 Tenny Hilson Jed quite a few num- berS and scored with her voice and
 jazz mannerisms. Vivian Lawrence, Violet Hilson and Dolly Meden, the other principal women cast, looked we'll and did everything to make every line, number or bit of business register.

The Best of Luck" the Metro pic tur1zation of the celebrated Rrury Lane melodrama, was shown yester- day at the West End theatre It proved to be a feature attraction of superlat1ye merit. Done on a col ossal scale, this swiftly-m owing story is fairly packed with excitement, sus- tadned action and spine chilling thrills.
 Cecil Raleigh, master of melodra- matfc plays; Henry Hamilton and Arthur Collins were responsible for the stage version of ''The Best of Luck" At Drury Lane it created a furore.
 '"The Best of Luck tells of a dash. ing heroine, Leslie Macleod, who foils the attempts of a villanous Spaniard. General Lanzana, to compromise her and cheat her out of fortune which lies in the hold of a Spanish galleon sunk a century before.
 An al-star cast appears in s@The Fest of Luck" which was produced by Screen Classics, Inc, and suservis- ed by Maxwell Karger. Kathryn Adams is beautiful and fascinating as the daring Leslie.

SOCIALISTS GLEEFUL
OVER BIG SHOWING
Claim 1000, 900 Votes, Nearly
Four Times Party's
Strength in 1916
BY the Associated Press

Chicago, Nov. 3.-Socialist party
national headnuarters here today
claimed 1000 900 votes for Eugene v.
Debs in the country, nearly four times
what the party got in 1916 and more
than twice its record vote in the Debs
campaign of 1912.
The Socialists also claimed the elec-
tion Of Victor Berger to Congress In
Wisconsin and the election of eight as
New York city. --latest returns from
Bergcr's district, however. showed him
running more than 1000 behind his Re
publican opponent. Hope was held at
national headquarters of the election to
Congress OF Meyer London in New
York. No word had yet been received
from Socialist ,strongholds in Oklahoma.
Socialist success in New York city
results from the natural growth of our
propaganda in our strongholds and a re-
action TO the expulsion of the New York
assemblymen. Otto Brandstetter. ma
tional Socialist secretary, said here to
day. "The expulsions have wonderfully
strengthened us In our best districts
there.
"Our New York vote is proportion
may be exceeded prOportiOnately only In
oklahoma. where we cast large per-
centagc OF the total vote.
1.-THE election shows we have lost no
material strength to the Farmer Labor
party and that this new party has not
gained anything to justify its existence.
The returns prove conclusively that
there Is but one labor party in the
United States-the Socialist party"
Davenport, Ia. reported that the
Socialist vote had been almost quad
ruplcd over four years ago.
