Here is a splendid example of a perfect vehicle for Miss Ben- nett’s talenfs and personality. A| strong drama in itself, it is made doubly so by the presence of Joel McCrea and Paul Lukas in roman- tic leads. | “Rockabye,” current at the Coli- seum Theatre, is a powerful drama in which it is revealed that a sin- ner-and-saint girl has two ways| of loving. One love is just a pas- sionate pastime. The other love is| deathless and capable of great sac-| rifices because it arouses the moth- | er instinct—because she wants the| man to be husband and father, not | just a lover. | Judy Carroll, an actress, learns| how smart it is to be good only after she is embroiled in a front, page scandal. This scandal robs| her of Tilybet, an adopted orphan,| taken from her because of her sud- den notoriety. After Lilybet has| been torn from her Miss Bennett's scene with her motfher, the ter- rible “Snooks” whose only virtue is her love for “muddy’s own baby girl,” is one you may long remem- ber for its poignant simplicity and | naturalness | When this wound is somcwhnt: healed Judy meets Jake Pell, au- thor of “Rockabye,” a play she has| set her heart on doing, despite the | insistence of De Sola, her mana- ger, that ft is too parallef to cer- tain things in her own past that| ‘had best be forgotten. But Judy falls in love with Pell— seriously, truly, divinely—and it is the qu of her love that brings| out the nobility in Judy and brings “Rockabye” to a tremendous and tear-compelling finish. Jobyna Howland rates special mention for her performance of| “Snooks.” Others in the cast are J. M. Kerrigan, Clare Blandick. Charles Middleton, Walter Pidgeon, Walter Catlett and-litfle June Fil-| mer. e | DOUGLAS | NEWS PROGRESSIVE DINNER ENGAGES YOUNG PEOPLE Twelve couples, including most of the young people of Douglas, enjoyed a progressive dinner party vesterday afternoon. Starting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Langfeldt, they arrived after the| | various stages of the affair at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Marcus Jen- sen for the ‘wind-up. — .- COAL SHIPMENT ARRIVES With 134 tohs of Utah coal for Douglas, the Depere docked here Saturday evening and spent most of the night unloading the ship- ment into the city bunkers. ——e — KENDLER RECOVERS After spendng a couple of days in St. Ann's hospital undergoing treatment for a bad cold, George Kendler returned to his home here yesterday. WGMEN DEMOCRATS TO MEET TONIGHT IN COUNCIL HALL At 8 o'clock this evening all women of Gastineau Channel who are interested in the organization of a Democratic Women'’s Club, are |to meet at the Council Chambers of the Ciay Hall when the organi- zation will take place, officers el- ected and a constitution and by- laws presented for adoption. Growing interest on the part of women in matters pertaining to] government and current problems | as they are being dealt with by the present administration is the| principal reason for the organiza- tion of the club. Many women in this vicinity have expressed the desir® for a more thorough under- standing of Democratic principles 'and the momentous problems of today so that they could take an active and intelligent part in the government, and it is hoped to have a large and representative turnout at the meeting tonight.

A wet and late spring would hold thé grasshoppers at least partly under control, but on the other hand, it is pointed out that favor- able weather would result in disas- ter.
