Sealed Hearts," the new Selznick picture, starring Eugene OBrien,
 which will be shown at the Empress
 Theater tonight, was written by Ed. mond Gouilding The screen version is by Eugene Walter, the noted dra- matist. The play tells the story of a father and his adopted son who love the same woman and is said to be one of the deepest and most intricate dramas the Selznick star has yet at tempted
 The father is an industrial magnate whose whole life has been devoted to his work. To carry out his life's am bition he has adopted and reared the son of former friend. At length the father meets a young and pretty girl whose family urges her to accept his offer of marriage and for a time the husband and wife and adopted son attempt to live happily under one roof.
 But, try as he does to restrain his young wife's affections, the older gen. tleman finds that the two young hearts have gone out to each other. Then with the growth of his disillusion- ment, he decides that if he cannot be happy, neither shall they. The ending of this unusual and complex drama is startling and most unexpected. Robert Edeson and Lucille Lee Stew art head brilliant supporting cast
 "The Home Stretch" Douglas Mac Leans late Paramount-Ince starring vehicle will be the feature attrac- tion Sunday night.
 ! With the story hinging on the gam bling proclivities of a young horse owner and his difficulties in free ing himself from the influence Of the Goddess of Chance, "The Home Stretch" is said to afford MacLean one of the most entertaining roles of his popular career. Not only is !! the production rich in comedy, but it contains many gripping racing scenes, as well. Particularly notable are the scenes of a spectacular han dicap staged on one of Americas largest metropolitan tracks. Beatrice Burnham, Margaret Livingston, Wade Boetler,~ Charles Mailes and others equally we'll known afford MT. Mo Lean excellent support.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 9.-Pity the mail man in California around cleo tion time
 Take for instance the recent cleo tion in San Francisco alone. It was the task of the mail men of the city to deliver 75 tons of official election literature to the residences of the vo- ters of the, city.
 In the state at large the delivery ran around 32O tons-about one-half pound to the voter.
 Each voter received sample bal lot ten days before election. With the sample ballot is a phamphlet gotten out by the state giving the text of all constitutional amendments to be voted upon. Following the text of each amendment written by the leading pro,
 ponent and opponent of the measure
 This year there were 30 state amend
 ments. The pamphlet contained IA
 pages set in small type.
 A simple but effective method oi handling this enormous amount o1 additional mail matter-a deluge run
 ming Christmas time deliveries a close second-has been worked out by Reg istrar J. Harry zemansky in San Fran cisco. It enabled the mail men to
 make prompt delivery to each voter of his half pound of election literature without cumming up the routine pro cess of mail delivery and without bur dening the already heavily laden shoulders of the men in gray.
 Through the system worked out by
 Zemansky and the postal authorities the large envelopes containing the election literature are made up in bun. dies according to the postman'
 route. About block is contained in each bundle These bundles are sent to the storage boxes, hotels and apartment houses by motor truck The mail man each day delivers an install ment along with his regular mail, and the election date-sometimes more than that length of time in advance With the election literature in the hands of the voters their task begins One statistician estimated it would require the average working man three evenings of two hours reading to dt gest the contents of the pamphlets Another writer suggested that the wives take over the task of reading the literature in their spare moments
 thus saving the eyes of the men of the family.
 The ballot with it's referendums and amendments resembles a nightmare to the uninitiated voter. But the vo ters of California have become used to amendments and referendums and
 plenty of them. They take the mat ter of voting on them seriously and surprisingly large percentage ot the voters vote on all of the amendments Hot campaigns are waged on many oi the amendments and referendums ana their numbers on the ballot become familiar to the voters through adver- Using and campaign. In the recent election the outstanding issues among the amendments were the soldier aid measures, the dry law referendum, an amendment to the medical licensing law, and the proposal to put the state into the hydro-electrical power pusi ness.
