II has been bad week for Hylan,
bad week for Tammany, bad
week for Hearst.
When time brings this campaign
into retrospect it will be commonly
agreed that it was in these opening
days of October that the tide of pub
lie opinion turned for good and all
against these wreclers Of the city.
The filing of the Transit Commits
sion's comprehensive reorganization
PIN was an unexpected and stag
eering blow. The strategy of Hearst
aad Murphy had determined that the
single issue upon which Hylan could
and, the one thing left with which
their manikin could hope to gull the
voters into returning him for an
other four years, was the tve-cent
fare myth. And, as in the twinkling
of an eye, it was destroyed.
Hardly had this happened than
the scandal of the schools smote Hy-
Ian anew. In his fatuous decree that
part time shall cease, he puts the
whole system on part time. There
is only one way that part time may
De ended, and that is by the erection
of sufficient schools TO afford a seat
for every child for full school day.
But Hylan and Hearst think that
i. requires only stroke Of the
Mayors pen to solve the problem.
Al the DEGREES and all the proclama-
tons that Hylan can utter and all
the printers ink and headlines Hearst
can employ will not obscure the
schools as the abiding issue OF this
campaign any more than the testi-
mony which the week has heard
brought forth before the Meyer COM
mttee.
Let not Hearst and Murphy and
Hylan think that taxpayers are go
ing to ignore what stands revealed
Of the petty graft which has
oeen carried on in the maintenance
with public money of privately
owned automobiles. 1t is the sort of
thing voters resent.
What a record it is for working
men and women to contemplate! For
gas and tires and oil for the Mayors
car alone, $500. For Police Com
missioner Enright's, $3.50. And
among the items charged up to
Smooth Dick we note -four linen
busters, four summer robes. three
pairs of goggles and one pair of
held glasses
In desperation Eylan and Tam
many and Hearst are endeavoring,
with all their demagogic Wit, to re
vive the fve-cent fare myth as an
issue, to the end of distracting atten-
ton from the schools and Hylan's
gas and Enright's robes and field
glasses and Inspector Dwyer's real
estate transactions, but they cannot
succeed. That tissue is as dead as
] dead macl.erel. Only desperate
men would say Of the McAneny plan
What they are saying. Only despera-
ton can be responsible for their
bind condemnation Of all the plan
proposes--a plan which means a
saying of $4o,oOo,0O0 year.
Indeed, this has been a bad week
for the wreckers.

With the scenarist in "Dulcy," W. L.
George believes that the motion pic
lures are still in their infancy, but
that even now they are quite capable
Of doing some OF Shakespeare better
things. In the course Of "a London
Mosaic,' however, Mr.. George suspects
that the actors Of the cinema impede
the progress of the art, and that until
the old traditions of acting pass, as
they are passing, the films VIII remain
what the late ". I. Stead called 'drivel
for The dregs." The traditions, Mr.
George says, are represented by hero
ines with enormous eyes and more
teeth than Lulu Denifricc; by young
men with straight backs to their
heads half pound Of white meat on

IN the event that the foregoing inn
purnment hurts the feelings Of Rupert

LLOYD'S LATEST, GREATEST
LAST TIME TONIGHT, GRAND

There are a lot of people in this
town today who are a living, laugh
ing advertisement for "Now or New
err" the new Harold Lloyd comedy
shown for the first time yesterday
at the Grand theater to hilarious
mobs at every. performance.
"Now or Never" is the best of the
Harold Lloyd special comedies, and
this reviewer has made point Of
seeing them all. It is three reels tone
reel longer than heretofore) of some
of the funniest gags ever gathered
together in one comedy. They are
put over in the well-known Lloyd
comedy style. r, -,
Lloyd rides into the story in a
high-powared car, reducing the ami
mails and natives of various villages
en- route to a state of shell shock,
shooting through barn with the
ease of "Big Bertha" and losing
his money.
He continues his journey on a train
where he, Mildred Davis, four-year-
old Anna May Bilson, and the entire
Rolin force of comedians afford SO
much amusement that you wish they
were taking coast to coast trip.
"Now or Never" together with
May McAvoy in "The Forbidden Val,
ley" charming romance Of Old
Kentucky, making a double feature
program, will be shown for the last
time tonight at the Grand theater

First y National attraction starring
Katherine Macdonald, which opens

against q background which verges

large department store. She is saved
from arrest by youth who moves

quaintancet rapidly ripens into love.

'.THE FOUR HoRsEMEN OF "a,
THE APocALYPSE" FRIDAY

In a war-torn region Of blacklist
Russia, a sad-eyed, melancholy man
sat among his books and reflected
that the prophecy of his conscience
had come true--that the four horse
men Of .unthihkable power had de-
scended upon the earth-riders whose
several purposes were their names:
Conquest War, Famine and, Death.
And the matter of a man and maid
the double pivot upon which swings
a massive s&world-presented them
selves as representative characters,
fitted to portray the thoughtiess at
titude of the world at the breaking
out of the Great War. Vincente Bias
co Ibanez looked through the melan-
choly eyes of the lonely Russian and
he saw what thoughtful, fearful
man must see-the inevitable truth.
He placed his puppets in the heart
of the turmoil; faced them with ira
the four horsemen; set about to test
the four horsement; set about to test
their souls as only master can test
thu inherent nature of man, and
when the moment of s'fnis" came,
it found these representative mortals
quite ready to accept the several
tfates laid out for them. Metros
screen version of "The -Four Horse
