COAL STRIKERS
Continued from Page One.D

coal, because Of the strike, has now
reached a point where the operators
can pay the miners any wages they
demand and still make enormous prof
its.
Last April when the strike began the
price Of coal was roughly from 50 TO
$3.50 a ton. Today it is anywhere
from 81 10 SIS a ton. When the oper-
ators go to work again they probably
will be able to get for several months
an average of 81 a ton for their coal.
The net result is that the public pays
the bill.
Have Gained Results
OF course there was no conspiracy
in the beginning. The strikers were
angry and the operators were angry.
And yet, as things stand today the net
result to the public is exactly the same
as if there had been from the begin
ming a conspiracy between the strikt
ers and operators TO bring about 4,
situation which would secure high
wages for the miners and big profits
for the operators at the expense OF
the public.
This is the thing that has usually
happened in these coal strikes ana

The question ahead is whether as
Stunning the coal strike is settled the
country shall merely breathe a sigh
of relief over the emergency sverted
and pay the bill or whether the coun-

An additional reason, related to the

( operators are wiling to settle now is
that in the case of the strikers they
have eaten into their accumulated
funds as far they think prudent, and
in the case of the operators, they have
disposed of most of their stock on

1.-THE splendid success being achieved
by William De Miles picture, Miss
Lulu Bett,' is particularly gratifying be-
cause it is striking evidence that you do
not have to play down to the American
public" said Jesse L. Lasky, first vice
president of the Famous Players -Lasky
Corporation, in a statement issued this
week
Because some pictures, well acted and
well produced have in the past not gone
over to tremendous successes, said Mr..
Lasky, "a certain section of the industry
has apparently jumped to the conclusion
that to be successful picture producers,
must stick to hOkum and claptrap.
have no patience with this theory, as it
has been demonstrated time and again
that you cannot aim too high in purvey-
ing entertainment to the American ex-
hibitors and American people.
In producing Miss Lulu Bett' as a
picture we not only took into considera-
ton the powerful drama which lay in
iona Gales story, but We also were
guided by the tremendous popularity of
her novel and her play. We saw immense
possibilities in this story as a picture,
and we were strengthened in our belief
by the receipt of numerous letters from
communities expressing pleasure that
they were going to have chance to see
Miss Lulu Bett on the screen.
The success Of Miss Lulu Bett' at the
Rivoli Theater, New York. as well as at
other big frst-run theaters throughout
the country proves we were justified in
our high hopes for this picture. Hugo
Riesenfeld, managing director of the
Rivoli, told me he thought Miss Lulu
Bett' was one of the best motion pictures
he had seen in all the years he had been
in the business. lie wanted to book this
picture day and date in the Riyoli and
RialtO, but other bookings previously
made prevented.
Given to the public without clamor and
hubbub, Miss Lulu Bett has proved one
of the biggest box office pictures we have
released That it is possible to make a
big box office success and at the same
time make an artistic success is evidenced
by the extremely laudatory reviews given
Miss Lulu Bett on its opening in New
York
For instance, Alan Dale in the New
York American called Miss Lulu Bett'
delightfully."- convincing picture and
said that nobody who has assimnated
iona Gales novel will hesitate to praise
the new film. 1t is an exceedingly good
picture made from an exceedingly good
play that was founded on an exceedingly
good book.
Haywood Boun in the New York
World said. William De Mile has done
an excellent job in his production OF
iona Gales Miss Lulu Bett. 1t is an
excellent picture without Tugs OF dew

HOKUM AND CLAPTRAP ON MIRROR
Not Necessary for Popular SU ccess Lasky States

Evening Post said, If you want to see
good photoplay go to the Rivoli, where
they are showing Miss Lulu Bett.' The
other reviews were in the same tenor.
TOO much praise cannot be given viii
liam De Mile for his direction of this
picture Not only in the numerous details
which built up the picture, but in his
preservation of the atmosphere through
out Miss Lulu Bett' is a notable di-
rectorial achievement And not a little Of
the credit for the success Of the produc-
ton should be givel to Clara Beranger,
who did the scenario. and to Lois Will
son, who played the title role, as we'll as
the other actors who made up an an
usually balanced cast.
Striking evidence of the power of
this picture is given in the repetition Of
one fact in a large percentage of the
numerous kilograms we have received
from exhibitors. The bOx-office value
of the title has invariably been estab-
lished by crowds at the opening showing
In nearly all theaters, the exhibitors re-
port, but it also is true that in most
cases the popularity of the picture has
grown with each day of its engagement

nected with it,
