MORE THAN $1,000 RAISED

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10:-The
Red Cross Japanese relief fund is
approaching the $4,000, 900 goal SUBJ
scriptions reported to national head
quarters now total $4,071, 900.
BY divisions the totals are: Wash
ington, $2,439,000; New England,

~S612,000; Southwestern, $780, 900;
Pacific, ~$267,S0 and Insular and
Foreign, $140,500.
Necessity OF swelling the contri-
buttons to a maximum during the
current week in order to expedite
relief for the hundreds of thousands
of injured and more than two mil
lion homeless in the sticken area
was emphasized in a joint statement
by John Barton Payne, national
chairman of the Red Cross, and Sec
rotary of Commerce Hoover, who,
as a member of the executive com
mittee, is aiding in the relief activ-
tiles. For American aid to be of the
most effective character, the state
ment said I'VE must have American
resources placed at III disposal
during the coming week.
The economic s~trerlyth of Japan,
which calls for extension of every
normal facility of trade to that
country by American business men
as a means of expediting recovery,
the statement emphasized, makes 1t
none the less imperative that Amer

THEATRES


~ 49,
/ How many elements of character
ization are necessary to a successful
motion picture? In William de
Miles Paramount production OF
Grumpy" which m to the
Strand theatre today, every essentia.
is made use of. The cast carries III
the story in a most pleasing fashion
Grumpy" for example, played by
Theodore Roberts, one of the feat
ured players, is a lovable, peculiar
old character whose keen brain and
quick wit save every situation.
Coming to the Majestic
It will be good news for the old
folks, the young folks and all the
folks to learn that The Captain and
the Kids" is announced to appear
at the Majestic nex Monday, Sept,
II, matinee and night. Hans and
Fritz, the two leading characters in
the musical comedy, are national
favorites. The two famous Holland
Riddles have been appearing as mis-
chief making heroes in this pictorial
section of the daily papers for a
number of years. THE Captain and
the Kids" is said to be one of the
most delightful musical comedies
that will be seen here this eason.
At The Majestic
Perhaps one-tenth of the dangers
encountered in motion picture pro-
duction reach and are appreciated
by the fans who see the finished
photoplay.
No greater example of this truth
EXISTS than "Racing Heatrs," a
Paramount picture starring Agnes
Ayres, which is due at the Majestic
Theatre today.
Also a vaudeville bill of five acts,
including Healy and Dehle in a
dancing act; Milton Beyrl in i'm
pressions of famous stars; Sauer &c
Steger in a comedy skit; Three Red
dingtons in a variety act and return
of the popular favorites, The Har-
mony Four.
At the Ditmas
That crime is largely the product
of environment was powerfully
demonstrated in the Principal Pic
ture, which to the Ditmas
theatre today, Tuesday and Wednes-
day, as an Irving Cummings pro-
duction. The story is woven around
a young girl, who, while she remains
in the city, is a criminal. But when
circumstances take her away into
the open spaces of the country she
becomes a changed woman and
love and peace transform her.
At the Crescent
Three reasons why "Railroaded,"
the Universal attraction coming to
the Crescent theatre today, Tuesday
and Wednesday should be n of
the popular screen plays of the sea-
son are the star of the play, the
director and the high quality of the
published story.
Herbert Rawlinson, whose name
is symbolical of dramatic action and
colorful romance, is the I in the
production and the role he essays
is one of the strongest he has ever
played. It is that of the crook son

followed and witnessed the tragedy.

followed and witnessed the tragedy.
.'These homicides took place in the
presence of innumerable witnesses.
It cannot be true that the persons, or
many of them, engaged in the mob
are not known to citizens of that
county. Yet there has been no con-
viction of this breach of the Grim
inal law, nor is there the remotest
possibility there ever will be one."
Regardless of Supreme Court de-
cisions establishing the validity of
the so-called yellow dog" contracts,
which prohibits a miner in some
open shop plants from joining a
union, the Commission declared
these documents to be a source of
economic irritation and suggested
their elimination from practices in
the industry.
1.-The Commission ~reiterates," the
report concluded, that 1t is seek
ing something better for the future
than the mere fixing of responsible
ity for past violations. 1t does not
minimize the gravity of all sorts of
crimes which have taken place. 1t
cannot too strongly condemn the Gus
tom of permitting either operator or
IlllBIS " lQIlllSAl aCPALy oAicAAAAog
policemen, or other public officials
not paid out of the public treasury.
That state and local government
has not risen to the level of the av-
erage of justice in America which
has not both the will and power to
preserve the life and the property Of
its citizens.
1.-The Commission condemns equal
ly that lax local government which
has seemed to render it necessary for
the owner of property to police it
at his w expense and in the event
of strikes to bring in professional
strike breakers, who are frequently
better gunner than they are labor
ers, and the exercise of that right
which inherently belongs to an AM
erican citizen, namely, that of a
stranger voluntarily walking into a
community, hiring a hall, and giving
that community a lecture on what
it's rights and duties are. Many good
intentioned people, seeking to serve
the common veal, have unwittingly
contributed more to crime than to
character-making.
And finally, il neither the pat
riotism, private conscience, nor bust
ness common-sense of the industry
shall lead all persons engaged in it
not only to observe the law but to
help enforce the law; and if State
and local authorities shall be i'm
potent in prosecuting and convicting
violations thereof, then it is the
solemn duty of the Congress of the
United States to ssum jurisdiction
over these American rights, bringing
the full power of the Union to their
preservation by the prosecution and
conviction of all persons, whether
high or low, who shall dare to vio-
late them.
THE Legislative, Judicial, and Ex-
ecutive branches of this Government
must not permit a Union of Opera

of both to become greater than the
