Women Ushers.

The news that the SnuDertS nave
opened school to train women as
theater ushers has called attention to
field of feminine activity which
has long been widening. 1t was more
than two decades ago that this firm
of managers began to hand over the
duties OF ushers to women. Since
then other managers have followed
their example. The Shuberts now
employ women to serve as ushers in
all their theaters.
The responsibilities laid on ushers
are not too heavy for women to bear.
Possibly they are taught in the pre-
paratory school to be courteous, to
say, for example, First aisle to the
right" as if seeking to furnish infor-
nation to the playgoer, not as II
to remark 1.-TWO aisles over" with
suavity which makes him feel that
they want to be Of service to him,
not to reprimand him for intruding
on their time with foolish question.
1t may be that the curriculum teaches
ushers to dispense programs literally
and not to hug them as if they were
protecting the property of their en-
ployers from the attacks of brigand.
Women ushers have been success
full chiefly because they have never
assumed the attitude OF being supe-
rior to their job. Sometimes the task
Of directing theatergoers TO their
riaces has appeared to be Of SO little
Importance as not to deserve the en-
tire attention Of the young men hired
for the purpose. It has not seemed
worth while to devote all their time.
ct least all Of their thoughts, to the
work. The women. on the other hand,
have shown an interest in their du-
ties which has pleased the public.
In the box offices women have
turned out TO be just as competent.
Treasurers OF theaters, as they are
called in the business OF amusements,

Laughtiness in manner and bearing
which has been made against hotel
clerks. There is some ground for
believing that the influence of women
clerks in box Offices has been to make
the spirit Of the treasurers gentler
than it was.
Working by the side of members OF
the fair sex treasurers OF theaters
are able to view less murderously the
woman who takes an hour to select two
seats in the balcony for the Wednes-
day matinee. They are even will
ing to attempt TO explain why it is
that there are no seats to be had for
the successes nearer than nineteen
rows from the stage at any time dur
ing the winter As woman has sup
pressed all tendency to profanity on
the part OF those to whom she may
assign the wrong seats, so has she
had the effect OF making more human
the once naughty box Office man. II
is not a wonder therefore that the
recruits are so numerous as to re-
quire school to train them in their
duties in the theater.

Who Kemal Is.

Not until the Turks captured and
burned Smyrna did the man in the
street regard MUsTApHA KEMAL
Pasha as more than one of the many
figures in Old World war and poll
tics. He was the man who had driven
the Greek army out OF Asia Minor
and into the Egean Sea. To-day he
is the man who stands defiantly at
the Turkish straits challenging the
Powers of Europe as perhaps no other
Turk has done since MoHAMMED IL.
took Constantinople. And allied Eu-
rope almost suppliantly asks him to
accept what he demands and join it
in a conference.
Who is MusTAPHA kEMAL Pasha?
In 1919, at the end of the world war,
when KEMAL was first spoken OF as
the leader of Turkish Nationalist
party, General LYMAN voN SANDERS,
the German officer who trained the
Turkish army and knew it perhaps
better than the Turks themselves, at
tempted to answer this question by
saving that KEMAL was an Ottoman
commander who had served Turkey
we'll but without distinction. Con-
stantinople. under the protection oil
the Allies, smiled at KEMALs preten-
sions and the Sultan declared that he
had never heard OF him. A British
officer reported that he was the leader
of a gang OF half bandit Anatolians.
Europe was but mildly interested, ex-
cept Greece, which asked that his
movement be suppressed as il threat
ened a guerrilla warfare. That was
three years ago.
KEMAL found the nucleus Of his
Nationalist movement in his own
Anatolian troops. Anatolia was the
most genuinely Turkish section OF
the old Ottoman Empire; it furnished
the Turkish army with its most de-
pendable troops. and nowhere else in
Turkey could his plea for Turkish
nationalism have fallen upon such
fertile soil. He established his capi-
tai at Angora and surrounded him
self with a Government selected
from his first advisers. A Euro
pean who reached Angora said that
lights burned all night in KEMALs
rooms in the old castle on the hills
above Angora as he laid his plans
and sent his emissaries out into Is
lam and received representatives
from Asian lands.
Europe first realized that KEMAL
was a power to be reckoned with
when il was reported that he had en-
tered into an alliance with LENINE
and TRoTzKY regarding the division
OF the Caucasus and the control Of
the south shores OF the Black Sea.
AT the same time il discovered that
/ lis preaching OF Pan-lslamism and
Pan-Turanianism had gained him
converts from the Caspian Sea to the
Indian Ocean. IL discovered that the
Nationalist army was no myth the
/ first time that IL drove the Greeks
back from the Bagdad railroad, and
il became convinced that it was a
we'll equipped. well organized force
when second time II hurled Con-
sTANrIYEs forces in disorder back to
the Egean Sea.
Great Britain discovered that
KEMAL was versed in hereditary
Turkish diplomacy when she found
that he was dividing allied Europe BY
making concessions to France and
Italy. She encountered his power in
the Eastern empire when the Indian
Moslems demanded the recognition
Of the Nationalist movement and y
revision Of the Sevres treaty which
would restore power to the Caliphate
snd Turkey to the Turks. And allied

TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER IS, 1922.
The Two State Conventions.

The State conventions of both the
great parties will be held this week,
the Republicans at Albany, the DEM
ocrats at Syracuse. The eyes OF the
voters are particularly fixed upon
them because they are the first old
Fashioned State conventions New
York will have had in ten years. The
direct nomination primaries, whose
cardinal fault was that they COM
PEELED candidate TO make two bat
tles-one for nomination at an ex-
pense only a rich man could afford
and one for election--have been laid
aside, probably never to be resur-
rected unless machine bosses should
irritate the public by abusing the ad-
vantages of the convention system.
There will be bosses at the Repub-
lean State convention, which begins
its work tomorrow, but they will not
boss. In the Albany gathering the
leadership of NATHAN l.. MILLER will
he paramount. AS the present Gov
crnor of the State, the leader of his
party and the overwhelming choice
Ct Republicans for the Gubernatorial
domination Judge MILLER is not de-
pendent upon the favor of any boss
or any combination OF bosses.
Governor MrLLER's policies, so
clearly enunciated and so vigor-
cusly pursued in the last two years,
will be the policies of the con-
yention if that convention wishes TO
retain for the Republican party the
services OF it's most distinguished
exponent in this part of the coun-
try. His announcement yesterday that
he would accept a denomination II
his associates on the ticket were in
sympathy with his policies means
that his associates will be chosen
for their fitness. In this the wishes
IL the Governor must be respected
ny the convention, for he will carry
tte burden of the campaign.
Just as surely as the signs at Al
Lany point to clarity, the signs at
syracuse indicate chaos. The public
knows the mind and the program OF
The man who will lead at Albany. but
nobody seems to know the mind of
the man who will boss at Syracuse.
AS MILLER will lead the Republican
convention by virtue of his ability
and his record, MURPHY will boss
the Democratic convention by force
of votes. He can swing his city dele
;,ates into line with the upstate
Democrats who are for ALFRED +.
SMITH; he can join the Hylan office
holders OF Brooklyn and nominate
WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST; or he
ran drag his party into some new and
undreamed Of situation.
The outstanding figure at the AL
l.any convention will be man whose
courage, constructive craftsmanship
and complete understanding OF public
problems have been evident at the
state capital for two years. At Syra-
cuse the outstanding figure will be a
man who has been the political mas
ter of the Democratic organization
H. the city Of New York for twenty
years and who in all that time has
scarcely contributed a word, gesture
or an idea to benefit his State.
a comparison Of the two conven-
tions will be interesting for the young
student OF politics.
