LOOKING OVER NEW
EVENTS AT PALACE

The question of putting novelty
into a program of a jazz orchestra
is difficult one. That I know. l
bear that in mind when telling you
of such orchestras. Gordon Kibbler
has a good straight playing or
chestra, but he makes a mistake in
letting his men attempt to be in
dfvidual and collective comedians.
One impression number about
''Margie" is enough and two along
the same line is far and away too
much. Kibbler knows how to de-
velop melody. Better handling of
lights and a more intimate touch
to his own work would help Kfbbler's
Offering He has a good band, but
he needs showmanship. And that
he can get II he will just study and
take a few kindly suggestions.
Platov and Natlie are dancers who
seek novelty in a dance program.
The man admits he can not sing,
but he attempts it as a comedy num-
Der. They are at their best in
burlesque upon dancing couples of
the stage.
Chuck Haas applies his own per
eonality to the viii Rogers idea Of
entertainment. Kilxu and JOSH are
Jap entertainers who do the con-
ventional act of this nature in a sort
OF different way.
Winchester and Ross offer noisy
alleged comedy in a noisy way. The
movie is Woman Power with
Ralph Graves.

Birthday of FascIsm Finds

BY M. e. Tracy

Four years of Fascism finds Mus

ever. Italy has been ereborn," he
shouts, in celebration of the achieve

II has.
Mussolini is one Of the big facts
thus far emerged from the war.
Soviet Russia is another. At pres

leader of men to outrank the italian
duce and no political innovation so
startling as that of Bolshevism-

but that is what shows up most
distinctly against the crimson back
ground.
So far as immediate results were
concerned, civilization made a bad
guess as to what 1t was fighting
about, and eight years after the last
shot was fred it is unable 10 do
much better.
Fifty years hence our children
may understand the import OF Rus
sia's revolution, and whether Mus
solini is a monster. or e genius, but
our own eyes are too blind with
prejudice and disappointment for us
to pass ON either question with in
telngence.
Mussolini has certainly wrought a
big change In Italy. He found a ma

with Nightmares, and reused It into

His arbitrary. despotic rule vio-
lates every standard we Americans
have been taught to respect. but one
may well doubt whether American
standards could have been applied in
Italy.
Mussolini is @ much feared and
hated man. The power by which he
holds sway is not that Of popularity
as we understand it, but is derived
from a highly organized minority.
He looks upon himself as a man of
destiny and believes his way is right.
According to. our ideas the situar
ton is much like that of Diaz in
Mexico. with prosperity guaranteed
by one mans domination for given
length of time. but with terrific
upheaval as the inevitable result.

Too Little Restraint

It is surprising what risks peo-
pie will take to satisfy their impulses
and what things they VIII DO.
Crossed In something that would
seem trivial under ordinary circum-
stances, they leaped from high
windows, or threw themselves in
front Of a train. Thwarted in some
pet notion, and they fly at each other
with the conscienceless passion of
wild beasts.
Murder, suicide and even lesser
tragedies are mainly due to uncon-
trolled emotionalism.
The present crime wave can be
traced to a multiplicity Of causes,
but not the least important among
them is lack of self-discipline and
this. in turn, can be traced to lack
Of discipline for children.
You don't have to be a brute to
make children orderly, courteous
and well behaved, and you won't IN
herft their dislike either, but we
have preached the idea of freedom
from restraint until teachers. par
ents and everyone else responsible
for the conduct of children are acl
tually afraid to do what they know
Is right and best.
Realizing the impracticality of
such an idea, but unwilling to admit
that our noisy arguments in it's be-
half are wrong, we try to remedy
the situation by a lot of nonsensical
laws.
The normal, well regulated home
and school have given place to the
abnormal, superior regulated city and
State and our social machine is
throwing off multitude Of I'M
trained, UNACCEPTABLE, don't-care-a-
whoop emotional youngsters that
our political, machine can't hope,
and never was intended to make
over.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-Due largely
to an increase Of 54,994,00O in bills
rediscounted, occasioned by the Oc-
tober settlements, the reserve ratio
Of the entire Federal reserve system
showed a falling off to 1926 per cent,
against 1871 per cent a week ago.
However, the comparison with the
same time last year was more favor
able, the figure at that time having
been 1915 per cent. Although redis-
counts expanded S8.7S8,000 at this
center, the reserve ratio Of the New
York bank flrmed up to 1871, COM
pared with 1915 per cent a week ago
and 1876 per cent year ago.
This strengthening and the con-
tinuation of the local bank rate at 4
per cent was made the basis for a
drive against an over-eXtended short
interest in the early dealings on the
stock market today.

ground on the current movement at
