SERVANT QUESTION
IN BRAZIL LIVE one
Federal Government Issued De-
cree In Effort To Solcve
Troublesome Problem

RIO DE JANEIRO Brazil, Oct
12--The servant question in Rio,
which has ben driving the house
wives of this city to distraction
for years and years, finally be-
came so acute that it was taken
up, studied and solved" by the
Federal Government.
The solution to this tormenting
problem took the form of Decree
No. 16,107, which delegates to the
police the trifling matter of carry
ing the details into effect
Before the decree was enacted,
however, the servant question out
stripped all competitors, even the
high cost of living, in bringing
worry into the average home. Ser.
wants came and servants went,
but the question went Oh forever.
Not only was it impos ible TO
court on the presence of any ser
want from one minute to the next,
but hudreds Of homes found that
the day before was in reality al
experienced and clever chief. One
Of the routine tasksk Of the police
was tracing thieving sercants.
On the other hand the servants
complained that employers ex-
pected too much Of them in time
and kind Of work, and that they
we're given no guarantees as to
healthful working conditions and
moral considerations.
For these and other reasons,
decree 16,107 provides that all
servants must possess cards Of
Identification from the police. No
servant can enter into employ
met without notifyig the police
and registering the terms Of the
agreement with the employers, nor
can anyone employ a servant with
out registering the act with the
police. The decrno arrles to do
estic service of all kinds; cooks,
buffers, maids, laundry girls,
gardeners, nurse girls, seanstreas,
walters in hotels and restaurants.
bar tenders, jaintors, and even Of
flee boys.
Whether servants or employers
will be any better by effect Of the
decree, no one ventures TO pre-
dict, but it is expected that the
average time of a job viii be long
er than it has been. and that the
servant disguise will go out of
fashion among thieves.

B. KEATON AS
CLOWN
ROMEO

There are many ways of pad
ding a comedy-stretching a logi-
cally short subject to feature
length. And great many of
Americas foremost comedians are
not averse to such practice occa-
sionally-witness Chaplin's 1.-THE
Pilgrim" which started out to be
a corking two-reeler and wound
up as a rather slow feature film!
Many methods have been en-
ployed to make films longer than
they should be, all in the cause of
creating what popular demand has
made imperative-main attrac-
tons not under five reels in
length. The most legitimate way
of thus stretching a comedy has
been uncovered by no less than
Buster" Keaton. Metros frozen
faced funny man. whose Three
Ages" is on view this week at
Loew's Palace Theater. Three
Ages" is a simple-very simple
love story, told without embel-
lishments-there are the hero. the
villain and the lady in the case,
Keaton turns the trick of making
the story n siX-reeler by telling
it three times-each time in
different period. The result is
film novelty most pleasing to be-
hold, with touches Of comedy that
would make brass monkey
litter.
Here's the idea: Love you are
told in the fOreword. is the same
throughout eternity. Only sur
roundings change. To prove the
thesis you see "A Stone Age set

1.-THE Green Goddess" positively
glitters in the scenes held by the,
star. His well remembered work
az the Rajah of Rukh i'll the orig
inal version has been faithfully
reproduced on the silVersheet,
with many added opportunities
which the limitations OF the
legitimate stage forbade. OF
course, to counterfeit these new
opportunities is the loss OF the
voice-and since "The Green
Goddess" is essentially a play OF
characterization in which dialogue
is in many cases predominant
over action, the cinema version
suffers accordingly. -
The story, in screen form. IS
not as quick in tempo as II
might have been. 1t must be CON
fessed that there are spots that
drag a little. To balance the
scales, of course, is the scintn-
lating manner in which the star
carries off every scene in which
he appears. But stories OF char
acterization are rarely successrul
in the movies-unless, as In
'Grun1p'' there is a swift-mov-
ing, pulse-quickening plot to frame
the character about whom and
for whom the tale is told. The
Green Goddess" is a superlatlVe
vehicle to exhibit the talents OF
George Arliss-but as ali atren-
tion-holder from the standpoint
of swiftlIess of action it has
fault or two.

A surrounding cast of unusual
ability supports Arliss. Alice
Joyce, famed in the halcyon Vita
graph days, plays the female
lead; David Powell, sincere and
quiet, contributes a depressed and
convincing portrayal; while Harry
T. Morey, another old.time Vita
graph favorite. contributes a real
gem with his work as Miss
Joyce's military, rum-soaked hus-
band. Jetta Goudal, William

in minor parts, give promise Of
