"The objectionable Sim"

"The objectionable Sin, which is
to be shown at the Shubert-Garrick
next week, will be OF interest to local
moving picture devotees for a num-
Der of reasons. The picture Is a
screen adaptation of the Major Ru-
pert Hughes book, by the same name
which has had such tremendous
sale during the past two years, and
has stirred up merry controversies In
various parts OF the country because
of its fearless handling of timely
subject.
The star of the pilot oplay version
is Blanche Sweet. who is making her
"re-debut" on the screen, after having
been in retirement for the past couple
of years. Miss Sweet will be remein-
bered for her splendid performances
under the direction OF David Wark

The director of 1.-THE objectionable

with important stars, like Mary Pick

Nicholas Romanoff, late Car OF the
Russias, was one OF the most stead

The Car demonstrated his friendship
for her on many occasions-a friend
warmly to have shared-presenting
her with many OF the precious gems
that constitute an important part OF
the rare jewel collection owned by
this famous artistic.
Having reached the heights as
ballerina, Negri next achieved fame
as a concert violnist. Her most no

genius of the bow. this remarkably
versatile young woman surrendered

In personality. temperament and
fidelity to the finest traditions OF the
arts, Pola Negri, who will be seen for
the first time in the National Capital

Mile. Babettc put the finishing
lines on her sketch this week while
the show is entertaining patrons of

When Mile. Babettc was a school

by these pirates OF the slums. Her
parents retrieved her after great eN-

She explained the incident to a pro-

nounced accent. surprised even her

Mile. Babette has passed UP the
chance of naming the master piece.

one more experienced in Analysing the
public viewpoint of a title. She Is
confident the incidents to be por-
trayed will have distinctly per-

producers will assure her financial in

The Hurtig star has had numerous
opportunities to go into pictures but
the speaking stage has manifested it's
charm irresistibly and in burlesque
she will remain, at least for the
present season
The French actress spent three
seasons in vaudeville but likes bur

REALTY BROKERS'
PROBLEMS TOLD
Duties of Agents Explained
to Y. NJ. c. A. Real
Estate Class.

How two men may be brought to
bargain more readily through a
third person-the real estate broker
than by negotiating directly be-
tween themselves, was told by Ed
mund d. Rheem of the firm of Swart-
zell. Rheem & Hensey, in discussing
real estate loans before the Y. NJ. c.
A. class in real estate at the session
this week.
Some of the difficulties met with
by apartment house owners were re-
lated by, John F. NJ. Bowie, in lee
turing on apartment houses and
dwellings.
Mr.. Rheem pointed out that the
broker serves to smooth over differ
ences between prospective contracting
parties by meeting each halfway,
trying to keep the borrower down
to conservative loan, and, at the
same time, using his influence to
exact a liberal loan from the lender.
Rheem, 1.-The broker gradually grew
into the business of looking after the
legal details, seeing that the titles
are good, preparing papers and re-
lievilng each customer of the tech
nical difficulties with which he is
would like to emphasize the point
that both the borrower and lender
are the brokers' clients. he is serv-
ing each to the best of his ability,
and each is necessary for the earn
ing of his commission. All too often,
the unwise broker makes the bore
rover feel that the obligation of
finding the investor is an arduous
one. SO attempts to place his pros
pective client under great obliga-
ton
Problems facing apartment house
owners, including that of admitting
families with children, were explained
to members of the class by John F. NJ
Bowie.
I'VE hear good deal about chill
dren in apartment houses" he said
land, of course, we, as agents, must
follow the directions of the owners
But, on the whole. the children are not
bad. The restrictions against chill
dren can, in most cases. be traced to
some unfortunate incident that the
owner has had with some particular
family with children. In most cases,
one hardly knows the children are in
the house, because they are kept un-
der proper control by the parents. In
the other cases. I believe the parents
are to blame because they do not
have their children under subjection.

ried, settled man is about the best
type you can get" he said. "and they
can not only become very helpful and
useful, but in the course of year
they can save the owner great deal
of money by being on the job"
The subject of leases was discussed
at some length. and Mr.. Bowie showed
that by allowing a breach of con-
tract. and then accepting rent. the
owner cannot GUST the tenant because
of that particular violation Of the
lease.
"If a tenant sublets his place, even
though you have a provision prohibit
ing it. and it comes to your knowl-
edge, and you accept rent thereafter.
you are stopped from ousting that
tenant on account of subletting. The
same is true if a tenant brings a dog
