visionary torment-and shots into the
pressing woods.
and the drums!
Death, capture.
Curtain.
That is the story of Emperor
Jones'"
1t is the psychology of fear. It
is the nature of the human animal
The theater goer must throw himself
into the play to ENJOY it. He must
think while Gilpin acts. He must
close his eyes to the scenes-and live
them.
To witness Emperor Jones' as a
Tired Business Man is failure.
The management recognized the
necessity for the sympathy of the
audience when it opened the show
with one-act comedy, 1.-The Widows
Veii," acted by Peggy Doran and
Geraldine Wood. This act had moth
ing to do with the Emperor Jones'"
1t was given for the purpose of seat
ing the audience and at 8 o'clock
when the seats had become thoroly
hardened, the Gilpin play began. "
From the second until the last scene
the theater was darkened. Only the
lights of the woods were evident.
To analyze Emperor Jones"-is to
trace thru these columns the course
of the human mind in trepidation.
To attempt to express the feelings out
lined by the play is meaningless. Our
own human instincts tell us.
If you are willing to throw yourself
into Emperor Jones" and abandon
your emotion and consciousness to
Charles Gilpin's' master dramatic
touch and sentiment you have pre-
pared yourself for an evening of art
and passion. If you are frigidly un-
conscious to play on the senses you
cannot be convinced that Emperor
Jones' is worth while.
As we said in the beginning-you
like 1t or you don't. And your judy
ment is not to be questioned in either
case. -AJC

THE EMPEROR JONES

It is Just a question of whether or
not you like that kind of dramatic
performance.
If one enjoys psychology and the
more lurid disqualification OF animal
instincts. THE Emperor Jones' as
portrayed by Charles S. Gilp.n is an
evening of intensity. If one fidgetS
and fuses over such class of act
ing the play is a source of regret.
One thing is certain-there'n never
be another Emperor Jones'" 1t is in
a sphere of its own. 1t is Charles S.
Gilpin--a negro actor who has
jumped into we'll deserved fame after
going thru the school of m:nstrels and
vaudeville. 1t is Gilpin who holds the
stage and the audience for two hours
of darkness and uncertainty.
The story: Gilpin, or Emperor
Jones" was a Pullman porter, a crap
shooter and a convict. He killed
fellow dice contestant and he killed
his prison guard. He escaped, took up
a residence on a West Indies island,
and with the aid of a cockney trader
ruled the island and its natives. He
became emperor and used his office
TO steal. Finally4n his wealth he en-
tertained thoughts of retiring and
prepared pans for his escape thru
the dark forests. Then the beating
of the tom toms, the signal of a reVo-
luton, the warning of his Death and
MS abd.cation. The play opens in his
beating in the hills. The following
seven scenes portray his escape thru
the woods and his eventual capture
and death.
The emperor's ruling passion is
gold With it he is fearless, domi-
rating, bold. swagger. Even as he
leaves his palace to enter the woods
he sees visions of his life to come-a
lie of dissipation and pleasure and
idleness.
Gilpin plays the part admirably
His laugh his arrogance, his lordli-
ness, his self eXaltation-and his ne
gro abandon in freedom. 1t is human
nature
His first stop in the woods, his as
surance that he'll find the food he
has hidden away under the rocks, his
confidence that the natives in all their
ignorance cannot conquer him. His
first pang of fear when the food is not
found, the gnaYing hunger-and the
constant beat ng of the drums.
Absolute darkness in the woods, the
VISIONS of his former sins, the fan
sies.
n WEAKNESS, the burdensome cloth
ing. the blistered, aching feet, the
feeling that he is lost.
and the beating of the drums,

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am young
girl and am broken-hearted. My folks
object to my boy friends. have one
friend whom love and know he loves
me. | want to get married just to
leave home and feel at times | will
have to. A boy broke up my home.
Will you please tell me something
to whiten the skin?
MINNIE @.
To get married in order to leave
home would be a very foolish thing
to do. Your parents have your inter
ests at heart and you should appreci-
ate the fact even if they do seem a
bit unreasonable IN regard to your boy
friends. Remember that if a boy
broke up your home they have reason
to be suspicious. Try to be patient
and sweet and see if giving your moth
er your confidence doesn't encourage
her to put more faith in you.
A teaspoonful of the tincture OF
benzoin to an ounce of rosewateI
forms well-known lotion which is
excellent for whitening the skin.

On Railroad Problem

years telling of the railroads mems

that widespread ignorance OF the
Adamson laws provision was the basis
of most of the opposition to It. Mr..
Maier spoke in the high school audi
torium, Wednesday evening.
Previous to the passage of this law,
10 hours work for a 100 mile run was
the basic days work on the railroad
he said. The law provides an eight
hour day for hundred mile run, bu-
does not provide for overtime for all
over eight hours. On a $50 mile run,
overtime does not start until after II
hours and on 125 mile run not until
after 10 hours.
Railroad men were raised in pay
July 20, 1920, $618, 900, 900 according to
the speaker. In order to bring in this
additional revenue, freight rates were
increased $1,000, 100000 Two year;
later, freight rates were reduced
$500 900, 900 and the rail mems pay was
decreased $558, 100000 In other words

A DINNER PARTY
Chapter 80


While she saw that frankie had his
simple evening meal and was bathed
and put to bed, Pan was naturally very
curious about the talk in the other
room. She had closed the door, of
course, as she went out but she heard
family the steady low murmur of the
mans voice and now and then an inter
ruption, a question or remark from
Gloria.
But frankie, once in his small paja-
mas and diminutive bath robe, always
had a farewell visit with his mother.
Pan thought of breaking this habit to-
night; she wanted to give Santley his
chance alone with Gloria
But children are creatures of habit.
Il always do say goodnight to her,
and I'm going to now" frankie said
stoutly Besides I can say goodnight
to Santley too. | like him, rawther
Being an initiative monkey, he had
picked up the broad "a" of his new
playmates and used their "rawther" on
every occasion.
So he went to the little living
So In he went to the little living
room that divided the two bedrooms
and made up coy, little hotel suite,
and prolonged his goodnight with all
the ingenuity only six year old pos
sesses.
One interruption! When he was IL
bed, as they had the same room, Pan
had to return to the living room, OF
stay where she was-which meant that
frankie would stay awake. She decid.
ed he had better lose some sleep than
have Gloria interrupted again. So she
pulled screen around his bed, and
took as much time as possible folding
and putting away his clothes. She
couldn't find anything to do then but
to dress herself for dinner, though she
was sure she would dine alone that
evening at the hotel, while they went
out.
Then Gloria opened the door.
She looked tired.
Clever little creature, aren't you?
sha whispered. Then aloud, Come
along in, Santley wants us to dine with
him"
''Oh-that's charming-Im afraid
can't, though" Pan was a little con
fused.
Nonsense" laughed Gloria.
You'd better come" Santley said
gravely, yet his eyes we're humorous
as he looked at her. when Gloria
makes up her mind"
And in this case you've made. up
yours too" Gloria said, with a double
meaning lost on Pan then, $50 the poo-
child has no chance at all. Run along

at the restaurant in an hour.

gone.

And that's that" said Gloria, rising
from her dressing table. Lets get a
taxi"
But as they entered the restaurant,
Pan watched the amazing change that
had taken place in three seconds in her
friend. Gloria with slightly flusher
cheeks and sparkling eyes, with her
little head held as only she could hold
it, walked smillingly to her table She
looked about 20.

EvictinS the Miners.

A news dispatch announces that evictions
have begun at coal mines in the central field,
though as yet on a small scale It is the old
story one of the fundamental things back of
all the superficial and transcient strike phe-
nomena that play a bigger part in the news.
Nearly all of the coal miners live in houses
belonging to their employers That is newt
able perhaps, from the nature of the coal in
dustry, which opens a mine wherever coal is
obtainable gets the coal out, closes the shaft
and moves TO a new field The company is
not only the miners landlord, but his store
keeper as we'll The miner has to buy his sup
plies usually at the company store because
there is not other available market. The ar
rangement is not SO bad when the miners are
working. When they are ideas they are a
large part of the time-the company may carry
them if the idleness is due to normal causes
and does not last too long.
In case of a strike, when the men find
themselves unable to meet their store bills and
rental charges they are ordered to vacate. 1t
seems natural thing to do. in that business.
but it is pretty hard the miners. Here and
there an exceptionally kind-hearted operator
allows the miners and their families to remain,
reducing their rent or trusting them for it, and
also giving them land to cultivate. This is
also understandable thing. If miners were
horses they would be fed and housed right
along through the year, regardless of industrial
conditions and the state of the fuel market.
Possibly industry will come to regard men in
the same way, some day-at the same time
abolishing the absurdities of strikes, lock
outs and long periods of Unemployment by
some natural system of cooperation.

Mulcting American Tourists.

The people of the United States have been
pouring out bags full of money in Europe dur
ing the past few months. The large cities of
Europe much pleased on account of having
many American visitors, and they are max
ing plans for taking away from the Americans
a little more of the good American money. The
report from Bavaria is that their legislative
body, called the diet. is planning to make the
expense account OF the Americans mount up
They are even undertaking to make it costly
to see the Passion Play at Oberammergau. In
Germany the editor of prominent newspaper
has suggested that every American should be
taxed 800 as soon as he sets foot on German
soil.
The leading newspaper of Paris denounces
the suggestion that Paris should rob the Amer
leans. Some other person or paper had sug-
gested that there be tax imposed on every
American visitor for years has been done at
Carlsbad and other famous resorts. Nothing
has been heard from Switzerland, the home of
the skillful robber of American visitors, but
have no doubt Switzerland will play her
former game with her greatest skill unless the
hotels in Switzerland have changed hands.
Some of the cities in Italy will need no further
instructions in regard to what to charge
Americans.
