WASHINGTON, May 15.-~According

thusiastic response to tho call for wom-
en- in every state to expires their sem

May 22 TO 20 is being received from all
parts of the country"
The committee says: Letters are
pouring in daily from national wom-
ems organizations, church organiza-
tions and state chairmen, who will have
presented to all women's meetings in
their states during disarmament week
resolutions calling upon the President
TO call an international conference for
disarmament and asking Congress to
delay action on the naval appropriation
bill,
organizations which are cooperating

cone of the first to send in q con-
tribution for the campaign during Dis
armament Week was Representative
James A. Frear, who congratulated the
women's committee upon its plan.
Senator Borah wrote the following
letter to Miss Emma Wold, temporary
chairman of the woman's committee:
".I am certainly delighted with the
work that you and your organization
are doing. Unless we build up with
tremendous effect the public opinion
of the country and keep it alive and
sustained there is no possible hope of
accomplishing anything. The old prac-
tice and system of postponing and pro-
crastnating is to be the policy to be
pursued, trusting and believing that
the people will forget about it and
that the cause will be killed through
encouragement and delay.
Letters are pouring in daily from
bankers, lawyers, army officers and
persons of all walks of life expressing
approval of the committees program"

Merits of Screen Plays
Hess Scores New Statute
Calls 1t Hardship ON the
Industry and Opposed
to Ideals of Americans

A tremendous hardship has been ina
posed upon the motion picture industry
by the enactment of the censorship law
in New York, according 80 Gabriel l..
Ness, chairman of the censorship COM
mittee of the National Association of
the Motion Picture Industry.
In q statement issued yesterday Mr..
Hess declared that the bill which was
signed by Governor Miller last Satur.
day, would tend to impair the develop
ment of the art of screen expression.
He also said it was his opinion the
expense of censorship eventually would
have to be borne by the public.
Consider Court Action
Court action to determine the con-
stitutionality of the new law is being
considered by the producers and ex-
hibitors. 1t also was announced that
arrangements have been completed for
a meeting of clergymen and exhibitors
at the Hotel Astor, on May "a, for the
purpose of discussing the faults and
merits of motion pictures. The meet
ing is sponsored by Malcolm Strauss
and other producers, who say the pub
lie now is demanding something more
than clinch finishes in motion picture
entertainment,
IRE statement of Mr.. Hess asserts
that state censorship has been q failure
in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland and
Kansas.
There is only one form of censor
ship that is effective" states Mr.. Hess,
''and that is the censorship exerted by
the public itself. The public always
will be essentially cloan-minded ard
will seek the amusement which is in
keeping with the high standard of
morals observed by the American peo-
pie.
"We are fully in accord with those
who believe that motion pictures
should be clean and wholesome, yet
true to life as it is. The industry,
however, shares with an overwhelming
preponderance Of public opinion the
belief that the method of insuring
such production standard is not by
the adoption of legalized state censor
ship.
THE act was loosely drawn and
without consultation with representa-
tives of the industry, who best know
the industry's workings. with the result
that great confusion and unnecessary
expense will be caused.
"At the recent hearing before the
Governor the question Of unconstitu-
tiohaiity OF the act was argued and

On the Screen
Will Rogers Stars i'm Boys
VIII BE Boys" at The
Capitol lheaser
By Harriette LJnderhill

When "Boys Will Be Boys" Irwin
Cobb's popular story, was put on the
stage we disagreed with nearly all of
the critics. They liked it; we did not
care for it, although we were willing
to admit that Harry Beresford did give
q remarkable performance as Peep o.
Day. However, we never could work
up much enthusiasm over those foolish
old men who shamble when they ought
to walk and spout unprecedented cpl
grams. Often they carry bottle on
their hips, too, and are slightly under
the weather. Peep O Day didn't do
this, however He was just one of
those simple, kindly, half-witted souls
who live in the poorhouse or on pri~
vate charity and have keen sense of
honor.
Irwin Cobbs story has been made
into screen play now and it is pre-
sented at the Capitol Theater. Will
Rogers is the latest Peep o. Day, and
he is an interesting addition to the list
of simple, kindly souls because he
makes Peep man not only with a
humor as we'll. In Peep o. Day you
will find something of the VIII Rogers
who used to entertain New York on the
Hiegfeld Roof with his up-to -the-min-
ute observations. At no time in the
picture do you feel very sorry for
Peep, because you know that if he
can't defend himself with his fists he
can with his tongue. The titles which
are taken directly from Irwin Cobb's
story are very fine. The others are
only fair

none other than our old friend Clyde
Fogel. He Is Clyde Fillmore on the
program, but he cannot deceive US.
God never made two men who looked
like that. We met him on our first
trip to Bermuda, and in writing our
impressions for one OF the magazines
we referred to him as the Apollo Bel

panying him to Montana, even If he
didn't have any money, TO staying in
New York with Walter Helm when he
had s5,o0o,000.
Miss Clayton as Katherine Van
Rper we found most disagreeable
sort of heroine. We detest people who
graft, people who borrow and people
who neglect to pay their bills, and Miss
Van Riper did all Of these things.
She was always being bounded by
creditors and escaping them in all sorts
OF undignified ways. Finally she re-
solved to raise money on the famous
Van Riper pearls, only to learn that
her father had beaten her to it thirty
years previously and that the pearls
were fakes. AS she had planned to
cast them before the wolves to keep
them from the door, Miss Van Ripper
was rather UP tree, to put it vul-
carly, when old uncle stepped in and
paid all her bills.

that question undoubtedly will be one
which the courts will pass upon. Aside
from this, however, the leaders of
thought in this country are firm in the
belief that legalized censorship is
archaic, relic of the kind of legis-
tion of bygonc age which we know
as the blue laws. 1t certainly is not in
keeping with progressive American
thought. or American ideals.''

RUSS|ANMUS|C
PREDOM|NATES
FIRST CONCERT
Walter Damrosch Builds Radi-
cal Program for New York
Symphony Opener.

When Walter Damrosch placed a
very exquisite bit OF chamber music
by Beethoven. an unusual trio for two
oboes and an English horn. between
two massive compositions OF the Rus
sian school on the opening program OF
the series OF concerts OF the New York
Symphony Orchestra at the National
Theater Tuesday afternosQ, he did a
piece OF program building decidedly
radical.
The massive Russian works were
the second symphony In E minor by
the master pianist-composer. Rach-
mammoth. and the lovely Tschaikowsky
Concerto In ID. for violin and orches-
ira, with Paul Kochanski as the solo
artist. IL was a startling contrast,
this touch of pure sunshine between
two such turbulent orchestrations.
and the trio was played exquisitely
by the three artists whose names were
not given.
Kochanski again proved his mas
terry OF technique and tone. although
he gave the great Tschaikowsky music
with more OF placid beauty than tenn
peramental warmth. In the second
cadenza Of the first movement he rose
to splendid heights of mastery. In ex-
quisite virtnoso passages whose
beauty and appeal continued through
the plaintive song quality OF the
Canzonetta, with some rare trills and
delicate phrases. In type. however. he
was not distinctive. nor did that sob
theme of the first movement vibrate
with It's tense meaning. 1t was as
| though he had missed the idiom at
times by overdeliberation. that soul OF
the composer that the orchestra re-
vealed admirably, and missed some.
times a perfect intonation.
The symphony is a scholarly work,
filled with surging musical texture
and with most lovely song themes
varied in their tone quality by their
distribution through the different in
struments OF the orchestra. The sec
ond movement was perhaps the most
effective, holding an optimistic spirit
| of broad ascending melody. 1t was
a festal, at times martial. or again
soaring into n love theme that grew
tragic in a forceful close-an epitome
Of life itself.
The development was at times la
| bored, however, more mental than
spontaneous. as choir by choir the
orchestra played its roles.
But three movements OF the Beetho
ven were played. the scherzo being
omitted. The first oboe solo of the
adagio was beautifully given. and
there was an irresistible gayety in the
final rondo. JESSIE MacBRIpE.

Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism

Mr.. James II. Allen suffered for years
with rheumatism. Many times this ter
rible disease left him helpless and unable
to work.
He finally decided. after years OF cease
less study. that no one can be free from
rheumatism until the accumulated i'm
purities. commonly called uric acid de-
posits, were dissolved in the Joints and
muscles and expelled from the body.
with this idea in mind he consulted
physicians, made experiments and finally
compounded a prescription that quickly
and completely bsnished every sign and
symptom OF rheumatism from his system.
He freely gave his discovery to others
who took It, with what might be called
marvellous success. After years of urging
he decided to let sufferers everywhere
know about his discovery through the
newspapers. Peoples Drug Stores have
been appointed agents for Allenrhu in this
vicinity with the understanding that they
will freely return the purchase money on
the first two bottles to all who state they
received no benefit-Advertisem
