1AB0R MEN LOBBYING FOR HOME RULE BILL; ARMORY IS OPPOSED

Verne Pentecost and Richard Strohm, representatives of the Central Labor Council, went to Indianapolis Thursday, to lobby for the Home Rule till. Frank Irwin, president of the body, attended a called meeting of the State Federation of Labor at Indianapolis, to discuss the State Constabulary bill. Motorization of the city street cleaning department is not favored at the present time, according to opinions expressed at the meeting Wednesday night. The organization believes that because of the bond issues of nearly $400,000 to be put on the market for light plant improvements and the Seventh street sewer system, further issues should be deferred until later. They are not, however, opposed to motorization, Itself. Oppose Armory. Organized labor is against organization of a national guard company and the erection of an armory. Members said that they considered the expense unnecessary, and that if the county has $25,000 o $30,000 to put into an armory, it would be much better to contribute the money toward the erection of a county memorial building which could be used as a community center. The armory, they contend, could be used for nothing else, while a memor ial building would prove a benefit for many organizations and occasions. As each county has a sheriff with full powers to swear in deputies at an emergency, the council holds that the expense to maintain a national guard unit and armory is waste. Community night will be obser d by the body Wednesday night, Feb. 16. Several outside speakers will be secured for the meeting. The Theatres V WASHINGTON "If Guy Bates Post has done nothing else, and, needless to say, he lias done countless things for the uplift of the tiramatic arts, he has perfected the art of dying to such a degree that when "The Masquerader" is forgotten, the name of Post will be immortalized lor his powerful death scene in the play." So wrote a celebrated New York critic of the ?reat artist's superb passing out in "The Masquerader" which is to be presented at the Washington. When "John Chilcote", one of the two parts portrayed by Post in the drama, dies from an over-dose of morphia, Post is seen at his best and has reached the acme of his arL This, however, is only one of numerous compelling dramatic scenes in "The Masquerader", in which Past gives one of the most finely drawn characterizations ever seen on the American stage. He is supported by a splendid company of artists. MURRETTE A characterization unique in the history of both stage and screen is the role of a dumb paralytic, enacted by Marc. MacDermott during the last act of "While New York Sleeps." a vivid screen melodrama, booked for the Murrette Theatre. This picture is a Fox Special and is regarded by many critics as the most sensational of its kind ever made. Owing to the nature of his role in the epipode referred to. Mr. MacDermott is compelled to carry on his own part of the conversation and to register the many emotions his part requires solely through the medium of his eyes. Tenderness, fear, amazement, parental love, surprise, interest, anguish and horror are expressed by the player's eyes as he beholds the romance and tragedy that takes place in the Saturday Feb. 5th Men's Fibre Silk Hose, 2 for 75c 32-inch Kiddie Cloth now 32c One lot of Men's Dress Shirts 89c 45c quality Dress Gingham, per yard 18c

squalid room where he sits helpless i the livelong day. The spectator who watches this remarkable picture invariably finds himself amazed to learn how accurately thoughts can be expressed by the eyes and upper part of the face. Although this picture is heralded as the most thrilling melodrama of its time, i is said to be entirely free from the usual curse of luridness, thanks to the artistic element which the director, Charles I. Brabin, ha woven into its fabric The picture is unusual In that it is told in three episodes or acts, representing in turn a dramatic and crucial incident in the lives of the three strata of New York society, as taken from th records and experiences of the ploice department and newspaper reporters. MURRAY A tottering old miner with the glint of money-madness in his dim eyes was made happy through an incident which occurred in the filming of "Two Kinds of Love." the, Universal photo-drama which is now playing at the Murray Theatre. The screen story concerns the goldrush of 1870 when ten thousand men swarmed up through San Gabriel Canyon in Southern California seeking gold. When the "yellow fever" of gold hunting subsided and the thousands drifted to other bonanzas, this old miner was left. .Then well advanced in years he refused to believe that the rocky canyon did not hold untold wealth in gold. Half mad, he Jiid away in the canyon and scratched at the unyielding surface of the earth for the metal that would make him wealthy. In later years people have established mountain homes in the canyon and the old man is well cared for; yet he believes that he has purchased his independence by the occasional yellow Btone which he tears from the breast of the mountain and considers gold. For some of the most dramatic scenes for "Two Kinds of Love," Reaves Eason, the Universal director, took his company into the canyon. He encountered the old man. The story required a jar of gold nuggest. For the purpose pellets of lead were gilded and placed in a fruit jar. Seeing the jar for the first time the old miner 6houted: "I remember now, I buried that jar thirty years ago. Give me my gold!" Knowing that the old fellow's wants are cared for by the settlers in the canyon, Eason allowed him to harbor his halucination and gave him the glittering metal.
