John Barrymore and his excellent sup porting east" with big and" between the play and the great actor, is one of the very best pictures, in my opinion, that has ever been shown on the screen; and whether you are a movie fan" or whether you are just a "reminiscer' about the days when you fairly poured over the pages of Robert Louis Steven son'si wonderful story, you will be the loser if you do not see it.

 O clivity, by physical pulchritude, by the sheer magic of his fascinating personality, when he appeared on the screen at the strand Monday in the ini- tial performance of this picture of the great Robert Louis Stevenson classic "Dr. Jekyll and Mir Hyde,' fairly swept an audience that taxed this popular playhouse to it's utmost capacity off It's feet.
 Such acting such characterizatcn, such finesse, such heights as he reached have scarcely ever been seen before m the film world, and MT. Barrymore adds another great success to his already long line of successes both .on the screen and the legitimate stage by his magnlti- cent portrayal of the dual role in this thrilling story.
 Whether in "The Jest or as Richard III" (Mr. Barrymore most recent Broadway achievement, whether on the screen in The Test of Honor" or in pr Jekyll and Mir. Hyde" John Barry more is the artist-uneXcelled, unquan- fiedly one of the greatest actors of the ages
 In "Dr. Jekyll and MT. Hyde," MT Barrymsre surpasses himself in all for- mer successes in his cinema work, char acterizing and contrasting the two roleS with superb effect.
 As Dr. Jekyll, MT Barrymore LOOKS his handsomest, with a fine, strong ana determined face, that show no evil. AS MT Hyde he undergoes transformation which is a psychological triumph, pre- senting bony hands, an apish head ana distorted features, which are the very personification of evil. In fact, ms makeup as Mir Hyde is fully as hideous as one would suppose from Stevenson s description. His hair is long and strag- glng; his eyes are brilliant, but sunken and shifty; his head is like monkeys, with retreating forehead and egg-shaped crown; when he grins, decayed and crooked teeth are revealed; his back IS hunched, and his legs are bent; while his arms and hands look like the legs
 and claws of crab.
 l Stevenson gave no specific detalls about the horrors of Hyde's private life, only hinting at his debauchery ana
 cruelty here and there, save, of course,
 in telling of his trampling the child and | murdering Sir Danvers Carey. Flo in- stantly, there Is but the barest indlca- 1 tion in the book, that MT. Hyde re quented opium dens, cheap music halls | and other low resorts, but in the picture

Perhaps it is due to the fact that
other Democrat candidates for the
presidency seems to be making little
Roadway that Champ Clark finally has
announced his entry into the race. At
"houn' dawg" at his heels, Mr.. Clark
is entitled to consideration by his fell
low Democrats. He was given a raw
deal at Baltimore eight years ago. By
all rules of the game he was fairly en-
titled to the nomination. But the
Democrats probably will follow their
long established custom and do as Col

Much stress is being laid on the fact
that the switchmen's strike was inau-
Eurated in opposition to the orders of
the union officials. But this does not
makes it less annoying to the public or
less damaging to business. The fact
that it lacked official sanction is no
reason why the public should submit
TO it. No strike can be excused which
brings suffering to many in order to
benefit a few. The time has come to
make it plain that this government is
not to be conducted for the benefit of
organized minorities. An organized
majority would put an end to that
policy. When that time comes we
shall not see sheriff permitting a la
Dor leader who has been committed to
his custody for contempt, to make a.
speech calling the governor OF his
state a skunk. II union labor, holding
itself apart as a class, decide to pass
on the qualifications of candidates and
to vote only for those who declare
their Willingness to do its bidding, the
people on their part should see to it
that those who seek public office rep
resent the interests of the majority in
stead of the minority.
