On the Screen
Farthcst North Prologue to
1.-THE Golden Snare" at the
Strand Severe Ola Singers
BY t1arriette Underhill

Donald Chambers, George Keardon,
Frank Mellor and John Young sing
the prologue to the feature picture,
"The Golden Snare" at the Strand this
week. The picture is tale. of the
frozen North, and the prologue is the
furthest north that has yet appeared.
Joseph Plunkett advertises it as hot
weather entertainment, but surely he
did not have his quartet in mind
when he planned that prologue. They
stand In snow drifts knee high, tl:
the snow isn't real snow--we have it
on good authority-and they wear
hearskin coats and all the rest of the
furthest north paraphernalia. Now
how do they do it? And how they must
hate the people who insist on giving
them cncores!
The picture itself is cold and there
is plenty of it, so it is likely to prove
popular even if it does make you
laugh when IT least intends to. The
way people get shot and recover and
pillow. through snow and fight! But
perhaps one has to hustle all the time
up there to keep from freezing to
policeman who sets out to bring to
justice a dangerous criminal and then
falls in love with his adopted daugh-
ter. Sergeant Raine was the first white
man she ever had seen, and it is to
be supposed that she could not read
nor write, and it is certain she never
combed her hair. So we couldn't help
wondering if the sergeant would not
realize few days after he got her
home that she WAS marked "as is"
Wallace Beery is the criminal, who
turns out after all to be crazy. Need
less to say, he gives startling per-
Mr.. Stone also gives an excellent per-
Torrance as the sergeant. He re-
sembles David Powell in appearance
as we'll as in his acting.
Ruth Renlck is the young lady with
the hair, and there is an extremely
intelligent baby named Esther Scott
who plays big part in the picture.
Others who gave good performances
were Melbourne Mcdowell, Yelling
ton Playter and Francis Macdonald.
"The Golden Snare" was written by
James Oliver Curwood. The title
refers to the young lady's hair.

"The Conquering Power" is the
feature at the Rialto We went to the
theater for the overture and sat
through the picture again after having
seen it last week at the Rivoli. We
had nothing but praise for this pic
ture, which was made from Balzac's
story Eugene Grandet," but some OF
our friends criticized it because there
were aeroplanes and wrist watches
and fountain pens in it. 1t is very
apparent in the beginning that it has
been brought up to date, and the
opening title says, at is a story not
of yesterday nor of to-day, but of all
time" However, so far as production
goes, it is about ten years in the
future when compared with most of
the pictures which we see.

Weeks Bill at Palace
Is Mildly Entertaining

"A fair field and no favorites" was
what the bill at the Palace Theater Of
fered yesterday. Which was just as
we'll, for the humidity of the last week
has flattened all surplus energy, so that
a mildly entertaining program IS ABOUT
all one can stand. 1t is certainly all
that one gets. Palo and faiet, les
boufrons musical afford an enjoyable
diversion, as does Mary Haynes, al
though her songs, in aiming at "eXclu-
siveness" rather overreach the mark
and exclude some things that might have
proved assets; real humor, for instance.
Honors of the day, or week, were
divided among Henry Santrey, with
his band; De Haven and Nice, eccentric
dancers, and sketch in three scenes,
"They're Of" presented by Carleton
Hoagland and Harry Carroll. AS the
only girl skit on the bill They're
Off, lined up in the front rank, with
pretty faces, pretty clothes and some
good dancing. The bubble dance OF
De Haven and Nice was good take-otf
but their buffoonery is too heavy and
unleavened. The brightest spot in the
program was FRANKLIN and Charles, as
sisted by Ernestine Caru, modestly
modish young woman, who did her bit
pleasantly. ne IWO men dtS SACSOtlO!i-
ally clever and have worked up an act
that is most original Their acrobatic
skillfulness affords many thrills. Clay
ton and Edwards in Don't Do That"
and Eight Flying Blue Devils are the
other numbers on the bill.
Gus Edwards is appearing personally
at the Riverside Theater, here his Song
Revue of 1921" tops the bill for the last
week of their Eastern season. At the
Eighty-frst Street Theater Frank Van
Hoven and Yvette share headline honors.'
Max Teuber's "Shadowland" is at Moss's
Broadway. Harry j. Conley in "Rice
and Old Shoes" is the attraction at the
Fordham. The Hamilton heads its bill
with Raymond Wyle and Marie Hart
man. Whipple and Huston are featured
at Proctors Fifth Avenue Theater.
Gladys Delmar, with her juvenile band,
heads the bill at Proctor's Twenty-third
Street, Harry and Grace Ellsworth are
starred at Proctor's Fifty-eighth Street
Thcater and Moore and Fields ale the
chief attraction at the 125th Street
house.
In Brooklyn, the Orpheum has "Chic"
Sale and the Six Brown Brothers, and
the Bushwick, Ethel Barrymore in "The
Twelve Pound Look" for star attrac-
lions. The Four Marx Brothers in con
the Mezzanine Floor" are the head
liners at the New Brighton Theater.

WAGE VIOLATOR
(By The Associated Press.)

Boston, Mass, Sept. 19.-Employers
who do not comply with the DEGREES Of
the Massachusetts minimum wage com
mission have discovered that they are
subject to publicity which from their
standpoint may not be wholly desirable.
The penalty provided by law for non
compliance is publication of the names
Of employers refusing to accept the
commissions recommendations. Ac-
cOrding to the state department of labor
and industries, no other state or cOun-
try having minimum wage legislation
has this requirement, all other laws be-
ing mandatory and enforceable in the
regular way.
II was only this month, however,
that the commission made use Of it's
powers to the extent of publication of
names Until the latter part of 1918 it
was prevented from making complete
Inspections to determine compliance
with its decrecs because the consti-
of the minimum wage was
contested The state supreme court
finally upheld the commissions right to
make such inspections.
