ROYALTY FEELS HARD TINES
King Of England Parts with Wts war
 Bonds and Prince cf Wales .a Takes In Rcoueru.

However dlscomforting may be rtAzm postwar period of adjustment ans mm era of painfully high prices, we anm9 all take some comfort in the thOmxAa that they spare nobody, observes shm Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Prince an9 pauper, rich and poor, high end aamm. they all go deeper into their purses Aae their needs, and their protests wn@ lamentations have a striking sixnGtaF- ity, hinting that there are net SC msaav differences among men ax their 1aa- ment and bank accounts might sua- gest.
 Some of us have succeeded in Swe@w- ing our incomes within haiiing SfSs- tance of our expenses and in nudginx up the one ss the other asccnded bu& not all of us-certinly not all of ua Many a good man Is stilt toiling away on his joh at the old scale, with hIs living expenses increased about 15@ per cent since the good old days be- fore the war. .aE
 For instance. there is George W ce England. George is Still pounding away on hIs old job at the pre-war scale. and far from being able to pry a raise out of his employers, the peo- pie, he has lost several valuable aemoiu- ments.
 And the young prince of wa1cx, Thst clever and likeable boy, the empires greatest salesman, he is ip/ the same situation as father; living away up snd wages at the same old mark. with the revenue Of his estatns considerably iower-why, the prince is raising the wind by renting rooms in Kensingtoa palace at matter of so to $vo a month. Things are pretty bad for royalty when 1t gets to that The prince was intending to buy shoot ! ing estate on his return from Aug tralia and hibernate for a time, hut that plan had to be given up Feathers and long trains nave bren cut off of evening court requirements. the kings cellar is running low, and he has had to sacrifice some of his war bonds. He took over a generous block of bonds at a time when a dos- lar was as big as cart wheel t@ Britain, and now he has had to uri- load at sacrifice.
 Thous9nds of formerly wealthy citl- zens are similarly situated, though many have not the great merit of per sonal service that George of Englsnd is rendering. Revenues from invest ments have petered out or shrunk to such proportions as no longer to fur1 nish an independent living. A 1ot Ce the old boys are sailing pretty closa to the wind-the newly poor as differ entlated from the purse-proud newly rich. Whatever partialIty fate may have shown in placing men in their inches in life, certain the postwar sea- son has been 'rigidly and unbendlngiy, Impartial; all men are being iolted tm the one spot-the pocketbook.

The (" ntinued fight over the ratif1ca- ton Of the treaty of Versailles, with the League of Nations covenant, re- sultfng in rejection of the treaty for the second time, occupied the atten- ton of the United States senate during the early months of 1920 and monop- olfzed the attention of the public, so far as congressional action was con cerned.

TUCKER THEATRE RE-
DUCES ADMISSION PRICES

Beginning next Friday, November
18th, The Tucker places in effect a
big cut in its regular admission
prices. The balcony is reduced from
25c to 15c, and the loges from 35c
to 25c, the main floor remaining the
same, 25c, including tax.
While the cost of the pictures have
not decreased in the least, in fact,
they are higher today than ever, Mr..
Tucker feels that the increased pat
ronage will well justify the reduce
ton.
Another change, effective on the
same date, is that all pictures will
be shown two days. This enables the
theatre to give its patrons better
pictures for less money. Some big
ones have been secured for the near
future, such as affairs of Anatol,"
Dangerous Curve Ahead" "The
Old Nest, and Charlie Chaplin's
latest First National picture, "The
Idle Class"

NOTABLE TESTIMONIAL is TEN.
DERED MADAM JESSIE
ZACkERY.

Last Saturday afternoon at Shorter
Church, Madame Jessie Zackery, Den
yers sweet nightingale, and one of the
most lovable girls ever heard here,
was rendered beautiful testimonial
of esteem by the members of the choir
over which she long presided as chor-
lister. Owing to many counter attrac-
tions there was not as large a crowd
present as should have been otherwise,
but never did more appreciative au-
dience assemble under one roof. y
program of extraordinary merit was
rendered and every number enthusi-
astically received. In fact the pro-
gram was of such high class that 1t
would be difficult to pick out the real
bright spots in it. However it is only
fair to say that the quartet consisting
of Madame Zackery, Mrs. Shores OF
Kansas City, Messrs. Liggens and
White, surpassed anything we have
heard in Denver in many years. The
solo selections by Madame Zackery
were admirably rendered. Mr.. William
Sprague acted as master OF cerelhon-
les in the absence of Rev. r. l.. Pope.
Prof Geo. Morrison and members Of
his famous orchestra, Prof. V. Sprat-
lin and the full Shorter choir took part
on the program. A neat sum was real
lied and rendered Madame Zackery,
who leaves tonight for New York 10
further pursue her musical studies
THE COLORADO STATESMAN takes
pleasure in offering its word of tribute
to our Denver girl, so surely destined
to make her mark in the musical
world
