THE PARISH PRIEST
GIVEN At ELKS FOR
CR|TTENTON HOME

Tonight and tomorrow matinee and
night the players of the Brandon
stock company at the Elks theater are
working for charity. as the last three
performances of 1.-The Parish Priest
will be given as a benefit to the Flor
ence Crittenden home. Tickets pur-
chased for that purpose are good at
the performance tonight or the mat
inee or night performance tomorroy.
THE Parish Priest" is without doubt
the prettiest play that has been Of
fered by the Brandon stock company
this season. It's theme is simple. hat
there is a well sustained plot, the
working out of which through the Of
fees of the kindhearted priest keeps
the audience in rapt attention and
often the smiles are found chasing
away the tears.
The settings are neat and particu-
larly attractive and appropriate and
the musical end of the program, while
snappy, gingery and full of pep" is
just the right kind to go with such a
setting. Eddie Young, George Banta
Marie Rich Irene Noblett and the
American Beauty chorus have some
new song hits this week that are go
ing over" with a bang.

which to see The Parish Priest" and

1.-THE Sin Tina. Was His"-coIumbi.

The very zenith of dramatic execu-
THE Sin That Was His" the new pic
ture featuring William Faversham,
which opened a three day engagement
at Mauk's Columbia theater last night.
The story upon which the picture was
based was written by Frank Packard,
author of THE Miracle Man, and it
is a question if in this latter he has
not eclipsed his former ucscess.
There is something i'll The Sin That
Was His that somehow reminds one
of the logic of Victor Hugo and the
human insight of J. NJ Barrie. With
out the satire of Hugo there is still a
strain in this story that somehow re-
calls Les Miserables, possibly this be-
ing in the dramatic handling; and you
can't help thinking of Barrie's Little
Minister if you can forget for the
moment a mere matter of stature. And
incidentally, when you read one of
Frank Packards stories or see one OF
wonder, after all, if faith isn't even
greater than hope or charity. For when
one loses faith in mankind, the way is
hard and the road IS indeed long ano
dreary.
The picture tells a big gripping story
of a man against whom fate had sci
her mark, her fight to cling to the bet
ter things of life misunderstanding
that send him to the depths of de-
spair and finally his regeneration
through the mediums of a good mans
faith and a pure womans love.

Committee Rejects
immigration Bill;
Offers Substitute
[Republican A. p. Leased wIre1

WASHINGTON. Feb. ia substi-
tute for the house Immigration bill de-
signed to restrict rigidly immigration
from Europe, but leaving in status quo
the treaty and agreements affecting
admissibles from Japan and China as
well as existing regulations between
the Americans was taken up today by
the senate immigration committee.
Previously the committee rad voted,
SIS to d. to reject the house bill under
which Eu4ppeans and Asiatics would
have been excluded for one year.
The committee probably will approve
the substitute tomorrow after minor
amendments and report 1t. Several
sections, however, were still in dispute
tonight. One was that fixing the num-
Der of admissibles from any of the af-
fected countries at per cent of their
citizens already residing in the United
States. Some committee members
who voted for the house bill declared
the percentage should be reduced to
one. two or three, and announced they
would seek to amend it in that manner.
The section, affecting Asiatics also
was opposed by several committee
members. who commended its language
| was loose. They said the section should
/ be more precisely stated, particularly
! that part referring to exemptions al
/ lowed aliens coming from countries
| immigration from which is now reg
ulated in accordance with treaties OF
agreements, or to aliens coming from
1 the o-called Asiatic barred zone"
Another section in dispute was that
defining the word ''alien." Those who
advocated the strictest possible pro
hibition favored substituting natural
lied citizens" for "aliens" on tn,
ground that the per cent admission
would be less.

Musical Comedy and Pictures

Musical comedy and motion pictures
continue to reign supreme with the
policy of the Ramona, where Mack S
Merry Mermaids continue to delight
with their clever offerings of music
and mirth. Pat Patterson is there"
with the comedy and never fails to
keep the house in roars of laughter,
while Dolly Fowler is a petite little
miss who surely knows how to sing
and dance. Anita Meredith in her
song numbers is always an appreciated
factor, while the Delightful Dancing
Dollies in their dazzling costumes and
clever song numbers take the house by
storm at each appearance. The motion
picture program for Friday and Sat
urday leads off with Elinor Fair and
Albert Ray, CO. starring in THE Lost
Princess and is augmented by very
commendable program of added at
fractions. The policy of the Ramona
to feature matinees every day except
Monday at 10 and 20 cents has struck
an instant response with it's patrons.

Blue Bird

Big things are being planned at the
Blue Bird for the Valentine dance,
which happens next Monday evening.
According to the advance information
every person who visits the temple of
happiness on that evening will be the
recipient of a valentine. But the fun
only starts here for the spot dances,
novelty affairs, balloon showers and
the balance of the lineup of attractions
the visitor will be royafly entertained
throughout the entire evening. The
spot dances will carry valentine boxes
of candy, electric lighted vampie dolls
and other prizes of value, while of
course the balloon showers meant that
a host of prize laden balloons will be
released during each event. E. S
