The laboring man works for a
small wage, then when work is over
it means he must ask help from the
trustees. If laborers were paid fair
wages when they work, they could
save some for when there is no
work. Father CoughIIn does not
want a third party but honest poll
tics. I am sorry you do not agree
with Father Coughlin but think
we need more men like him.

Now you are gone I fail to see
The little things that made you
real.
I've put you under lock and key;
Under my heart beats dripping
seal.
You stand upon pedestal,
Wrapped round with tear-drops
Of my dreams.
You are a knight that never fell.
Your eyes are true; your armor
CLEANS.

Oh. do not take away from me
This splendid knight. to let me learn

hope other veterans will see this
and will sacrifice for a cause that
is just, as I am willing to do, before
the army is organized and with their
children go to Washington and leave
them on the Capitol steps and ask
Mr.. Roosevelt and his supporters to
support them. We can't do it. We
have exhausted our endurance in
the attempt.
If they will do this, we will ask
nothing more.

morning. Well, it would seem that
Greta Carlo has actually resigned
with Metro-G oldwyn-Mayer after
all, which has after all been the
usual Carlo stunt for the past
ten years. She gets everyone into
pandemonium, thinking there
will be no re-signature and that
she will return to Sweden, and
then they wave a very fancy con-
tract in her face with plenty of
dough, so she stays. BY the by,
La Belle G. has been on a shop
ping spree the last couple of days,
not buying Stacks and tailored
suits as is her want, but very
feminine clothes. Maybe she's
going to change her type, step out
of her cocoon, and come right out
in public as the clinging vine type.

ical requirements of the RomoeS

Since Francot Tone burst forth
with some very fancy acting in

authority than Charles Laughton

A Shriner

What causes that double

envelopes the musical visage Of
Phil Lampkin?
The portsided conductor Of the
Loew's Fox Theater orchestra is
the happiest man in the Capital

in the sparkling new emblem of
the Shriners that graces his coat
lapel.
Phil was one of the large class
who was indicted into the high
est tribunal of Masonry the other
evening. It marks the realiza-
ton Of a goal he has dreamed
of for many, many years and
the most thrilling achievement of
his life. Phil AYERS.
Phil Lampkin will wave his port
sided baton over the Loew'S Fox
Theater orchestra, starting Fri
day, and lead his musical bench"
men through an overture embody-
ing typically American melodies.

put On Your Old Gray Bonnet"
and other similarly themed songs
that are generally accepted as
epitomizing a spirit distinctly
native, will be included in this
musical treat that Phil has labeled

Barrymore In
'DecIasse'

No player that has come to US
in the course of the present theat-
rical season has been more vel
come than Ethel Barrymore, one
Of the foremost actresses of the
American theater.
Additional Importance and in
terest, however, attaches to her
coming engagement at the Ma
tional Theater the week beginning
Monday, June 3, since she is to
be seen in a play in which her
success has become an important
item of theatrical history-this is
"Declasse," the play by Zoe Atkins
in which Miss Barrymore ap-
peared for one entire season at
the Empire Theater, New York.
Miss Barrymore'S role in Miss
Atkins play is one Of the kind in
which the enormous and devoted
Barrymore following loves best to
see her. Moments Of the exquisite
and inimitable Barrymore comedy
appear. only to make more poign-
ant and appealing the numerous
scenes of serious and emotional
import, in which Miss Barrymore
has no equal.
The actress is seen as an arts
tocratic young Englishwoman OF
fine British family and environ
ment to whom, through no fault
of her own save an unusual and
amusing recklessnesS, unhappy
circumstances bring matrimonial
disaster.
The play holds the box-office,
and that means playgoerS' devo'
ton for all of Miss Barrymore's
engagements at this theater.

brazen characters she portrays on
the screen. Unless you exempt her
vaudeville appearances. No, Mae
West is type actress. And the
demand for that type is still evil

What Paramount must do IS dip
deep into the story reservoir and

But Milo Anderson, an au'
