of the Hudson Bay country in Jan

THEATRES
At The Dffmas

That his role of the Saharan chief
tain in 1.-THE Sheik," a %picturiza-
ton by George Melford for Para
mount of the now famous novel of
the same name which is the literary
sensation of the current season, is
the best of his screen career, is the
opinion of Rudolph Valentino who,
with Agnes Ayres, Paramount STIR,
is the featured player in the produce
ton. 1t will be shown at the Ditmas
Theatre today.
"I know of no more ~colorful role
than that of the Sheik in this
tremendous picture production" he
said during the filming of the photo
play in Paramount's California
studio. THE scenes are as wonder
full as they are ~stupendous and
romantic.
Miss Ayres was enchanted with her
role-the naughty English girl tam
ed by. a masterful son of the desert,
and by love.
And now those who have seen
the picture say those quoted are
right-for 1.-THE Sheik'' is a remark
able production.

COAL CONFEREES ADJOURN
AT SHORE CONFERENCE

ATLANTIC CITY, July 2S-An-
thracite miners and operators hav-
ing adjourned for the present their
wage conferences when they failed
yesterday to reach an understanding
on the check-off are now waiting
for something to turn up to permit
them To the negotiations.
The present wage contract under
which the miners are working ex-
pires in five weeks.
The interruption of the negotia-
lions, which came rather unexpect-
edly to the public, was not a sur
prise to those following the negotia-
tons. No anthracite conference in
the past has ever reached a point
where substantial progress was made
toward an agreement five weeks in
advance of the expiration of a con-
tract. Instead of sitting day in and
day out as heretofore, discussing
the demands, the two sides have
decided to suspend discussion until
either side is inclined to resume the
meetings. This was indicated by
the action of the operators in ask
ing that the secretary be authorized
to reconvene the meeting when
necessary. Close observers of the
situation believe that there will be
a suspension of mining on Septem-
Der l unless the government presses
both sides to agree. The miners
have been working full time since
they resumed operations after last
years long suspension and the
transportation of coal has been go
ing forward a little above normal
since last spring in anticipation OF
A shutdown this fall.
