RICH GOWNS IN HER
HUSBANDS TRADEMARK

Gloria Swanson has fully estab-
lished the claim of being one of the
best dressed women on the screen,
and at the Playhouse Monday and
Tuesday she offers fuller and more
conclusive proof, for she is playing
the title roll of picture, which has
as it's central theme the beautiful
dressing of beautiful woman. This
picture is Her Husbands Trade
mark" Paramount production, and
its theme is founded on the strange
creed of a man who believed that a
show of wealth would attract wealth,
and believing thus, gowned his wife
in most extravagant fashion. But
he built his creed on a false assump-
ton and his plans came tumbling
down with such completeness that
they resulted in his death. 1t all
makes a strangely unusual story,
forceful, dramatic, tense. AS an ex-
ample Of the lavish dressing of one
woman, the central character, it has
seldom, if ever, been equalled and
Gloria Swanson is surely perfect
wearer of gowns in addition to her
undoubted ability as an actress.

MONTE CRISTO" WILL
WIN NEW CONVERTS
Fox Great Spectacle Sure to Please
Captious Critics.

It is generally conceded that the
motion picture has not reached, to
any degree of permanency, quite a
number of persons in America. Just
why it has not is more or less of a
mystery. Those few which the screen
has not reached are numbered among
the older folks who still doubt that
motion pictures can portray a story
in an interesting manner.
However, these doubling Thomases
will have a new Joy in witnessing
the remarkable drama adapted from
the famous story, Monte Cristo,"
written by the immortal Alexandra
Dumas. 1t is to have it's local pre-
miere at Jimmie's Playhouse next
Wednesday and Thursday. 1t was
produced by william Fox under the
direction of Emmett ]. Flynn.
The story, which has been read by
millions and which will ever remain
as a classic of adventure, love and
romance, provides an excellent theme
for a screen drama: 1t is possible
through the scope of the motion pic
ture camera to carry the audience to
France, the locale of the story, and
there depict in faithful way the
stirring adventures of the youth first
known as Edmond Dantes.
Few, if. any of the older genera
ton, who have read at all, have new
er read this story. For this reason
many who seldom go to the motion
picture theatre, will do so when this
great Fox special opens here. This
has proved to be the case in other
cities where the picture has already
been shown.
The local management states that
Monte Cristo" is without an equal
as a screen drama.

Yonn Kippur.

The Jewish families of Union City
have been observing, with their
brethren all over the land, the Day
of Atonement, known as Yom Kippur,
and for this observance the stores
in Union City were closed last Sat
urday. This is the hottest day OF the
Synagogue. Wherever the Jewish
people happen to be they cease on
that occasion from worldly concerns,
and they are a very devout people
and reverence their religious rites as
do very few of the races. Our Jewish
friends in Union City all keep their
holy rites inviolate.

CAN HAVE z CITY JOBS,
: BUT MOVE NOT APPROVED

4 TRENTON, Sept. 26.-If city Off
Gals want to give one mar two jobs
and pay him for both, thereby doub-
ling his salary, they can do it. but
the Civil Service Commission will
not place its stamp of approval on
the practice. Such was the decision
of that body here yesterday when 1t
refused to Q. X. the appointment of
Jersey City Water Assessor Frank
McCaren to the additional job of
acting registrar, with two salaries of
$500 each.
The commission ruled that it can
not prevent McCarren's appointment
since it has no jurisdiction in the
matter. and so decided to request
Jersey City commissioners to pass a
resolution showing that they want
McCarren to get two salaries. After
that the Civil Service Commission
will not be responsible.
This action was decided upon after
Director Fagen, of the city commits
sion, had advised the civil service
authorities that it was the intention
to pay the one man for both jobs,
making a total of $1,000 a year., and
asking the state body's approval.
Fifty-seven salary increases, re-
quested by the state Board of Health
for it's employees, were turned down
fiat by the commission at yesterdays
meeting, in accordance with the
general policy of no increases this
year announced by the State House
Commission. Some of the proposed
raises which were approved by the
Board of Health at it's meeting Sep
TENDER 10, were asked for on the
ground that they might have been
made" before July 1, when the or
der against increases vas made eff
sActive. The civil service body did
see il that way.

Only One Contest in City,
Heavy Republican Vote Re-
corded at Primaries

SOUTH AMBOY, Sept. 27.-The
primary election of yesterday, in this
city, brought out one of the largest
Republican votes in the history of
South Amboy. All told there were
1047 Republican ballots cast, COM
pared with SAB cast in the 1920 pres
idential year, and the memorial may
orality race of this city. Voting
during the morning and early after
Eoor was exceptionally slow, and tor
a time had candidates busy trying
to get the voters interested. But
lXng before the closing hour, the
NAeat rally came not alone to the
republicans, but to the Democrats
as well.
The only local contest being in the
second ward, where Philip Downs
n Thomas Lovely, the latter DUN
Gilman, fought for the nomination
for the office of councilman in that
district. Fol a great many minutes
the announcements indicated a very
close race, but Lovely received the
nomination by a majority of 70.
Both parties had local color on
their tickets. The Republicans with
Harold G. Hoffman, for assembly
man. while the Democrats had Ed
ward J.. O'Connor, candidate for
freeholder.
Both men received the nomination
n will fight for supremacy at the
fall election. Hoffman and O'Connor
were notified at an early hour this
morning that they were in the race.
The popularity of each ~cannot be
denied in the face of the outstanding
features of the contest.
1t was generally conceded that
Hoffman would be named, although
feJ dreamed that he would lead the
ticket. In the case of O'Connor,
things looked doubtful for a great
time, but the old cloud showed that
1t indeed had a silver lining.
Congratulations from every source
are pouring into the business places
of both successful candidates, while
they in turn seem gratified by the
scupport given them throughout the
county.

France and Great Britain put it, there

unity on the important points discuss

From its commencement the confer

cording to the views expressed by close
observers of the situation, and these
observers tonight are of the opinion
that the failure indicates utter incom-
patibility between the policies of Great
Britain and France toward Germany
To what extent the recent note of
the Earl Of Balfour contributed todays
results is partly evidenced by the lines
of the eleventh hour attempt by Sig
nor Schanzer, the leading Italian dele
gate, at Mediation with Premier Lloyd
George at Checquers Court Sunday,
when the Italian foreign minister pro-
posed that discussion Of a moratorium
for Germany and cognate matters

proposition to the conference today,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-The South
ern Railway which to date has made no
efforts to combat the shopmens strike
announced today through it's president,
Fairfax Harrison. that 1t would employ
any help available to keep trains in oper-
alton.
Mr.. Harrison in a formal statement
said that the Southern had made every
effort to settle with its men even "to
the extent of offering terms that they
had previously agreed to accept" and
without result and that eff it means war
to run the Southern Railway then let
us have it now-not later"
Officials of the company supplemented
Mr.. Harrisons statement only to the ex-
tent of pointing out that conferences be-
tween the railroad management and the
strikers were held last week without re-
suit and that the only course left open
to the company was to employ such
workers as could be obtained.
The action of the Southern generally
regarded as significant in that it had
heretofore made no effort to fill the plac-
es of the shopmen who went on strike
and in that it, not being a member of
the Association of Railway Executives
had not participated in the two meetings
held by that organization in New York

Refused Settlement offered by Their

sPARTANBURG. s. C., Aug 14-rhe
Spartanburg branch of the federated
shop crafts unions of the Southern Rail-
way through it's executive committee, to-
day issoed a statement giving the reasons
for their refusal to accede to the terms
of settlement offered by that railway, in
Washington on July 8. They stated I'VE
were bound by every rule Of ethics not
to do so' When an honorable man
enters into an agreement, verbally or
otherwise, he carries out at any cost
every obligation binding him thereto.
The members of the shop crafts OF the
Southern Railway are honorable men and
as their agreement is nationwide in i'm
port, we could not accept the terms OF
a separate settlement, regardless OF our
personal feelings towards the manage
ment of the Southern Railway without
stultifying ourselves, which we will
never do"
