DRAMATIC SCENES
FOR ALICE JOYCE

When three people are mutually en-
tangled in a love situation the result
is, in stage parlance, a TRANCE
Four people Similarly enmashed
would probably constitute rec
tangle But the difference isn't only
in the addition of another person. 1t
is the difference between an old moth
eaten dramatic device and modern,
highly complicated and extremely in
teresting emotional problem.
/ Such situation is presented in
"The Vice of Fools" an Alice Joyce
special production which will be
shown at the Kenworthy theatre on
Wednesday. Two girls and two men
all moving in fashionable society
are the principal characters
Only one of the four, Marion Rog-
|ers, acted by Miss Juyce, stands out
as figure of simple dignity and
strength. The others are either weak
willed and vacillating or frivolous and
empty headed or idly vicious. And
for time the alliance of the three
threatens to get the better Of the
girl
How Marion struggles to save the
man she loves from the penalty Of his
foolish infaturation for society but
terfly forms the theme Of the play.
Hen strength does not stop her from
making one error-that of throwing
the two together-and the rest of the
play is taken up with the retrieving of
that blunder
Miss Joyce makes the woman a
commanding and appealing figure
She is at her best, emotionally and
pictorially, as she meets the crisis.
She is almost felled by a blow dealt
her, strangely, by the giddy debutant,

HEAVY INCREASE IN
POSTAL BUSINESS
GOOD ECONOMIC CONDITION RE.
ELECTED IN CHRISTMAS MAIL
In MOSCOW

During the Christmas season jus
closed, the Moscow post office had
business far greater than ever be
fore. Over the average of the fiv,
previous years, the increase wa
16 2-3 per cent and over last yea
still greater The increase is caused
by the larger number of students al
the university and to some increase
in the population of territory adjac
ent to Moscow. In all, during the
Christmas rush, the post office han
died 94,820 pieces of mail.
In speaking of the postal business
W. F. Morgareidge said
THE post office belongs to the
public and whatever information that
might be of value to the people
should be given from time to time.
II think it is generally accepted
by all, that the volume Of business
done through the post office indicates
in no uncertain way the economic
status of the community served. If
that is true, then l am sure the peo-
pie of this section will be interested
in what has been done through this
department during the Christmas
period.
1.-THE people responded splendidly
to the call of the postmaster general
to mail early, wrap securely and ad-
dress plainly These matters, care
fully observed, have aided greatly in
making the service better and saving
much in clerical and carrier hire DUR
ing the rush period.
average receipts for the Christ
mas period for the five years preced-
ing 1921 amounts to $1371.12. Re-
ceipts this year amount to the sum
of $1597.75. This represents a gain
over former years of $226.63 or 1871
per cent.
1--WE handled during the same period
973 outgoing sacks of mail and 1882
incoming sacks, representing, ac-
cording to the accepted method of
reckoning pieces of mail, a total of
94,82O pieces of mail handled.
'eThe number of insured parcels
sent out last year amounted to the
of 1910, for the same period
this year the number was 1928.
"The money order department. OF
this office shows a heavy increase
over any previous year, the records
such gain over last year,
that the yearly increase may amount
to any sum from $4,000 to $4,000.
eff the above showing is satisfac-
tory to this community, let it be ac-
cepted in the light of community and
not personal interest"
