continue to pay the high wages. and the htsn
prices for materials. too. If the public would
continue to pay the price that building under
such conditions would cost. 1t is not the build
ers' fault that building operations have all but
ceased They are just as anxious to get con-
tracts as the men are to work. but the old bogie
in the form of that economic law OF supply
and demand bobs up to upset the best OF IN
tcntions II the public refuse to build under
existing conditions the only thing to do Is to
make conditions so that they will build This.
we believe. is the sole object of the efforts
now being made to get the bosses and men to-
sether on satisfactory readjustment Of the
wages scale.
II is easy to understand the reluctance OF
labor to accept lower wages. No one likes to go
backward particularly IN the matter of dnan-
cial income Yet the wise ones realized at the
time war demands advanced everything to an
abnormal figure. that such prices and such
incomes could not be maintained permanently.
The manufacturer and the business man is not
making anywhere near the money today that
he made during the war. The income from
invested capital is not nearly great as II
was during those unusual times. Capital, in
war and labor also made big money. But that
time has passed for both. Pending a readjust-
ment back to peace conditions both capital and
labor are idle to a large extent Both will be
employed again as soon as both realize that
wartime conditions cannot longer obtain.
Yet humanity and civilization is always ad-
vancing. While a reduction in wages from the
war standard may. at first thought. seem like
going backward. the new rate OF wages will,
formerly The only fair comparison for prices
and wage scales is with the rates that prevailed
before the war. In this respect labor stands
to gain a great deal. While it cannot hope TO
maintain the wartime scale 1t will maintain
a scale higher than was formerly received.
For one thing, the eight-hour day has been
adopted for many who had never
known 1t before. 1t ought to be maintained
everywhere and any employer who attempts
to return to longer working day deserves de-
feat. For these eight hours, the average work
err is going to receive more money than he ever
did before, although not much as he re-
ceived during the exceptional times when war
was on. Working conditions going to be
better. home life is going to be improved and
the standard of living is going to be raised once
the world settles down to its normal life again.
But before this can be realized the readjust-
nent has got to be completes: readjustment de-
pends largely on building and building cannot
be revived until the cost of labor follows the
cost OF materials is being reduced from a
var basis to a peace basis.

ADJUSTMENTS
WAY DOWN EAST"
 SUPERDRAMA. AT JEFFERSON
By EsTELLE BErHEA HALE

With the even throb of ' heartbeats, Way Down East showing at the lief ferson this week. moves through one of the most touching, exciting and at the same moment amusing dramas that has ever been seen on a local screen. The story that tells of girls heart. of many simple human experiences and of two kinds of love vieing in the life of girl, one, from the man who takes and the other from the man who gives, is above all else super-picture.
 David Bartlett, untutored but with visions as wide as the world itself, is forcibly enacted in one, of the powerful portrayals of Richard Barthelmess. Young Bartlett is one of the finer souls that love. The man for whom she entertains lasting as eternity. He gives this won derful love to Anna at the moment ol their meeting.
 The role of Anna is enacted by Lillian Gish with sweet simplicity and fine pathos. Anna's inexperienced heart IS caught in the tide of infatuation before she has ever known the full meaning or live. The man for whom she entertains this infatuation plans and consummates d beastly mock marriage, which results in his desertion of the girl.
 The most striking thing about Way Down East,'' however, is the reguiaritS with which the pathetic theme IS re- lieved in comical scenes and situations. Some of the best comedy ever screened runs through and about the seriousness of the story

"MAN-WOM MAN-MARRIAGE"
 ELABORATE PRODUCTION

From standpoint of beauty and ele- gance, the ballroom set which was built for the drama-eternal, Many Woman Marriage" released by Associated First National Pictures, Inc, to be shown next week at the Trianon was the most elab- crate ever constructed.
 The set measured 90x120 feet and at eachvend elaborate staircases were built The columns which supported the arch over each stairway were of marble, 4 feet in diameter and 50 feet in height Statuary adorned each side of the en- frances, and consisted of some of the most beautiful pieces from the homes of California millionaires. The ballroom floor was of the most elegant hardwood, and required three weeks to build
 The entire cast of Man w oman Mar riage." including over 5000 supernu- merares and technical men, spent weeks at Chatsworth Park, Cal, filming the Amazonian sequence of the production.
 Holubar states that during this period his six cameramen filmed over 120,00o feet of film for this episode of the stu pendous allegorical tale In order to stage the big battle scenes, it was nec- essary to engage over 1,200 horses, 42 trucks and 6,600 costumes, in addition to hundreds of lamps, etc. Tents were pro- vided for the entire staff and bunch of showers sufficient to cover a city block were built. Huge stoves had to be transported to the location in order to feed the ever-hungry artists. Hospital tents were provided for the injured and sick, with two competent physicians In constant attendance.
 And when the production is projected on the screen of the Trianon theatre, this Amazonian sequence will last less than eight minutes, which gives an idea as to what the movie producer must go through to get the desired results.
