Critcher Theater Tonight

The life of a slavey in the heart of
New York's throbbing East Side is
limned with startling vividness by Zazu
Pitts In her latest picture, Bright
Skies" which will be seen at the
Critcher theater on Northern avenue,
this evening. For want of a better
name the slavey is called Sallie by the
habitues of Mrs. Cassidy's cheap room
ing house. All Of the menlal tasks are
hers and life holds no prospects of
Bright Skies" for the little waif The
only creature that loves her. a black
kitten, is mistreated by Mrs. Cassidy,
and Sallie becomes a wanderer, dane
ing to the merry tunes ground out by
Antonio. an Italian organ grinder.
Her adventure In contentment ends
with the death OF Antonio. Then be-
gins her love epic. How riches and
happiness were showered upon her:
how she gave them up because of her
love and her ultimate attainment of
Bright Skies" are the principal motifs
OF a story that proves a fitting vehicle
for the peculiar talents OF Miss Pitts
who interprets the role OF Sallie.
There will also be an episode of the
thrilling 'erlal Diamond Queen" and
an international News.

WAGES OFF FnUIv rIckEns

Action of assembled fruit growers at
Grand Junction, wher- they set figures
or remuneration of hired help elicits
criticism from Daily News, which
says;
1T can hardly ne said that a man
can properly live at the present high
prices on 80 cents an hour, and Ger
tainly there is not one man in % who
can make a decent living picking ap-
pies in the average orchard at the
price of cents per box, as the aver
age man in the average orchard will
not exceed so boxes of fruit per day,
and in many orchards a good man will
not do that well. At the rate OF 30
cents an hour, considering delays oc-
casioned by weather. a man will aver
age about $3.50 a day for his work.
How many OF these growers would
accept such wage and return an
honest days work contentedly given ?"
