SPECIAL BILL AT L0EW'S THIS WEEK Music and Dance Revue Tops Vaudeville BiII-0'Brieh
 Screen Star

Ordinarily theatre managcr would be worried about setting 1uch a stiff pace for a week as Manager Thomas James did by the bill he booked for the first half of the mi centennial celebration. but he says he is not worried In the least, because he has programme which will match 1t in general and satisfying entertainment values.
 Cantor and Yates present as the premier attraction of the bill the Song and Dance Revue" heralded as one of the most attractive fea- lures that has ever graced the stage at the Bijou.

ELSIE FER GUSON IN "FOOTLIGHTS"
 HAS ONE OF HER GREATEST ROLES

Lizzie Parsons was no name to com jure with on the stage, but Farsi nova. ah, that was something diff ferent. They were the same but the change of name worked wonders with the little country girl. Her adven- lures form the basis for the great est picture in which Elsie Ferg ..on has ever appeared. "Footlights" is the title and it was picturized from the story of the same name by Rita weiman in Saturday Evening Post.
 "Footlights" Is the attraction at the Strand theatre beginning thls morning, and motion picture patrons will see Elsie Ferguson in her finest role, one which fits her perfectly. Critics who have seen this picture have been unreserved in their praise of Miss Ferguson's great portrayal.
 "Footlights" tells the story of a vaudeville entertainer who becomes the most famous actress in Amer ica. Her rise to fame, although unique in every way. Is made through struggles, hardships and sacrifices. It is not the exaggerated story of an overnight career with flowers and dinner parties. To reach this height Lizzie Parsons had to give up her friends and past associations and lose her identity in that of a Rus sian.

URGES GOVERNOR PROTECT ROADS
 F STRIKE COMES.
President of Seaboard Writes Saying Railway Will Con- tinue Public Service. But
 Is Entitled to Safety

s. Davies Warfield, president of the Seaboard Air Line, has written a letter to Governor Kilby request ing that he officially call on the at- torney general, sheriffs and law of ficers of counties through which the Seaboard operates to make "compe. tent provision for protection of life and property" and protection of train crews and prevention of inter ference with those willing to work pending the strike on this line for Sunday next.
 President Warfield also makes an appeal to Seaboard employees urging them to stand at their posts.
 Warfieid's Letter
 In the letter to the governor, Mir. Warheld says in part:
 Tt Is respectfully submitted that Che railroads cannot meet this crisis fin the public service unless public authorities recognize their grave ob- ugations. We cannot expect our loyal employees to continue the public ser vice, nor can others be enlisted who might be willing to stand by in this emergency, unless we are to assume that your excellency and the public authorities of the state will take steps necessary to sustain order and pro- tect life and property and also that Sou and the public will uphold our efforts"
 As to the general conduct of tho Seaboard MT. warfeid says:
 No grievance has been presented to the management of this railroad which it has declined to hear No ar- bitrary action has been proposed by the Seaboard in respect to wages, nor would any action be undertaken that does not involve orderly discussion with the men or their selected repre- aentativee under the provisions of the transportation act of 1890. The man egement believes that a large pro- portion of it's fellow employees would disapprove this strike if they were to express their genuine convictions, but the strike has been called and legal and orderly processes are ignored"
 Government ownership
 The appeal concludes with this paragraphs:
 Continued and efficient service un- der public regulation and protection is the only condition on which gov ernment ownership and operation will be avoided. This conviction is my apology for particularly urging upon you the seriousness of the present situation"
 In tho appeal to It's employees the Seaboard says:
 Tt is profoundly hoped that it may

Head of Frisco Points Out the Danger and Difficulty of Permitting the Strike to
 Proceed

3. F. Yokman, head of the Frisco System has sent messages to heads of the labor organizations of the system urging them to throw their whole hearts into finding a solution for the threatened strike fraught with So many dangers and difficulties.
 His telegrams were addressed to the heads of the engineers, firemen, con- ductors, trainmen and switchmen and readst as follows:
 The effect of the proposition to tie up the transportation of the country in my opinion is not well thought out by the heads of the dif- ferent orders of the railway organl- zations acting under a majority vote. Three causes for the strike are given.
 "First--That the heads of the rail- way labor organizations want the 12 per cent decrease in wages ordered by the labor board to be absorbed by similar reduction in freight rates. The question of rates is entirely in the hands of the interstate commerce commission.
 "Second-That there Is 2 pending threat by the railway executives of a further reduction in wages. This is a matter for the labor board to determine after hearing the facts from both sides of the controversy.
 'Third-That the railways threaten to change certain rules. This Is also 6 question for the labor board, Therefore. the first does not consti- tute a grievance. the other two are bridges to be crossed when you reach them.
 >ts .,>.~ <r<,.% . of the Frisco know I have always been in full sympathy with the old established orders Of railroad em- ployes and I would not do or say the slightest thing to provoke disobe- dience to the orders of your chief but I feel that I can urge you to use your best and mature Judgment in averting a calamity and by so doing you will greatly strengthen and pos- sibly save the very life of your order. If you agree with me and If your influence Is exerted towards avoiding q tie up of the railroads and If in your final efforts and good counsel to that end you fall to reach sclu- I am speaking as an old friend who with large number of your mem bers have seen the Frisco grow from a small insignificant line to ono of the best in the country.
 q am at all times in full sympa- thy with the railway employees and If my expressed views are not coin l. cided in by you. you nevertheless know that they are with the best in- tentions and that my best endeayors are always directed in the interest of the employees. I. therefore, trust that you will weigh this question well and xxyY{ ynf "a pe 2 solution and avoid taking a ste. Y that Is fraught with so many ySdangers and difficulties.

Miss Ferguson's interpretation of this role makes "Footlights" the out standing picture of the year. Regi- nald Denny heads a capable support ing cast of players.
 As Lisa Parsinova, Miss Ferguson wears the creations of the most prom inent modistes of Paris and America. Beside being the last word in fash ion, they have the added interest of having a Russian note. Every one of the 39 changes from the silver cloth and pearl evening dress, to the velvet bathing suit, are original in design and unique in treatment.
