Speaking of the salary of Babe Ruth
it might be well to consider what some
OF the old time stars were paid, stars
who were thorough BAN players and
whose records will never die. George
Wright of the Cincinnati Red Stockings
in 1859 received a. salary Of $l200. lie
was a star of the game.
In the early seventies $500 was
toprnotch figure for a star player AZ
the beginning of 1900 players Of SIM
lar calibre were receiving from $1,000
to $4,000 a season.
A few years later the famous Chicago
nations infeld drew the following fig
ures Frank Chance, $4,000; johnny
Evers $4,000 Joe Tinker, $780,. and
Stelnfeldt, $4,000.
About the same time Pittsburgh was

spectacle. Way Down East" is the
chief attraction of the bill for the
current week at Crandalrs Theater,
where IL was greeted by enthusi-
astic capacity crowds yesterday.
In this subject the master of
silent drama has excelled himself.
Gsifiith has taken this famous stage
story Of plain people and infused
into IL the charm of New England
homesteads with their quaint sur
roundings. dreamy perspectives of
enchanting roadways, meadows and
hills; old-fashioned sleighing par
ties. barn dances and bucolic pas
times, in a manner which creates
new art form. 1t is a tale Of the
love that conquers all things, but
which is retarded for the time be-
ing by the gossip and thrilling
adventures prompted by the stern
dictates of a simple people that
have but one code of honor. 1t
progresses charmingly and with
those intimate touches of beauty
which make Griffith's productions
stand out so appealingly, to a won
derful climax. The audience is
thrilled and finds relief in great
outbursts of applause.
Lillian Gish and Richard Barthel-
mess are the outstanding figures
Of the narrative. splendidly sup
ported by such artists as Burr Nc
Intosh, in the role he created on
the stage, Lowell Sherman, Mary
Hay, Kate Bruce, Creighton Hale.

others.

Hurst is one Of the greatest Of all
short-story writers in America to-
day and the photopiay makers have
not been lay in their watchfulness
for her stories as they appear.
FANNIE Hufst's "Humoresoue"
achieved a record-breaking popu-
larity when IL was first brought to
the screen and her "Just Around
the Corner" seen at the. Palace
several weeks ago, made a notable
impression Now comes the third
great Fannie Hurst story to be
filmed. in Back Pay" the produc-
tion that began a weeks engage

Back Pay" has been scenarized

brought to the Interpretation or
this latest Fannie Hurst story is
exceptional. including as II does
such splendid screen players as the

Back Pay" will be recalled as the
Fannie Hurst story that appeared
in the Cosmopolitan Magazine
something over two years ago. af-
ter which 1t was published in a
collection of short stories under
the title of The Vertical City" It
ranks high as an example of Miss
Hursts short-story genius at fun

Seena owen has the role of chief
Importance in this story, which
tells the story Of a small-town girl
who revolted against the monotony
Of her rural existence and threw
herself into the midnight pleasure
whiri OF Broadway to collect the
back-pay of pleasure she believed
life owed her. This transition was
accomplished only by the sacrifice
Of her love affair with a youth
from the old home town. Later on,
however, she has reason to regret
the course in life she has chosen
and when the man she loves comes
back from France wounded. il af-
fords her an opportunity to sacri-
nee her gay associates and to begin
life Of love and sacrifice
Director Borzage has developed
with remarkable skill the strongly
dramatic and vividly romantic
points Of Miss Hurst's story. The
atmosphere OF metropolitan luxury
and gayety into which the country

pressed by members of the. Inter-

cording TO a statement of this or
ganization, that the arms confer
ence agreements would cause re-
duction in the crew of the local
navy yard. It had been pointed out
by the machinists association that
there are fifty acres Of land, eight
cen machine shops. q steel foundry,

represented taxpayers money and
opportunity for work for the many

Speaking of the question raised
in the associations statement that

said. 1T would seem only as fair
IL these men were given the work
instead Of having 1t given to pri-
