MAKING "THEODORA"
AN AMAZING FEAT
For the First Time in History Aid
of Vatican's Architect
Is Obtained.

Ut course, everyone is talking about
"Theodora," the big film to appear
at the Columbia theatre. All who
nave seen it marvel at one or two
or three features of the massive pro-
duction. Some are moved to specu-
latlon and comment concerning the
big scene in the circus, where the
lions are turned on the crowds-ev-
cry one has a theory of how this won-
derful scene was manipulated for he
camers-some have marveled at the
grouping of such mass of people;
the principal comment is upon the
architecture, the scenery--where it
was made, by whom and how?
That's a long story. When the
Italian film company decided to make
& picture that would 90 around the
world and canse the whole world to
open its eyes to a great accomplish
ment, negotiations were put on foot
with the Vatican by powerful inter-
asts. It is believed that the Vatican
library holds certain documents con-
:erning Theodore, empress of the
EAST and wife of Justinian which have
not been given to the world in print
ID books. There was a great desire
o consult these documents. It is not
inown whether the coveted permis-
ion was given. Suffice that Sardou's
tory has been touched up" in GER
ain lifelike details which may be de-
'ended upon as trustworthy.

This was its official architect. He
was supposed to know more about the
ancient Byzantium than anybody
Pope Benedict was petitioned for this
mans services, for he required papal
permission.
Even this is not declared by the
company; but putin two and two
together and realizing the generosity
of the pope, when the art of Italy is
to be fostered, also the fortunes of
the populace of Rome, and the further
fact that two years ago Signor Bras
mi was released to the film company,
it is plain that his holiness gave the
desired permission.
Brasini went out to Lake Albano.
twenty miles from Rome, made his
residence there and spent nearly the
whole two years in constructing an
cient Byzantium as it stood in the
sixth century, Many of the colossal
buildings were constructed of solid
cement and still remain as a monu-
ment to Armando Brasini. They have
become a popular resort for tourists
and appear to be permanent"

When Mae Murray in "Fascina-
tion," presented by Robert z. Leon
ard, comes to the Columbia Theatre
on Wednesday, the popular Metro star
will be supported by a company Of
players, several Of whom have them
selves starred on Broadway. 1t is
without doubt one of the strongest
casts that has ever been assembled in
motion pictures.
Among this distinguished company
is Helen Ware, Vincent Coleman,
Courtenay Foote, Creighton Hale,

AVOID ANOTHER LANDS PER.
FORMANCE

Judge Lands friends now say that
he intended to resign from the court
long ago but would not do so under
fire He is said to sacrifice no salary
as the original offer of $4,000 holds
good now that he has given up the
$500 salary as judge of the U. S.
Federal District Court.
Why the Judge, possessed as he is
OF an eminent mind, did not see from
the first how inappropriate it was for
him TO hold the dua! position is not
clear. His attitude certainly was
open to the suspicion that he did not
wish to relinquish the one position
until he satisfied himself the new one
was that which he wished to retain.
BE that as IL may the work for him
TO do as commissioner of baseball is
believed TO afford full scope for his
time and talents.
Now would seem to be q good op-
portunity TO pass law to prevent in
the future such a furore as has arisen
over the attempt of Judge Lands to
hold these two positions. If the good
men who get into the government
service are as a result of their promi-
hence sought by private enterprises
they should at least give some other
person an opportunity to hold the po-
sition which they deem inadequate to
their own desires.

THE COAL CONTROVERSY

Most of us have little acquaintance
with coal mining and from what is
said of the work the general impress
sion derived is that it is not a very
attractive form Of toll. This impress
sion is cultivated by the appeals of
the miners in the propaganda they
rut out. Why then, is it that more
men wish to mine coal than there is
steady employment for? Is it posi-
BILE that they find it convenient to
work part of the time and receive
enough wage on which to live the
year round? Or is the reason for this
attributable to the mine operators
and if so why haven't the miners who
wish for year round employment
gumption enough to seek it at some
other kind of work?
The data secured by the U. 6. &C.
illogical Survey ought to be reliable.
In the years before the war the Sur
veys records showed that the aver
age number of days that miners
worked each year ranged from 116 in
1902 to 257 in 1913. Nearly full time
was put in during the years of the
war. Furthermore there were miners
enough to meet the demands of war
time production.
When we consider that the United
Mine Workers demand a six hour day
and five day week and an increase
in wage for the anthracite miners one
finds it difficult to avoid the conclu-
sion that they wish to make the con-
sumers of coal pay them enough for
part time work to live on the whole
year round. 1t would be idle to pre-
tend we of theEast understand all the
phases of this coal controversy but so
far nothing has appeared to give us
confidence in the claims of either par
t. to it.
1t Is quite certain that the demand
of the miners for a six-hour day, five
day week and increased pay will not
be popular at this time when reduc-
ton in wages along with other re-
auctions must come. The union lead
ers recognize this and have tried to
evade an issue but their advice is be-
ing disregarded by the radicals who
are clamoring for trouble Their
short siGhted vision has overlooked
the fact that the attempt to shoot
unionism into the NIingo county
mines miserably failed. They appar-
entity disregard the fact that warmer
weather is soon due and this is not
an opportune time to try to freeze the
country into submission.

Patience With ireland

! NN'N' cih IIIlltSl
1t was a fitting appeal which Sir
Horace Plunkctt left with the Amer
lean friends of Ireland as he sailed
| for hope on Saturday. During his
stay here he had found them dis
| turbed and apprehensive over the
troubles of the Irish Free State.
Some of them had expressed to him
grave doubts, in view of the unhap-
Ply events in Ireland, of the ability of
the Irish people to govern themselves.
| Sir Horace urges them to be both pa :
| tent and hopeful. Other nascent
states. not excepting the United
States, have known bitter quarrels
and struggles before fully establish
! ing themselves. And there are spe-
clal reasons in the. recent past of Ire
| land why the Free State should find
| its first steps hindered by angry foes
who might have been expected to be
| it's friends.
There is force in this plea. and
there is also ground for encourage
| ment in the bearing and in the
achievements of the leaders of the
Irish Free State. Michael Collins has
displayed not only courage and vigor
these qualities are apparently ma
tive to him-but something like
craftsmanship in his dealings with
the British Government and with IL
ster. And while Arthur Griffith has not
been so much in the public eye, he
has been quietly rallying support for
the meetings of the Sim Fein clubs
tomorrow and for the general election
which is soon to follow.% These two
Irishmen. with their helpers. will
make the Free State going con-
Germ if anybody can.
The chief obstacle to their plans is.
of course. Mr.. de Valera with his cry
that they are 'subverting She repub-
lic." This has been caught up by a
local detachment of the Republican
| Army. whose commander refuses
obedience to the Provisional Govern
ment. But Mr.. Collins. the idol of the
army. will know how to deal with
that AS for subverting the republic.
de Valera himself was ready to do il
with his Document No. s." which he
offered as a substitute for the treaty
and which recognized British sover-
eighty as plainly as did the latter.
Yet now. as The Gaelic American in
dlgnantly states in its issue of last
Saturday. de Valeras supporters are
begging for American money to
help them cut each others threats"
Happily, they are not getting much.

Editorial Comment
Call It a Bonus
(BOStOn Herald

What We need in this country is a
reassertion of a patriotism which re-
fuses to translate into dollars and
cents service to the republic. =" OF
the presence and vitality of such a
motive in the hearts and minds of
men we continue to hear testimony.
1t was in the mind of Robert E. Lee
when he accepted, at $500 a year,
the presidency of the broken down
and bankrupt Washington College in
the Shenandoah Valley, when he
might have had $4,000 a year as the
southern representative of a great
New York business house. But he
would have spurned the phrase, "ad-
Justed compensation" and today,
North and South are joining in me-
MORALS to his honor. This spirit was
in the mind of the great Lincoln
when he declared to q friend that the
sum of his financial ambition was to
be worth 100000. He saw much
richer men around and about him,
but that did not induce him to leave
the chosen path of his life to take up
theirs. or occasion him to regret that
he had not been a foreman in a ship
yard at the time he was serving in
the Black Hawk war.
Let us do away with the theory
that service to nation. in the time of
crisis. is something that can be meas
ured in money; something for which
any government can make requital,
in cash. The two may not he com
Il I,
to give these young men the bonus"
BY retaining this word We may COM
rliment them. The spirit of bravery
which has come down the centuries
from the pass of Thcrmopylae repels
the very suggestion of adjusted
compensation"
