MOORE TO PRESENT
GRIFFITH'S OPUS
AT THE RIALTO

Few patrons of the cinema realize
the constant effort required on the
part of the proprietor of a large
downtown picture theater where ex-
elusive ''hrst-run" showings. are the
rule and a high standard Of presenta-
ton must be maintained at all times,
to obtain the proper class of special
and super-productions which meas
ure up to the reputation Of the house
and the critical demands Of patrons.
A constant study of the film market
trade conditions and the output of
the large producers mus be ever pres
ent IL the exhibitor, catering to the
varying lasts of thousands. expects
to be successful.
No better example of the foregoing
can be found than in the campaign
which Tom Moore, one Of Washing
toms leading exhibitors, has been
waging for a year or more in an
effort to convince producers that big
productions should be presented to
cinema patrons via the screens OF
the regular motion picture theaters
and not brought to the city as q road
show and shown at prices ranging
as high as 50 per seat.
The result Of Moore's efforts is
that such offerings as "oueen Of
Sheha" and "a Connecticut Yankee"
at the Rialto instead of some So
called Legitimate" theater and this

VAUDEVILLE GRABS
TWO STARS FROM
ZIEGFELD "FROLIC"

Is there a royal road to stardom
Perhaps not, but the White Sisters,
who come to the National Capital
next week as one of the principal
attractions of the bill at B. F.
Keith's. seem to have found a pref
ty good imitation for it. They have
found the road smoothly asphalted
at least, and they have rolled along
1t as smoothly as one might travel
in a twin-siX.
These dainty sisters, Thelma and
Marjorie, are the darlings of New
York, and it was fully expected
that they would go on tho road
with the zjcgfeld "Frolfc," In which
Will Rogers was seen here recently.
However. vaudeville grabbed them
almost out OF the show and they
come here to the Keith house bring
ing all the verve and pep for which
they are famous
They are Canadian girls, and
were, like so many other young
sters. child Sprodigies. Their towns
people insisted that by gum, those
girls would make a big hit on the
stage. So effusive were the COM
menus Oh the SHldll-lO"n CiitiCS lhdl
at last the girls began to think
they were right. So they went on
the stage-and behold. unlike most
child prodigies, they made good
from the jump.
So their stage career has been
very pleasant and delightful. They
jumped into near-stellar rank at
the very start. and seem likely to
rank as top-notchers for long
time to come. The fact that they
make hit with the proletariat
doesn't mean that they can't shine
and sparkle for royalty as well.
When the Prince of Wales visited
Canada, he danced with them. and
was so much impressed with the
little vaudeville stars that he quite
neglected TIE adipose dowagers
who had gathered to do him honor.

REPORTS WORK
Saws There Is Great Demand
of Homes for Children
in Missouri.

Miss Willie Bryant, who for eight
years was visiting nurse for the Colum-
bia Charity Organization, as the Public
Welfare Society was then called, is visit
ing in Columbia this week at the home
Of Mrs. A. d. Woods.
Miss Bryant left Columbia last Febru-
ary to take up her work as child,placing
agent for the State Board Of Charities
and Correction, with her headquarters
at Jefferson City. She will return to
Jefferson City tomorrow TO make an
address before the Missouri State Con-
ference Of Social Workers on Child
Placing in Missouri"
Before | got into this work. said
Miss Bryant, Il did not realize how
many homeless children there were, and
had no idea how much work there was
to be done in relieving children from
unfortunate circumstances.
Fifty thousand dollars was appro-
priated by the legislature two years ago
for this work. In the time since then,
l79 children Lave been received by the
bureau and 88 Of these have been placed
in homes where they will be cared for
and be shown affection and love.
I'VE want applications from persons
in Columbia who can give homes 10
children and who will care for them as
their own. We have had no arplica-
lions for children from the people Of
Columbia and only a few from Boone
County. One homeless child was placed
recently in home at Centralia."
The bureau maintains a receiving

&. ON TRIAL 4
FOR MURDER
AT STRIP NINE
On Outcome Depends Fate of
II in Herrin Massacre
Indicted by Grand
Jury.
UNION FEELING STRONG
Careful Preparations Made to
Guard Courtroom Against
Sympathetic Demon
strations.

By United Press.
MARION, H., Nov 8.-Forty-eight men
charged with murder in connection with
the Herrin strip mine massacre last June
were scheduled to go on trial here today.
On the outcome of the trial will hang
the fate of seventy-seven men, who were
indicted by the grand jury which inves.
iigated the killings.
Careful preparations were made to
guard the court against any demonstra-
tion by the friends of the accused, as
feeling is running high in this mining
community against the prosecutors.
The prosecution is in charge Of At.
iorney Delos Duty, assisted by Attorney
General Brundage and a corps of assist
ants from the attorney generals office
in Springfield. Attorneys hired by the
United Mine Workers Of America will
have charge Of the defense. Circuit
Judge Hartwell will preside.
Twenty-three men were killed in the
massacre on June D. All were en-
ployed at a strip mine about two miles
from Herrin as strikebreakers. The
mine had been opened during the strike
of biiuminous coal miners, in violation
Of an agreement which had been entered
into by the mine operators and union Of
ficials that no attempt would be made to
work while the walkout was in progress.
The trouble started on June q, when
the union miners held a mass meeting
in dense woods to decide what action
to take to close the mine, after protests
TO the company officials had failed to
get results.
As the meeting was in progress, truck
guarded by three men with high powered
rifles, loaded down with supplies for the
men working in the barricaded mine,
roared down the road past the union
meeting.
Miners claimed that no effort was
made to moiest the truck. The men on
the truck declared shots were fired at
them from the miners meeting and they
returned the fire. Two miners in the
crowd were killed. No one on the truck
was hurt.
Incensed by the killing Of strikers, the
