Officials make no secret of the fact that had rail embargoes been declared in the first place the industrial closing order would not have been issued. The embargoes were placed at the ( urgent request of the Fual Administration, which contended that the effects, of the closing order would be nullified by weather conditions unless the step were taken. Officials of the railroad administration believe a return of good weather speedily will restore the transportation system and that this will solve the fuel problem. They say that the Monday closing has disorganised industrial activities and actually has hampered railroad operation by making it impossible to load and unload cars promptly. Fuel Administrator Garfield has not been ready to revoke the closing order, despite the great amount of pressure brought to bear by commercial interests, until assured that the embargos would be continued. Since he now has this assurance as a result of the conference today he is prepared to rescind the order if reports 0 rroro state fuel administrators show that the closing .already effected has served its purpose.

AMUSEMENTS

MURRAY

Charles Gunn, who plays opposite Olive Thomas in her lateest Triangle play. "Betty Takes a Hand " at the Murray theatre today, is complaining of a lapse of memory. Mr. Gunn was told the "location" when he left the studio, but the pleasure of motoring drove everything but the house number from his mind. The number was 2218 but the street was gone. Then came a flash of intelligence. The street was the name of some college. He found three, Oxford, Harvard and Cambridge. Being a sleuth, Gunn decided in favor of elimination and as Harvard always was his favorite college, he trieed 2218 Harvard first. The last guess, Oxford, brought him to the location after he had covered almost the entire city la only two short hours.

One of the most pretentious film offerings ever presented at the Murray theatre will make its initial appearance there Wednesday when Mary Plckford is seen in her newest Artcraft picture, "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm." . "Little Mary" with her effervescent youth, her' genuine comedy and her wonderful knowledge of dramatic technique, is the ideal person to immortalise the little girl of the New England village, who though dominated by two crabbed old aunts, does not permit it to crush her spirits. In her two recent Artcraft productions. "A" Romance of the Reedwoods" and "The Little American, "Mary Pickford was seen in the first, as a girl transported from New England to the rigors and hardships of California in the days of 49, a story of intense grippring drama. In "The Little American," her great patriotic triumph, she was a young lady, with her hair done up and showed that she had all the equipment of a great actress in the powerful cinema play. The bombardment scenes of "The Girl Philippa," the special eight-reel V'itagraph production from the novel by Robert W. Chambers, which was directed by S. Rankin Drew, starring America's daintiest actress, Anita Stewart, are remarkably vivid and realistic. For the realism of this picture which is the attraction at the Murray theatre on Sunday, the Vitagraph company erected a French village in their immense open-air studio. Here cobble stones were laid for the street, skirted on either side by the rough sidewalks before the quaint two-story houses with the gable roofs. In the center of the public square they placed the fountain which sings a happy song of peace, and cantentment in the first part of the picture as it tinkles into the large stone basin.

"Tro' up yer hands and be blamed quick," was the greeting which brought Allan Corey, author, and Esther Hoilister, owner of the Rancho Verde, out of their happy reverie, in the Triangle play, "Up or Down?" at Murrette Theatre on Sunday. Four rifle barrels gleamed a sinister warning at them from the roadside. They had ridden into an ambush. Up went corey's hands in terror and Esther with a look of contempt at her escort, followed suit. There was nothing else to do, for she could not, single-handed, put up a fight against four bandits. The warning was sounded and riders carried the word from cow ranch to cow ranch that Esther Hollister, of the Rancho Verde, had been robbed by "Texas" Jack and three outlaws of his gang. The ranchers scoured the country but lost the trail of the four horses in a dash which led straight to the desert.

'Stolen Hours,' the new WorldPicture Brady-Made in "which Ethel Clayton is starred, is a delightful movie treat. It presents this popular star in one of the most charming and appealing roles in which she has ever appeared. It is a story of Iondon, of a young man who is in Parliament and who is achieving a tremendous political success, and a beautiful young girl who has been up amongst the roughest sort of associates by her father, who is a professional gambler. It Is a story of romantic love in Modern surroundings, a story of love that counts love the biggest thing in life. The Washington theatre has secured "Stolen Hours" for showing on Sunday. See this attraction. You will enjoy it. A new William Fox photoplay is announced for Monday at the Washing-

Gardner risks life in filming of the "Gift O' Gab" at the Murrette today. Jack Gardner, former favorite of the musical comedy stage, star of Essanay Western thrillers and now being featured by Essanay in the comedy drama, "Gift O' Gab," enters the athlete class when it comes to etrenuosity. Following a football game in which Jack is the hero, the strenuous star and his college chums indulge in a celebration that gets the village constable on their trail. Jack is driving a cab, but forsakes it when the chase becomes too warm for the top of an automobile. From there he jumps to the roof of a moving street car; from the car to the top of another trolley moving in the opposite directioR; drops off the back end and makes a run for a viaduct from which he drops onto a freight train. There the constable catches up with him and a tussle take3 place and the official and Jack come near falling off. Later in the story he stages a fist fight with a college enemy that sent the latter to a hospital. Then comes a real boiler explosion with Jack on the scene and really taking chance of losing life or limb. His stunts are unusually realistic and are made so because the former

The third Goldwyn Picture starring Mae Marsh is "The Cinderella Man," from the famous play by Edward Childs Carpenter, which was a leading Broadway hit when produced in the regular theatre by Oliver Morosco. It is the story of a young heiress, Marjorie Caner, who is so much touched by the account given by her father's lawyer of a young poet, Anthony Quintard, who is starving in a garret at the other end of the block, that she undertakes to bring him food and comforts over the roofs. Her trips to the garret are made during Quintard's absence; but one day he catches her. He suspects that she is the millionaire's daughter, and is about to evict her because, as a Socialist, he has no use for persons who are "filthy rich," when she tells him she is just Marjorie Caner's companion, Miss Mudge. So he suffers her to remain, aud presently she volunteers to help him by typewriting liis opera libretto which has
