Constance Talmadge opened yes terday at the Rialto in a picture d. rect from the Kinema theater in Los Angeles entitled Good References" made by First National Pictures for Richards and Mace. exclusive fran chise holder in Arizona. In this pie ture Constance Talmadge is the he- roine and is seen in the part of poor girl seeking a job. Everywhere she Is turned down, until finally she bor- rows some references of sick friend. The scheme works immensely and she gets a job and proves quite effi- cient- As Mary Wayne, Constance finds herself at Journeys End" cheap boarding house where the dear old land lady with 64 bust and a six and one-eighth head measure makes a wild clutch for board money in advance and succeeds in reducing the young borders net capital of five plunks in one fell sweep, to lone some pair of Iron Men" It was then that Mary finds that the smartest of boys behind mahogany desks are as stony-faced as a sphinx when girl shows up without references, so as chronicled above, she gets her own references and then she starts on a career of adventure, ending in the matrimonial market that claps the CtlfHd4 TUT dIly uOnC lOA tkAC screen.

LOUISE HUFF COMES TO HE COLUMBIA IN
 CAPTIVATING PLAY

She wanted to flirt, so she hired husband. But, horrorsi her -busband" started to make love to 8her. Then she wanted to escape from "The Dan gerous Paradise" she had created. Louise Huff and a superlative cast provide excellent entertainment in this light comedy, "The Dangerous Paradise" which opens a wo-day engagement at Mauk's Columbia theater Tuesday.
 The locale of the action is mainly in Newport, R. l., that fashionable playground of American society folk, and the characters of the story are all people of wealth and refinement. The central figure is Wis Vanastor, charming young lady who, upon arriving at her eighteenth birthday. has taken possession of her house at Newport. Wis is a pronounced flirt and in order to indulge to her hearts delight in her favorite pastime she pretends to be married. But to Wis dismay, the one man she wants to flirt with avoids her and from that point on the fun increases with leaps and bounds.
 In keeping with its plan for more and better amusement the Columbia theater has arranged special mum Der for Tuesday and Wednesday nights in the person Of Miss Matte, a vocalist of national reputation. Miss Hattie. known in Phoenix, her native city, as Dixie Washington, was for two years a student of Ellen Beach Yaw and later of ConstarSino.

Her program for Tuesday and Wednesday will be anl nounced later.
 4 selznick News reel, a Literary Digest Topics and a Selected comedy are other film features of the Tues 1 day Wednesday program.

OUT OF HE CHORUS WITH ALICE BRADY AT COLUMBIA TODAY

Out of the chorus into a first fam fly, that was the sudden leap which Flo (Alice Brady) took one night after a performance of the Winter Palace Revue. But fhe story is best told in the screen version "Out of the Chorus" starring Alice Brady. which opens a two-day engagement at Mauk's Columbia theater this after noon
 Crazed by Jealous doubts of his beautiful wife who had once been a chorus girl, Ross Von Beekman rushed home one evening unexpect- edly and found another mans hat and stick on the hall table. He found his wife alone, but to make sure he fired five shots into the closet door and rushed from the room. Later, trail of blood was discovered leading from the closet door to an open window. This is the climax to one of the most thrilling and heart-stirring photo plays in which Miss Brady has ever appeared.
 Miss Matthie, known in Phoenix her native city, as Dixie Washington, will appear in song numbers as an added attraction to the regular Co., lumbia program for today and Mon day. For two years Miss Matthie was student of Ellen Beach Yaw and of Constantine for one year.

In Austria the public executioner wears a, new pair of white gloves at each execution.
The Washington herald., 1921-05-02

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
There appeared in your columns
an article by "B. EIvard Sager." Sc
verely criticising one M. Devries"
for his attitude toward peonage,
and toward the negro in general.
Mr.. Sager's criticisms were very
timely. The negro problem is the
greatest problem confronting the
American people today. Presidents
come and go, Kingdoms rise ana
wane, peace follows war. and the
negro creditably acquits himself
throughout: still the problem re-
mains.
Mr.. Devries evidently, from the
tenor of his remarks would try TO
solve the problem by discrimina-
ton. segregation. and mob violence.
These methods. however, are i'm
practicable, for they defeat their
own ends. Discrimination arouses
envy. jealousy, animosity. and 9TH
er latent emotions of the negro
race. for what race of people. wor-
thy OF the name. would be satisfied
with worthless chaff. in return for
loyal devotion and self-sacrifice
Segregation makes the solving of
the problem impossible, for solving
implies understanding and where
there is no association there can be
no understanding. AS for mob vio-

lence and lynchings. they can have
no place in civilized communities.
There is no reason why white and
black Americans alike should not
have for their slogan, Make Amer
lea a fit place in which 10 live"
Mr. Sager struck the keynote
when he said, "Red-bIooded men re-
alize that might does not make
right. and that a human life is
equally precious housed in a black
or a white skin" Treat the negro
like a cur and he'll act like one:
treat him like a man. with all the
capabilities Of a man. and you give
him something to which he can
aspire.
l congratulate Mr.. Sager. not only
for his liberal mindedness and sense
of justice, but for the courage 20
stand forth and champion a cause
which he knows to be unpopular
and ! can assure him that all we'll
thinking men of the negro race
voice my sentiments.

WILD BIBDs AND GAME
FOWL ARE INCREASING.

Notable increases in rniRra,o-x
birds. through special protection az
forded them under Federal laws are
reported by George A. Lawyer, chief
United States game warden of the
Bureau OF Biological Survey, De-
partment OF Agriculture. as a fea-
ture Of his recent inspection of the
various districts scattered through
out the country. Mr.. Lawyers trip
took him practically around the
borders and coasts OF the entire
country. giving him opportunity TO
observe the condition Of the birds
In all important wintering sections
OF the United States.
Wild ducks and geese were found
in great abundance, showing the
most notable Increase OF any Of the
migratory birds. Greater numbers
OF upland plover. sandhiu cranes.
and Wilson snipe or jacksnipe, were
also especially noted. The welfare
Of the birds was found TO be gem
orally satisfactory and promising,
although the draining Of marsh
lands In many places has driven
them from some Of their old feeding
and breeding haunts.
There Is great need for the gov
ernment purchase and maintenance
OF large tracts of marsh lands
where the birds would be secure
from molestation." says Lawyer.
Such natural asyfums, Il Is said,
are becoming fewer and consequent
ly are affording less protection each
year. due chiefly to the large areas
being reclaimed for commercial pur-
poses The birds are quick to dis
cover when they are In places where
they are safe from hunters"

PLEA FOR BETTER BOOKS.

To the Editor. The wsshinEton Herald:
Who selects the new books for
the Public Library: never saw
such a miserable collection of book,
as are those on the duplicate"
shelf Of new books Why not get
some up-to-date fiction for this
shelf? And why not some Ameri-
can fiction for a change? These
stupid, mostly English books are
simply awful. The monthly re-
views sent out by the publishing
companies contain lists of attractive
books; why not get a few? Many
people would gladly pay more than
is charged to get something worth
reading. We do not want sleeping
potions. nor dull treatises on social
conditions in England.

VISITOR PREDICTS END
OF JERSEY MOSQUITO.


The famed Jersey mosquito may
soon disappear. according to A. An
drew Laufer. OF Bayonne. N. J., stop
ping at the Willard. who spoke yss-
terday Of prediction made by DR..
Thomas ]. Headiee. Of New Bruns-
wick, at the annual convention Of
the New Jersey Mosquito Extermi-
nation Association.
"Dr. Headlee. who Is State Ento-
mologist, predicted that with q state
appropriation of $750.000 for an in
tensive three-year program the
mosquito will be controlled in New
Jersey" Mr.. Laufer said.
SEES PEST REMOVAL
AID PROPERTY VALUE.
Jersey mosquitoes have long been
the source of funmaking material
for the vaudeville artist and IL the
three-year program will curb the
mosquito as DIR. Headlee predicts,
those artists will have to turn 20
other roads for their material, Mr..
Laufer said!
Absolute control Of the mosquito
In New Jersey will mean that prop
erty values will jump by leaps and
bounds" Mr.. Laufer continued.
DR.. Headlee predicted that with
the present limited funds the work
of curbing the mosquito would take
fourteen years, in the meantime
there would be a great loss to the
people as we'll as the State. Mr.. Lau-
fer said.
During the past winter the legis-
lature appropriated but $4,000 to
fight the mosquito. Mr.. Laufer SAID,
but the various counties supported
the work more literally.
FAvoRs GUNS TO USE.
ON MAIL ROBBERS.
Arming railway mail clerks and
other postal employees with repeat
vers will go a long way in prevent
ing mail train robberies, Mr.. Laufer
believes.
Mr.. Laufer said that he read where
mail passing through Philadelphia
is oeing guarded by government en-
ployes who are heavily armed. Six
hundred revolvers and a large mum
Der of shotguns were received by
Philadelphia postoffice officials few
days ago.
II understand that the shotguns
will be used in Philadelphia Dy
guards on the mail platform and in
the terminal service. while the re-
volvers are to be carried by the
guards en- the mail trucks. and
presume that other cities through
out the country are following the
same course"
Mr.. Laufer believes that with the
arming of railway mail clerks ban
dits will be less active in preying
on mail trains. He called attention
to the number of hold-ups that have
been committed in Chicago and the
Middle West.
