1t is quite likely that the eminent
Mr.. Riley would enjoy the vigor that
she puts into the life of Annie the
orphan.
In rising to place which justifies
the blaZoning of her name in big,
bright letters over the entrance to
the theater, Miss Green has not neg
lected the younger candidates for
fame. In this production she is
accompanied through the several
scenes by Buster Phelps as Mickey,
another orphan, and the two display
a juvenile friendship, enlivened by
some harsh experiences in various
places, including an orphan asylum
and a home of wealth to which the
bov has been taken by adoption,
which provides emotional reactions
and the humorous incidents of
imaginative childhood. May Rob-

company as the woman who adopts
the boy. and displays uneXampled
forbearance when her distinguished
home suffers from the masqueraoing
of unlimited guests and their raids
upon the table of food which has
been prepared for an evening party.
Not the least of the members of the
company is the remarkably trained
dog which Hollywood has supplied as
a companion of the children. There
is much good acting by the two
childhood companions, and also by
other members Of the cast, among
whom are Kate Lawson, Matt Moore,
Sidney Bracey and Edgar Kennedy
There are several excellent short

among them genuine comedy by

"One Way Passage"
An Entertaining Film.
THE virtues of lone Way Passage"

excellent entertainment.
Robert Lords story Of couple,
whose romance begins and ends over
two cocktail glasses-of two people

vigorating romance before taps" is
called on them-is a film In mil
lion-poSsibly two million. Even If
the beginning is better than the
ending, and If it is sort of too bad
to realize the bitterness Of the ulti-
mate tragedy, it Is all handled with
such taste and restraint that what
could easily have been a second-rate
vehicle, sentimental, sad and sloppy,
becomes one of the better picture
endeavors of the season.
The cast is particularly choice.

Hugh, who steals a good quarter of
the picture, and Warren Hymer,

contribute characterizations which
stand out long after the film has
faded. The gist of most of their
crooked, amusing selves Is an anus
ing gist, and their endeavors to do

What. happens is that a girl who
has only three weeks to live, and
man, who is condemned to death,
meet at the famous bar in Hong
kong. They meet again on the boat
going back to San Francisco. They
fall in love. That is the story.
A simple, direct treatment of it,
bound up with minor incidents of
amusing criminals and the ways and
means of their trade particularly
Mr.. McHugh's trade), makes this
continually interesting and often
highly amusing. 1t should not be
missed.
On the stage that much-loved

as grand a troup2r now as she was

Of children born is greater than
the total number of periods Of
childbirth.
There are various ways Of CAL
culating the death rates of in
fants. In some European coun-
tries the birth is not reported as
a live birth unless the child lives
until it is baptized.
This may not be for several days.
Obviously, such calculation is nn
to be compared with one in which
every child dying at birth is called
a death or every child dying within
the first week is called a dead
birth.
Expert statisticians have found
that the race of the mother, her
occupation, her economic status,
the age at which her first child is
born, the period elapsing between
two births and similar factors
are of the greatest Importance.

A Good Citizen

The state loses much in the untimely passing Of
Robert NJ. Feuste head OF the insult utilities in In
diana.
His management Of those interests introduced a
and hopeful note, reminiscent Of his early train
ing under the elder La Follette in which he had
gained social outlook and real desire to substitute
honesty and plain speaking for the subetes Of secret
conferences.
As far was within his power, he threw aside the
old traditions and customs and really tried to settle
the problems in the open.
No one questioned his integrity Of purpose He in
herited much that evil in utility management. He
was attempting successfully to rid the industry ne
represented Of those evils
No one doubted his sincerity when he often de-
elared that he asked for nothing except open dis
cusson Of utility problems and decision that rested
upon the merits OF his cause That his at times
FLASHED with those who had opposing thoughts as
to public rights was to be expected.
But il is to his everlasting credit that he attempted
10 balance the rights OF the public with what he be-
leved to be his duty to the investors in the enter
prises which he managed.
Were all the public utilities managed by men
with the fairness and the outlook Of Robert Feustel
The problems would be much more easily solved
His interest in public affairs in aviation and in the
sraa was ever upon the side of progress and Of de-
,ency. His influence was great because Of his posi-
ion Of power His finest epitaph is written in the
sorrowng hearts or friends, who esteemed and re-
ypected him even when they disagreed with his views
Few men in this state could leave such legacy Of
friendship so rich a memory, sincere a sorrow at

are death rates Of mothers in the
country.
II the age OF the mother at the
first childbirth is more than 25
years. and If she has on the aver
age less than three children. she
will run a greater danger of death
in childbirth than when the first
and other childbirths occurred at
an earlier period in her life.
Tendency in modern times is for
women to wait longer for marriage
and for the birth of a first child
than previously. DR.. Emerson says
that in some OF our modern states
within the last five years one-third
of all deaths OF mothers in child
birth have occurred among rather
elderly women who died with the
first child.
The most important point made
in his analysis is the demonstra-
ton that it is impossible to COM
pare the rates for the United
States With those of other coun-
tries because of the difference in
methods of recording figures.
DR.. Emerson is convinced that
two-thirds Of the deaths in child
birth are preventable. Toward
such prevention every possible eff
fort should be applied
