ENID BENNETT HAS
 VARIED ROLE IN PLAY
 AT EMPRESS TONIGHT

The best recommendation for "The Woman in the Suitcase" will come from those who saw it last night at the Empress. "Without doubt the best thing Enid Bennett has done" was the universal verdict. The charm ing Australian star has many friends among our local film fans, and she added to the number last night through her humanly natural inter- pretation of the role of Mary More land" Vivacious, appealing, and al together fascinating, she touched the heights of drama and of comedy with equal ease.
 The Woman in the Suitcase" is romance wherein fun and adven- ture alternate with moments of tense emotion. A picture that will keep your eyes riveted to the screen, and that is quite out of the ordinary in story and direction It is being shown again for the last time tonight
 On Saturday night only, another comedy program has been selected, William Russell, big, rollicking and handsome, plays in the five reel western comedy-drama This Hero Stuff" picture full of laughs and surprises. And as ah additional com edy feature, there will be shown My Dog Pal" the best two reel ami nal comedy we've seen yet. This in itself is a "headliner," and makes to- morrow nights program one to look forward to With real joy.

however, congress would be more di- rectly responsible to the people. As it is congress gets in for two years. and cannot be removed within that time, no matter how inefficient it proves itself to be. The situation re garding the cabinet, under our sys- tenn. is similar cabinet officer sticks for four years, if he retains the confidence of the president, and can not be removed short of an impeach- ment, which is rarely tried The other system would remove an inef- ficient cabinet officer in short order and in fact a whole cabinet, along with an unsatisfactory congress.
