Big Bill for Majestic

More or less of an old time stunt
is that of hypnotism. Clifford. who
is at the Majestic theatre the last
half of this week, is a rather differ
ent exponent of this form of enter
tainment. Clifford for ONE seasons
past has been offering exhibitions of
hypnotic suggestion, and because he
is one of the old guard his work is
very interesting. Clifford says that
the reason so many people doubt
hypnotism is because they do not
understand the work. or have had
erroneous impressions placed in
their minds by witnessing the work
of an inferior class of hypnotists
who try to make their work appear
mysterious and attempt to befuddle
the public. During his stay in this
city Clifford will try to explain away
that which to the lay mind seems
impossible. One of the many inter-

PUBLIC OPINION
FOR HONEST ELECTIONS
EDITOR EVENING NEWS:

ElpIlOES EN ENiNO NEWS
Your editorial in a recent issue
on How to Make Your Vote Count
was a word well spoken.
[ wonder IL il ever occurred to the
editor why our elections, in fact, a
good portion of our system of gov
eminent is carried on in a way that
business. You mentioned the inef-
ficiency of some of the men in charge
Of the polling places. II n one
doubts that they are inefficient. all
that is necessary to remove the doubt
is Il linger nea almost any OF them
and keep your ears open.
And right there is the reason we
do not haze voting machines. The
great majority of the people welcome
them, but ineficiency of one sort and
another all the way from Washing
ton down TO election-district poll
clerks have no use for them. They
do not fit in with their ideas of soft
jobs and Easy money.
The same selfish ineficiency
stands in the way of all progress. 1t
keeps Amboy and hundreds of other
municipalities from developing as
they should develop. Our city faith
ers should take Greeley's advice and
go west. or even up in Central New
York, and study city administration
from a business standpoint. 1t would
be interesting to know how some
cities do twice as much with less
than half OF Amboy's IA rate.
Our government. excepting a few
isolated instances, is too much a
lawyers government. Lawyers talk,
argue. discuss, confer; doing some
thing Is their very last resort.
Yours respectfully.

THEATRES
a Attraction.

In THE Primal Law" a William
Fox photodrama starring Dustin
Farnum. which is now playing at the
Strand theatre, many daring exploits
are shown in the struggle between
strong men for possession of val
liable lands. In preparing for the
production of this exciting picture.
many scouts were sent out TO find
ideal locations for the scenes. Many
Of these were found in a region
which. though the country is rugged
to a degree and traditions among a
few old residents bear witness to
wild life amoung men in years gone
by, vas brought under the rule or
law and order long ago.
When Gerdine Hawley, one of the
older settlers in the region, heard
that a motion picture company was
coming to take fighting scenes, he
grinned scornfully. Gerdine, a grim
and picturesque figure, was back
ward in accepting the changing or
der some time ago, and consequently
was compelled to spend five years,
with time off for good behavior, in
a distant institution. He thinks he
knows something about fighting.
Its all fake stuff" he grunted to
an old crony as the pair made their
way to wher the cameras were
clicking, and thereafter, for a while.
he made derogatory remarks about
the action, interspersed with remi-
niscences of real rough work" He
fell silent as the battle at the Willow
Ranch house began. and his jaw
dropped. At last. when it was over.
he turned away, still in silence. shak-
ing his head.
well. how did 1t look to you, Old
Timer" asked a member of the
company.
"It looked too ALFRED real to
waste on this God-forsaken country"
the old man complained.

heart Of a wonderful girl and the re-
spect of the community. How the
regenerated crook fights to continue
his life, even at the risk of disclos-
ing his past, are but a few of the
climatic episodes that make Beating
the Game" an interesting, logical and
splendidly acted picture.
The picture is a fitting vehicle for
the star, as IL gives him a chance to
reveal his ability as IN actor Of both
comedy and drama. The story itself
dramatizes the homely truth that
an honest life is, more satisfying both
in a material and in a spiritual
way than a career outside the pale

Tom Moore at Ditmas.

Tom Moore is not only Tom of the
golden smile in his e Goldwyn pic
ture. Beating the Game" which is
being shown at the Ditmas theatre
but he is also Tom of the strong arm
and Tom of the fraternity of crooks.
In this powerful story by the famous
American playwright, Charles Ken
yon, the dramatic theme is supplied
by a ruse perpetrated on a clumsy
crook by a United States senator,
whose hobby is ~criminology. Mistak-
en- by the crook (Tom Moore) for a
master thief, the former obeys the
latter's instructions to "go it
straight" for a short time. Believ-
ing that this is part of a plan to
make a great haul, the thief COM

American Banks Robbed
Of $500, 600 in s Months

The American Bankers Association,
which will meet on Monday at Pine
hurst N. c., yesterday announced that
in the six months ending with Febru-
airy, 1921, American banks lost more
than 100000 through burglaries and
hold-ups. This is the largest loss ever
recorded for this length of time, and
is attributed to unrest throughout the
country, which is characteristic of con-
ditions after the close of any war"
The total, as given in the statement
of the association. is 202 burgla ries
and 76 hold-ups. Between September
and February 20 there we're 257 ar
rests. The Middle West lost most
heavily and New York suffered least.
