MARY SUCCEEDS ON MAIN STREET

A series OF artices treating Of the
opportunities in small towns for the
girl who works; playing up the nd.
vantnages Of not going to the city.
So much has been written against
Main Street and in favor of Broadway
as places Of opportunity for the girl
VINO wishes to enter upon carear or
earn living, that it is high time
that some one with talent and exper-
fence should set forth the real facts
drawn from actual human examples.
The matter is covered in a series OF
articles now appearing in this paper,
and, strange to say, it is a Broadway
girl who takes up the cudgel in favor
of Main Street.
The author of this useful and ex-
tremely interesting series is on
Broadway because she finds it van
tage point from which to wage her
campaign in the interests of Main
Street girls. She came from a small
town and made good in newspaper
work before going to a city. She is
managing editor of the Women's
News Service of New York City, an
organization devoted to gathering
and distributing news about women.
She also directs the National Women
Industry department of the Women'a
Christian Temperance Union. She or
ganized and directed publicity for
women in the United States Employ
ment Bureau.
The stories make splendid case for
Main Street and should prove an in
spiration to many thousands Of wom-
en-. Do not fail TO read them.

SUBSCRIPTION SUIT WON
BY PAPER EDITOR

Before Justice Rice last Monday
the attached and garnishment suit of
the Glenwood Post against William
Shepherd Of New Castle, for s22 for
IL years subscription to the paper
was decided by Justice Rice in favor
of the plaintiff, the attachment and
rarnishment being sustained.
Shepherd made the old threadbare
plea that he only ordered the paper
for one year and that he didn't want
it longer than that, but he failed to
explain why, If that were the case.
he didn't come in like an honest man
and order his subscription discon-
tinued, and pay for it up to the date
of such discontinuance.
The law is very plain along this
line, and the court held that the de-
fendent was obligated for the full
arount claimed and sustained the
Observation-Disclosures Post.

ARSENIC INDUSTRY
Rapid Development Of States De.
p0sits Anticipated

With one of the most important
arsenic refining plants in the country
located here, preparations for rapid
development of arsenic deposits in
Gunnison county are likely, it is indi-
Gated in an announcement by the
federal geological survey.
The report showed the arsenic out
put in this country has jumped from
100000 pounds in 1918 to $4,000, 900
pounds last year. Indications are
production will be materially greater
this year.
The increase is due largely to rap
idly increasing demands for arsenic
in a form suitable for combating
the boil weevil.-Denver Express.

ACTION,
LAUGHS IN
FOLLES

Mr.. Gallagher and Mr.. Shean
entertained in their accustomed
fashion in the fourth edition Of
the Greenwich Village Follies,
which opened at Polls Theater
last night. Despite the accuStom-
ed hearty reception they received,
there were those who could not
repress the feeling that the
Gallagher-Shean material is like
wise becoming slightly too accus-
toned. For variety and fresh
ness several other acts of the big
revue threw the Mister combina.
ton into eclipse.
The G.. v. Follies this time
gives just what you expect If
you have read the earlier works.
There are trick curtains which
give the spectators on the paying
side Of the footlights quick
sight seeing tour Of the subdivi-
sion around jefferson street Jail;
there are pretty girls who make
you think it's forenoon at Miami
Beach most Of the evening; there
are several good sketches. among
them one by George S. Kaufman
in which the Kaustic Kaufman
Yields his satirical stub pen; and
there are plenty Of songs that
sound good and are hard to re-
member.
After the customary Gallagher
and Shean ditties have been sung
you are treated to G. S. ks
skit Life Among the Advertise
ments," a laugh provoking bit in
which big brother does all h.
stuff in long-sleeved underwear,
jumping from pose to pose in
the best accepted manner Of the

dollar raise" Mother is making

ing personality and charm absorb.

John Sheehan's impersonation
Of Baileff Of the Chauve Souris
is the best piece Of funny bust
ness in the whole evening. One
doesn't need to have seen the
original to enjoy Johns version.

POLA FLASHES
THROUGH THE
SHADOWS

There is ev'rything you'd think Of
From stark war and sudden
death
To a shameless. spineless shimmy
In a low Partisan dive:
It's a thrill for ev'ry minute
Plus a laugh to take your
breath
And la Negri blazes through it
Like a shadow made alive!
Ballads Of a Screen-Scanner.
Viva la France! It produces
authors who are not afraid to
plaster all their loose ideas into
a tale without reserving a few
situations for q possible sequel.
Hence, when Herbert Brenon
started production on Mon
Homme," translated into movie
title language as Shadows OF
Paris"-at Loew's Columbia this
week, If you please-he had some
solid ground to stand on; so he
planted his feet firmly, hitched
up his trousers, grabbed the mega
phone with a strangle-hold and
proceeded to mop up the gamut
Of emotions, wringing them out
on several reels of celluloid.
OF course, he had a cracking
good cast, to begin with. Pola
Negri. at the head of the list,
came through with the best of
her American efforts, her work
surprising by far any previous
attempt she has made since sign
ing a Paramount contract. But
whisper 1t, for this be treason
she still lacks some Of the old
fire and pep that made her Euro
pean successes under Lubitsch so
fascinating. She's good-no doubt
of that: but the spark of her
ability Is burning almost to an
ash. and it's going to take some
strong blowing to fan it back
again. One signs at the thought
OF what a glorious picture this
would have been had Lubitsch
directed Pola through It's mazes
in the Paris where it's scenes are
supposed to have been laid.
One Of the best characterize
tons Charles de Roche has given
us since he joined the Paramount
forces is his Fernand, the apache.
Adolphe Menjou-about whom the
glory OF Chaplin's genius will al
ways cling after "A Woman of
Paris"-suavely does a polished
bit Of deCroy. Huntley Gordon
seems too American to be cast
as the Prefo Of the Paris police.
Rose Dione. Gareth Hughes, Sam
APPEL, Vera Reynolds and Edward
Kipling are also cast.
A word about Louise Lagrange,
who has a small bit as a deni-
zen Of the Paris underworld. The
Wampus had better watch this
one-she looks as though she's
going through to stardom as quick
as any Of them. If given the
opportunity.

and a warm personality that wins
approval from both males and
females alike. Emily Smiley-the
writer recalls the days when she
had her own company and was
the idol Of Philadelphia at the old
Loew Knickerbocker Theater-
has matured considerably, and in
the first two acts she adopted q
that became her i'll. But she
dropped 1t all in act three, got
into the spirit Of the thing and
made her final exit amid approx
ing applause.
Peggy Coudray, Of course. is
there with the proverbial bells.
She slams the old apple for an
average of a thousand-and she
sure makes a cuddleSome eyeful

Oh, yes-the play! 1t started
out to be the kind Of thing whose
lines make ladies blush and men
look sidewise with an evil little
grin. But it turned out, in the
last two acts, to be quite conven-
tional. Only the ending should

way or the other. Either leave
