KAY BEATTY is BEING
MADE OVER AGAIN HERE

When David Belasco presented
Ladies Of the Evening" in New
York, the word went about that It
was one of those "dirt" plays.
When people started to flock to
the theater to see it on Broadway
or just off of Broadway, changes were
ordered and made
Belasco sent us last season at
Englishs his New York production
with most of the principles in the
big city cast. This week the Berkell
Players are presenting this much
discussed play.
saw this play in New York before
1t arrived here and when l visited
1t on the opening night of the Berkell
production, my thoughts again were
the same as when I first saw It.
do not take these sort of plays
too seriously as / consider them a
certain brand of entertainment. The
characters are drawn pretty close
to life but the situations are raore
or less theatrical and often two senti-
mental.
The secret of the success Of this
play depends a great deal upon the
characterization ability of the woman
who plays the role of Kay Beatty, a
street walker who was convinced
that under the proper circumstances
she would not want to cruise" the
streets for living.
Kay Beatty is not basicly bad
girl. She has found what she
thought is the easist way to get
money. AS long as she isn't too
hungry she worries not. Also a
place to park herself at night is
necessary. OF course, Kay Is not
a good product, but the theory is
that there is enough good in her
or any girl Of her type to go straight
If she has honest employment. And
an artist by the name of Jerry
Strong gives her decent employ
ment. This is done after he has
made bet with two club compan-
ions that he could pick UP any girl
Of this type and make her a new
human being.
Things go along nicely until Kay
learns that her artist friend has
made a bet. This is told to her by
cruising companion Of the hight.
named Dot Miller. But try as she
could, Kay could not go back to the
old life. OF course. Jerry falls in
love with Kay and there is a happy
ending after much suffering And
SO you know that Kay is going to
be a good girl for many moons at
least when the curtain drops.
Miss Elliott this week is contrib
uting a Characterization which is a
type study, not as individual proba-
bly, as 1t should be, but the charac-
ter is built upon such well.lxnown
lines Of understanding that you will
agree that Miss Elliott does some
very fine work in a most unpleasant
ro1a.

What We Have Gotten

1t has always been our contention
that, though We coul afford to can
eel the debts, 1t would be wrong to
do so on account OF the demoralizing
effect on international credit.
Except for England, how could in
ternational credit become more de-
moralized than It is. and what have
we gotten for our contention thus
far, except hate?
Germany wiped out her domestic
debt through paper money and
France seems likely to travel the
same route.
With millions of. European bond
holders losing in this way, sacri-
f1cing their all not for war. but for
the after effect OF war. how can we
expect anything but i'll feeling at
our demands for settlement-we who
have so much, from them who have
so little7

Dynamite

The man is a TOOL who cannot see
dynamite In the situation
If we Insist on such terms as we
have succeeded IN persuading some
Governments to accept. every debt
agreement is going to be imbedded in
anger and that anger is going to last
as long as the payments-sixty-two
years.
Anger, especially II famed by un.
scrupulous politicians, could result
in lot of things during such long
period.
To put II hluntly. we have war in
the making-war for money that we
could afford to lose, but that our
debtors would find it very hard to
pay.
Is the chance to collect $11, 000.-
100000 or what is more likely, only
n small fraction Of it, worth the
risk?

Eleven Billions Owed

Europe owes us about $11 200, 00O,-
900, which we could wipe off the
books and hardly know the differ
ence. bat which is only small frac-
ZION of what Europe owes its own
people. or that it has already wiped
off the books.
So long as Germany stood at one
end of the line as chief debtor. while
we stood at the other as chief credi-
tor, and governments inbetween ap.
peared to face no greater task than
pass the money along from Germany
to us, things went very well, but
when German reparations failed and
we began to insist that the govern
ments in between pay up on their
own account, there was a different
story.

to hang up correctly and the prompt

But through it all, Miss Elliott
stayed in character and kept up the
nervous emotional tempo Of the part.
She mounted beautifully to the dra-
matte outburst near the close of
this act. She was perfectly love-
ly in the last act. Here is a most
difficult part, and by the time you
see this show, Miss Elliott will be
giving one of the best difficult char
acterizations we have had in stock
this summer.

A BAD EXAMPLE

galaxy of American millionaires sailed this
week for Europe the Majestic British ship, the
United Press informs u.s.
Included in the group were Secretary of the
Treasury Andrew w. Mellon, ]. p Morgan banker;
Charles w. Steele of his partners; Clarence
w. Mackay, president of the Postal Telegraph Com.
pany and William S. Ware, Republican candidate for
Senator from Pennsylvania
few days ago dispatch from New York
pointed out that reason American Government
owned and operated ships lose money is because
Americans insist on sailing on foreign owned ships
1t would seem that the group of American mil
lionaires who chose the Majestic might set an ex-
ample fox their fellow citizens.
All know the difficulties which have surrounded
operations of the American merchant marine None
knows it better than Secretary Mellon and Repre-
sentative Ware, the latter member of the House
Appropriations Committee.
Only in the United States do citizens show such
lack of national pride The English patronize their
own vessels So does every other nationality except
Americans.

featured by the different members of
the company and some charming
dance offering by Arrioff and Louise.
Miss Vera Walton, a soprano, has
several songs that are likable and
the fun is left to House, with Billy
Riddle as the foil.
A plot is the one thing a musical
comedy can neglect, but in this show
we have a little more than usual
in order to give full play to the
Billy House brand of fun. We see
Billy in the character of a young
fellow who has been arrested for
speeding the night before his we'd
ding and sentenced to six months in
Jail. In order to get around telling
his new wife the truth he tells her
that he must go down into Mexico
with the army. AS one would sup
pose everything turns out wrong
and brave General" gets into lot
of trouble. To my way Of thinking
the happiest thing House did was
his description of battle he sup
posedly participated in during his
absence.
The song and dance numbers are
good, but there was one which I
liked in particular, it was the Castle
in Spain" number with the chorus,
the dancing team and man singing
the melody.
Another departure from the
regular bill this week is a feature
number on the organ by Justine
Herder.

BY Carl G. Magee

Don Mellett's death is a challenge
to America.
g. Can vice and crime utilize violence
anywhere or any time to intimidate
and defeat law and order?
If it can there is not enough red
blood in America to be worth saw
ing. Every readers soul will repef
such a thought. Hanging Mellett's
murderer will not avenge the crime
against America. Crucifying law
lessness upon the cross Of the order
ly process Of law alone will expiate
such crimes against society.
No man wishes to die. Perhaps
we dread the ordeal of dying more
than we do being dead. But the
man who prefers that death come to
him by the slow process Of disintegra-
ton in a sickbed, rather than with
his boots on in a fight for a right
eousness, is a dolt.
The fact that the latter will fight
at all will prompt him to resist his
asailant If he can. Failing, he can
die with a smile. as men Of moral
courage always die, no matter where
they die.
We sorrow for Mellett's family.
They are crushed by his untimely
end. But in the last analysis--in
the years to come--how proud they
will be of such a record. 1t is a
greater heritage than gold.
Society is the loser by the death
Of such men as Mellett. The world
needs fighters for civic righteous
ness. They are all too scarce.
Yet Mellett, dead, lives more vital
ly in Canton than Mellett alive.
The manner Of his physical re-
moval will shock men to action. Ills
spirit, passing from his physical
frame, will find an abode and will
