SOME OF THE NEWS OF THE
WEEK
Garvey Sentenced for Fraud; Senator
Deneen's New Guillotine; The
Press Convention
By Charles Stewart, Jr

Men aud women alike should be
fully convinced that the government
of the United States intends to punish
All violators Of the use OF the mails
for the purpose OF fraud. Thousands
Of the Negro people Of the United
States and other countries contributed
millions Of dollars to Marcus Garvey
and his cohorts believing that they
were to establish a government in At
RIGA for the higher development of the
native born and those from other
countries whose educational advan-
tages had been developed to higher
sphere that their services would get
out OF the soil its richness that would
ultimately establish colony Of untold
wealth, and create trading point with
the markets Of the earth that use said
products in the manufacture of mer-
chandise OF various commodities.
The governments act in enforcing
the fve-year Imprisonment sentence
upon Marcus Garvey should be a les
son to others who have in mind the
object OF defrauding their fellowmen.
The sensation Of the hour in poll
ties has placed a dark lantern slowly
smouldering somewhere with some
body connected with the United States
Marshal's office The unprecedented
secret move on the part OF United
States Senators Mckinley and McCor-
mick in having Marshal Robert R.
Levy to resign his position and then
having appointed Palmer Anderson.
they say, without the consent Of Sena-
tor-elect Charles S. Deneen, it will be
4 wise thing for Senator Mckinley to
indelbiy stamp in two places, one in
the book Of records Of happenings Of
this condition and the other in the
eminent recesses of his soul, for he
win find that after Marth 4th Senator
Charles S. Deneen will have a new
pair OF gum shoes and a new guillo-
tine that will with one swipe unjoint

BROKEN LAWS
 PALACE 4 DAYS
Mrs. Wallace Reid'S Vehicle at
 Popular Theater

Broken Laws" Mrs. Wallace Reid's stirring drama of mother love and the law, will be at the Palace four days beginning Sunday night.
 In her latest vehicle Mrs. Reid has one of those "once in a life time" pictures. For "Broken Laws" is not only an intense, interesting and convincing drama, but it has Q needed message and it gets over that message without becoming preachy nor interfering with the thread of the story.
 Such films arc few and far be- tween but Mrs. Reid and her CO., workers seem to have hit on the happy medium of entertainment and education, in which neither de- tracts from the other.
 Broken Laws" fulnlls two pnr- poses. It provides wonderful evo- ming of entertainment and it can- not but make better citizens. It is the story of two ordinary, every day homes in which at least one parent disregards the law as a rou- tine thing.
 There arc children in each fam fly. They see this wholesale flouting of the constituted law and the pie ture tells the effect of this contact with lawbrcaliing on the part Of the child, and later the young man and woman.
 The story, by Adcla Rogers St. John, easily lends itself to screen purposes, It is sincere, compelling and with the background of a real plot. There is nothing reminiscent of other plays you have seen in Broken Laws" It is fresh material, good material and interesting ma tCrial.
 And the story is ably interpreted by Mrs. Reid herself, and a highly competent cast of players, evident ly chosen with great care and with due regard to the parts they were to play.
 Surrounding Mrs. Reid are such sterling players as Percy Marmont, who gives very able DO 'trayal of the serious husband of tho jazz wife next door; Ramsey Wallace

ARGENTINE JAZZ
 AT THE CAPITOL
Orchestra Is Only One Of the At-
 fractions, However

Heading the Keith vaudeville bin of five acts at the Capitol the first half of next week is Sulkin's Argcn- tine orchestra, wonderful aggre- gation of ten clever musicians and Marguerite Macy, premier danseuso, who have rounded out musical en- tnrainmCnt that is par excellent. The jazz orchestra is certainly the finest heard around these parts in many a day and they come direct from big hit in the big Broadway theaters. Mr. Sulkin, the originator of this style Of orchestra, has pret- tily staged and costumed the offer ing and it is assured that they will make a big hit with local audiences. Other acts include Jeanette and Harry Shields in Serving Terpsi- chorc a la Carte.' They are splendid versatile dancers with combina- ton of new steps; Galctti and ko- kin should be big favorites with their comedy novelty surprises. They carry and use the only danc- ing monkey in the world. "Who is he?" is the question one will ask after seeing Lang Volk. Here is a neat comedy set with song trim mings, leaves one mystiied, but thoroughly entertained after seeing this act; Norma Gray and Jean Bell offer 1925 Song Ripples," Miss Gray being the possessor of an ex- cellent voice and Miss Bell an eX- pert accompanist and concert artist.
 The amazing transformation that can be wrought in the appearance of a girl or a man by style of dress has been capitalized with telling ef- feet by Thomas II. Incc in his latest

 she was thrown much in his com

NEW YORK'S PLAYS
 OF THIS WEEK
Two Stand. Out More Prominent
 Than Others

Two new plays opend in New York this week which have occasioned more than passing comment, pro and con. Marjorie Rambeau in "The Valley of Content" was about the best that can be said of this bewildcring play, according to those who saw it. Also, in the Third Chauve Souris" the Parade of the Wooden Soldiers and "Katinka" were pleasantly reyiv- ed.
 One critic has said of "The Valley of Content"
 In play which was maudlin when it was not mawkish, put on Tuesday evening at the Apollo theatcr, Miss Marjorie Ramleau, pretty and radi- ant. provided the only charm. From simple "home- body" in the first act, to mistress of the opulent Benton castle" in the rambling parts of the place, she was the dominating note. She was likewise an actress, inter- pre ting a part. Not always has she been so much the mistress of her material.
 To be sure. the material is of no especial consequence. Not often does Broadway see a play so disorderly as "The Valley of Content" From scene in the kitchen of a village house 1t wandcrs eighteen years hence to q magnificent New York residence. and through successive scenes (of which there are six in alD, 1t covers two years more and strikes an average by turning up in Harlem. People change from honest Village folk with bright dreams to sO- phisticated New Workers with disil- Iusions, stealing wives. smearing regulations, shooting to kill (off staEe) and driving broken hearted mothers from their homes-all to no purpose whatsoever.
 As Marjorie Benton. Miss Ram hcau has a fine bag of tricks at her disposal, and she makes good use of them all.
 The Chauyc SOuris
 Lovers of the old Chauvc Souris were relieved last night by the re- }Nal of two favo,itcs, "The Parade of the Wooden Soldiers" and 'K&- 'Mka," in their old gayety and naive skill. There was one other number. every bit as successful in the same style and new 'Amour ct IIcirar- chic" where the daughter of the [, Ciment, sitting adorably on q bench in the public square, awaits Ter suitors.

 of these the most stirring was the "Stenka Razin," legend Of the Noga, with which the program be- gan. The river bandit has captured a Persian princess of infinite beauty and abducted her on his barge.

HolO Artificial Pearls
Differ From, Real Ones

Anyone can test pearl for himself.
Many artificial pearls are hollow glass
beads. with sort Of fshscale lining,
a product Of small Mediterranean
fish. These can be detected by rubbing
the pearl gently over the edge of your
lower teeth.
II it is a glass pearl 1t will feel per.
fectly smooth. If it IL a real pearl It
will be slightly rough and grating.
A Japanese cultured pearl cannot be
detected in this way, for its outer
structure Is exactly like that Of a real
pearl. 1t is a pearl formed by an
oyster. about a core Of mother-of-pearl
that has been slipped in the shell. One
way Of distinguishing japanese cul-
tured pearls from real ones Is examin.
Ing them under kaleidoscope. BY
means Of this machine one can look
through the pearl and distinguish the
core.-Popular Science Monthly.
