The tUcboat Margaret Sanford, Of the

morning when at the entrance of Gid

On closer approach Captain Wright
saw FIVE men and an eleven -ycar-old

taken on board The Margaret Sanford.
Five minutes later. as the tug Sanford

Saturday night ne started on his re-

Soon after entering Gedney Channel
Captain Oac0 reported striking heavy

After wallow;ne all night in heavy

were avalling little to keep out the

matte. she does not portray heart
break by pounding her chest, nor by
heaving her shoulders nor bulging her
eyes, She does not seem screen
actress, but girl who loves her nncle,
even though he will not permit her to
marry the man she loves. She tells
him what she thinks about it and
then goes smiling through until John
Carteret can see things her way.
Miss Talmadge is seen in two roles.
She is Moonyeen, who was killed on
her wedding day by jealous lover.
Jeremiah Wayne and she is Kathleen,
niece, who forty years later loves
Kenneth Wayne, nephew of Jere-
mieh. Miss Talmadge gives gorgeous
performance throughout the picture,
but we couldn't help preferring her in
her 1876 costumes. Those styles GER
tainly were becoming. Wyndham
Standing we liked much better as the
young lover of Moonycen. He did not
suggest old age to US, perhaps because
he looked too old. Harrison Ford was
better in the 1876 episode, too, we
thought. There was a clever charac
terization. while as plain lover he
has no particular distinction.
Glenn Hunter is very good as Willie
Ainsley, r young man who was always
trying to propose but who never re-
ceived any encouragement. Alec B,
Francis adds to the enjoyment of the
occasion Ivy his portrayal Of Doctor
Owen. The titles are excellent and
are probably the work of James Ash

from the play by Allen Langdon Mar

of Carmen" comprised the program,
with Suzanne Keener, Julia Claussen,
Raymonde Delaunois, Milo Picca,

A surprise of the evening was the
singing of Miss Keener, youthful So
prano. whose performance of the "Caro

pretty well-trained voice, with hmpid
high notes that provoked we'll deserved
applause.

On the Screen
lis Matrinony a Fai!ure?"; the
Picture ls--'SmiIin' Through
Is Beautifully Done
By Iiarriette Underh;ll

/ There Is time-honored joke which
! reads, Never strike woman-take an
an And this seems to have been the
attitude of all concerned in the making
OF the picture at the Rivoli this week.
: 1T Is called ''ls Matrimony Failure ~
which, of course, means that it is n
comedy; and in putting this comedy
across they never have failed to take an
ak when they might have struck. The
erect is painful rather than funny Never
nave we seen such maximum of effort
with minimum OF results. OF course
lot of people laughed. but they are
the sort who always laugh when the
comedian says; II had good luck this
morning. | threw q stone at the dog
and hit my wife"
Now, to find merrimont in this new
picture you've got to start Off with the
premise that all married people are
uncouth and rude to one another: that
al! husbands like to get drunk and chew
tobacco and play poker, while all wives
IKE to go to prayer meetings. In
1act If you can believe that all people
who ave married hate one another and
IheN tnlnk II Is comedy instead Of
a tragedy YOU undoubtedly will enjoy
us Matrlmony a Failuro9" We CON
sIdcr it vulgar picture which has
10 rcdeeming qualities with the excep-
ton Of the names of the cast. They
read we'll!
nat dehghttul young comedian, T.
Roy Barnes wears a slap stick comedy
makeup and trick suit which he
eventually discards for his B. Y. DIS
Then he makes the excuse that he has
but one suit so that he may don his
TAT fathers suit and tie it or with a
palf of suspentcrs worn round his
waist.
Ihe story is about a Young couple T.
eiope; but they learn after they havt
/ started OIL their honeymoon that they
were not really married because the
clerk who gave them their marriage
license had no legal right to do So
Back to towr they go, the groom minus
his trousers, although he lost them
quito nnocently, oh dear, yes. and
theN the town learn that for the last
thirty years the licenses issued in
November were Illegal and that the
married couples who had chosen
November for their weddings were not
really married at all
you have not only to believe that ali
married couples insult one another all
the time in private, but you have got
to believe that the moment they get in
public they begin to hold hands and
embrace one another. This IS, Of
course, lust one of those little human
touches put on for contrast and to
make the picture seem more real.

LABOR VICTORY IS
 SEEN BY GOMPERS
Federation Had Direct Hand In Many of Elections, Leaders
 Assert.

Washih4ton. Nov s.-"The results of the election are magnificent vtn- dication of every contention made by the American federation of labor" Samuel Gompers, president of that organization declares.
 The important thing is not that so many offices changed hands; 1t Is the character of the changes that makes the result so encouraging"
 Labor claims direct responsibility Tor a number of the outstanding triumphs and defeats. Leaders point out that they opposed Senators Kel- logg. du Pont. Calder, Townsend, Frelinghuysen, Representative Mon- dell and former Senator Beveridge, and that all these appear to be beaten. In many cases, they admit, men no more favorable to labor were elected. but 1t is hoped the result Will prove lesson to the victors.
 MT. Gompers says the people have repudiated labor injunctions, the railway labor board, the sales tax and ship subsidy. William H. Johnston, president of the International Asso- citation of Machinists, pointed out that Senators Pomerene and Hitch- cock, both of whom supported the Transportation act, were defeated, while in both their states progressive democrats won the governorships.

Washington, Nov. 9,--J. J. Jusser- and, French ambassador, will meet former Premier Clemenceau when he arrives at New York and accompany him at least for a short time on his tour of the United States.

 It also means, according to admin istration authorities, that Clemenceau will not attack any of the domestic policies of the American government but will consent himself with state- ments concerning the duty of Amer ica as, he sees the situation. to enter more actively into European affairs.

HAYS PLEASED AT
 CENSORSHIP DEFEAT
Vote in Massachusetts Seen as
 One for Liberty

New York, Nov. 9.-The defeat o1
 motion picture censorship in Massa. chusetts by direct vote of its citi.
 zens was hailed by Will H. Hays as the first big step toward putting free
 dom of the silent drama beside free
 speech and free press where it be- longed."
 Tt was censorship which caused the revolution and made the United States" said Mr. Hays Tt was cen sorship that was responsible for Ply mouth Rock and for the Emancipation Act. You can not censor the people $ right to act and think and see for themselves. If there had been motion pictures when John Hancock and Thomas Jefferson and their glorious associates wrote the Constitution, free. dom of the pictures would have been written in with the free speech and freedom of the press There is no difference in its relation to the pub. lies rights.
 That Is why there Is so much sig. niflcance in the direct rejection by the people of Massachusetts of censorship of the movies. And 1t was in Massa. chusetts that the Boston Tea party started. They are starting another little party now that is just as signifi. cant
 This overwhelming vote against censorship is a splendid response to the appeal of the press and the citi- zens of Massachusetts against undue political aggression.
 Just as certain is 1t definite chal- lenge to the motion picture industry to carry out its own program for its own continual improvement in the complete discharge of its duty to the public.
 This responsibility Is accepted by the motion picture men in the spirit of highest service, and they will be grateful to have the opportunity to discharge this duty.
 'The fact that 90 per cent of the newspapers throughout the country are against censorship shows the inn portance of the subject. Six months ago, when the organized fight against this usurpation of the public's rights was started, they were for 1t.
 T don't think that the censorship here in the state was a really serious factor in Governor Mill ler's defeat. There were too many Issues involved to be able to point clearly to this one"

REMUNERATION AND
 EFFECTS 0N YOUTH
Dr. Hooker Tells Rotarians It May Cause Tuberculosis

"The Nutrition Problem of Chil- livered by pr. Edward Hooker of Hartford. at the regular meeting of the New Britain Rotary club held at the Elks' club on Washington street this noon.
 Dr. Hooker Is president of the Hartford Tuberculosis society and in his talk stated that malnutrition is one of the indirect causes of tuber- culosis as the two direct causes are expectoration from those already af- fected and the drinking of milk from tubercular cows.
 The speaker asserted that children are most susceptible 10 the disease and that a campaign is now being waged to develop resistance in chil- dren to combat this disease. Thirty per cent of the children in the coun- try are undernourished, he asserted.
 He claimed that there are four causes of malnutrition and they are physical defects, lack of home control, overfatigue and faulty food habits. Two New Britain boys were brought before Dr. Hooker by Dr. Fred Lee of the local health board. Both had signs of malnutrition which the doctor showed to the Rotarians.
 Many of the signs are paleness. lines under eyes. mouth breathing, flabby muscles, round shoulders, pro- jecting shoulder blades, stopping pos ture, curvature of the spine and a prominent abdomen.
 President Leon A. Sprague an- nounced that the ,Paulist choir will appear at Fox's theater under the. e.au- spices of the Rotary club on Friday evening, November 24, and not on Thursday as previously announced. Tickets will be given to the Rotarians to sell at a later date. The proceeds ore to go into the crippled children fund.
