SOCK AND
BUSKIN

Constance TaImadge's latest
cinema effort to be shown in
Washington, 1.-THE Dangerous
Maid" which is at the Metropol-
itan this week, is another cos
tune picture-of which there has
been an abundant redundance this
season. But to give the little
devil" her due, it can be classed
at least as a different sort of
costume picture. For while
there's a tale involved that's as
melodramatic as any of it's crepe
Observation-Disclosures, swash-
buckling predecessors, it's worked
out in a light-hearted manner
that departs radically from the
accepted standard wherein prin-
ciples and extras carry about
their tin swords and plumed
chapeaux with sober and serious
men.
In other words-to wax even
further explicit-"The Dangerous
Maid" is that rara avis, a COM
edy-drama. A medy-drama, in
ldCl1 WIICISAI1 JIC COlAACuy 40 OOtAA
natural and injected, yet present
at all times in sufficient quanti-
ties to balance the scales against
the Vaccinations of the despicable
villain and his tyrannouS cohorts.
All of which is topped with a
meringue of period settings and
bygone costumes. ReSult-much
laughter, g. few viearious thrills,
and a not-too-lasting impression OF
the film as whole. An ideal
picture, in fact, for those who
attend the movies to be amused
rather than elevated.
The cast is excellent for the
work involved. Constance Tai
madge as Barbara WinsloW (oh.
by-the-way, the story's from the
novel, Barbara Winslow, Rebel"
by Beth Ellis) gives a satisfying
impression of the frivolous young
miss, whose political feelings have
a trend in the wrong direction
during one of England's earlier
periods of internal strife. Oppo-
site her is Conway Tearle, sullen
and aloof as ever-clad in q flow
ing Wig THAT undheS HAIn AOOA
totally ridiculous. Marjorie Daw
and Kate Price have bits TO do,
as has that delightful old codger,
Tully Marshall; while Charles
Gerrard's villainies are of the
"Cur-rse you, Jack Dalton" type.
The additional entertainment is
afforded by Harry Tighe and Ned
Sparks in lone Night it Rained,"
a jim-dandy comedy. Pathe News
is shown, and Breeskin's men play
Won Suppe's WORKOUT Poet and
Peasant" overture, in which the
work of the orchestra's celist
transcends that of the rest Of
the organization.-R. L. B.

CLAIMS RING IS HERS
AS MAN BROKE TROTH

NEW YORK. March 17.-Mary
Michigan, of Stapleton, testified
that she became engaged to Robert
d. Taite, of Richmond, last Christ.
mas week with the understanding
that if he broke the troth she was
to keep the $375 diamond engage
ment ring. If she broke it, he was
to get it back.
Miss McGuigan told Magistrate
Fetherston that ten days ago Robert
dropped in and asked her to remove
the ring so he could "see it." He
put 1t in his pocket, took his hat
and left, and that was the last seen
either of the solitaire or of Robert.
Magistrate Fetherston reserved de.

EASILY ONE OF
THE SEASONS
FINEST

''Thy Name is Woman" at
Loew's Columbia this week, is an
other Fred Niblo triumph which
almost beggars description.
The International News reel
"gets you all het up" as a sort Of
appetizer and along comes the
feature and simply Stays you. The
foreword exactly expresses 1t, for
it surely is "a tale that taketh
children from their play, breathes
fire into the nostrials of youth
and beguileth old men from their
chimney corners" Everybody en-
joyed it, the men, too, for all their
blase front, their filters at the
most poignant bits and their sar-
donic gruntS at moments when
they should have been. solemnly
examining their own souls. They
gave themselves away when they
lost control and applauded whole
heartedly when the hero risked
death by kissing the heroine right
in the Mortified face of her ardent
but by no means helpless, hus-
band.
The story is a most complete
combination of adventure, intrigue
against a young wIre's loyalty to
her smuggler husband, and the
husbands craft in keeping her
love and loyalty, with a major
theme Of whimsical and heart
breaking romance (the heartthrob
of the audience being intensi-
fled no little bit by the orchestral
selections).'
Barbara LAMAR is so much a
woman and so unbearably beau
tiful as the young wife that the
men are safer at home, though 1t
would be pity to stay there.
William MOng gives an excellent
characterization as the Smuggler,
who is INSCRIPTIONS and old, yet
so attractive withal that his wife's
faithfulness iS readily understand
able. Edith Roberts, as the CO.
heorine, is ravishingly pretty and
less womanly.
Perhaps best Of all is Ramon
Navarro, the appealing young sol
der on the threshold of man.
hood-ah, there's a boy to stir
the heart Of you whether you be
a romantic young girl, an ador-
ing mother or just mere man
who hasn't forgotten the ex-
quisite tortures of love. Not since
the prisoner of Zenda," has he
been so inexpressibly delightful.
Even his hair is so natural and
unslicked that the women feel an
irresistible impulse to stretch
forth their hands to rumple it.
And so you smile and thrill
and sometimes almost break into
wild sobs-on through to a most
satisfactory close, sit daZed for q
moment as the lights come on and
then hurriedly and surrepitiously
repair your ravaged features.
The management has wisely
omitted the usual comedy, which
would have been almost a sacri-
ligeous intrusion upon the up
lifted mood Of the audience.

SUPERPOWER ERA
PICTURED BY PINCHOT
Sees Start of New Economic Rev
olution in Present
Prospects.

By the Associated Press.
ATLANTIC CITY, \. J., May 21.-
Visions of an era of giant electric
power and radio super power were
pictured for the members of the Ma
tional Electrical Association in con-
yention here today by Gov. Pinchot of
Pennsylvania and David Sarnoff.
vice president of the Radio Corpora
tion of America.
Gov. Pinchot hailed the develop
ment of super power as the Begin
ming of an economic revolution COM
parable to the Industrial revolution
which followed the introduction of
steam power into industry, and the
subsequent development of railroad
transportation.
Mr.. Sarnoff told Of country linked
from coast TO coast by interlocking
broadcaSting stations of high power
from which smaller stations would
PICK up programs to be relayed to
listeners in every town and hamlet
He declared against charging for the
privilege of receiving radio programs,
saying the cost of broadcasting
should be charged against the cost
of doing business.
THE age of electricity may bring
about the decentralization of indust ry
and the restoration of country life.
and strengthen the small communities
and family" dc clared Gov. Pinchot.
In this fact lies the possibility of
new freedom and enrichment of in
dividual life. No such profound
change in economic life is possible
without profound changes in the law
and government. 1t is the part of
sta craftsmanship by foresight to make
these changes easy instead of OBJ
structing them by blind conserva-
tiSm."
Muscle Shoals is the key to the
industrial development of the south
eastern coastal plain, declared Gov.
Pinchot. who took the opportunity to
speak out against Henry Ford's offer
for the Muscle Shoals development
rights.
ITO permit Henry Ford or any
other man or set of men to use the
power of Muscle Shoals mainly to
build a single Industrial city would
amount to industrial and agricultural
suicide for the SOUTH" he declared.

Economy
By JOHN ". LAIRD

ECONOMY is necessary to prosperity.
Where there is no ECONOMY the people
perish.
There are false, as we'll as true standards
of ECONOMY The man who spends his
money for that which is not bread, and the
man who does not spend his money for that
which is bread, is in pathological condl
ton and should be examined by compe-
tent physician.
ECONOMY is not so much the practice
of self-denial as it is the cultivation of the
fine art of knowing how to get whatever is
necessary for ones health, happiness and
prosperity with the financial means at his
disposal.
ECONOMY demands the employment
of other peoples brains and skill for the
purpose of securing the necessities of
health, happiness and prosperity. 1t is
ECONOMY to get other people to do for
YOU what YOU are not able to do for Yourself
Stewards Folly or the purchase of
Alaska by the United States for S7,2OOOO0,
was an excellent piece of ECONOMY. The
country could never pay Secretary Seward
for the service he rendered. The manage
ment of the Yanks practlced ECONOMY
when, according to the New York Times, it
signed contract with Babe Ruth in 1923
at salary of S4,33333 per month"; The
Bethlehem Steel Corporation practiced
ECONOMY when, according to statement
by MIR. Chas. NJ Schwab in a book recently
published by him, it paid It's president. Mr.
Eugene Grace 81 100000 in 1915 The mo-
ton picture industry practiced ECONOMY
when it secured the services of Will Hayes
at a salary of Sl5OOOO per year. According
to the Dry Goods Economist, Mr. Hayes has
saved the industry Sl50O,0OO in arbitra-
tions alone.
The fact that the Paais Royal has gath
cred together staff of executives whose
ability to buy and sell desirable merchan-
disc in such quantities that its patrons can
practice the wisest ECONOMY is one rea-
son for the notable progress of the store
There are those who believe that greater
values can be secured in merchandise TODAY
than at any other time since 1914. At con-
vention of the Southern Manufacturers As
sociation, in AsheviIle, North Carolina, last
week, the consensus of opinion was that
prices are not likely to be any lower
.
The public therefore will be wise in tax
ing advantage of present unusual values by
purchasing it's merchandise NOW.
