How viii They Learn To Work?

The Dearborn Independent is OPP
posed to everything that savors of
exploitation of child labor. 1t has
no associations with any interest
that uses child labor or wishes to
use it. Any system which renders il
necessary for mere children to work
is a wrong system on that showing
alone; no other defect is needed to
condemn it. But to hold, on the
other hand, that teaching a child to
work is cruelty, and preventing him
by law from working until he is IS
is national duty. is to go to the op-
posite extreme.
There are three matters involved
here: First, the exploitation of the
labor of children. Second, the meth
cd of doing that. Third, the means
of teaching children industrious
habits.

HAS
GREAT FILMS
ON WAY

So successful has been the start
OF the Greater Movie Season that
more than 5000 exhibitors in the
country have united in a determi-
nation to give the public the best
film entertainment by booking
Paramount Pictures exclusively in
connection with Paramount Week,
September to IS. This fact
has just been disclosed by the
Famous Players-Lasky Corporation.
And, during the coming year it
holds yet greater promise to the
film fans of the country. For in
the intervening months Paramount
has signed such notables as the
director, D. w. Griffith: and the
stellar comedians, Harold Lloyd
and Douglas MacLean, both of
whom will release their pictures
through the Famous Players
Lasky Corporation.
1t will have, moreover. better
and bigger Gloria Swanson films.
Among them THE Coast Of Folly
and Stage Struck" Thomas
Man Who Found. Himself" and a
picture now being made in Ire
land. The Vanishing American"
and 1.-THE Pony Express" will be
among the most elaborate of the
coming season, the latter a James

kin de luxe and idol of every
flapper in the land, essays three
different roles in The Coast of
Folly" which is the Columbia's
bit toward Greater Movie
Season. One of them is the
Countess de Tauro, which freely
translated, means the Countess
of Bull-and that's a pretty good
description Of the picture.
Gloria appears first as Nadine
Gathaway, young wife of an old
and unloved millionaire, whom
she deserts for a sheik who is
last seen chugging away with
her in a flivver of the vintage
of 1900. Next she appears as
Joyce Gathaway, flapper daugh-
ter deserted by the runaway wife
in her cradle. The daughter has
inherited a trifle of $30, 900 900

smirches her name.
This last is a pretty big order
for these days. and so 1t proves
for young Joyce. She gets en-
tangled-quite innocently, at first.
with one Larry Fay, a perfectly
nice young man, but for one
thing. He is married. His wife
sues him, and names Joyce. And
the tough part of it is that he
and Joyce really have come to
love each other.
Then enters Gloria again, this
time as the Countess de Taure.

And that's that.
The plot is farfetched and i'm.
possible. Miss Swanson's acting
