I. U.C.NONINEES
ATTACKED

The Brightwood Citizens Associa-
ton bitterly attacked President
Coolidge's nominations of Benjamin
F. Adams and John w. ChiIdress
for the Public Utilities Commission
In a resolution adopted last night
in the Brightwood School.
Declaring that the nominations
were Obnoxious to the last de-
gree to any one who believes in
fair dealing and honest govern
mem" the resolution protested
against their confirmation.
Both Childress ard Adams were
declared unfit for the public utility
posts because of their past indirect
connections with the public service
corporations.
Although there have been more
than 100 meetings of civic organiza-
tons since the appointments were
made, it was pointed out, not a
single organization has expressed
approval of them.
Rigid enforcement of the law
against the Washington Rapid
Transit Company for the mutiIation
of trees on Thirteenth Street North
west, was demanded by the associa.
ton.

In parenthesis, it might be added
that the showing of Passion" after
all these years demonstrates again
the startling mechanical improve

pictures there is a flimsiness and
monotony of sets, a thin theatrical

UP, cutting-in of scenes and hard
ness Of photography which seems
amazing today.
The point, however, is that in
those days, Pola Negri was doing
"a definite type, suited to her years
and her coloring, and was hitting
the box Office bulls eye. Then the
American directors took her in
hand, wanted her to be warm
mama, according to their lights
and their experience, and she
wasn't convincing. There were
years and years of futile pictures
some downright bad.

Pola Negr today has become
something else. She appears in
"Barbed Wire" and likewise in
the previewed Women on Trial."
as primarily a character actress,
andA a great one. Her lines are
not so soft and her curves are not
SO alluring as in years agone,
although in her love scenes she can
look highly desirable.
But she has developed a wide
range of emotions in place of the
single appeal which she once
Haunted. She has replaced aban-
don with restraint. She makes
