Accompanied by his wife and
daughter, Mrs. Mathew Alien. he

which he created in the play, he
insisted that he would soon be out,

RUSSIAN MOBILES

Humble Labor

Paris, Nov. Paris today af-
feeds q striking contrast in the
jmanner IL which Russian members
Of nobility, refugees since the rev.
olution, are living in their exile.
Those who have means. and they
are very few. continue in Paris The
high life of which they were a
part during the reign of the Ro-
manoffs, while tho majority are
adapting themselves to the vicissi-
tudes Of poverty-accept all
sorts of humble occupations, and,
remarkably, without shame. They
accept, as a sort Of heroism, this
battle with adversely, meeting
cheerfully, with stifled pride. the
menial employment which would
have been unbearably humiliating
under ordinary circumstances.
Count Ignatieff, formerly one Of
the most popular officers of the
cars fayorite regiment, and "A mill

prince, still possessed Of u well

pawn value Of his family jewels,
stepped into Ignatieff's cab and
directed him to carry him to res.

a newly established Russian cafe
where the prices are so high it
would be difficult TO calculate
them in terms of rublcs.
Minchnikoff, son of a celebrated
Russian writer, also is a taxi driv-
er and his wife keeps stock in
well known perfumery house.
Prince Kotcheby, formerly an aide

Good Moving Pictures.

It's than just to say that there are good
moving pictures well bad there are moving
picture actors and actresses whose lives clean.
Abuse and degradation of the movie cannot OBJ
scure the truth that it is potential fundamentally
for good.
More than 10000 churches and numerous schools
are using them for entertainment and instruction.

James M. Barrie advocates of decent moving

If producers and exhibitors give the public whole
some and profitable pictures by actors of good
moral reputation, and If the public show it's de-
mand for such films criticism of the movies will soon
be negligible.
The movies can be transformed if the public de-
sires it, for the moving picture industry cannot exist
without the good will and patronage of the public
