 Heading the list of popular players. who bring the famous story to the silver sheet, is Tom Moore in the role of Jimmy Donovan, the leader of the Car Barn bang on New Works lower East side.

PIONEER TRAILS AT
 LYCEUM THURSDAY
"The White Sin" MOnday--D
 Feature Sunday Night

Tomorrow night starts off another series of high grade pictures at the Lyceum, where the coming week con- cludes with a three days showing of "Pioneer Trails" a wonder picture of the early days Of the west. or prairie schooncrs, Indian attacks and massa- cres, and all the glamor and romance of those early days. Sundays double feature bill is headed by "F'lames ot Passion,' a tale of the northwest. and '"The Rip Tide" society drama with strong plot. Other pictures i'm clude the usual comedies and news reels. Monday starts a three days showing of Madge Bellamy in The White Sin." William Fox special.
 In addition to "The White Sin" and the second episode of the II. c. Wit wer serial "The Telephone Girl" the first half week program includes a bang-up good vaudeville bill. featur- ing Tommy Levine, he of the old tab show fame, with one of the best com edy quartets on the road.
 "Pioneer Trails" which starts on Thursday. is regarded, as one of the best pictures of the west ever filmed. It closely rivals "The Covered Wa gon," it is said, and presents a thrill ing tale that also has plenty of heart interest. The settings arc especially wonderful since they are genuine scenes of the great west and in many of the exciting episodes of holdups, Indian massacres, etc, the picture was actually filmed on the historical sites of the original events.
 A thumb nail sketch Of the story told in this film, follows:
 The lure of gold draws Robert Dale, his wife and their SOD. over tho prairie. The party is attacked by Indians and all arc killed save Jack. who is only four and cannot rcmem- Der his last name. He IS adopted by q Mrs. Salter, n member of another party. and reared as her own child.

Ralph Spence, who wrote the side splitting sub titles for "A Connecticut Yankee in the Court of King Arthur, contributed tie title lines in this conn edy. A negro band of bootleggers and detective. who, at home, is a sorely henpicked man, contribute gen erously to the mirth.
 The taking over of the Community playhouse in Meriden by S. z. Poli probably means that Meriden will be like New Britain, a city without a theater playing road companies.
 Marty Dupree and her popular musical comedy company will remain at the Palace theater for another week offering two new shows. This company has proven very popular at the Palace because of the excellent array of talent shown.

 markable women of the present day, is about to start new vaudeville tour of the United States and the manage ment at the Capitol has secured an , advance booking of her act. She wifi be accompanied by her lifelong friend and teacher, Anne Sullivan Macy.
 Miss Kelar hardly needs any intro duction to anybody for she has been written up so many times m the press,
 the American magazine and other leading periodicals that she has be- come almost a national figure. Born deaf. dumb and blind, Miss kellar has demonstrated what a person can do., She has shown the power of mind over matter and proved that there is no handicap that cannot be overcome. Though blind,
 she has fought herself to sec by the touch system, and she can carry on conversation in the deaf and dumb language. And what is more remark able, after attaining her maturity she learned to use her vocal chords and to talk.
 Miss kellar is considered Il fairly wealthy woman, and her writings and influence on others has gone far to- ward making her famous and also in
 aiding others afflicted.

The importance OF a
Fright Labor 7 Policy

In his new book 1.-THE Organization of Modern
Business, w. r. Basset says
Zone hears good deal about the iron heel Of
capitaistic despotism squeezing blood profit out of
the poor, dOWn-trOdden worker But nave yet 10
discover a company that became really prosperous
when operated on the lemon squeezer principle.
The Standard Oil Company Qndiana) long since
appreciated the essential value of putting the
"right" labor policy into. practice. And such
policy is important to the community as 1t is 10
the Company.
The only way to achieve fright" labor policy
is to consider in its broad aspect as affecting the
whole social fabric. Consumers as well as employ
ers and employees profit by industrial peace. The
public as a whole suffers when an industry does
not afford economic protection to its workers and
their families
The Directors of the Standard Oil Company Qnd-
lanai in every policy they institute, consider all
parties involved consumers stockholders, work
ers and the public as whole.
The keystone of this Company policy is that all
must be benefited by its existence an industrial
organization.
One of the latest plans by which the Standard
Oil Company Qndiana) has recognized the partner
ship of its workers, is to establish death benefit
plan for the dependents of its employees. It must
be clearly recognized that this policy is not bene
fit solely to the employees It benefits, indirectly,
every one in the community because 1t is forward
looking sound, economic measure.
A sage summary of the service rendered by this
measure is given by the Lapeer, Michigan, Clarion
"The Standard Oil Company Qndana) has insured
the lives of its 25,OOO employees. The insurance
costs the employees nothing The Company pays
the premiums.
"Here we have splendid example of the new
spirit which is pervading industry, and which per
sisted in must eventually level the barriers that
often lie between employer and employee
There may have been time when corporations
exploited their employees and yielded to them in bet
ter wages and working conditions only as they were
forced to do So Possibly number of this type of
corporation survives but they are passing Mutual
distrust and antagonism is giving way to mutual
friendliness and cooperation. If social revolution
ever threatened this country, the menace fading
The ground is too barren
"This single generous act of the Standard Oil
Company will do more to sweeten the relations he
tween capital and labor than all the propaganda
in the world"
