More and more are those people who
write scenarios and adapt plays and
novels for the screen becoming of i'm
portance and interest to the motion
picture fan. A surprising thing about
this end of the photoplay business is
the fact that there are so many women
doing that work. 1t is not broad
statement to say that the majority of
the best known scenario writer's are
women. This is all by way Of introduc-
ton to Miss Marion Fairfax, whose
many screen works are SO well known.
J Miss Fairfax, who in real life is Mrs.
fully Marshall, comes originally from
Richmond, Va. She has had long
and varied career on the stage, in stock
and writing and adapting plays for the
screen. Among some of her works are
anton the Terrible" THE Primrose
Ring" "Hashimura Togo, THE Clever
Mrs, Carfax" and The Secret Game,
Her most recent work is The River s
End" the famous novel by Sir Oliver
Curwood, which is to be released soon
as the first of Marshall Neilan's indie
pendent productions.

Hungary was suggested for that posi-

The women factory workers have

truth. The housemaid and laundress
are also steadily climbing into the we'll

the salary lines In their work.

Day thoughts are directed to the
boys who marched away two years

We are also reminded of the time
when it was announced that they

A fund was raised by popular sub

bration and the city appropriated
money to increase the amount. or
this fund there is still a balance in
the treasury. Also We understand
that an appropriation by the city has
not been used.

Editor EVENING NEWS:
Kindly let me have a small space
In your valuable paper in which l
would like to give Mr.. Joseph Greer,
Jr.. a few points on the subject
which he wrote in the copy of the
EVENING NEWS of Thursday last.
Now, does Mr.. Greer, Jr., know
that it is the talk of the world how
Ireland is being treated by England
and that the greater majority of fair
minded Americans are in sympathy
with the small Republic. Did he ever
read in newspapers. how England
destroyed the big buildings in Dublin
in 1916. killing hundreds of men.
women and children. Did he eve
read of the many murders commit.
ted by England of Irish people in the
last few years. Now, / think Mr.
Greer, Jr., should look over the pa
pers a little more before trying to
write on a subject.
/ would also like to know why Mr..
Greer mentioned all the nationali-
ties that fought for America and
forgot to mention one of the best
races of people that helped America
during the World War. Did MIR.
Greer ever read the casualties of the
A mericans? Did not a big majority
OF lTlSfl DoyS OF lTlsH Dlrln ana lrlSn
descendants fight in this war?
Did Mr.. Greer do anything for the
good of the nation, while we were
at war. or did he remain back home
in Perth Amboy. where he could new
err hear a sound of a gun or cannon,
except the explosion which occurred
over at Morgan, and perhaps this
brave man was the first to get out OF
town
Now, Mr.. Greer, If you wish to
know anything about the way in
which the Irish is being treated,
kindly buy a newspaper or try to
meet somebody to talk over the sub
ject with, before trying to let the
public know something you know
nothing about yourself. 4

TIME TO CLEAN HOUSE.

Resolutions passed by the Minis
terial Association of Perth Amboy
calling attention to the gross viola
ton of the prohibition laws here
once more brings prominently before
the public a situation that Is a dis
grace to the community. There are
two phases to the liquor problem
here. One is the "~bootlegging" that
Is going on, and the other Is the
open violation of the law by saloon
keepers.
In regard to 'bootlegging'' there
may be some excuse because of the
fact that the federal government au-
thorities have been more than liberal
In the issuing of permits TO carry on
this trade. Persons arrested for
carrying whiskey produce permits
and are also defended by someone
having the necessary authority from
the government to deal in the stuff.
While there Is no doubt that crooked
work is going on, as long as these
permits are valid the traffic cannot
be easily dealt with.
But when it.comes to the open sale
of liquors over the bars in this city
1t is a matter for the local author
ties and there is no excuse for their
failure to do their duty. Saloons are
fourishing just as they did before
the eighteenth amendment was
adopted. Nothing is being done. ap-
parently. to stop this lawlessness. /,
is ridiculous for the police to say
they cannot get the evidence. They
have the evidence. All that is need
ed is a determination to enforce the
law.
The city has suffered greatly be-
cause of the whiskey business thai
has been going on here. 1t is pretty
nearly time to clean house.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1920-11-08

funds that the people OF the city may
have donated or that the aldermen
may have appropriated in connec-
ton with the World War veterans
ought either to be set aside as a
nucleus for the memorial which the
city intends to build some day, put
ting It in a bank where 1t will be
drawing interest, or the money
should be turned over to the Perth
Amboy Post of the American Legion
for them to use in their patriotic
work. This money cannot rightly be
used for any other purpose neither
would there be any justification in
any other organization share
in its benefits.
