The third bolt came down Chin

"1COde Of the West"

Zane Grey unquestionably is
productive Of some Of the poorest
so-caTled literature Of any man
now writing in this country or
abroad. For that very good and
sufficient Eeason each and every
one Of his published works has
sold into unGounted copies and
the market is so avid that it is
all friend Grey can do to lash
his trusty Underwood or perhaps
his Remington or Corona up to
the required pace.
For the reasons aforementioned,
any Zane Grey novel moveized
is a signal for the Columbia
people to dust off the S. r. o.
sign and give Number One
cautionary ring.
The present Grey opus Us, with
striking originality, called Code

mental respect any different or
any better than the usual run of
matter implied by the title.

nounced that it would again be

ed labor. All differences that
existed between the brewery
union and the company have
been adjusted.
Is Remarkable Victory.
In view Of the fact that the
Schlitz brewery is one of the
largest in the world, the settle
ment is considered a remarkable
victory for organized labor. The
negotiations have been on for
several days between the new
general manager Of the brewery,
p. K. Kind, International Secre-
tary John RAIDER, and Charles
Nickolaus. business representa-,
tive of the local union Of the
brewery workers.
";rhere are now five Of the
seven Milwaukee breweries oper-
ating under strictly union con-
ditions," said RAIDER, referring
to the settlement obtained with
the Schlitz people.
"These are the Blatz, Miller,
Cream City, Independent and
SchlitZ. The Pabst and Gettle-
mann are still holding out, but
II is only a matter of time,
when these concerns will have
to make their peace with organ.

Waukesha Co., which has been
on an open shop basis since

do business in this manner.
we want to take this op-
portunity- to thank organized
labor for its splendid moral
support. which they have given
US during our fight against the
open shop" said Nickolaus.
Continued support of this
kind viii surely bring results,
and 1t should be borne in mind
that the products of the Pabst,

esHeart of q Siren"

1.-THE Heart OF a Siren" Bar
bara La Marr! The Metropolitan
Theater! This is combination
conducive to forgetting outside
heat and reveling for an hour or
so In the love-cavorting OF beau
tifuI woman For truly. Barbara
La Marr is beautiful, and 'The
Heart of a Siren" is q typical
La Marr production, its beautiful
settings and splendid acting sat
urated with the passion which
the title suggests.
The siren is loved by two men,
one Spaniard; the other an
American. But wait! 1t is the
siren loves, and wins, and re-
then only after she has been
saved from a dose of self-admin-
istered poison by her maid. A
sort OF a boomerang affair with
all the principles hurlfng the lit
tie javelins at each other and IL
nally getting hit in the head, or
heart, with their own weapons.
Not such a deep, dark, gripping
story, but offering Miss La Marr
a big chance to wear her clothes
to perfection. Her acting Is mag
nificently enhanced by Conway
Tearle as the Englishman, Harry
Morey, and Clifton Webb.
Not least on the program are
the subsidiary offerings, always
upA to the expectations Of the
Metropolitan patrons. Won Supe's
"Pique Dame" familiar yet pleas
ing, serves as the overture under
the direction of Daniel Breeskin.
And Al st. John has his inning
again in the comedy, Curses,
patterned after the weekly thrill
er, with the thrill always to be
continued next week. AS the
title implies the picture is full of
the hissing-curses of two villains
who are trying, by every foul
means known to villainiSm, to
do away with the beautiful
heroine and the gallant hero. A
nice little comedy demanding no
extra vitality to laugh at its sit
uations. The Pathe cameraman
has done his share towards an
abundant program, and carries
us from Annapolis to France and
back to Los Angeles and New
York without the slightest effort
of travel which after all may be
much preferable to near singetng
from the flame Of a sirens heart.
