United States Public
Health Service to which it has as
signed more than 1000 nurse, in the
last year.
1t will assist in establishing proper
nursing service in foreign countries
where the American Red Cross has or
gained hospitals, dispensares and
schools for nurses Courses in home
hygiene and care of the sick have been
started for thousands OF women who
have never received any education in
this direction. Rural nursing which
was in its infancy a short while ago

How Does Your Representative or

Suffrage Issue?

Does the Contitution of Vermont mean anything
Are you willing that amendments should be a.
dopted that violate its express provisions?
Do you believe that the Fathers of the State
knew what they doing when they provided that
the Legsa AZURE shall have power to add to, alter
abolish or infringe any part of this Constitution?
Do you propose to turn over to $50 men the
right to overthrow what the builders of Vermont set
up for the organic law?
If not, find out where candidates stand who seek
to represent you in Montpelier next January. Ask
mendment to the people, whether they come from
Vermont or Washington.
Tell them you want to be consulted about your
own business
1t is proposed to ratify an amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution providing for suffrage with
out consulting the people of Vermont.
That amendment strikes squarely at Vermonts
right to regulate the suffrage, which is the very

Ask your woud-be representative or senator
where he stands on woman suffrage.
Ask him where he stands on supporting the Con

Ask him whether he will join in a memorial to
Congress demanding for the people the right to

If he doesn't answer to suit you, vote against

Something approaching the traditional
Christmas rise in Wall Street occurred
last week after declining markets for
seven successive days had forced further
reactions of TO 10 points in specific
stocks. Under such circumstances the
upward movement was to have been
expected. being helped by the efforts
of bear spectators to take profits. That
movement emphasized, however that not
even markets for merchandise, food
stuffs. metals and other commodities
had reflected such drastic declines as
had markets for securities in this coun-
try. The downward reaction here has
established the active shares on a price
basis OF 90 to $50 points less than the
years high level touched last February.
The enormous liquidation of this month
in stock market which showed greater
breadth than any other markets ever
evinced has established splendid securi-

peal effectively to those having funds to
invest.
