In EXCUSE Ny Dust" the picture

has a vehicle that exactly suits his
breezy personality. 1t Is an automo-
bile racing story.
Wallace Reid is "Toodles" Walden,
manager of the "Darco" auto agency.
He Is forbidden by the president of
the concern and his father-in-law, J.

Theorode Roberts, TO race. But the
Target" people, their bitter rivals, in
an effort to learn the construction OF
the "Darco's" new motor. a close
guarded secret, issue a challenge to
road race from Los Angeles to San

CRANDALL'S.
Norma TalmadEe in
THE Social Secretary"

Norma Talmadge again exerted the
wizardy OF her charm at Crandalrs
Theater yesterday in the title role
of THE Social Secretary" This
splendidly executed study OF modern
society affords Miss Talmadse one or
the most fruitful opportunities OF her
career to reveal those endowments
which have placed her among the
foremost opponents OF pantomimic art
in America. Her beauty was never
more exquisitely emphasized than in
this picture, her dramatic power
never more forcefully stressed and
her interpretative sense never more
expertly employed.
The supplementary features OF the
bill are also notable. Chief among
these il the rollicking satire present.
ed under the eXasperatingly familiar
title Of I'm Ringing Your Party.
Another. Offering that never falls to
elicit amused response is supplied by
those two distinguished newspaper
gentlemen, Messrs. Mutt and Jefr, who
are Animated in one of their most
la1ghable pen-and-ink comedies.

RIALTO.
Sinners" Featuring
Alice Brady.

Realart Pictures presented At
Moore's Rialto Theater yesterday.
Sinners" with Alice Brady in the
same role in which she appeared so
successfully for several months on
Broadway.
Miss Brady Is cast as Mary Hor-
ton" country girl who goes to the
city and Is befriended by a woman
of questionable reputation. The cir
cumstance OF living with this woman
and associating with her friends
leads to accusations being made In
the little fishing village from which
she, originally came and to which she
returns. that develops some highly
dramatic situations. The star was
never seen to better advantage. she
is pleasing, satisfactory. and fortu-
nately in this instance, an undemon-
strative heroine; in other words she
brings to her audience all the emo
ton the part requires without over
acting, she is natural and convincing.
Almost rivaling the feature this
week, is a special presentation OF the
Prizma Color short subject, THE
Ghost of John Barleycorn," announced
as "tantalizing hit of photography
that will cause the boys more than
one sad tear"
As usual the musical setting for
the bill as provided by Daniel Bree-
skin. conductor Of the Rialto Sympho-
ny Orchestra, is an attraction of i'm
portance, the overture for the week.
Rossinis Barber Of Seville" being
perfectly rendered, the cornet solo by

THE CAST.
The houseful OF people mentioned


in our Introductory paragraph
laughed fulsomelyy at "oh Henry"
It's packed with lot OF clever lines
some OF them too clever to get
IsuEh-and quite a few amusing situa'
lions. The cast, however, falls to
make full use OF its wealth OF oppor-
tunities, and as a result there Is
slowness and unsureness to the action
and progress OF the piece that is df-
cidedIy unjust to Bide Dudley, who's
written a really clever farce.
Were 1t not for the enortless funni-
ness OF Dallas Wexford, the hard
work OF Florence Carrette, and the IN
genuousness and blonde prettiness OF
delectable Catherine Carroll "Oh
Henry" might have passed iEno-
miniously out. But these three did
heroically. and with their efforts and
the future efforts OF several other
actors who should replace some OF
the others now in the cast, one feels
pretty safe in predicting earned luck
for "Oh Henry"
Bide Dudley is newspaper man.
Naturally, he knows full well the
popular sentiment as regards prohipi-
ton. And OF this sentiment, he fully
avails himself in making "Oh Henry"
appeal to popular taste. For the
story hinges on likker, on happy
souse-apply the word to the man or
the mans state OF being. either-and
the mistake OF a bibulous butler.
When John Carson's new butler
draxs the inebriated stranger in by
mistake and places him In Mr.. Car
sons bed, Just before the arrival OF
Aunt Annabel. John Carson's rabidly-
prohibition sister, the run begins.
Complicate this with a lot OF misun-
derstandings, a sweet little love story,
n gawky and movie-mad maitland,
OF course, some more likker-and
there is comedy that will be en-
joyed by nine out of ten people. me
ohibitionist, who constitutes the
tenth person, may not laugh, but he'll
only keep a straight face for the SAKE
of appearances.
The entire action is staged in the
living room of the Carson summer
home-a dainty set. by the way. 1t
transpires within the four hours be-
tween $50 and II 80 OF hectic sum-
mer evening, and at the end every
thing ends. happily, even for the hap
pily stewed stranger. who proves to
be none other than
Well, that wouldn't be fair to tell
you. It's surprise ending that
brings the final curtain down on
laugh instead OF the explanatory
twaddle that ends so many other
farces.
Altogether. "Oh Henry" has posi-
bilities galore. With some changes
in the personnel OF the cast, and
some speeding up Of the action. there
is every reason to congratulate Bide
Dudley. ii. 1. l..

TALK
BUNK SAYS KANE
Former U. S. Attorney Here
Warns Congressional Commit
tee Against Sedition Act
N. Y. MAN ATTACKS RADICALS

Washington, Feb. 6.--Testifying be.
fore the House judiciary committee here
today. Francis Fisher Kane. who re-
signed as L. S. district attorney for
eastern PENNSYLVANIA. declared that
''most 'Bolshevism talk in this country
is mere bunk.
Mr.. Kane, who resigned because he
was not in sympathy with Attorney
General paliner's camnaign against po-
litical radicals, testified before the
House committee against anti sedition
legislation.
"During the war" he said. "I had
an opportunity of observing the opera
tion of the Espionage act. | want it
understood clearly that | was in favor
of the passage of this act. I found.
however, that in the very large majority
of reported violations of this act. the
basis of complaint was trivial. and fire.
quently complaints were based upon
spite.
Would Create InformantS
'In view of this experience, | believe
that the passage of a ScditiOn act would
result in the making of countless in
formants and the creation of reign OF
terror.
"As l have said before such an act
is necessary in wartime. The times
are different now. We must beware
how we stir up unnecessary trouble.
Let us remember, too, that in time of
peace there is no excuse for the abridg-
ment of freedom of speech and OF the
press.
1T is ridiculous to suppose that
there is conspiracy atoot to capture
this government by force. Considering
the size of the United States and the
fact that we are Il nation of 100 900,
600 people, there have been extremely
few outrages commit ed since the armis-
tic.
'Practically no arms or explosives
have been found in the possession of the
people recently arrested for deporta-
ton. The state courts may be left to
deal with actual disorder unless it
transcends ordinary bounds and becomes
q real menace to the republic.
Federal Interference Unwise
''It is not. therefore. wise for the
federal government in advance to in
terfere. 1 quite agree with Judge An
derson, in Massachusetts,. who, after a
similar experience as United States at
torney, says that the present excite
ment is not justified by the facts, and
that the most Of what we see in the
newspapers regarding the menace of
'Bolshevism' in this country is mere
bunk -
Attorney General Charles D. New
ton, of New York. disagreed with Mr..
Kane's views, declaring that thousands
of radicals, backed by a radical press,
were daily advocating the revolutionary
overthrow of the government and the
establishment of a dictatorship.
Congress and the people of the
United States should awaken to the
danger of the doctrines of these radicals
and take necessary steps to curb their
propaganda, Mr.. Newton said

the resolutions:
First. The national defense act. in so
far as it applies to the National Guard,
should be first thoroughly tried before
any alternative legislation is enacted.
Second. Men should have the option
of short field service or National Guard
