Sir Charles Hisham Sees U. s.
 Snoozing at Switch

New York, May IS. - Sir Charles Higham believes America needs to look at herself more searchingly.
 Sir Charles, who is one of the worlds most prominent advertising specialists, feels this country is liv- ing too complacently in the present; is too needless of what may happen ten years from now, and of what is happening abroad at this very mo- ment. He sees America in danger of becoming the victim of it's own pros- perity and of learning that in some ways it is not nearly so smart as it thinks it is.
 All of which the noted Brtisher points good naturedly, rather than critically or bitterly.
 Our Day to Day Living
 America lives vividly from day 10 day. It lives every minute of that day. It is so prosperous that it for gets yesterday and gives no heed to tomorrow" said Sir ChaHes. 'In England we never, have been pros- porous. and so we live from day to day in hope of something better. with our prayers and efforts direc- ted toward the future and our past too brutally memorable to be soon forgotten.
 That's why we're going ahead. That's why we're getting on our feet with amazing rapidity. Our manufacturing plants would sur prise you-as they surprised Mir. Ford. We've been taking the American pattern.
 Hustlers in the Making
 If our men are getting better wages and if our labor problems are being solved, it's the American debt that is doing it. It has made us come to life. The Britisher is not q gogetter, hustler. But he's learning how to be.
 If you enter the average Amer ican business office, with it's array of trick offices, you're likely to See the day started with a discus-

Police Arrest Woman and Three
 Men in Raid

New York, May IS UPl-A raid by police on | black-draped room in a Harlem tenement Is believed by them to have broken up a blackhand gang responsible for spreading ter rorism among Italian residents in this and several other cities.
 Three men and a woman were ar rested. The raid was made after police had shadowed for a week members of the family of Francesca Birancato. wealthy builder, who had received 8 letter demanding $6,0OO.
 Birancato had been directed in one of the letters to go to the East 1O6th street house where he was admitted to an apartment which was all hung in black. The picture frames were draped in mourning. the curtains were black and black drapes hung from the walls.
 When he entered nine men who had bene seated about a long table leaped to their feet and drew re- volvers which they laid on the table before them. They warned him that unless he returned with the money the following night some "misfor- tune" would befall him, mentioning the names of others who had died of bullets.
 Birancato returned last night with
 
 money. AS he handed the money over to one of the men, detectives who had surrounded the house, broke in. Several pistols. a sawed off shotgun and a cane sword were found.

 There has been a great deal Of talk about trade war between England and America. That's too silly for words.

America knows business, but not export; England knows export and is just learning business. The only export rival England has in the world is Germany-as usual

 'True it is that the Britsher slaves himself with American cream and uses an American safe ty razor. But American manufac- turers are gaining sufficient insight to build British factories.

Shanghai Gesture
Clicks Heavily
AT BelaScO

For twenty years a Manchu
princess. cast aside by q thought
less ambitious Englishman, nursed
her hate and planned her ven
geance only to have it turn out
nothing but a Shanghai gesture.
Miss Florence Reed appeared
last night before q large audi
ence at the Shubert Belasco, I'M
folding the story of that pitifuI
attempt at delayed vengeance.
She scored a distinct triumph as
the handspring of THE Shanghai
Gesture" by John Cotton, one or
the authors of Rain"
The entire action Of the play
is placed in Mother Goddam's
palatiaI bagnio at IL Kaiou Road,
Shanghai. China, on a. day be-
tween noon and some time before
midnight, She calls herself
dealer in flesh" She is pro-
tected by the police because she
knows all China secrets, " which
she proceeds to show admirably.
Celebrating the Chinese New
Year. when "all Chinese pay their
debts" she invites. to her house
many of the most prominent
foreigners of Shanghai, with their
wives. Among her guests Is Sir
Guy Charters, played with feel
ing yet calInness as BELTS an
Englishrnan. He lis the man who
wooed and won the youthful
miss Pink more than twenty
years earlier, took the money she
stole from her Manchu father
and then cast her into the gutter
to die--or live, which she did.
Miss Reed rises to dramatic
heights in that banquet scene as
she tells her guests truths about
themselves. especially singing out
Sir Guy, and thrills her audience
by auctioning off an English girl
to the highest bidder among low
class Chinese.
However, not till she attempts
to clinch her triumph over her
betrayer does Miss Reed reach
the climax of her art. 1t liz then
that she learns that all her years
of preparation, following the direst
suffering, have been entirely
wasted and that her most earnest
efforts make but gesture, after
all. that revenge is not for her.
Miss Reed is touring after offer
ing her Shanghai Gesture" to
Broadway for more than a year.
She has met with a warm recep.
ton wherever she has appeared
and a Washington audience re-
peated that last night. Fire regu.
lations prevented use Of the final
set, but the play suffered nothing
on that account. Tragedy is
tragedy, in palace or novel, and
the play ends with tears.
A. II. Woods has mounted this
Oriental story richly. The sets,
costumes and lighting effects are
beautiful in every way. Miss

Sadie Thompson
Remains at
Columbia

Entering its second week,
.ssadie Thompson" now current
at Loew's Columbia, is still play
ing to capacity houses. the
volcanic Sadie, superbly enacted
nv Gloria Swanson, offers a screen
characterization comparable with
the best.
In thie picturization the glorious
Swanson rises to the plane OF a
real artist. The scenario offers
fuIl outlet for her emotional
qualities. Suffice it to say that
she makes the most of her oppor'
tunity.
Lionel Barrymore, as the re.
former de luxe, plays his part well
enough. but his work fails to reacn
the standard of Raoul Walsh, APP
bearing az Sergeant O'Hara. This
big, good-natured fellow dominates
a role admirably suited to his
talents. A large measure or the
films success is due to his Ell
forts.
Sadie Thompson proves to be
A rollicking, carefree young lady
who is ostracized in the land of
Page Page, where it rains and
rains and rains. Surrounded by
a good natured gang, she strives to
make the best of a nhonotonous
situation.
Then the blue-nosed reformer
begins his crusade against evil.
Sadie at once becomes a target
for his intolerance.
In the action that follows the
reformer uncovers details con-
nected with Sadie's past that
arouse the ire Of the young lady
and all concerned. Storming, weep
ing, hopeless and homeless, the
friendless waif resigns herself to
a rather sordid fate.
The climax Ia reached in a man.
ner that may best be seen on the
silver sheet. The ending is happily
effected when Sadie finally gets a
"break'' after proving that a re-
former, after all, is only human.
This is a picture that needs a
Gloria Swanson. The fact that it
has one, combined with the tur-
bulent and complicated situations
weaved into the story, tends to
furnish splendid entertainment.

Mr. DELI Is B. 1am1ly-uIe a0u1cL
and his pen is rather brutal when
he uses 1t for dissection purposes.
There may be people in the
world who are prototypes of those
caricatured in "Six Feet Under"
but it is also true that there are
people who go to theater to
relax and not to be irritated.
six Feet Under" in its photog-
raphy Of the tranquil American
home, begins to get quite irritat-
ing before the curtain on the
third act rises.
Mr.. Deli essays the ceLsral fig.
ure and makes a bowling success
of it. If he isn't the first author
of his day, he is, at least, q
comedian and, as such, lots OF us
would like to see more OF him.
The story deals with a young
married man, driven to the grave
side by hypochondria and q crazy
family. Despite the laughs the
theme is unpleasant. Brother Ell
mer is too frazzled by nerves to
die when the undertakers are
camping on his threshold. The
last curtain descends on Elmer,
i'm bed and on his last legs,
though he IL still solicitous about
what model shoes his firm will
exploit for the new season.
Mr.. DELI has not forgotten the
tricks of the vaudevillian but
he has forgotten those subtleties
that distinguish q playwright from
someone who merely has an idea
in his head. Several Of the char
acters are extraneous and, vir-
tual1y all OF the comedy 10.
