Pola Negri's performance in the
role of the midinette who became

ranked among the best on the screen.

picture at Loew'S Palace this week.
While the result is a fairly entertain
ing romantic comedy, admirers of the
Polish star Will believe the scenario
story is not Il fitting vehicle for
Pola's histrionic talent.
The photoplay is supposed to re-
peat a chapter in the life of the great
Catherine II of Russia, in a modern
setting. Catherine, according to his
tory, was a woman of brilliant at
tainments. an able administrator of
the state, albeit given at times to
human errancy. Pola's modern Cath

the mentality. Pola's Catherine let's

Keith 's-Nelson Keys

Nelson Keys, the English come
dian for whose services Flo Zleg-
field and Andre Chariot had battle,
is the headliner at keith's this week.
Keys has a pleasing personality ana
introduces new material to vaude-
VILE, which makes him an acceptable
entertainer. He has been quick to
catch on to the American ways, and
eliminates everything that carries the
cockney trade mark. He has voice
that carries his songs over with Ell
feet; dances cleverly, and his facial
expressions in his DEMONSTRATIONS
make his comedy especially pleasing.
Keys presents six different numbers,
all of which are good, his Bach
ing out bit above the others.
Irene Russell, late of the Chariot
Revue assists Mr.. Keys in his dances
and songs. She is striking in figure and
dances and sings we'll. A half dozen
curtain calls rewarded the act.
In competition with Mr.. Keys are
Gordon Dooley and Martha Morton,
and it is d toss-up as to which reg
istered the greater success. Dooley
and Morton are to the American
stage what Keys Is to the English,
and their success last night was of a
pronounced character. Martha has
improved in her work and practical
" shares honors with the little come
dian. This clever pair have a style
AL their own and stand out with the
leading entertainers of the country
,fhe emphatic way the audience wei

THE Sainted Devil"
It's a herman picture, full of fights,

the story of a triumphant love, which
blazed its fiery way to q happy end

UNEMPLOYED
Politicians Blame Situation
on Everything From Dawes
Plan to Auto Taxes
BY DAVID MI. CHURCH.
international News Service.

LONDON, Oct. 10.-Unemploy-
ment Is again increasing in England
by leaps and bounds.
Though an increase In unemploy-
ment Is generally expected during
the early autumn months, the in
crease this year is so rapid that It
has occasioned considerable sur
prise and not a little worry. Politi.
cal circles, opposed to the Govern
ment, have made tine most OF this
increase, and it has been made the
basis Of pessimistic predictions on
the future Of British trade. Politic-
ians blame the Increased unemploy-
ment on everything from the Dawes
plan to the abolition Of the tariff
upon automobiles,
During the last ten weeks ap-
proximately 10000 people have
been added to the ranks OF the I'M
employed.
On january /, 1924, there were
/ ,289,O0O registered unemployed in
Great Britain and northern Ireland.
This figure began to decrease dur
ing January and steadily declined
until it reached / ,O52, 900 at the end
or July. IN August the number Of
the unemployed began to ascend,
and BY the end Of the month it had
reached LISP 900 and still steadily
increases.
Juvenile unemployment accounts
for nearly q fourth Of the increased
number Of voorhees,.
During August there were $4,000
male adults added to the list Of UNI
employed. OF these there were
IS, 600 from the coal, iron and steel
trades, 1000 from the engineering
industry and 5000 from the ship
building trade. Possibly half Of
this increase may be attributed to
slackening trade activity and the
other half may be attributed to
seasonal causes.
Economists have been wrangling
over Britain's unemployment prob
lem since the days Of the armistice,
and each new decrease or increase
in the number Of unemployed finds
each school pointing with pride"
and claiming vindication Of its
theories. The sanest and soundest,
however, maintain that Britatn's
unemployment problem Ii largely q
problem Of over population.

Chang's latest adroit diplomatic

with the diplomatic corps In reply
to their note demanding that he
Manchurian forces under Chang
refrain from bombing Picking from
the air. The foreign powers are
interested, It Is explained not be
cause they favor WI to win over

to foreign lives and property that
would surely result from poorly
aimed Chinese bombs dropped from
the clouds.
The legations and principal
foreign firms in. Peking are chiefly
located in the Legation Quarter,
which Is simply e. reserved section
Of the city proper, and any bombing
that is done Is almost certain to
result In damage and possibly
death to the seventeen foreign ma
tionaIities resident there. And the
Presidential Palace, which Chang
has announced WIN be his particu-
lar target, despite the fact that he
is related through marriage to the
figure-head President Tsao Kun,
is only one-fourth Of mile from
the Legation Quarter. It Is pointed
out that expert bomberB during the
World War often missed their.
targets farther than that short
distance.
No official statements on the
Chinese situation are forthcoming
at the State Department but IS
said, on. good authority, that the
United Safes has no intention Of
withdrawing from its policy Of
benevolent neutrality in China's
civil wars unless damage Is actually
done Americans or American in

action would necessarily be taken.
