< olr-- When the coal operators refused
~ House Labor Committees proposal
~ Z wage conference. few days after
d tthe beginning of the great strike, it
vos given out that the National Gov
eenment would do nothing for a while
longer at least.
All the same the Pennsylvania State
police were ready enough to send n
troop Of mounted policemen to break up
{ miners parade. injuring thirty men
under the feet of horses.
4 Why, might l ask, is miners
parade go much more dangerous. so
much more Objectionable. than the def
thrown BY the operators at Congress? ?
The attitude Of the operators offered
full warrant for immediate Government
oction to force a wage conference. 1t
does not matter what the operators
think about It. They are engaged in
handling a public necessity. and when
the people Of this country put a prod to
Congress, Congress will realize that
fact fast enough.
It is my opinion and, | believe. the
opinion Of large majority Of the
American people that the Government
ohould compel operators and miners to
eet around a conference table without
further delay. before the suffering
starts. FORREST g ELLlS.

A MAN THERE WAS"
At COLUMBIA TODAY.

Lovers of Ibsen's works, who have
been waiting the announcement of
dates on the picturization of his ia
nous roem, "A Man There Was" will
have an opportunity of witnessing
this masterpiece at Mauk's Columbia
theater today only.
"A Man There Was" was booked
by the Columbia management last
November but so great was the de-
mand for this film. that today was
the first open date to be had on any
of the Western prints. This speaks
well for the popularity of this IA
nous picture, which according to all
advance notices is a work of art.
The part of Terje is well. played
by Victor Seastrom, American actor
and playwright. Seastrom is strap
ping big fellow with a very express
sive face and reminds one lot of
William Farnum. He throws himself
into the part of Terje with sincerity
that proclaims him. a master of his
art.
To fully understand the unusual
value of "A Man There Was" one
must bear in mind that Terje Vixen
Is not hero Of fiction but a real his
torical figure. In Scandinavia he is

This Is the day for the big popular
bargain mid d-week matinee at the
Elks theater, and the hundreds of
matinee friends of Miss Ruth Renick

and her exceptional cast In the sensa-
tional comedy drama. Scandal" the
offering for the second week of Miss
Renick's brief engagement. The ones
who cried and laughed last week in
Lilac Time" are carried away with
the bright, snappy lines and clever
situations OF Scandal"
The play is distinctly different
from anything ever seen in stock. it is
smart and breezy. beautifully dressed
and exceptionally well mounted.
After seeing it one can easily under
stand why. it was such sensation in
New York, for Cosmo Hamilton, the
author, has conceived a most novel
plot and placed some very smart and
clever lines into the dialogue. "Scan-
daT is a distinct panacea for the
blues" and you are passing up a
rich evenings entertainment IL you
miss it.
The cast is already hard at work

MeAIber. Mystifle. Audience


Again McAlbert mystifies the pub
lie to such an extent that he has
started an argument that bids fair
to call out the doubters. He has
answered hundreds of questions that
have been written in the audience
and some of his answers have been
so startling that his work is attract
ing much attention not alone from
the patron who attends the theater
just to be amused, but from the
ranks of those that seldom pass
through the portals of a playhouse.
McAlbert employs no artificial
means to get his results. He works
in the glare of a full-lighted theater
and in full view of the audience.
His crystal gazing has been the
means perhaps of bringing more peo-
pie to the Strand than any feature
that house has had for months, and
the fact that anyone in the audi
ence may be singled out for ques-
tion, and If they have written some
thing that means lot to them from
any standpoint, and 1t is answered
at once by the seer and answered so
that the writer knows that it is
genuine. there Is bound to go out at
the end of the performance a real
booster and that is just what hap
pens nightly with the McAlbert
show
The other end of the entertain
ment is in the hands of Miss Dorothy
Vann, who has a splendid voice and
sings several difficult numbers with
ease. She is such a wee bit of a
singer that the wonder is where her
big voice comes from.
McAlbert is not alone on this pro-
gram for with the seer is shown

ing church choir company in Gilbert
and Sullivans "Pinafore." Twelve
years in all he conducted the United

period under Presidents Hayes, Gar
