This together with better ma chinery has greatly reduced the num- } ber of men employed. Production per | mar. has incre d fifty to one hun- dred per cent thru these methods. Workers are guaranteed only forty hours per we so the majority re- ceive between seventeen and twenty dollars, which is a starvation wage especially when one considers that most men employed in these industries have large families. Besides, fully one-third of those employed work: on the average only six months each| year. In the butcher’s department at Ar- mours, men are encouraged to exert themselves to the utmost by bonuses of thirty-three to ninety cents per week. Similar methods are used in the other plants to increase produc- tion. The many improvements in the technique of the machinery has sub- stantially increased the number of | women employed. They are receiving twelve to fourteen dollars per week for work men were formerly re-civ- ing eighteen to twenty dollars. Con- | sequently they are taking the place} of men in many departments. There are five large plants here and on the average about one thous- | and me pply at their gates in vain | for work each morning.

The Norse dramatist was a fighter. n the play which Walter Hamp- i Hampden’s e he defi proclai ny are few always right > doctrine that wrong and the Richard Str ricatured the German music crit n “Ein Helden- leben” by a prodigious orchestral snarling and snapping. Ibsen in “An Enemy of the People” represented the press as time serving and utilitarian, afraid to tell the truth when truth will offend subscribers and advertis- authority and influence. Ibsen wrote this comedy at white} heat, but even so with a lighter pen| than he used in any other of his plays. | | t is entirely objective and satirical, with far more comedy than would have been expected of the author of “Rosmersholm” and “Ghosts.” The| jstorm of obloquy which broke about| his head after the production of} “Ghosts” drove him to work at once, so that instead of taking two years over the play, as was his wont, he finished it in less than eight months. The big scene in “An Enemy of the People” is in the fourth act when Dr. Stockmann faces his irate fellow citi- zens and tells them to their teeth how low their average intelligence is. Af- ter speaking of what he considers} the “colossal stupidity of the author-| ities” of which his brother, the Bur- gomaster, was a “magnificent exam- ple,” Dr. Stockmann says: “T shall say no more about our leading men. For I cherish the com- |fortable conviction that these lag- gards, these relies of a decaying der of thought, are diligently cutting their own throats.” That was Ibsen’s answer to those who in his own day and time con- demned “Ghosts” and his later even jmore searchingly psychological | dramas. Ibsen further developed this doc- ltrine in his private writings. In a letter to George Brandes, written shortly after “An Enemy of the Peo-| ple” was finished, he said: “As to ‘An Enemy. of the People,’ hie we had a chance to discuss it I think we should come to a tolerable, agreement, You are, of course, right) lin urging that we must all work for} {authors of “Tenth Avenue.” the spread of our opinion, But I| |maintain that a fighter at the intel-| lectual outposts can never gather a 2 Ropeninneinen ON THE SCREEN | “Three Wax oe : “Three Wax Men” is a picture im- | ported from Germany and Paul Leni,| ..2.00| the master director, is responsible] | of Roi Cooper Megrue, with Lew Cody for it.

The story is made up of three 1,00} imaginary tales from the lines of | Reynolds, Haroun Al Raschid, Ivan the Ter-| rible, and Jack-the-Kipper, played re- spectively by Emil Jannings, Conrad | Veidt and Werner Kraus. Although it seemed to us that the "\1,00 | aforesaid three tales were perhaps a Adams are the other players. bit too fantastic, they are neverthe- less masterfully played, incomparably | lighted and simple enough to capti- vate even the most critical. Jannings is seen in an unusual role which he portrays delightfully. Emil as a bouffant comedian was both a sur- prise and a treat. No less deserv- z of mention is Conrad Veidt as he Terrible. 5 ‘Screen Notes==|| Chaplin in picture, “Cab Things” and “Moonlight hoven’s melody interpreted in ‘color, will also be shown.
