Director Tourtelotte is to be complimented for his rendering of the popular hits of the day and for the musical score on Dancing Mothers" Raymond Trotta, a local boy who has been with the famous 1 Barney Rapp orchestra throughout the leading hotels in this country, is with the Capitol orchestra and his fine solos on the cornet are really wonderful.
 What is q faithful adaptation Of a Broadway play, opened at the Capitol last night in Dancing Mothers" adapted by Forrest Hal sey from the SeIwyn-Goulding stage success.

Alice Joyce is the woman who decided to become one of the "Dancing Moth crs," and Clara Bow is seen to ad- vantage, in her first part in a Para mount picture, as the troublesome young daughter.

 An interesting feature of the mar velous reception of "The Big Pa rade" in New York, Chicago and Philadelphia is the unanimity Of opinion from all reviewers that "Thc Big Parade" is 100 per cent. Gener- ally in each big town there is one severe critic whose comments the press agents carefully put in cold oncomiums of the more complaccnt. But in the case of "The Big Parade" the whole sheaf of reviews can he laid on the dramatic editors desk. Perhaps one of the causes of this astonishing uuanimity is that both Laurence StaIlines. author and King Vidor worked with might and main to present the truth of the Big Show" as the doughboys called the Big Parade" of the A.

IN THE DAYS NEWS
. aaasaaeeeeaaesaeeee

One of the men brought into
the limelight by Great Britain's
general strike is Arthur Pugh, who
as chairman of the General Coun-
ell of the Trades Union Congress
has been in actual control of the
plans of the labor organizations.
In comparison with Ben Tillett
and other veterans of the labor
movement, Mr.. Pugh is compare
tive newcomer. Like most of the
labor leaders he began work at
fourteen. Within short time he
became prominent as an advocate
for organization among the iron
and steel workers and took part in
the formation of the Iron and
Steel Trades Confederation, of
which he later became the general
secretary. As a result of his
work in this position he was elect
ed to the General Council of the
Trades Union Congress and even
tually was made its chairman.
When important issues have been
at stake Mr.. Pugh has usually linz
ed up with Ramsay Mcdonald and
other conservative leaders of the
Labor Party.
