ner, Franchot Tone, in an interest
ing, mildly exciting mystery
romance, THE Unguarded Hour, .
now playing at Loew's.

Miss Young's and Mr.. Tones CO.
starring vehicle is based on play
by the same name by Ladislaus
Fodor, with the English adaptation

quate story for an entertaining
movie of love, blackmail, ambition
and English social life.
Ignores Wife's Intuition
Sir Alan Dearden (Mr. Tone)
leads the states prosecution Of
Metford Dudley Digges), accused OF
numbering his wife by pushing her
over Dover Cliff. Sir Alan ignores
his wife's intuition" that the death
may have been accidental, and
hopes, by establishing his reputs-
ton with successful elimination of
the case, to win a coveted appoint
ment as states attorney.
A day before completion of the
trial, Sir Alan receives a note from
a college sweetheart urging him to
come at once to her home. A brief
scene showing Dianna DogerS
(Aileen Pringle), the for
friend, with a companion, Hugh
Lewis (Henry DanielD tells us the
purpose of the request is to further

Sir Alan, missing christening al

not ably substitutes for him as Cod
father, keeps the appointment, re-
turns with & severely cut hand. We
soon suspect he murdered Dianna
Rogers, and the same suspicion IS
harbored by Scotland Yard.
The Plot Thickens
Then Lady Dearden is subpenaed
to testify in the Metford case. She
reveals she was at the scene of the
alleged murder at Dover Cliff to
keep a rendezvous with black
mailer who threatened publication
of Sir Alan's letters to Dianna
Rogers unless hush money was
forthcoming.
Lady Dearden clears Metford of
the murder charge, but IN doing so

Actors Noted
for Likeness
Boy Meets Girl Company
Team Cause Surprise.

If you think you recognize Ben
Hecht and Charles Macarthur in
the wild pair of scenario writer's
featured in boy Meets Girl" which
opens at English's Monday night,
don't be surprised.
Nearly every one notes the resem-
blance, and it seems that Eric
Dressler plays the Macarthur role,
while Harold Vermilyea is the
"Hechtic" member of the team.
Mr.. Dressler, who is about 30,
withdrew from the cast of the Soviet
hit, "Squaring the Circle" to play
in boy Meets Girl" A Brooklyn
boy whose arithmetic was so bad ne
lost his job as bill collector for a
gas company when II, he attained
prominence by way of music halls
and vaudeville. His parts in hit
plays include those in THE Goose
Hangs High" "Trelawny of the
Wells" Excess Baggage" and
'Lysistrata."
A resemblance to Grant Mitchell
gave Mr.. Vermilyea his start.
George M. Cohan chose him for
Mitchells vacated role in cit Pays
to Advertise" Before trying the
stage, he was secretary to Senator
Owen of Oklahoma and Augustus
Thomas, the playwright. He was a
big success in Tailor Made Man"
Boy Meets Girl" is to be here for
two nights and a Tuesday matinee.
The cast also includes Polly Wal
ters, Nigel Blake, Larry Fletcher
and Irene Winston.

Miss Helen Griffith came with her

Barbara had the thrill of receiving

The young Hawaiian girl learned
the native dance from a 70-year-old
teacher who had taught the sacred
hula dancers of the court.
Miss Eunice Dissette, the incom-

Is to Be Repeated Tonight
on English Theater Stage
Clever SkitS, SkiIIfuI Solo
and Chorus Dancing
Make Up Show.
BY RALPH NORMAN

Through % clever acts of anus
ing ski.s, skillful solo dances and
good chorus dancing, Junior League
ladies and their gentlemen friends
romped last night in the variety
show, Number Please" at Eng
lish's. A repeat performance is to
begin at 8:15 tonight.
Amateur talent and enthusiasm
were combined with a professional
show, good music, attractive cos
tunes and good lighting to make
Number Please" an enjoyable eve
ning's entertainment. The opening
performance was received enthusi-
astically by the audience.
In the Arthur Seelig- Tot
ten coached production, act after
act was run off with far fewer err
rors than one might have expected
IN an amateur show. the chorus
dances we're good and at times ex-
cellent, and seFcral novelty dances
were outsts nding.
Mems Ballet Funny
While we had no fault to find
with the ladies. our vote for the
most amusing scene of the entire
show went to an hilariously funny
ballet dance by a dozen large men,
who did not at all badly with their
tiny ballet steps. What a headache
coaching this dance must have
given Mr.. Totten. He we'll was re-
warded for his efforts, though, with
the ridiculously funny result.
While nearly all the skitS were up
to the high standard set by the
show as whole, four stooges, played
by Mrs. Robert c. Winslow, Mrs.
Frederick Boone, Percy Weer and
William Wildhack, we're responsible
for several of the productions
heartiest laughs.
To reveal the character of most of
the skits would be unfair to tonights
audience. Half the fun of Number
Please" was in the surprises of COM
edy acts and trick dance numbers.
In fact, Mr.. Seelig requested that
not much be Said about the skits
themselves, and VIC agreed that to
be fully enjoyed they should be seen
without warning of what is forth
coming.
Best Dance Numbers
OF the speciality numbers, the best
dancing was by Mrs. Roemler Kin
naird and Carl Vonnegut, Mrs.
Irving Fauvre, and particularly
Elinor Stickney, who alternated be-
tween chorus and solo work. Espe-
cially clever was a cops and con-
victs" dance in which several dancers
went through their routine with
ankles bound by chains.
Among the most enjoyable skits
was a prima donna satirical num-
Der by Mrs. Frank Hoke, accom-
panied at the piano by Mrs. Her
man Wolff. Then there was Tamil,
the educated horse (John Recap
and Daniel McDufee). directed by
Mrs. Kurt Painter. We suspected
the horse didn't do quite all he had
been coached to do, but he did
enough. A two-piano number by
Mrs. John K. Ruckelshaus and Dor
othy Merrill deserved mention, as
did the prettiest chorus dance of the
show, a butterfly ensemble IN which
Mrs. Elijah Martindale was the
premier danseuSe.
In Number Please" Messrs. Seelig
and Totten have a good show, in
its production Junior League men,
bers and friends have an entertain
ing offering their audiences can en-
Joy and at the same time contribute

Senate Group Boosts
Army Budget

WASHINGTON - Army a%ppropria-
tons for 1887 now being considered in
the Senate make an interesting study
for the taxpayer. When the appro-
priation bill passed the House on Feb
ruary IA it provided the sum of $545,-
226,3l8. 1t increased the enlisted
strength Of the army to 10000 and
added 1000 ROTC officers for one
year of training.
The bill was then considered by the
Senate Appropriations Committee
which suggested the addition of $685.
.0042S6. This raises the grand total
provided in the bill to $603, 230,604. The
Committee further recommended an
increase in army enlisted strength to
10000 and a National Guard increase
of 5000. Further changes may be
made by the Senate before the bill
reaches its final form.
Survey reveals that the grand total
of $603, 230,604 which the Senate is nov
considering exceeds the 1886 a%ppropri-
alton by over $lS0,0O0,OO0 and the
budget estimate for 1887 by more than
$~30,OO0,0OO.

The Less You Have the Richer
You Are

One Of our modern economists and s~tatisti-
clans claims to be worried because of the failure
of the great accumulated shortages of foodstuff
and goods and great accumulated SURPRISES of
capital to stimulate business to bring prosperity.
People living in the middle of the Sahara Des-
et would have a right to worry and they would
worry, providing they had never attended econ
omic classes in an American college, if the desert
land all of a sudden became productive, rain fell
in abundance, and there was more than enough
food for everybody, yet the people were all hun
cry and naked.
We wonder if it possible that so much com
mon sense has been educated out of the econo-
mic professors in this country that they actu-
ally do believe the less you have, the Weather
YOU should be; the more rain, the more drou-
gnts; and the more drought, the more floods we
should expect. They tell us that idle funds have
become SO large that interest rates are so low
that the burden of usury is so light we are
likely to lose our fiancial footing, and yet money
is so scarce that land, the basis Of all wealth, is
not even good security for a decent-sized loan.
For some reason or other our college-bred
economists and statisticians won't understand
lHab lNAC Abil4o " dNDbo l4ldA WNAC NlCdlSQ Jul
ing the initiation that never will be collected in
dollars and cents, Notwithstanding the fact that
recently our Treasury-offered securities were
over-subscribed five (Or was it Skip times.
There is one great hope shared by the Opt
mists in America with reference to the top
heavy load that is being built by the subscribers
Of Treasury securities, and that is that it will
sooner or later tumble the whole caboodle re-
sponsible for the modern Tower OF Babel down
to the bottom with the rest of us. Of course
this will cause another confusion Of something
or other, and probably put us on the right road
to production for use instead of building a Tow
er of Babel to stop from getting drowned by
floods Of prosperity created by a planned scar
city.
Progressive Miner

of physically strong men he would have been
trampled under foot; but in the rotten game Of
profit he became a potentate. Capitalism has
always placed a premium on crookedness, cruel
ty and conniving. In this dirty game the one
who was the dirtiest was bound to win. Capt.
talism thus became a monstrous perversion in
which the best adapted" instead Of the best
were capable Of surviving. Human beings with
dissimilar characteristics were condemned to ex-
t~inction.
Carrying this diabolical creed over into our
own era, the modern exploiters still insist on
their legitimate incomes regardless of the fact
that they and their unfair and iniquitous system
have already drained the world dry. 1t was one
thing to pile up colossal fortunes in a rich, I'M
developed and under-populated land; it is quite
another thing to insist on even greater returns
in a country over-equipped with power machin-
cry and with sixteen million techno-logically I'M
employed workers lowering on the thin edge of
starvation, and with practically a third of the
entire population living on relief. The attitude
of the Louisville landowners is characteristic of
the attitude of the entire parasite class: 1--WE
are the fit. Let the slum-dwelers rot in the
slums, let the unemployed remain jobless - let
them starve; this is the capitalistic law of sur
vival,"
AS long as this type Of survival is recognized
as a natural law, it is also considered natural
and eminently just for the HAYES to hold on to
what they've got and get as much more as they
can. The have-nots can shift for themselves.
Naturally, the Tory individualist resents any at
tempt to make him conform to a planned social
order. The mistake OF such political liberals as
F. D. R, is that they credit the avaricious para
site with too much sense to kill the goose that
lays the golden egg. That is, in a nut shell, all
that liberalism asks. But the diehard Tory ex-
ploiter is different. When it comes to profits,
he is as blind as a bat to social or other conse-
quences.

Iceland And British
Imperialism

Iceland is virtually controlled by
British finance capital, the direct in
vestment of Britain through loans be-
ing about IA million. The powerful
British oil trusts, "ShelP and anglo
Persian" British Petroleum Company
have built large tank stations in Ice
land to be used for supplying British
steamers in case of war. These trusts
%monopolize the market and CONTROL
lcelandic fisheries. British coal trusts
have II per cent of the coal markets.
Bowriug & Company, another British
corporation has possession of all the
fishmeal factories. By making mem
bers Of parliament in Iceland members
and directors of these various trusts,
service in their behalf is assured. Last
year, as a condition for a new loan,
the Bank of England prohibited the
lcelandic government from making
other loans or guarantees without its
permission.
Iceland holds a strategic position in
time OF war as a food store (the richest
fishing grounds in the world, as a port
for warships and as an aviation base.
The Trans-American Airlines Corpora
ton in the United States has obtained
permission from Iceland to build an
airport there. Great Britain, however,
has forbidden Denmark to grant this
company a corresponding license in
Greenland, which is necessary in order
that the Icelandic %airports be of use.
Other countries, notably, Germany and
Italy, have also made air expeditions
over Iceland.
Internally, Iceland, with a population
of only 10000 has a total national
wealth" of about $~50,000,000, one-half
of which is owed to foreign capital.
Ninety per cent of the population is
poor, the average income Of a worker
being $500 to 800 a year.
