HAPPY SHOW THIS
WEEK AT GARRICK

Catchy music, pretty girls. grace
full dancing and spontaneous wit and
humor go to make up a lively bill

show is the best yet.
The Brown Sisters made a big hit
with their singing and dancing last
night. They changed their costumes
three times during the act, each
time appearing in something new,
more original and more charming
than the last. In the last part of
their act they became Spanish trou-
badors playing the accordion. start

with rip-roaring Jazz" Their

AT THE QUEEN

"Goldwyn Week" has a worthy
celebration at the Queen Theatre in
the photoplay "Snowblind" which is
the feature on the program there.
"Snowblind" is a most unusual
picture. It's story is like none that
has yet fitted across the silversheet.
Katherine Newlin Burt is its author.
The rugged great outdoors is her
setting. Its men are governed by
elemental passions and know none
OF the niceties that so often govern
ones feelings in the closely crowd
ed cities.

Russell Simpson. Cullen lands.
Pauline Starke and Mary Alden
present Mr.. Simpson is seen as
Rugh Garth a fugitive from the law
and living almost the life of the her
NIT in the Canadian Rockies. Gull
len Lands plays as Pete his younger
brother, while Miss Starke is seen
as a young girl who becomes snow
blind and is cared for by both
brothers. Mary Alden plays as a
silent, patient woman Of the North
who does not voice her love for the
callous Hugh.

The beauty OF China in the nine
ties is contrasted with the tardi-

a gripping melodramatic tale has
been produced. II tells about the
love story Of an American youth and
a young girl whose parents were
killed in the Boxer uprising. Coup
led with the romance of the story
is the quest Of a ieweled sceptre,
the motive that actuates the Chinese
villain. Hosts of Chinese appear
in the story. lending a verisimiliude

for his day, such that even some Of

it would seem to be all the argument

Mexican Court Decisions

New York Tinees.)
The recent decision Of the Mexican
supreme court in the case OF the
Texas Company has, perhaps, given
an erroneous notion to some Ameri-
cans Of the effect Of the procedure
and decisions Of that court as COM
pared with our own. Mexican jur-
isprudence goes back to Roman law,
to the code Of Justinian. Our own
system. resting on the common law
of England means that customary
law shall be followed. that prece-
dents shall be respected and main
tanned. How is it with Mexican
practice? The decision in the Tex
as Company originated in what is
called 'amparo proceedings. An
'amparo" is a temporary injunction
on constitutional grounds Anybody
in Mexico who holds that his CON
stitutional rights have been violated
can ask the supreme court for an
'amparo"; that is an order prohibit
ing the government from perseyer-
ing in an unconstitutional custom.
From this difference in their origin
and habit the Mexican courts think
little of precedent, and can ioyously
reverse themselves at any time.
Those of us who have naturally felt

the supreme court Of Mexico as a

should be informed of the law of

and 1O4 of the federal constitution, !"

things, that the Judgment in anlparo

GRATIFYING BUT NOT sTA6lL
l2ING

Samuel Untermyer, senior counsel
to the Lockwood committee that has
been making Investigations into
building and other frauds in New
York City, in a recent address adj
vocated legislation requiring fire in
surance companies to invest their
funds or part Of them in real es-
tate. He declared that he did not
find the improvement in housing
conditions that was being claimed.
He did not approve of government
aid. We do not need it, he said He
did complain bitterly of the proiteer-
eering in building material, and he
should speak advisedly of this from
his experience when the rottenness
engineered by Brindel in the me-
tropolis was ripped open and Brindel
! sent to prison. There, capital and
labor corspired together to rob the
rest of the public and we're doing it
successfully. The combines of Grim
irals and proflteers have compelled
labor to increase its wage demands,
he said, and he might have added
that those leaders of labor who have
used their influence to reduce the eff
f1ciency Of labor and to exact the ut
most wage possible regardless of
service are among the worst prof
, iteers with whom we have to deal
The United States Census Bureau

a lot of money must come from some
source to construct homes for those
four million families. Possibly if

it would be because the insurance

While we are talking about the

which the capital and labor profiteers
/ have been looking to yield them a
harvest at present prices, their hope
is being realized to some extent in
quarters where the necessity is so
great that rentals may be exacted

building. Reports received by the

tractors and dealers in building ma
terial indicate that two hundred mil

construction is being prepared in the
