NASHVILLE. Tenn. Aug. 1S.-Rati-
fication of the woman suffrage amend
ment to the federal constitution was
again before the lower house Of the
Tennessee legislature when it went
into session today.
After four hours debate on the
ratification yesterday the legislators.
wearied by the long debate, voted 50
to "A to postpone action until today
Although the suffrage hackers were
apparently in favor of continuing the
debate until decision was reached,
they declared the vote was no indica-
ton of sentiment as several members
whom they declared favor suffrage,
cast ballots for adjournment.
Suffragists held to their claim to-
day that the house vote would show a
majority for ratification, thus insur-
ing equal suffrage for the national
elections this year If the house rati-
flies, it will make Tennessee the thir-
ty-sixth state to approve the amend
ment, making it effective.
The leaders of the suffrage forces
here were not discouraged by the act
ion of the senate of the North Caro-
lima legislature postponing action on
the ratification resolution

Apparently the line up had been
changed but little since adjournment
yesterday afternoon. Doubtful" mem

were made to bring pressure to bear
on them.
Numerous conferences were held.
among them one of suffrage workers
at which the vote was canvassed. Miss
Charl Williams, leader of the Tenn
essee sufragists declared, after the
meeting, a majority of votes wir be
cast in favor of suffrage The anti

tic.
The motion to concur in the reso-
luton of ratification passed by the
senate remains before the house and
leaders plan to force a decision in
this when debate has been concluded.
Strategy has been carefully arranged
and there may be some parliamentary
maneuvering.

Rialto-"The street Called
Straight.

A good story or star is the jewel of
motion picture; the cast, settings,
acting and directing. its mounting.
In which connection, 1t must be said
that in the photoadaption of Basil
Kings famous story, THE Street
Called Straight" as presented at
Moore's Rialto Theater yesterday by
Samuel Goldwyn and Rex Beach,
both the producers and the theater
have a production which Is a jewel
appropriately set A setting which
contains none of the, alloy or me-
diocrity but which claims for its ele-
ments the pure gold Of tensely in
teresting. smoothly unfolded tale,
magnificently directed and interpret
ed by cast including Naomi Chill
ders, Milton Sills, Irene Rich and
Charles Clary.
The story of "The Street Called
Straight" contains the tremendous
clash of four strong wills leading to
a problem, the only apparent solution
of which means the wrecking of three
lives for the salvage of one. Pic
tured as 1t is with force and power,
the story grips one from the start
and holds one until the final fade
out. Charles Clary docs excellent
work as Henry Guion, the Oldest iiv-
ing representative of a New England
family. who misuses funds entrusted
to him in order to keep up social APP
pearances. Naomi Childers " seen

PaIace-Mary Pickford In "PoIIy-
anua.-

The first day of 'Pollyanna" at
Loew's Palace Theater yesterday
was typical of the first days run of
a Mary Pickford production. but it
was unusual by reason of the fact
that the production itself was so
far superior to the average screen
production.
"Pollyanna's" philosophy has
been portrayed by Miss Pickford as
optimism-a "gladness" for things
which might always be worse. Her
story was taken from the glad
books by Eleanor H. Porter, which
have been read by millions of
people.
Such a bright sunbeam rarely
fits across the screen and those
who saw Miss Pickford in Polly
anna" will have a lasting reminder
of her for a long time to come.
"Pollyanna" will never grow up for
her philosophy will always remain
the same truthful "gladness." as
long as human nature exists. Miss
Pickford is indeed a most lovable
character as the glad girl" She
has never been more daintily sweet
and charming. for she has one OF
those sweetly appealing hearts that
grip one from the very start. Her
wonderful performance as the little
orphan ,waif, places her even on q
higher pedestal than she has been
heretofore.
Her winsome personality and en-
trancing beauty indeed lend them
selves to embellish her flawless in
depreciation of 'Pollyanna" and her
very presence on the screen was
suggestive of the joy of living.
This is Miss Pickford's first in
dependent production for United
Artists Corporation.
An attractive and unusual array
of subsidiary features conclude the
bill. The Palace Symphony orchest-
ira, under the leadership of Director
Cannon, contributes Selections
from the New York Hippodrome
Show" as an overture selection.
"Pollyanna" will be the Palace at
traction all this week.

has become almost as famous as
the versatile comedian himself, but
in this rewritten book. presented by
Joe Hurtig, Wrothe shows to the
best advantage of his long career.
The famous farce of "Janitor" Is
reproduced into a one-act playlet,
which is hustled through with ra-
pidity that keeps the audience m an
uproar as the catchy lines, although
old ones, are hammered across with
such a punch that 1t simply takes
the audience by storm. In the new
book the cast Is forced to unraveI
a farce plot that means nothing
when every thing is finished. but it
gives this we'll talented company
plenty of opportunities to display
their ability.
This wonderful dream of wrothe
Is staged in two acts and eight
scenes which carries him through
the high life in Gotham to the hills
of Mexico. Wrothe is ably assisted
in the comedy by Lee Hickman,
while Owen Martin in the straight
role is easily the best that has been
seen at the Gayety this season. His
magnetic ability to hold his au-
dience proves a great help to both
Wrothe and Hickman in putting
over their humorist lines.
The leading feminine parts are
well taken care of, as Mile. Babette,
a character woman, far surpasses
anything that has been witnessed
to date. while Miss Donna Haig as
the ingenue can both sing and
dance. Miss Buster Perry as the
soubrette has a style all her own
that brings out the clever ability
OF both her charming voice and
nimble feet.
The Marks Brothers along with
Clair Evans also contribute selec-
tions and vaudeville stunts that
help to make this revue the best
that has appeared here this sea-
son.
The leaders are supported by a
typical Hurtig beauty chorus which
can both sing and dance. The show
has been elaborately produced and
provided with an excellent musical
score. Among some OF the leading
numbers are They're All Sweeties,"
My Name is Kelly" THE Kid
From Madrid" "Darktown Dancing
School" Mexican Honeymoon" and
"Bally Hoo-Bey."

Kramer Gives Talk
On Duty of Churchgoins

Practical Christianity was the
theme OF the address of John K.

before the Gospel Mission. 216 John
Marshall Place, last night.
At no time did Mr.. Kramer touch
on the prohibition question. He ex-
pressed deep regret that SO many
persons were more interested in the
movies than they were In religious
services and cited statistics which
showed that nominally only 10000
900 Of our llO,0OO.0O0 population
were church members.
To live life SO selfish as not to
be missed when claimed by death
was the saddest thing that could
happen to one. according to Mr..
