Coming almost on the eve Of the harvesting and

At the Movies
ELT1NCE'T THEATRE

"The Actress" in which Norma
Shearer will be seen on the Eltinge
screen for today and Thursday is an
adoption Of the famous stage play,
"Trelawney Of Wells" by Sir Arthur
Wing Pinero. Ralph Forbes and
Owen Moore are included in the cast.
Pinero wrote the play in 1880 and
the characters were drawn from real
people who lived In . lodging house
in London and played 1T the Wells
theatre.
The story deals in dramatic fash
ion with the courtship Of . popular
young actress by . young scion Of
wealth and aristocracy whose par
ents oppose the union. The ensuing
conflict provides scenes Of unfor-
gettable intensity, in which Miss
Shearer is superb.

IN NEW YORK

New York, July 11.-Once more
the gang guns bark in the Manhat-
tan by-ways.
But the Five Corners" where
gang history began, hears not so
much as an echo. Nor does Hell's
Kitchen of sinister reputation. The
redoubtable Five Corners is busy
with traffic; the gayly painted bal
comics Of Chinatown cast their colors
over the hot street; sailors swing out
Of tattoo parlor; suspiciously over
painted women learn from second
floor windows plying their oldest
profession; statesmen briskly come
and 60 from the stores. Only the
ghosts Of gangsters stalk there.
And, over in Hell's Kitchen, mid
day shoppers make the rounds Of
the vegetable pushcarts which now
line the street. There is an air Of
domesticity about the Ninth Avenue
belt Of today, with be-aproned house
wives busying themselves about or
going from stall to stall. with mar
ket baskets on their arms.
Today no one can tell where the
gang will strike. The Chicago gang
college has taught an old dog new
tricks. One day q man will step
from the curb in the teeming mid
town center, shoot down q man as
he sits at the seat Of his sedan, hop
into q car and drive away. Or he
will leave q bomb lying on an auto
mobile floor and blow the driver To
bits q few minutes later.
Its a far cry from the BULLDOG
ing, herman gang guys Of the Five
Corners to the shady, snake-in-the-
grass variety now in vogue.
The war that now RACES is Of the
Chicago vintage. The feuds are
feuds with Chicago angles and one
notices Chicago detectives strolling
about during the funerals. There il
a Chicagoese air about the extrava.

Coal With q Color

Harmonizing with the current
vogue for color schemes in fountain
pens, kitchen stoves, wastebaskets
and all, comes q dispatch from
Pottsville announcing anthracite
coal is to be colored pink as q dis
tinctive advertising feature. We
suggest the trucks that carry this
rouged mineral be lined with baby
blue plush, with green lace curtains
for the drivers seat. Miners
who delve for this precious anthra-
cite should wear fawn-colored spats

NEW WAR OVER OIL

The ostrich is in many ways admirable bird.
He has fine physique, is easily tanned, can run very
fast and has beautiful tail feathers Yet. the whole,
he is hardly 50 fine that we should adopt him our
national bird in place Of the eagle.
In other words it is not good plan for to copy
his famous habit Of seeking security by burying the
head in the sand and shutting out all unpleasant sights
For when the cstrchs head is thus buried his posteror
is elevated, tempting the fates to apply ringing swat
with barrel stave or boot.
Not long ago Rear Admiral Punkett made speech
in which he said that this country and Great Britain
were drifting toward war. Instantly cry went up:
"unthinkable" The admiral called many names,
Of which "jingo' was the mldest, and all assured
each other since with England would be unspeak
ably tragic it was, ipso facto, impossible
It would be tragedy, surely. But is it really "un-
thinkable?"
It is not. Ludwell Denny. evel-headed Wash
inston correspondent who is no more a lingo than
William Howard Taft. can think Of it, for one. His
recent book, 1--WE Fight for Oi,' ought to be read
by oil Of US who have been putting heads in the
sand. For Mr.. Denny thinks highly probable.
The United States and Great Britain engaged
now in . great struggle for world oil reserves.
Denny points out the spheres Of conflict Russia the
Near East, Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela. Standard
Oil is doing the fighting for the United States while
Royal Dutch Shell carries for the Empire. The
struggle is getting more complicated, more acute.
Neither nation could function without OIL The
worlds oil supply is limited. Each nation from
diplomats and financiers down to the perennial IMAM
IN the street." is determined to have an adequate un-
checked supply. Floods Of propaganda pouring
from each side.
Il war; in such circumstances, "unthnkable." OBJ
viously it is not Obviously we are both drifting
toward the brink. Obviously 4 minor squabble over
some concession in Colombia or Armenia could touch
off world conflagration.
Such war would be great catastrophe. It must
Be avoided and it be- if both sides make m intel
hgent effort to reach amicable compromise. Some
method surely be found whereby the struggle can
be lbated.
But here is the point: if we bury our heads in the
sand and keep crying "Unthinkable!" no such com.
promise will be reached. We will keep on drifting
until We drift squarely into war. The only sensible
course is to face the facts and what can be done
about it.
Copying the ostrich bring only disaster. We
must get together before it is too late.
