these Summer days, preparations are
going forward in New York to con-
tinue Columbia burlesque" there
next season, with the. opening date
Indefinitely scheduled for late next
month.
It has been the custom to start the
Columbia wheel" turning for its reg
ular season either the third or fourth
week in August, but President Sam
a. Scribner of the Columbia Amuse-
ment Company, controlling the local
home of Columbia burlesque, has not
vet determined with eXactness when
the curtain will rise on shows of girls,
melody, dancing and ornate trappings.
Despite the many changes in other
forms of stage entertainment, which
has resulted in an increasing dearth
Of attractions, Columbia burlesque
has been maintained for nearly
quarter century, under the guidance
of this same Sam Scribner, on the
same basic plan. True, there have
been changes in detail to meet shifts
in public taste, but to all intents and
purposes, following a gradual better

Coming Attractions
NATIONAL-"The Goose Hal
High"

That merry comedy of youth and
family loyalty, THE Goose Hangs
High" with New York record of
200 performances. will be offered by
the National Theater Players next
week.
The play was written by Lewis
Beach, remembered for his success
THE Square Peg" So completely
blues.proof did this comedy appear to
be in manuscript that the Dramatists'
Theater decided to produce 1t and did
so. When 1t Is known that the ORA
matists' Theater is made up of such
playwrights as Owen Davis, James
Forbes, Cosmo Hamilton, William An
thony Mcclure, Arthur Richman and
Edward Childs Carpenter, some ink
ling of the merit of the piece Is
gained.
The comedy is optimistic. 1t Is not
patterned on the trite chassis which
has marked many of the so-called
family comedies Indeed, IL is
distinct departure from the accepted
plot of the child-and- parent theme,
revealing as it does an outstanding
instinct for loyalty and but a slight
tendency to. waywardness in the
makeup of the new generation. The
youngsters who were spanked so val
iantly in Nice People" I'VE Mod
erns" and Scandal" are viewed from
totally distinctive angle in Mr.
Beach'S play.

"ERANKLY, there will be no great
er pictures until the public Is
willing to forget just motion picture
titles, motion picture stars, elabora-
ton and spectacle" states FRANK
LLOYD, First National director.
The greater picture, like the truly
great anything, must be so recog-
nized because of its general merit
alone. Mere money cannot make the
greater picture Neither can a mere
star nor a group of stars, a mere
author nor q mere director The
greater movie must be harmonious
composite of all these elements.
In producing pictures we have
spent a million dollars to elaborate
on a fair story; we have put 10 So
called internationally famous stars in
q fair story; we have given direction
the most intense study and appHca-
ton and we have tried to picturize
faithfully what seemed exceptional
stories. yet it does not seem to me
that more than half d dozen photo
plays have ever been made which will
live, either on the screen or in the
public mind, so years from now. Yet
we have symphonies of music, paint
ings. sculpture and literary classics
which have lived centuries.

HERE'S a story about youth with
a. smile-a boy who smiled when
black disaster confronted him; chap
who, with every odd against him.
smiled his way back to good fortune
and happiness.
+, Hugh Allen, anxious for a screen
career, gave up every other work and
started to climb the picture ladder.
His opportunity came when, with but
six months in pictures, he was cast
by Mary Pickford as her leading man.
Hugh was joy personitied. His friends
slapped him on the back and wished
him luck. He was the envy of his
tieighborhood. The fair girls who
lived in his block stood for hours at
their windows awaiting a glance of
Mary's leading man.
Then old man Fate took a hand.
Hugh, thought Fate. was getting too
much of the goodly things in the
world. Fate got mad. Fate slapped.
and when Fate slaps he slaps hard

home. Hugh had been tinkering with

NOT ENOUGH SOUP

Even in our present age when
things are running all in a hustle
and hurry and everyone seems to
have enough to do minding his own
business, we find too many fingers
crowded into the bowl of administra-
tive soup. Luckily the soup turns out
to be pretty darned hot to some of
the fingers and a burn results.
Such was the case one night last
week when the chief executive author
lied Officer Curt Berry to station
himself in the Macy Department
store to await a burglar Then act
ing upon his own initiative he stations
Officer Tom Wilson in the court
house yard on the same job.
Well, no burglar wanted to bur-
glarize, apparently and about 200 a..
m. the officer in the Macy store
strolls out in the open. Lucky for
him the "dick" stationed in the court
house yard recognized him or he
would probably be in the guise of an
angel right now.
Lucky too, for the Mayor, that
Officer Berry was recognized and not
bagged for burglar. Experience is
a dear teacher and the political soup
bow offers lots of it-and with the
experience it also carries supply of
heat for fingers that don't know
where tl.ey belong.-Veritas.

SO disgusting at times that we. are
compelled to inquire-which is the
worst to have around-the high price
of rubber or the chronic songbird.
There are some, we know, who would
rather pay the price asked and then
shut up about it.
To take this attitude not only re-
lieves our neighbors of lot OF bore
some "cacklers." More, it makes
good sports out of US, even though
we are compelled to associate with. a
,ot of poor ones and moreover, oe
bossed by them.
To make it light-America has alb
solute monopoly on various world
markets. To mention a few we
might say oil, finance or even take
the $4,000 900 in German bonds dis
tributed among American capitalists
a year ago. Did Germany realize a
fair margin on her legitimate dlstrl-
button? She did not! Again, does
not England, France, Germany and
other countries help pay for the in
creases in American oil? Do they not
pav for financial loans offered from
Wall Street and Washington They
do, and still We howl when England
boosts the price of rubber on US.
Truly, we aren't licked over it-but
why let England look upon US and
laugh and make of us a satlrlcal tar
get. Let's produce our own rubber.
Who knows but that ours will be that
monopoly in time to come.

Trainmen, and Also
Conductors, to Ask
Wage Raise in Nov

CLEVELAND. o., June 10. - Chair
mems associations of the Brotherhood
Of Railroad Trainmen and the Order
of Railway Conductors will hold point
divisional meetings in November to
consider the proposition of seeking a
wage increase from approximately
two hundred railroads, w. G.. Lee,
president Of the trainmen, announced
yesterday.
The amount of the increase to be
asked was not announced but Lee said
the wage reduction to railroad men
in 1921 amounted to about IL per cent,
approximately 81 cents day. that an
increase last year amounted to approx.
imately per cent and that the re-
quest for an increase would probably
at least be enough to make up the
1921 reduction.
