is entirely safely practicable that Mrs.
YoSt will exhibit a similar loyalty to
Dwight Whitney Morrow of New
Jersey in his wet escapade of trying to
become United States Senator through
an advocacy of the repeal of Mrs. Yost'S
eighteenth amendment.
Much of the characters of both Of
these woman drys can be written in
concurrence and in unison. Mrs. Ross
and Mrs. Yost are both of them able to
have principles without denying to
others the ability to have them too.
Neither of them has pose. Both of them
have poise. Each of them has propa-
gandiSt earnestneSs. Each of them at
the same time has judicial balance.
Both Of them are endowed with great
feminine attractiveness. Each of them
nevertheless is possessed alSo-and most
notably-of those qualities of impartial
cool Judgment and liberation and ac-
commodation which sonnet ines are
called peculiarly masculine.
Mrs. Ross has spoken on behalf of
Thomas Jefferson in some 20 States
during the last few weeks. She pleases
audiences not only with her eloQuence,
but with her moderation and modesty.
Mrs. Yost has won large numbers of
friends for herself in Washington. even
in the press gallery. which never has
displayed any overwhelming friendship
for professional prohibitionists, when
male.
Mrs. Yost has a son who composes
songs, and whose Dream of Dreams
has been sung as theme song by Rudy
Vallee. He was not brought up sad by

 Attractions At Theatres
BARTHELMESS IN DRAG"
 NOW SHOWING PALACE

Are blondes more home-lovlng and devoted to their families than brunettes? a
 This question is suggested by the story of Richard Barthelmess' new est starring vehicle, Drag the First National-Vitaphone 100 per cent talking, at the Palace for the last two times tonight.
 Drag has two leading ladies, a blonde and aAbrunette. The blonde Alice Day, rffarries the hero, but their home life is wrecked because of her excessive devotion to her own kinsfolk, especially her parents. The brunette, Lila Lee, an equally nice girl who is less enslaved by the ties formed in childhood, finally wins the affections of David Car roll, as Dick BarthelmeSs is known in the film.
 Director Frank Lloyd selected Misses Day and Lee to play these roles because of theory he has long held that blondes are nearly always of more passive disposi- ton than brunettes. They are, he believes, steadier and more reliable And in this connection he quotes 9 published statement by the Commis- sioner of Police of New York City some years ago that brunettes are arrested for careless driving oftener than are their fair-haired sisters.

and year or two later Georva Howard, father of Cordelia Howard celebrated child actress of the time converted the novel into a play, the grandfather of all the thousands Of versions that have appeared since.
 Having but limited stage space and desiring the utmost in audi ence reaction, Howard, whose small daughter played the role of little Eva, Whote the part Of Uncle Tom to 1t an aged character, bent with rheumatic pains and hobbling across the stage on crutch. This was to create an immediate sympathy from a visual standpoint without wasting too many lines in explana- ton that might be placed to other profitable use.
 Ever after, all Uncle Toms have been played that way. However sad thought it may upset a tradi- tion of more than seventy years sSalluln8, tIlls conception of Uncle Tom is erroneous and far from the original description by Mrs. Stowe of the celebrated character.
 Uncle Tom was about 45 years old. He was tall and broad -chastcd as a slave overseer should be. The price he brought at auction was $500, large sum for a slave. Ma turally an old, useless man would bring nowhere near that figure.
 The entire drama world was combed for suitable Uncle Tom for the stupendous Universal pro- duction of Uncle Toms Cabin" which ccmes to the Palace tomor- row. The intensive search was rewarded in the discovery of James B. Lowe who created sensation in the title role of Eugene ONeills The Emperor Jones.

FLOCCING BACK
 IN ENGLAND AS
 CRIME SPREADS
Old Familiar Implement of Justice the Cato
 Nine ails-Is Used
By WADE WERNER GAP Feature Service Writcr)

LONDON, Jan. 6.-Violent crime, tiinidly lifting up its head in Eng land is being scourged back into submission with that old familiar implement of justice-the cat-o'- nine-tails.
 For while Englishmen love to read about crimes of violence, and dote particularly on exaggerated ac- counts of criminal reigns of terror in Americas big cities, they don't like crimes of violence in their own country. In fact, they won't stand for them
 So English magistrates, are not hesitating to revive the old custom.
 Magistrates at Leeds, Liverpool and Maidstone have answered vlo- lence with the whip in recent cases, and here in Londons famous crimi- nal court, the Old Bailey, judges have been shaking the dust off the cat-o'- -nine-tails and letting brutal offenders learn how it feels to be treated brutally.
 The magistrate who sentenced a man to 18 months imprisonment for attacking a girl and robbing her did not stop with that. He or dered fifteen strokes with the cat by way of emphasis.
 Another justice, sentencing a painter who had followed a servant girl home and beaten and robbed her. ordered 18 lashes with the cat to supplement his incarceration.
 You treated that girl with fero- cious cruelty" he told the prisoner, and the only thing to go is to make you suffer something like the pain you inflicted on her"
 A very tough young fellow, and proud of it, (who helped another ruffian beat and rob an old man, was given nine months imprlson- ment and 12 strokes with the cat. His companion, even tougher than he, got Is months hard labor and IS lashes
 Flogging is not, of course, a legal punishment for all offenses. And since 1791 it has been illegal to flog a woman, no matter what her of fense.

 Nancy Carroll has everything. She is delight to watch. The life and action in her portrayal, the absorbing personality and the charm of her presence provides all the entertainment one needs for one evening. But then there's Gary Cooper. Cooper has that which, for men actors, is the same thing as "its for women actors. He has proved it in many strong parts but, in no one of his pictures, has he excelled so completely as in The Shopworn Angel"
 The ShopWorn Angel is a ten der love story of boy, shy, bash- ful, honest, and girl, gay, giddy, charming and true. It is a pathetic story played against the bright background of Broadway. It is glittering piece Of romance. a thrill ling tangle of circumstances in which g clean-n1inded young man and re-awakened girl are swirled helplessly.
 The Shopworn Angel has many things to recommend it. It has Nancy Carroll, Gary Cooper, Paul Lukas, that captivating and mys- terious person, and an unusually, moving love story in a brilliant setting. It is good entertainment throughout and it is good for think ing people. The Shopworn Angel7 is picture to see and to talk about"

 Doucet long ago became known as g great collector In 1912 he sold his French paintings of the eighteenth century, on which he had concentrated The sale, still a record here, brought just short of S3,000,000. Then he turned toward modern schools of art
 Much of the money he spent of late years went into the art library, now housed in the Solomon de Rctilschild mansion, open to the public.
 Doucet had gathered 100000 books on art, 800 manuscript vol tunes, 1,500 volumes of autographs and original documents pertaining to art, 150o00 photographs of art works and 10000 prints.
