this particular picture the versatile Ray gives a wonderful demonstration of this angle of his unrivallod art.
 The story deals with an auto sales man, victim of fear, misfit in the business world, the object of ridicule from his fellow workers. but beneath it all a man-with an indorns-able win, and powerful force, awaiting it's awak ening, which comes in most pleasing manner. Once aroused. he proves a mighty factor in the world of sales manship, and the final qpisodes of the story deal in a delightful manner with the love romance which eliminates happily for all concerned.

'R|GHT TO WORK AS SACRED AS RIGHT ID
 STR|KE,' DECLARES

"The right to work is as sacred as the right to strike" was the message Jim Osborne brought to Phoenix ad- vocates of the open shop movement at a meeting held in the Masonic building last night Osborne has been given q 99 years suspension from the Boiler makers Union of Tacoma. Wash. be- cause of his activities in the strike or metal tradesmen of Tacoma when he thwarted the. plan of the radical ele- ment to commit violence.
 That strike in the northwest opened the eyes of the people there to the real conditions brought about by radlcal leaders and a movement for the open shop was started. But the movement was late and the red element has pat the great northwest on the bum
 In bearing out this assertion Osborne called attention to the decrease Tn shipbuilding on the Pacific coast.
 Tt isn't because contracts can not be had" he said. France came 10 the Pacific coast with orders for 30 colIiers which would mean $15O,OOOA- 900 in contracts. But when radical union leaders appeared on the scene and said they would have a voice in carrying out those contracts the rep resentatives of France declared they were through with dealing with the red element, as they had learned their lesson at home. and they took their order to the Atlantic coast
 According to Osborne the Pacific coast is rapidly lining up for the open shop. He declared that within IS months even San Francisco would favor alike the union and the non- union worker.
 For the first time in 30 years it appears that San Francisco is ready to throw off the shackles of the closed shop." he declared. He said he be- lieved Phoenix had taken strides in the right direction by having the courage to placard open shop building con- struction with open shop cards.
 He condemned the cooperative stores which have been established in Tucson. and which seem likely to be established here as dangerous things
 They cannot succeed because they are promoted and managed by men who have not been trained in business life and who are not qualified for the work Some of them are grating schemes to induce the workingman to invest his money in worthless stock -.
 "One thing is evident" he said. Both the manager of industry and the workingman must live from indus try, and whatever injures industry in jures the whole people. Laboring men complain they do not receive their pro rata share and then in order to receive it they stop production by striking, which thereby lessens the supply, and though they may receive greater compensation as result of their ceasing production is it not req sonable to believe that the wage will be thesame because of the higher price of commodities which result?"
 Osborne is on his way to Texas where he has been invited yb several cities to give advice and make talks on the open shop movement.

 The important thing is that Eve in Exile is to be played at the Columbia theater for two days beginning today, and that it is a vivid, striking and sensationally honest picture of modern society. There are enough stars of filmdom enlisted in it's service to stock half dozen ordinary productions and it has been given the most artistic and elaborate ountingm that money, time hard work and picture making genius could encompass.
