Years eve in New York. when every
one Is supposed to have forgotten
even his worst manners. Donald
Brian, rich young chap, gets fed
up on the society ball he is attending
and goes out into the street to see
life. He hasn't gone very far when
Orchid Murphy takes him for her
partner in the revelry of the evening.
1t ends in q raid, a black eye for
Donald and a poisoning Of young
love.
Then comes period Of training In
fine manners" Before the gay Or
child is to take her place in the 400,
it becomes quite evident she must
have met the things to do" Aunt
Agatha, Donald's choice for an in
structor for the girl. undertakes the
task while he goes to South Ameri-
ca. The transmutation period is one
of considerable interest, and when
Donald returns he finds the change
too sharp, decides he does not love
the new Orchid and decides to break
off the engagement. To make a long
story short, however he doesn't.
A better than the average Mack
Sennett comedy, the newsreel and
music complete the bill.

many of the eager throng that had
awaited its local premiere at Iloews
Palace Theater yesterday afternoon.

due regard 10 continental technique,

Possibly too much restraint in the
acting and certainly a bit Of mis-

noticeable in Mare Nostrum." The
actors and actresses respond like pup

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of
Buffalo" and "The Blue Boy"

Constance Talmadge brings mirth
and gayety to Crandall's METROPOLITAN
this week in her latest comedy. The
Duchess of Buffalo," in which she
plays opposite a new leading man,
Tullio Carminati, who steps from
obscurity into the inner circle in
habited only by stars, and. by virtue
of his finished performance, he demon
strates his ability to hold his own with
those who have arrived"

ards of 1.-THE Vision" the Educational
Film romance which preceded THE
Blue Boy" a charming little story of
the incident which inspired the ia
nous Gainsborough painting of the
same title, is set out in natural col
ors that make the rich costumes and
settings seem parts of q fairy tale
in their loneliness. More and more
close observers are becoming con-
vinced that something very fine is
being presented unostentatiously In
these unique color classics, whose
romantic appeal makes one wish they
could be developed into full-length
features.
In the Duchess of Buffalo" the
charming little comedy star appears as
an accomplished American dancer in
Russia, whose veil dance makes such
a hit with the male population, in
Guiding the grand duke, that it all but
wrecks her romance with the hand
some dragon who loves her more of
the stage than on.
A ludicrouS miX-up results in
Marion, the dancer being mistaken for
the grand duchess, and when he
grand duke arrives things become q
bit hot for Connie" who, however,
proves herself equal to the situation,
contriving to eXtriCate herself and her
lover from the melee without injuring
any ones feelings-or reputation.
Ruth Granville, an up-to-date per-
former on the saXophone, displays
talent which ranks her along with
the great soloists on the jass instru-
ments know to the American school of
popular music.
Pathe News and song hits from 1.-The
Song of Flame" performed by the
Metropolitan Symphony, complete the
program. Daniel Breeskin, conductor
of the symphony, has arranged an
exceptionally attractive concert num-

Her initial effort in the two-a-day was
"A most pronounced triumph, and

the addition of so clever an artistic

few. if any, with the rare qualifications
of this latest recruit. The aria from

followed by songs from the Spanish,

her selections were pleasing and the
brilliant woman could not help but
be pleased with her reception.

INTERNATIONAL LAW
INVOLVED IN FIGHT
Men From u. S. Destroyer Accused
of Shooting American in Brit
ish Dance Hall.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, August 30.--A question
of international law has arisen be-
tween London and Washington, says
a Gravesend dispatch to the West
minister Gazette, owing to the refusal
of the American destroyer Lardner to
surrender to the British police Ameri-
can sailors alleged to have been con-
cerned in the shooting of an American
negro sailor, Emile Parades, in a
Gravesend dance hall.
Parades is in the hospital.
1t is stated that all the men from
the destroyers Lardner and Sharkey
who were present in the dance hall
when the dispute occurred are held in
custody aboard the Lardner, and that
an investigation is being conducted by
4 board of three commissioned officers,
who invited the British police superin-
tendent of Chatham to assist them.
The board has not yet been able to
fix the crime on any one, and the de-
parture of the destroyer for Spain to-
day may be delayed.
Although the British foreign office
has appealed to Washington there ap-
pears to be little doubt that the action
of the American officers will be upheld.

WARDMAN PARK-"Br0ken Bios
sOms."

Of the great number Of photoplays
made in the last few years, few have
survived wildly in the memories of
motion picture audiences. Many We're
mediocre, some bad, few, indeed,
really great. Broken Blossoms" is
one of the great ones. In addition to
a good story, good actors and good
settings, it has one of the elements
of greatness often overlooked-it has
an appeal that is probably due more
to the director than to any other
factor.
Broken Blossoms" was one Of
David Wark Griffith's earliest sue
cesses, and, like many Of the greater
pictures of the past, it served to
bring new stars into prominence.
This was one of Richard Barthelmess'
first triumphs, and 1t also put Lillian
Gish among the higher lights of
! filmdom.
The story concerns a little Hack
ney girl, who never knew that kind
ness existed until she came in con-
tact with disillusioned young Chi
nese poet. Then, for short time
they both live anew. only to have
their spark of happiness extinguished
by a brute--her unnatural father
a Limehouse prizefighter. The action
OF the picture IS lalQ IN the water
front slums of London, affording eX-
ceptional opportunities for fine pho
Biography.
Broken Blossoms" is one of a
series Of revivals fostered by the
Motion Picture Guild, which is seek
ing to raise the best of the pictures
of the past to the intellectual status
of appreciation enjoyed by the better
stage plays. Heretofore, there has
been a tendency to see film and
forget it, or to merely remember the
star. If this can be counteracted, it
is believed the motion picture may
really lay claim to the rank of art.
That the revivals are proving pop
ular is manifest by the improvement
in attendance at recent performances.
A short film, burlesquing the days
of chivalry and Of Robin Hood, also
is on the program.

could have been your motive in re-
ferring to the events of that period
IN the phraseology you did except t.
lead the bootleggers and their patrons
TO feel that they were justified in their
damnable violation of the law of
america and the law of Worcester
county and to encourage others to
become similar criminals? Indeed
such encouragement makes them feel
that they are in the patriotic class
by such violations. Whether you so
intend your words or not, the effect is
the same and their influence for evil
can never be recalled.
Of course, Patrick Henry, to whom
you refer, had cited the fate of sever
al tyrants when he exclaimed, "And
George the Third may profit by their
example," Who, Mr.. Editor, beseech
you is the tyrant in the case of the
prohibition law? / answer: a more
than two-thirds vote of the Congress
and the Senate Of the United States,
the majority popular vote of thirty
six states and two-thirds majority
vote of the Legislatures of forty-siX
states out of the forty eight states of
he union. Which shall prevail in re-
public America, the huge majority a
bove stated, or "the so many who are
opposed" mentioned by you?
If Mr.. Editor, you are opposed to
Prohibition, come bravely out and ad-
vocate its repeal and present any le-
Ultimate argument or fact to support
your conviction, but until it's repeal
shall have been brought about. I
would earnestly commend you to the
high standard Of Americanism as dis
played by Theodore Roosevelt Jr.,
when he addressed a Radio audience
of millions, several nights ago, and
declared that no man could be justified
in rebelling against any law in Amer
lea except by advocating it's lawful re-
peal; and that he himself, though he
was opposed to Prohibition, recognized
the fact that it was now the law of
the country and that so long as it was
on the statute books he, as one-hun-
dred per cent American, would obey
the law and he called upon every man,
every woman to fully obey the provis-
ions of the law, and he called upon
every official of the United States,
from the President to the lowest Dep
uty Sheriff, to do everything in their
power to enforce the law.
Very truly yours,
