RUTH IN RUSH
 PROVES TO BE
 PLEASING PLAY
Cast Does Unusually We'll, Reflecting Credit on
 Its Teacher

Ruth in Husn," three-acG comedy presented on the stage in the Coliseum theatre, Saturday night, proved delightful entertain ment. The theme of the play, while concerned with the hurry and hustle of the younger gener- ation, could be improved with more action, but for lack of this quail ity, there is almost sufficient com pcnsation in the wit and humor of the lines.
 The players, all amateurs attend ing high school and some of them without any previous experience behind the footlights, gave a very creditable' performance Some of them revealed histrionic talents worthy of development. The lines
The Daily Alaska empire., 1931-05-25

and stage presence of most mem berS of the cast approached closely to the seeming naturalness that makes for artistic drama.
 Girls Excel Boys
 As rule the girls excelled the boys in adeptness of characteriza- tion, but. all in all, there was none but what did surprisingly well.
 Jean Faulkner as Ruth and Stewart Elliott as Ruth's friend and secretary enacted their roles without fault, and the same may be said of Lorene Smith as Ruth's aunt, Doris Ulrich as maid and ticket agent, Mildred Miller as an eloper and Virginia Ulrich as Ruins sister.
 The boys were uniformly good, too. James Gray as Ruths poor suitor, Burford Carmichael as a millionaire and as her rich suitor, William Friend as an eloper and Joseph Romunseth as a writer act ed their parts to full advantage.
 Reflects Credit on Teacher
 The commendable work of the performers reflects great credit on Mabel Nigh Ranum, who instruct ed and trained the cast and who ge-managed the production.
 The limited accommodations of the small stage prevented set tings from being all that was de- sired and detracted somewhat, from

CAPITOL HAS STRONG DRAMA
 IN 'LUMM0x'
Winifred Westover Stars Tn Picture Founded on
 Hurst Novel

'Lummox," a United Artist pie ture, starring Winifred Westovel and showing at the Capitol theatre presents an absorbing theme in au entertaining manner.
 Miss Westover'S characterization of the buxom servant girl, whose little world has been the drab at mosphere of cheap lodging houses, shabby humanity and cruel employ CTS is realistic.
 Despite the cruelness of her little world of dark clouds that the sum- light of happiness and the joy of life seldom penetrate, "Lummox" has kept a wholesome easant beauty and fine, clean philosophy of life, though in her dumb, ox-like way she does not know what phil osophy means.
 Bocx Characters Live
 Persons who read Fannie Hurst's great and daring story from which the photoplay took it's name and theme, will see the characters that they loved and hated in the book live, breathe and talk in the film version of the famous writer's masterpiece.
 It is the story of life itself, a story of woman's sorrow and love for her child-a child whose love she never knew.
 The story of Bertha or "Lum- mox," "Squarehead," of "Lunk," as she is frequently called by those who see in her only hefty, stupid peasant girl, is story as old as civilization because it is human.
 The supporting cast includes Ben Lyon, William Collier, jr., Edna Murphy, Myrtle Stedman, Clara Langsner, Dorothy Janis, Danny O'Shea, William Bakewell, Torbin Meyer, Myrta Bonillas, Cosmo Kyrle Bellew, Lydia Yeamans Titus, Bob- by Ullman, Fan Bourke and Ida Darling.

Constitution was put over for the purpose of abating the evil of poverty. To what extent it has helped, is not for me to say. The purpose was certainly commendalole
 The most common argument ad- vanced nowadays is that reckless spending should be encouraged, be- cause, so it is urged, it is the spender who is the consumer, and the more one consumes the more one stimulates industry.
 Cause of Hard Times
 Be sure of this, 1t is not the indiscriminate spender who is the cause of prosperity. He is the one who is very decidedly the cause of hard times. If all families had enough reserves to enable them to continue as normal spenders at all times, there would be no serious business depression.
 The first remedy suggested is higher wages and shorter hours. But they alone cannot possibly or- iterate the difference between rich and poor. On the contrary, they will increase the gulf between the two classes. Higher wages and shorter hours will give the thrifty better opportunity to accumulate, while the spendthrift will still be in the breadline the moment he is out of a job.
 Always Do Extra Work
 Some men, at the end of an eight-hour shift, go to work build ing house or cultivating a piece of garden; others go joyriding or carousing.
 Tt is now seriously urged that the way to eliminate this classi- fication of humanity into those fi- nancially independent and those fi- nancially dependent, is to have the government provide the latter class with doles or with old age pensions and insurance against un- employment. If any of these meth ods are to be introduced at the expense of the beneficiaries them selves, it is one thing. But If it is to be system by which the saver must support the spendthrifU, it is quite another problem.
 Offends COsmic Laws
 ITO relieve one person of t h e consequence of his own folly, and deprive the other of the fruits of his own industry and intelligence, Is at variance with the cosmic laws under and by means of which all living things exist.
 Tt is persistently proposed, in constantly varying forms, to stop nature from enforcing the law of natural selection In a multitude of different ways it has been pro- posed to place the moron, the de- generate, the profligate, on equality with the thrifty. the intelligent and

ARLISS STARS IN PLAY
 AT COLISEUM
Green Goddess on Sound Screen Excels Stage
 Presentation

Notable acting in an intensely in- terest play sums up presentation of The Green Goddess" starring George Arliss, at the Coliseum the atre.
 This exciting melodrama was one Eof MT. Arliss' greatest stage hits. He played it for three years in New York, one year in London and then made a silent screen version that put him in the front rank of film stars. Now, through the me- dium of talking pictures, he gives his most interesting and colorful performance of the famous role of the villianous Rajah who was also a cultured and lavish host.
 Full of Delicious Humor
 The story is full of delicious hu- nor and tense drama. Where could one find the equal of MT Arliss as the East Indian potentate who ac- quired all the civilized manners and suave sophistication of an Eng fish gentleman but who in his heart hated the civilized people |?
 MT. Arliss receives splendid sup port from the leading members of the cast. Alice Joyce is capable and beautiful as the harassed he- roine. H. B. Warner, one of the finest actors of the talking screen, brings force to the role of Major Crespin, even though it is an un- sympathetic one. Ralph Forbes. favorite of the stage as well as the screen, is fine. Nigel de Bru- Her, an unusual character actor, ap- pears in one of those weird roles for which he is famous.
 Stranded In Himalayas
 The story tells of a group of English people stranded in the wilds of the Himalayas and com- pletely at the mercy of the tribe of uncivilized idol worshippers and their cruel Rajah. The Rajah en- tertains them lavishly and with great charm, even while he pre- pares them for a torturous death. These events lead to climax that is great bit of melodrama.
 The enormous sets are beautiful and form realistic background for the story. Alfred E. Green direct ed,

 Difficult To Explain
 Tt will be difficult to explain how or why it is either Chris tial virtue or a patriotic duty to establish by artificial means con- ditions of that character.
 And now, communism is offered as the equalizing agency. Remove the incentive to accumulate and there will be no capitalists, it is argued. But it is not capital that hurts, but lack of it. And If no one accumulates there will be no capital, for capital, as We know it is what is saved over what is con- sumed. It is the saver and not the consumer we have to thank for capital necessary to keep the in- dustries going.
 Other Problem Is Simpler
 "When in consideration of this leveling out project we pass from the subject of obtrusive poverty to that of obtrusive wealth, the problem becomes simpler Now to help those who refuse to do any, thing for themselves involves more delicate factors than the question Of how to scale down the vast private fortunes honestly accumu- lated by energy and intelligence.
 We have another class of for tunes accumulated through crafty schemes of wheedling hard earned money out of tf> unwary. These need looking after. They have simply been pickpockets on large scale. hope you will have no scruples about absorbing such for tunes by drastic system of taxa tion or otherwise; meanwhile put ting stop to the nefarious traffic by proper legislation.
 Will Press Harder
 "The problem of the improvident and inpecunious will press harder for solution in the future than it has in the past, and will become more ominous with increasing gen. eral prosperity Yours is the task to solve it.
 T have no policy to recommend, no solution to offer. Are you going to inaugurate compulsory saving? Or are you going to compel the proudent to support the improvi- dentP Or are you going to accom- plish the task of letting the race be improved by the slow process of the law of natural selection permitting the profligate to elimi- nate himself.
 Value of Education
 "The great value. of education lies in learning to look for facts and to fearlessly accept them as guides in solving the practical problems of life. Not only do you have to face the old problems which we leave you, but also you have to grapple with many new problems which soon will press for solution. It will require clear heads and true hearts to effectively deal with them. You leave this institution of training with our hopes and cur prayers for your success"

BLACKTOp BOYS
REWARDED BY
HIGHWAY BOARD
Three Choices Are Named
in Bids-BIacktop, Black
top and RIaCktOp.

"Well have to take care CT those
boys is a statement attributed TO
Commissioner Jess Murden Of the
state highway department when he
discussed the valiant fight for the
commission carried on by the So
called "black-top" material inter-
ests at the 1881 legislative session.
Murden. credited with being the
power behind the commission throne
occupied by Director John j.
Brown, would seem to be as good
as his word.
For today it was announced that.
following precedent established on
certain roads last season, bids have
been advertised for three types Of
paving-black-top, black-top, and
black-top.
Three types must be put in the
competition under the law. which
sets out they are to be concrete,
black-top and brick.
The commissioners however, have
cooked up the following three types
of Observation-Disclosures retread,
puddled macadam. and bituminous
coated aggregate. Puddled macadam
is a new specification to PAYERS.
Here are the roads on which they
plan to put black-top:
State road No. % from Madison "a
Versailles. twenty-three miles in Ripley
and Jefferson counties.
State road No. 9. from wollcottvills to
point 81 miles north OF Wolcottviue in
Lagrange county.
State road No. 2s from the Clinton
Howard county line to the junction Of
United States highway No. 81. a distanos
OF o.5 miles in Howard county.
State road No. SO from New Harmony
south distance Of three and one-third
miles. PoSey county.
Pavement of the strip on state road
No 30 will fill the last gap of unpaved
road between Indianapolis and Madison.
