would again institute some form OF
daylight saving, inaugurated by him

THRoNG MOSCOW STREETS.
Factories Close for Demonstration
Against British Note.

By the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, May 12.-All Moscow s
factories and government institutions
were closed this morning to permit
the employees to take part in great
demonstration against the British
note Surging crowds early began to
Ali the streets of the city. The in
tent of the demonstrants seemed to
be peaceful. but it appeared evident
they meant to make the demonstra-
tion an impressive one.
Deputy Foreign Minister Ganetsky's s
declaration to the Moscow Council of
Trades Unions that. although Russia
is willing to confer with Great Brit
ain over the differences between the
two countries, she cannot accept
such an ultmatum" as was set forth
by Lord Curzon, is taken here as an
indication Of the trend of official opin-
ion toward the British note.
Labor Opposed Break.
Ganetsky told the council that the
soviet government desired no break
with Britain. We say to England"
he asserted. '1et US talk the matter
over. But do not dictate"
Ganetsky's statement that Russia
is against those who want to enslave
her" found a reflection in the resolu-
tion pa ssed by the council announcing
that Russia was ready If necessary to
respond with armed force 10 those
who try to infringe upon her inde-
pendence.
The soviet reply. it is generally ex-
pected. will go forward TO London
after Foreign Minister Tchitcherin's S
address to the special session of the
Moscow soviet, which has been sum-
moned for today.

POWERFUL DRAMA IN
JACKIE COOGAN'S LATEST

Daddy" a First National picture
starring Jackie Coogan, contains an
episode that critics have declared to
be the most powerful and gripping
they have ever beheld on the screen.
1t gives Jackie an opportunity to
register the deepest of grief with a
sincerity and naturalness that are
uncanny,
In this particular sequence appears
Cesare Gravini, an italian actor and
musician, celebrated on the European
stage. He plays the part of Gallo,
broken-down musician, forced to earn
his livelihood by playing for needless
pedestrians on street corners. The
forlorn and wandering Jackie, with
out home or parents, comes under the
notice of the old man, whose interest
in the lad is increased by the fact that
the boy himself is violin genius. He
takes the boy to his humble home and
out of his meagre store provides for
his wants and gives him priceless
lessons. But age, disappointment, and
do their work only too we'll,
and the time of parting comes for
Jackie and his benefactor. This is the
scene wherein Jackie rises to dramatic
heights and a poignant appeal not
equaled on the American stage. dad

SAYS GRUMPY
is BEST SCREEN ROLE

Does the eXhilarating thrill of sue
cess ever grow less? Theodore Rob-
erts, whose achievements in motion
picture characterizations have made
him famous, declares that the "fun of
making good increases rather than de-
creases." Mr.. Roberts lists among the
greatest roles of his brilliant screen
career that of ''Uncle Josh" in "The
Old Homestead" and Grumpy" in
which the veteran actor is featured
with May McAvoy and Conrad Nagel,
and which will be on view at the
Plaza Theatre next Wednesday and
Thursday. Of the two, Mr.. Roberts
states his belief that Grumpy" is by
far the biggest. "I took a sincere joy
out of my preparations for this grand
old character" says Roberts, refer
ring to the title role he plays in the
de Mile production. each night, as
read over the sequences of the next
day, took a great deal of pains and
pleasure in planning out every move,
every glance, every word of conversa-
tion. 1 believe Grumpy is my best
Characterization. For that reason, I
have been as thrilled in enacting it as
I was when I played my first stage
part years and years ago. 1t is be-
cause of the sensation of enjoyment
that get out of the character that I
feel free to state my belief that the
thrill of success never
loses it's delightful qualities
