YOU MUST COME
OVER AND NETT AKA

A new revue in New York has the
expert services of a comedy mule,
and a trick mule at that.
Now, you would never suppose for
one minute that the movies would
let the stage put one over on the
silver sheet.
I should say not. Proof is to be
found in 1.-THE Missing Link" and
although sgd Chaplin is announced
in the billing as the star, it is Aka,
chimpanzee, who is the real CO.
median in this movie.
This chimpanzee is a comedy
wonder, and Aka has lot to do.
The picture really does not get
started until Aka begins to steal
homemade candy in the kitchen,
and the fun starts when Aka re-
sents the efforts of Ruth Hiatt to
make love to sgd Chaplin. Here is
some of the funniest low comedy I
have witnessed in many a day.
Hokum, yes, but even "hoke" can
have the comedy wallop.
This one scene really makes up
for only a fair story, but 1.-THE
Missing Link" doesn't need much of
story when Aka was around. And
I am one who will shout it from the
housetops that Aka knows his
business. (And Aka may wire me
any second that he isn't a he, but
q very proper comedienne, who can
make even funnier faces than Marie
Dressler."
Aka has an unusual nose" for
comedy and he must have had a gay
old time of it when he was chasing
Chaplin through one door and
through another.
Really, this chimpaneze is q won
der and actually carries the real
comedy burdens of this photoplay on
his shoulders.
1.-THE Missing Link" Is a novelty
comedy and as such it has a good
entertaining wallop. Must be classed
as freak, but it Is good one at
that.
On the stage Is Boyce Coombe,
billed as "a Cycle Of Unusual
Songs" And I am telling the whole
world that the billing is true. How
any singer Of songs can do a song
telling how bad guy feels and acts
when he has sea sickness is beyond

Schipa's encores are as interest
ing as his announced numbers. Flo
lows "M'Appari" from Martha"
started the audience on the road to
an ovation which has seldom been
witnessed in this city.
A song in English, "The Day
When My Dreams Come True" had
beauty Of tone as well as sentiment
and was one of his best. Bathel-
emy's "Pesca d'Amore" had the
marvellous tonal quality which caused
the ovation to reach new heights.
It is not necessary to go into con-
sideration of each number, but here
we had a fine example of expert
program building.
The solo work Of Longas at the
piano only increased the beauty Of

reigning sensation as lyric tenor
with the Chicago Civic Opera.
Here is a, voice of wonderful beau
ty and exacting purity. Here Is a
personality which has excluded all
fireworks but just the voice and the
brains back of it.
Here is a singer who creates with
ease purity of tone and an under
standing of the work Of the COM
poser which few have ever pos
sessed in such a big measure.
The ovation accorded Schipa at
the Murat Sunday afternoon took
on such size that many were yell
ing their approval Of the singer.
It is seldom that we see such a
demonstration as was accorded
Schipa yesterday afternoon. There
were many reasons for this. 1t
seemed to me that there was such
Joy in everything that the tenor did
that this pleasure went over the
footlights into the auditorium.
We had at this concert a fine
example of what is human as well
as beautiful in an acknowledged
great artist. Sharing this spirit of
both artistry and love for, the work
of melody was Fred Longas, pianist.
Both Schipa and Longas were de-
lighted in the beauty of the labor
of song which is glorious mission
to both of these men. 1t is seldom
that an assisting artist such as
LongaS creates such a profound i'm
preston.
There was such cooperation be-
tween both men that this concert
became Of one quality satisfying

does some good work as Aunt Lydia.
She is the one who discovers who
the major really is.
Nagel does consistently good work
throughout the story. He makes a
wonderful appearing aviator, and
makes an ass of himself by con-
tinually butting in on the tete-a-
tetes Of Cynthia. Then finally he
corners her in her bedroom and
tells who he is. He says that as he
is her husband she will have to do
as he says. It is clever.
This is comedy that is light and
moves fast. The situations are abb
surd, but not so WIDELY impossible.
It is joke that is carried beyond
the funny stage for the girl.

problem of the modern girl and
aviator themes mixed. 1t makes
good comedy, however, for there is a
new twist given the idea.
Comedies and news reels with Con-

WE ARE MEAT EATERS.

Based on population of ll5,000,o00 people, Americans in. 1922 have consumed meat at the rate of about nine pounds per month for every man. woman and child in ,the United states. The Department of Agriculture is authority Tor the statement that meat this year is being con- sumed at a rate of 1,031,O00,0O0 pounds each month The rate is approximately one and 5ne- half per cent. higher than in 1926, when the consumption 1,016,000,00O pounds monthly. It was also slightly higher than in 1925 when 1,O24, ,000 900 pounds consumed each month
 The rate was higher in 1924 than in any year since 1920 1923 being second and 1927 third Prior to 1923 the aggregate consumption was well under one billion pounds, rising in that year to 1053, 100000 and increasing 25,- GOO 900 pounds in 1924. It has not fallen under a billion pounds since 1923.

Nostrums No Cure-All for Farmers.
Seattle Business Chronicle.1


 There may be such thing as farm relle1 through legislation but it will not be found Tn poitcal nostrums and artificial cure-alls sucn as the McNary- Haugen bill. Such, in brief, IS the report of Charles Nagel, Chairman Of the Busl ness Mems Commission Agriculture-created hv the National Industrial Conference Board anu the Chamber of Commerce of the United States' jointly. ;.o nossib,e by legislation to raise the prices of farm nroaucts. vet it could be done only by means which are unsound in principle, arbitrarily aiter- ing the relations between supply and demand- and promising permanent relief
 Intelligent relief for the farmer, the Commls- sion thinks would embrace gradual tariff adjust mont m eoualizo more nearly the benefits of the prateetive tariff system between agriculture and manufacturing; creation of Federal 1arm boara ia assist in the stabilization of farm prices anu production; comprehensive land utilization policy to be administered through an endowed National Agricultural Foundation; revision of State and local tax systems strengthening of the rural banking system; and revision of railroad rates on farm products and development of water way systems
 The farmer has pretty much the same problem as any other producer He must obtain higher prices, or he must reduce his costs, or he must extend his markets. He certainly suffers an injustice when hostile tarih law Is permitted to curtail his foreign outlets.
 | But his problem is economic, rather than leg islative.
 1 Tn the last analysis, he must stand his own feet solve his own problems according to the fixed laws of production. distribution and exchange Any legislative relief would be but temporary; eventually it would be harmful through the very fact that it would disregard the principles of sound business.

 The common curiosity about the Ford is entirely natural spontaneous. The wealth of paid advertising merely whets or accentuates it When what had come to be an institut OF k radically altered when one of lfes common placfs is Transformed, keen interest everywhere ls inevitable.
 Before now MT. Ford has had much free advertising including the jokes.

BOURBONS OF BUSINESS.

The new ideas and methods that have invaded our industrial world have been dividing our employers of labor into two classes that may be called Progressves and Bourbons.
 The Bourbon class still clings to the belief that the ideal way of producing wealth is to have quantities of cheaply paid labor, hired and fired at frequent intervals. Storing labor that can be got cheaply and in abundance when seasonal rush orders come in is still favored by them. Playing one race off against another, and skill in fighting labor, rather than in using il eheet- iyely are still favored policies. The crowded tenement district. with it's people close 10 the edge of dependence, is still held by the Bourbon to be a desirable part of healthy industrial system.
 The Bourbon hears many discourses about small labor turnover, better organization. me chanical improvements and cooperation between employer and employed all in order to work out higher production per man. but his mind still turns to Ellis Island. the Mexican border and to big reserve of half-employed labor He has not begun to figure, as do his associates that somebody has got to carry that redundant poorly paid labor and its dependents when his payroll does not Somebody has got to provide schools for their children, and hospitals, asylums warehouses and prisons for those that fall by the wayside yet the Bourbon is often the first tt complain, of high taxes when some of the load that he expected to shove on to others come' back to himself.
