Washington, D. c., December %
World production of commercial
cotton for 1922 was placed at H.
$4,000 bales by the Department of
Agriculture in a report made public
last night. This is the smallest cron
since 1900, the report stated, and
compares with 2O,65O,OO0 bales bro
duced in 1920.
Two of the most important cotton
producing countries, the United Sta
ties and Egypt, suffered crop "disas-
tiers" during the year, the report as
serted, producing only GA per cent
of their total production in 1920. The
cotton crop in China, South Ameri-
ca, Mexico and many other countries
while said not to be so important
commercially was reported smaller
than usual Russia, which immedi-
ately before the war produced around
100000 bales annually, has practi-
cally ceased to grow cotton.

A NEW VIEW OF
RAILROAD WAGES

It is interesting, in view Of the
talk to the effect that railroad labor
ers are paid high wages, in conse :
oeunce of which the managers of
the lines are only able to keep the
wheels going round with difficulty to
note the announcement Of Sen. LaFol
the announcement of Senator LaFol-
lette that he intends to produce facts
in the Senate showing that railroad
labor's wages are less today than at
the beginning of the present century.

port at Sis bales as compared with
10,768 for last year prior to the same
date. This means practically fifth
less this year than last for the coun-
ty and when the additional fact is
taken into consideration that this
years crop is much earlier than last
years crop the inferiority of this iii
point of number of bales falls still
further behind the 1920 crop.
The report for the entire State is
803,898, this year as compared with
/ ,255,871 for the same date last year.
This is somewhat above the estimated
report of some time back to the eff
feet that the entire crop for the state
would run less than 100000 bales,

"The Frontier of the Stars"

"The Frontier Of the Stars" Charles

who will be remembered for his ex-

THE Frontier of the Stars" is a
gripping story OF flashing contrasts,
eliminating in a romance of the most
poignant and intoxicating tender
ness. Meighan, seen as man of
rough exterior who knows only the
seamy side of life and les wickedness,
Is contasted with intensely fascinat-
ing results against the chsracteriza-
tion of beautiful. charming girl who
has been denied. through affiiction. a

love flames on the moment and. with
queer impulsiveness. the girl shields
him and covers his retreat. The
blending of the two natures elimi-
mates the mans lack OF faith in vir-
tue and brings about his regenera-
tion. Supported by the mans
strength, the girl Is lifted out of the
narrow sphere OF her life and shown
the world and the fullness thereof
Both Miss Binney and Mr.. Meighan
enact their roles with brilliant and
consummate artistry and the support

excellence. A brand-new Chester

however. the authors have been suf-
ficiently adroit to strip their tale of
all it's artifcialities and make the
climax of the story dependent upon
a wholly human and genuinely con-
vincing demonstration of mother love
and deep-seated human nature. After
having tried every expedient for sepa-
rating his minor son from the girl

that were not gentle, brought about
an annulment of the marriage snd
an estrangement between his daugh-

time giving Gladys Walton her best
role to date and the audience it's first

The story depicted is logical. told
with dramatic punch, and closing
with a climax that winds up the eve

MOORE'S RIALTO-
a Perfect Crime.7

"A Perfect Crime" an Allan Dwan
picture, presented at Moore's Ri
alto Theater yesterday, has a lying
hero who provides some of the best
laughs of the season. The picture
is quite the most human OF any OF
the string of successes accredited to
the producer. The story is simple
and deliciously real.
Monte Blue, an able and nat
1ral actor. has the role of Wally
Griggs, an awkward, bashful fellow
OF unfomantic mien. He quite sud-
denly decides to rob the bank where
he is employed as messenger. From
this weighty decision to "Finis" the
picture is rich in humor and human
interest. 1t is Mr.. Dwan's way to do
the human thing in the most direct
way and he does not disappoint in "A
Perfect Crime" The picture brings
tears to the eve as frequently as IL
sends bne into spasms OF laughter,
and il was this steady onslaught on
their emotions that yesterdays capac-
ity audiences seemed to enjoy to the
utmost.
The most amusing scene is where
the scraggly messenger suddenly
blossoms into a dashing fellow who
invents the most pleasing lies. 1t
is all part OF the plan to rob the bank,
but 1t turns out differently than he
expected. He becomes social lion,
the author OF a hook on amazing
faxed travels and the champion of a
girl who is pursued by an unscru-
pulous district attorney. The sur
prise climax must really be seen to
be appreciated.
uniformly good cast has been
selected to interpret the various
roles. Jacquelne Logan. a recent ad-
dition from the Ziegfeld ranks, is
seen in the leading feminine role,
while Stanton Hook and Hardee
kirkland appear to advantage.
The production is replete with un-
usually attractive settings.
AS usual, the orchestral numbers,
as arranged by Daniel Breeskin, di-
rector OF. the Rialto Symphony Or
chestra, are among the outstanding
features OF the presentation. the over
ture for the week being selections
from "Cavalleria Rusticana," while

Way Down East" is celebrating
its one hundredth presentation at
the Garrick Theater tonight; a rec
ord unequaled by either film or
dramatic production in the history
OF the local stage. Fourteen COM

giving two presentations daily to an
average OF two thousand people each
day, making a total OF twenty-eight t
thousand daily and one hundred and
ninety-six thousand weekly.

the eight weeks here. The manage
