There will be enough anthracite coal

Bureau Of Information.
II will be several days before exact
figures as to tonnage are available. but
at the. present time. il is stated. almost
the normal amount of anthracite il ar
riving here. In normal times the re-
ccipts are about 200, 900 tons Il month.
The committee on distribution is
working on the problem. and Philadcl- =

GALL FOR A WOMAN" GREAT
in DRAMATIC VALUES; SEE
PICTURE AT LYRIC THEATER

Seldom has 1t been our good for
tune to witness such acting on the
screen as that contained in "All for
a Woman" an Associated First
National attraction which Is being
repeated at the Lyric theater to-
day.
The chief character part. that of
Danton, the idol of an entire ma
ton and who was deposed chiefly
because of his affairs of the heart,
is played by Emil Jannings. whose
fame spread over the world
through his work in Passion"
Any other actor, given such a
strong part and such an opportu-
nifty, would have overplayed the
role, but in Jannings' hands 1t is
one of the masterpieces Of the his
trionic art.
Assisting him is a cast the selec-
lection of which reveals genius in
itself. Each character is sharply
delineated with an eye to contrast,
and each is competent to cast
spell over the spectator.
The story tells one phase OF the
French revolution---that of the part
played by George Danton. in that
nation-rending uprising Of an out
ragged people. At first in sympathy
with the policies of the blood
thirsty Robespierre, the constant
use of the guillotine finally be-
comes too much and he deserts the
ruling clique.
But retribution comes quickly,
aided and abetted by pretty
young woman, Of whom Danton
has tired and cast aside. The eli

AN AID TO
DETECTION OF CRIMINALS:
SEE LAW AND THE WOMAN

Because a woman, guilty of a
capital crime, was superstitious-to
the extent that breaking her mirror
foreshadowed doom for her-she
was finally forced to confess at the
eleventh hour and save the life of
a man convicted Of murder, though
innocent.
Such is the central plot of THE
Law and the Woman" a new Para
mount picture, starring Betty
Compson, to be repeated today at
the "B" theater.
1t is by means Of this idea-play-
ing upon the superstition of the
guilty woman--that Miss Compson,
in the role Of the faithful wife Of
the accused man, succeeds in OBJ
tanning a confession from vam-
pire, whom she confronts with the
gruesome reminders of her crime:
The picture shows the danger OF
circumstantial evidence in homi-
cidal cases
No stronger play has been pro-
duced than this. William 7, Garlic
ton plays opposite the star and
heads an unusually strong support

Washington, Feb 2S.--The radio

problem of working out and allo-

committees would require ten days
or longer to report and that rec
concentrations would be considered
looking toward some legislation by
congress giving the department of
commerce broad discretionary
powers for tho regulation of all
sending and receiving stations.
Opinion of experts from the
principal radio telephone manu-
facturers, public service corpora

amateurs were found at the open
sessions to be in accord regarding
government regulation, but differ

of other users toward the amateurs
