/"‘T | I iu [ Oulem othorwioe tndica ®T4en Wy orem egencier for GOOD BILL AT STRAND Tonight is the last showing at the Strand of Victor McLaglen in “Cap- tain Lash” and a great program of vaudeville, On Thursday the entire show changes and brings a super-excellent vaudeville program headed by Pat Henning. Broadway's versatile star; the Girls of tiie Golden West, with the Six Whoopee Girls in songs and music; Dainty Marie, the physical culture beauty and her company in a riot of laughter in a reducing siudio; Les Mann and Co., in & rea! novelty, and Julia Curtiss, the inim- itable mimie. A remarkable study in the effect of fear upon a man and how it can change his entire life is shown in “Man, Woman and Wife,” the Uni- versal picture coming to the Strand theater Thursday, with Norman Kerry as the star, supported by Paul- me Starke in the leading feminine role. It is a combination war and un- derworld storw showing how haunt- ing fear of injury can cause a man to turn yellow at crucial moments. Kerry plays the role of a young so- cial lion who marches away to war with high hopes, leaving a beautiful bride confident in his heroic quali- ties. But in his breast there lurks the sced of fear and cowardice that ripens to malignant flower in the heat of battle. His actions in the of the cnemy change his entire life and send him, upon his return 10 America, into the underworld and down to the gutter.

The Daily Mail said that the rebels did not approve of King Inayatullah, Amanullah's succeasor, anymore than they did of h younger brother. The Daily Express said that a grim and ferocious battle was turn- ing Kabul into a shambles, Rachal Sakao, the rebel commander, refus- edto regard the abdication as rea- son for laying down his arms. The British residency, where Sir Francis Humphrey's British minis- ter, and his staff were stationed was in the line of fire. The occupants were in peril from shells. Sir Fran- cis, nevertheless, watched the pro- gress of the battle from the roof of the building with field glasses and sent his impreasions of the sit- uation by radio, One suggestion was that the rea- son that the fighting continued was that Bachai S8akao himself had his eyes on the throne.

There have been official disclaim- ers of reporta that Colonel Lawrence was in any way connected with Af- ghan affairs.

The enginecrs held that the true measure of industry's capacity to utilize labor Is not the number of men and women at work nor the number of days they work but the number of hours they work.
