Norma Talmadge Has Ideally
Suited Role in Within
the Law

In Within the Law" the screen
adaptation of the stage success by
Bayard Veillers, which opened at
the Metropolitan yesterday, Norma
Talnadge again forcefully demon
~strates her ability as an emo
tional actress with a f1nesse
which characterizes this picture
s.as the seasons triumph.
v within the Law" is the story
sof struggling shop girl who'
through unfortunate circumstance
lis hustled off to prison Though
/ inn6cent, she serves her term
s.and returns to the world to FIND
its doors barred. There is born
sthe desire for revenge, the desire
Ito make those pay who have
scaused her to suffer. How she
plays her game, keeping always
r"Within the Law. how she
sawakenss to, the realization of
edeep love and the futility of re-
asvenge, and how she found hapni-
eness in the end would be entirely
: too much to reveal.
4 And now Norma Talmadge has
aadded another character to her
aalready long list of portrayals-
@Mary Turner, the shop girl. 1t is
sdifficult to express the height to
(which this star ascends. One
must note the facial expressions,
nthe flash of the eye; one must
see her portray the pathetic shop
Egirl pleading for Justice; one must
watch her become the woman of
sthe world melting out her punish.

woman, all woman, whose heart
has been melted by the touch of

work done by each artist. Among
the principals are Eileen Percy.

Lew Cody Joseph Kilgour and
Others,
Z A complimentary word should be
said for Bayard Veillers, the au-
thor of this forceful play He
has welded the pen, the mightiest
sof all weapons. in satirical, the
sInightiest of all ways. and
AGAINST Justice, the mightiesf
of all forces. One leaves the
xtheatera in a thoughtful frame of
mind, rather yes, I believe it's
right, attitude. "A deal. of good,
sehard common sense. plugged with
just plain facts, is Within the
Law" 1t may be played up a
sbit just for the sake Of the play,
but the sad part OF it is there
us more truth than poetry be-
hind it.
. Hold Tight" a fair comedy. at
times, furnishes some good laughs.
1T is, altogether, passable and de-
serving of mention. The usual
sminor features complete the bill.

lasco last week by George Mar
shall's production of "Bluebeard's
Eighth Wife" the Charlton An

major successes Of her notable
career before the footlights, made
necessary the continuation of this
play for second week, which was
opened last night with every mark
Of appreciation by the audience.
Lovers Of the theater will re-
call the fact that Miss Claire
made an appearance In this play
at the Garrick here prior to the
opening on Broadway, where it
achieved brilliant run and
placed the name of Alfred Savior
on a par with Sachy Guitry as a
writer of boulevard farce for the
American theater.
In making his presentation of
the piece in Washington, George
Marshall has sumptuously mount
ed the production and to it's in
depreciation he has brought
notable Broadway cast that is
headed by that Belasco Theater
faVorite. Hazel Dawn, who enacts,
in this play, the role of a beauti-
full but shrewd young girl who
finds herself the object of the
attentions Of an American mil
ionaire.
Fred Raymond, jr., in the role
Of counterfeit lover, with whom
the girl outwlts her husband,
contributes another major char
acterization to the play while
Frank Conroy makes most ac-
ceptablet husband. There are 9TH
ers who offer important roles in
this, the Belascos latest produc-
tim under the Marshall hanper.

Once in a. great while one of
our leading picture houses puts
on a bill every number of which,
music, comedy, scenic, news and
feature, scores 'bulls-eye" on
the target of public approval.
Such bill awaits those who at
tend Moore's Rialto Theater this
week
Two major offerings stand out
among a series of lesser but
equally noteworthy and enjoy
able advertisements, the first be-
ing Paramount Pictures latest
production featuring Agnes Ayres,
Richard Dix and Theodore Rob
erts in Racing Hearts, and the
second the appearance OF Messrs.
John and Walter Salb, the broth
ers being, heard in piano duet
and musical review programmed
as "Ten Mintes of Jazz" with the
Melody Boys. Either offering is
worthy Of headliuing any bill, ana
the two combine to form dou-
BILE attraction far above the DRILL
nary.
A new Agnes AyreS comes 10
the screen ip her presents imper-
sonation. A tantalizing, viva
cious girl, with golden bobbed
hair. a flashing smile and spar
king eyes, takes the place of the
serenely charming young woman
to whom we have became accus-
toned i'm previous productions.

new character as the poppy

Many will doubtless see 1t and pro-
nounce it good.
An exceptionally clever Paul
Parrot comedy, For Arts Sake
reminiscent of Charlie Chapiin's
earlier and more clever days, to-
sether with Pathe News and
Topics; fills out the bill. Cannon
and his orchestra hit high mark
with their rendition of Offenhach's
'Orpheus in Hades' overture.

MADE-T0-0RDER PUBLIC OPINION
TRACED TO SPECIAL INTERESTS

New York, Dec. 12-Pubc opinion throughout the
world is largely "a manufactured articethe output of
propaganda factories said United States Senator Wheel
of Montana in speech in this city If the public wants
the truth they must pay for it. and not depend special
interests, he said
The awmaker declared that the day of the great per-
sona editor is gone, and that with very few notable
ceptons the magazines and newspapers ether owned
outright by the great industrial and financial interests
controlled through the advertising patronage"
"Ths is not criticism of the publishing business but
indictment of the system said Senator Wheeler "The
publication of newspapers and magazines is business
and is other business is nfor profit. This profit
may be secured from general advertising patronage or it
may come from some economic advantage secured
through the control of public opinion.
81 think am justified in asserting that the greatest
to the peace and prosperity of the nations today
is the flood of propaganda that fills the public press and
distorts public opinion.
GAS long the public expects to get daily paper for
cents for cents the public will get just what the in
terests that put up the money want to give.
If the public wants newspaper or magazine to give
it the truth it must pay for it."

No history of the nineteenth CEN
fury will be complete that fails to
give due attention to the rise, in
fluence and power of the trades union
movement, symbolized by the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.
The American Federation of La
Dor, its underlying cause and ever
inspiring incentives are founded upon
profound metamorphosis in social
/ and economic conditions which no
man could have foreseen a century
ago. The American Federation of
Labor has been the dominant agency
| through which has been crystalized
the principle of collective bargaining.
Through collective bargaining a phil
osophic spirit of altruism has been
tempered by practical dealings and
made to serve efficiently in the solu-
ton of problems ever arising in our
industrial and social life.
Protiting by the error of its prede-
cessor in the field of experimental
unionism, the Knights of Labor, which
withheld from the worker the pride
of his craft, ignored the superior
qualifications of the members of a
given trade to determine issues pecul-
lar to their calling, and attempted to
rule by force rather than good will
the American Federation of Labor
has pursued a course which has been
JUSTIFIED and indicated by time and
events.
In its comparatively brief span of
life the American Federation of Labor
has bound together in a common
cause over 100000 wage earners.
1t has reared great edifice. 1t has
built vast structure for humaniz-
ing people and elevating life stand
ards.
1t has the foresight of seeing grow
ing strength and increasing power of
those in the vanguard of industrial
| development, and of realizing that
without some correlation and co-ordi-
nation of workers the vast mass at
the machines would be ground down
almost to dust.
Those who have so long oppressed
| the workers have selfish and personal
| reasons of their own to condemn
| trade unionism. Others find fault
| because of mistakes made by labor;
yet all movements and vast activities
of whatever kind are not free from
error and fault. But the virtues and
the cause of organized worlingmen
are clearly demonstrated by the larg-
er and ever larger acceptance bv en-
ployers of the tenets which trade
unionism originated and has fought
for through more than a generation.
Yesterday collective bargaining was
spuned as an impossible thing. To-
day it is fast becoming the order of
things. The shorter workday was
near-treason yesterday. Today it is
accepted, even by the steel magnates,
and the whole world knows that it is
right and sound economy in the hu-
man schemes of things.
Early in October the American
Federation of Labor met in annual
session in Portland, Oregon. This
was the forty-third annual session OF
American labor's parliament. 1t wa,

great gathering. 1t was a great
meeting of labor's representatives. 1t
demonstrated that trade unionism has
ideals that are wholesome and ele-
waiting; that it visions and plans more
than for the immediate future; that
its horizon extends beyond the work
shop and that it represents all that
is just in government, sound in eco
Monies, clean in politics and good for
the public welfare and well-being.
The American trades union move
ment is representative of and cham
pions the cause of the great mass,
which has few defenders and many
oppresSors. 1t seeks to develop a
better citizenship and a wholesome
industrial and social order. The at
titudes expressed, the policies de-
clared for, the decisions reached at
this recent session of Americas La
Dor Congress, justifies the claim of
trade unionism that it exercises a
factorship for the welfare and sta
bility of the Republic scarcely par
alleled by any other agency. Instead
of being reviled it should be esteemed
by every true American and be loved
by very wage Garner in the land.

Aliens Are Menace,

Allentown, Pa, Dec. 12.-"There is
no more important subject to consider
than the restriction of further admis-
sion to this country of the unem-
ployed surplus labor of Europe, which
has shown itself to be dangerous to
the welfare of American labor" says
David Williams, editor of the Penn
sylvania Labor Herald.
The labor editor points out that
when railroad shop employees returned
to work they found that employers
used these alien strikebreakers" to
beat down wages and working condi-
tons.
ANY BUSINESS man knows that he
does not get the trade from the low
paid foreigner that he gets from the
higher-paid organized workers. Yet
how often do we find the business
men, who must depend upon the trade
from those who work for wages, lin
ing up with the manufacturers who
want to cut down wages.
1.-THE United States is of some size,
but not big enough to assimilate the
unemployed population of Europe and
maintain our present standards of liv-
ing. Failure to protect the wage
earners will cause suffering and trou-
BILE later on"

UNION SAVES
WORKERS FROM
SERF EXISTENCE

Chicago, Dec. l2.-The Bakery
Workers union rescued workers in
this industry from a life of serfdom,
and also guarded the public health.
In former days employers had sole
power over working conditions, lust
as the Ward baking company now de-
mands when IT rejected an agreement
with the union, and insists on the
anti-union shop.
We remember keenly," says Edi-
tor Hohmann of the Bakers Journal,
when the bakers of our country were
in the most deplorable condition.
AT that time men in the bakeshops
were often C ompelled to work is
hours a day for hardly any wages
and amid Undesirable surroundings.
The work shops We're located in most
instances in dark and filthy cellar
holes where no ray of sunhsine en-
tered. Down there these men-and in
great many cases also their en-
ployerS-were compelled to spend the
greater part of their lives.
When In theeS days on a Saturday,
the only dav which gave them a few
hours of rest usually spent in a
boarding house saloon frequented by
their fellow workers, who tried TO get
a few pleasant hours out of he
meager dollars they had earned BY
drinking and gambling to temporarily
forget their miserable eXistence) Won
met some Of these ha. gard and pale
faced men on the street, showing the
unmiStakable imprint of the consump-
tive and over-worked, you were, nine
times out of ten, correct in classify
ing them as bakery workers.

will meet with the Associated Con-
tractors to outline plans leading to
agreements next year.
The peaceful relations of employer
and employee in the Twin Cities
during the past years leads to the pre-
diction that there will be no trouble
encountered in getting together.
The general fattering condition in
business and labor circles has demon
strated as effectively as anything
could, that Labor has been justified
in asking the wages it now receives
in the various crafts.
Much of the prosperity Of the two
cities may be laid directly to the
signed agreements granting Labor
what it termed last year a living
wage. Without such wages there
would have been less contentment and
much less prosperity.
Where would Labor have been had
it not been for organization? And
where would the boosted prosperity Of
the Twin Cities have been had it not
been for the fact that laboring men
as a class have been accorded a reas-
enable measure Of their rights? In
stead of prosperity since early last
spring, and an optimistic outlook for
the ensuing year, there would have
been business stagnation, discomfort
and a general lack of confidence.
Every laboring man wants to see
continuance next year of the pros
perity and harmony of the past year
He is not going to do anything to
spoil that harmony-beyond asking
for justice, and that in itself should
inspire harmony where Labor treats
in its councils with reasonable men.

1.-THE new year will come with &
slight trade depression but will &c
Duet with a trade revival" Such, ac
cording to a dispatch printed in q
daily paper, is the prediction of q
prominent banker.
Such a business forecast might
safely be made by any street corner
philosopher. There is always a slight
business stagnation" following the
holidays, and following the slight
stagnation there is, or always has
been, "a revival"
But it happens that this bankers
prediction is basde upon something
more than mere desire to be i'm
pressive. He points out that the COS,
of building materials will be some
what lower than last year, and pre-
diets that wages will continue on
about the same level. This he thinks
will make it possible for some people
to build who have long deferred their
building plans. He further thinks
that there will be increased activity
in the automobile, iron and steel in
dustries.
He claims to have noted only slight
signs of unemployment. Men are be-
ing laid off in the mines perhaps more
than in any of the other industries.
But usually unemployment results
throughout the country not because of
a general shutting down of industries
but because of contractors having
completed their seasons work, as in
the Twin Cities, with the new hotel,
the Stadium, and other large build
ings completed men are temporarily
laid off until the same contractors
have opportunity to begin other plans.
In the Twin Cities work will prob
ably not open with a rush until fair
weather sets in in April or May.
There will be at least three trying
months for the laboring man, and
then seven months to nine months of
continuous labor in the Twin Cities.
Such a condition is what the east
ern banker predicts for the whole ma
ton, and compared with previous
years, the prediction takes on an as
pect of optimism, whereas for the
past five years the outlook has been
almost the reverse.

Public schools have for many years
held out the ideal that every boy
should aim at a profession where he
will never have to wear a soiled shirt.
That is largely the fault of the men
teachers who, naturally, are expected
to wear stiff collars, creased trousers
and patent leather shoes. But teach
ers, and most other white collared
professions are paid less today than
the machinist, the carpenter, the
plumber, the mechanic, etc. Would it
not be we'll to take a little CRIME
and dust if in the end the returns are
more satisfactory?
