ELr.NCE THEATRE

a story, which unfolds with real
sparkle, is French Dressing which
comes to the Eltinge for Monday
and Tuesday.
The plot is both amusing and sin
cerc, and tells the story Of cold
little Boston wife who really
learned how to live through trip
to Paris. Lois Wilson is the wife
and her transformation from the
prim Boston matron, with long
trcsses, to the beautiful girl with
bobbed hair and Paris gow,.s. is
realistically portrayed. 1t may be
added that Miss Wilson has never
looked more lovely IN her screen ca.
reer than she does in this picture.
II. b. Warner IA the Boston hus-
band who wishes his wife would be
little less prim, . little less cold
Lilyan Eastman as the gay girl
friend who comes for visit. and
whose innocent actions unwittingly
cause Lois to leave home and 60 to
Paris for n divorce; and Give Brook
as the suave man-about-Paris, all
give pleasing portrayals.
The story has many angles, par
ticularly in the conclusion, which
has a delightful twist.

At the Movies
CAPITOL THEATRE

Mr.. Barrymore. who is an author
ity on the period, explains, that
these blades were longer than the
ordinary dress parade sword and
were extremely light and flexible.
They were diamond shaped 50 as to
offer little resistance to the air in
side-strokcs, and so that wounds in
flicted would stay open and bleed
freely. They were not used to slash
or hack, but to parry and thrust.
The fact that they were used with
lightning-like rapidity made it im-
perative that they should be very
light in weight, and balanced so that
the hilt and guard weighed as much
as the blade. The use Of the ancient
rapier is thrillingly demonstrated in
"When a Man loves" the special
extended-run production in which
John Barrymore stars, supported by
Dolores Costello and distinguished
cast including Warner GLAND, Sam
De Grasse. Holmes Herbert. Tom
Santschi. Charles Clary, and many
others.
"When a Man Loves" comes to
the Capitol Theatre next Monday
for a run of three days

Justice in the Coal Fields

Observe in this issue of The Times a cartoon
by Talburt depicting the plight of the coal miners
and the coal operators. It Taburt is highland
think he is-both operators and miners are in a
bad situation, 1t is not only the miner that is
suffering from the present state of affairs in the
coal industry.
1t is evident that, as an economic problem, the
coal situation is battling But that doesn't
mean that the can be said of another phase
of the situation. AS a problem in the administration
of justice. the in the coal fields is one that
can be improved vastly.
Blanket njunctions that prevent practically every
normal human activity of mners-even the attend
of church; the giving of authority to employees
of the coal companies to act law ofhcers-the
notorious coal and iron police; turning, in short
all the power of the local government into the scales
in behalf of side of what, at the very least is
two-Sided controversy; these things conflict vo-
ently with the American conception of justice. They
present state of affairs that can not continue.
The investigation proposed by Senator Hiram
Johnson will take up these phases of the coal war
Out of the evidence obtained Congress should find
way to justice to the coal miners,
