'The Ziegfeld Follies of 1884,"

engagement in Atlantic City
OH May 26 instead of May 18, as
recently announced, it was said
yesterday by Florenz Ziegfeld.
AS the result of complaints
made to it, the Better Business
Bureau is investigating the meth

the management of "An Amer

Waldorf Theater, it was said at
the bureau.
The complaints charged that
what were ostensibly passes to
the theater had been distributed
to play-goers, who, on arrival at
tie theater, had been asked to
pay a tax of rs cents for or
chestra seats and so cents for
balcony locations.
At the Waldorf Theater last
night it was said that the man.

dislike his generally obstreperous,
bumptious style will find him
less annoying in this film than
heretofore, if that's any comfort.
The story has been radically
revised from the stage version,
the current economic depression
being utilized.
Haines, a pants presser in a
little tailor shop, by purloining
cne mans dress suit and another

MOVIE STARS
NOT KEEN FOR
LONG HAIR
By HARRISON CARROLL
Copyright 1881. Premier
Syndicate. Incl

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, April 81.
Feminine stars are not succumb-
ing easily to the new mode of
long hair.
So far as I can discover, Loretta
Young, Betty Compson and Lois
Wilson are the only three cinema
beauties who are definitely COM
mitted to growing full-length
treSses. OF course, number of
feminine stars never yielded to
the scissors. At Universal. Gene
vive Tobin. Rose Hobart and Sgd
ney Foxe all have long hair. Ann
Harding, Dolores Costello, Bar
bara Stanwyck, Eleanor Board
man are others who have held
out for the old mode.
A good many feminine players
are compromising upon shoulder
length. This is convenient, be-
cause it allows a coiffure of either
style. It also makes the wearing
Of wigs much more comfortable.
Norma Shearer, Greta Carlo,
Joan Crawford, Constance Ben
nett, Helen Twelvetrees, Lilyan
Tashman all follow this style.
Among the prominent stars
who have no intent of changing
their bobS are Mary Pickford,
Ina Claire, Norma Talmadge,
Dorothy Mackaill and Leila
Hyams. Wynne Gibson even plans
to discard her long tresses for a
bob.
TOuche!
The motion picture publicity
men, who are known as the
Wampas, came pretty much of a

THE Virtuous Husband" is the
story of the love-life and court
ship of a clam, which, through
some freak of nature, was given
the form and potentialitieS of a
man, without the necessary COM
mon sence or human brains 10
know how to use them.
Love Again Is Blind
The clam falls in love with and
woos a beautiful young girl, and
size in turn falls in love with him;
proving conclusively that love is
al least half blind.
They get married, but their
troubles are just beginning. For
the clam is still under the medi-
eval influence of letters written
and willed to him by his deceased
mother, who must also have keen
fish of some sort.
However, the friends and rela-
tives of the young couple unite to
rid the bridegroom of this sinister
enchantment. and toward the end
Of the picture, the clam really be-
gins to show signs of a Gawning

though fewer wage cuts have been
reported during the past week. four
new strikes have been called in
Chicago, Pittsburgh, Columbia, S.
c., and New York because Of cuts
in the wages Of drivers, upholster-

Three more strikes are pending,
one because of wage cuts, one be-
cause Of a low wage scale, and the
other because contractors on a fed

Three wage cut controversies have

Wage cuts for builders working

RTNUTT and Cravens" will,
1F1 from the indications at the
Madison love feast Wednesday night,
be the rallying cry Of the r. Earl
Peters contingent in the Demo-
cratic state convention Of 1892.
Boom 20 nominate the veteran
Democratic leader, "Uncle Joe" Cra-
vens for Lieutenant-Governor was
launched by William Storen, state
treasurer. Whoever conceived the
plan showed political cleverness.
To back Cravens for q place on
the ticket should strengthen Peters
considerably in the southern part
Of the state, where the veteran leg
islator is held in high esteem. He
was the favorite son candidate for
the nomination for Governor in
1924.
True to his innate courtesy,
''Uncle Joe," presiding over the din
ner, gaveled down the applause
which greeted the announcement
because he could not permit such
a movement to begin there.
Z
What a feather in the cap it
would be for Peters to have the
veteran swing to his side. Cravens
has in the past lined up with the
opposition to the state chairman,
but if he could be induced to join
the McNutt ticket, Peters would be
sure Of reelection as state chair
man and N1cNutt Of being nomi-
mated.
AS was expected, the Indiana uni
versity dean was the fair-haired boy
at the rally. He was given a rous-
ing reception while polite and
courteous applause" greeted Frank
Mayr Jr., secretary Of state, who,
rurnor has it, is being groomed by
the South Bend group for the gov
ernorship.
McNutt has the advantage over
Mayr in that he makes an excellent
political address, while the secretary
of state has not one bit Of orator
ical talent
Mayr was accompanied to the
new Ninth district rally by three of
his political supporters, Grover Gar
rett, state police chief; James w.
Carpenter, auto license department
superintendent, and William P
O'Neill, securities commissioner.
If the rally was planned as a
movement to soHdify and strength
en- the Peters, IcNutt support, it
may be said to have been very sue
cessful.
That is, if Uncle Joe" will con-
sent to become a candidate for
Lieutenant Governor.
