AGE TWELVE

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND, IND., MONDAY, NOV. 7, 192L

MONTENEGRIN QUEEN HOLDS COURT IN EXILE ATSAN REMO, ITALY Still contending that she is a queen, aged Milena, widow of the deposed kinjr of Montenegro, exiled and almost penniless, has set up a rueful court in a pavilion of the Hotel Miramara, at San Remo, Italian Kivera. She has so little room that she and her two unmarried daughters, Xenia and Vera,

use the same sitting rooms for their I

meals and for receiving the few visitors who go to see them. Of ex-Queen Milena's daughters, the eldest, not now living, married the prince who became King Peter of Serbia. Two wedded Russian grand dukes. Another is the wife of Prince Francis Joseph of Battenberg, and still another is the queen of Italy, but none of them seems able to rescue their mother from her sea of trouble. When the picturesque King Nicholas (who had established a sort of court in Paris) passed away, his grandson, Prince Michael, 11 years old, was proclaimed "king" by the government in exile. He is now at school in England, and his mother, Princess Mirko, formerly Princess Natalie of Serbia, is "regent." While the "regent" is in San Remo and the "king" is in England, the government which acknowledges them is in Rome. Its headquarters is the Montenegrin consulate.

The Theatres

"TAKE IT FROM ME" One of the features of the new musical comedy, "Take It Prom Me" which will be presented at the Murray theatre Thursday. Nov. 10th, is the striking originality and beauty of the costumes of the big chorus of pretty girls and the amazing "class" and distinction of ihe gowns and hats worn by the principals. The New York newspapers have commented upon these sartorial excellences with quite as much enthusiam as they snowed for the originality and vim of th six big song hits, the wholesome comedy of the story and the clever mining of a great group of fun-makers. The secret of the superiority in color, fabric, draping and general style of the dresses and millinery, the lingerie and shoes worn in "Take It From Me" is explained by the fact that Will B. Johnstone who wrote the libretto and also designed the costumes, the scenic effects and the modern gowns worn by the principals, is himself an artist of high achievements as an illustrator, cartoonist and watercolor colorist. He is a member of the art staff of the New York World. The excruciatingly funny incidents in the plot of "Take It From Me" are all taken from real life in a great city department store. Unlike most of the musical comedies, or so-called "plays I with music," this extraordinary offering contains a group of comedic characters so well defined, so perfectly identified with their environments and with the musical and comedy requirements of the piece, that "Take It From Me" is by way of immortalizing a number of types easily recognized by every one who patronized the "big stores." The play is seasoned with some of the most tuneful melody that the stage has offered in many a day. One of the best of the big collection is a song entitled "Good, Ead, Beautiful Broadway." 'Others that are encored over and over are "The Tanglefoot," "The Call of The Cozy Little Home," "l Lik To Linger in the Lingerie," Explanations" and "camouflage." The music is by Will R. Anderson, and is quite the best he has ever done. MURRAY "In "The Riddle: Woman," Geraldine Farrar portrays a woman who could do anything spare no one in her mad, i-elfish worship of her husband. Yet, could she sacrifice a motherless young irl to the passions of a man she knew to be a rake a viper who won the confidence of women with a love he did not feel. Could she buy her freedom from the power of this villain at the

cost of the girl's innocence? Do you know what she did? If you are a man, do you know what a woman in such a position would do? If you are a woman, do you know? Woman, the riddle of the ages, is equally a riddle to herself. In writing "The Riddle: Woman" Carl Jacoby has cleverly brought out many of the moods of the ternal feminine. The Murray theatre will present today, Tuesday and Wednesday, "The Riddle: Wonvan," which marks the debut of Associated Exhibitors. Edward Jose directed the picture and chose a cast including Montagu Love, Adele Blood. William P. Carleton, Frank Txsee, Madge Bellamy and Louis Stern to assist Miss Farrar. MURETTE Rupert Hughes is still loyal to his first literary love, the novel, despite his overwhelming success with photoplays such as "Scratch My Back," the screen comedy classic, "The Old Xest," the greatest picture of home ever presentrd, and that most human and humorous picturizing of early married life, "Dangerous Curve Ahead:" which is showing at the Murrette theatre. Mr. Hughes has recently written a novel about peopla who live, move and have their being in the film world. It is now appearing serially in a popular magazine under the title of "Souls for Sale." His first novel "The Whirlwind" was published in 1902. This was followed by "Zal." "The Gift Wife," "The Old Nest." "The Amiable Crimes of Dirk Memling." "The Iady Who Smoked Cigars." "Clipped Wings." "Miss 31S," "The Cup of Fury." "The Thirteenth Commandment," "The Unpardonable Sin." "Empty Pockets." "We Can't Have Everything." "What Will People Say" and "Beauty."

of Washington is perhaps limited to 1 nation wide holidays, except at Easter

a kindly thought or two of Ueorge

who obliged us by being famous

enough to be worthy of a holiday. But our holidays are not arranged to give the best results as days of recreation. It has been shown by

economists that days close to Sunday are the most efficient time for holidays. When workers knock off to play in the middle of the week there is found to be a good deal of the be-fore-and-after holiday spirit; while there is generally less when the holiday falls at the beginning or end of a week. A holiday that falls on Saturday, economists show, is followed by a rest day, and workers are more apt to re

turn to work on Monday with the hoh- j day partly forgotten. The atmosphere cf office and shop is more normal than on a working day directly after

a holiday. Monday Best Holiday Monday, like Saturday, is desirable as a holiday. Here, again, the week is not broken up by two separate resting spells. Monday is the best day in the week for a holiday, from the worker's point of view, because it gives him two days together. Besides this, it has been found that when a holiday falls in the middle of the week, factories often shut down for the half of the week following the celebration. Occasionally, the whole week is given to the workers without pay. So far as the people who work are concerned it would be further desir

able to have our holidays scattered throughout the year, the pleasant months being the most satisfactory

for celebrations.

As the calendar stands, we have !

March. April, May and June without

and Decoration day which is in May In the North and April in most southern states. As Good Friday is not a legal holiday in many states, Easter

from an economic standpoint really

does not give an extra day of rest. Then, August and October have no general holidays. In all of these months, except March, perhaps, weather is favorable for out-of-door events picnics, pageants, excursions and hikes. ' - Our prevailing holidays Beem to be clustered in the four coldest months, with Fourth of July and Labor day to

i furnish recreation for summer. This

side of the matter has never been stressed in establishing new holidays, ! but considering the financial cost i when millions of workers are idle fori an extra day, it might seem that an ! anniversary falling in June, August, or j October might be given preference j over another mid-winter holiday. What holidays cost is shown in a j general way by the government's es-' timate that each legal holiday in the j District of Columbia costs the coun- j try about $300,000. This estimate was j based on the average salary of 90,000 ;

government clerks in Washington. It does not show the cost in delays in work, or what the gain or loss In ficiency due to a day of rest may be-

It shows only the dollars and cents

outlay for a day's work. Last year the holiday bill for the District was a little more than $2,000,000.

More National Holidays? By FREDERICK J. HASKIN

WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 7 Shall we have more holidays? The feminist forces have asked congress to make Aug. 23, the day the woman suffrage amendment was adopted, Woman's day. and a national holiday. Admirers of Roosevelt want his birthday, which falls on Oct. 27, added to the list of holidays throughout the country. Columbus has his supporters, too, who think the day this country was discovered is of sufficient importance to be celebrated, more widely than it is. Various groups are urging congress to make Armistice day a permanent holiday. Bills for new holidays are presented to congress every year, but this year there seems to be more interest in them than usual. Armistice day stands the best chance of being put on the calendar as a permanent holiday now. Sentiment in favor of it is strong, and the time is opportune. But lengthening the list of holidays is a serious step, and now, especially, there is a tendency to stop to consider whether we have enough holidays already, whether they are an economic asset or a liability, and what holidays cost anyway. A large number of feast days is regarded by some authorities as a sign of economic degeneracy. The evidence seems to be that we have not too many holidays now. As the different states decide for themselves the holidays they will celebrate, the number varies from seven to a dozen or more. The average which is about 10 compares favorably with the holi

day lists of other countries. Scotland, is is true, gets along with only five national holidays, but Australia has 16. Rumania has 24, mostly religious, and while Mexico has only 19 national holidays, it is estimated that all of its CO local holidays are observed by more than half the people. Back in ancient times. Roman history furnishes a striking illustration

of holiday excesses. Out of 335 days in a year, the Romans set aside 109 as unlawful for judicial or political business. These days were dedicated to the gods. We have about half as many rest days in our Sundays, and our eight or 10 legal holidays correspond to the 11 other Roman holidays. But this proportion of almost onethird of the time "off" did not satisfy Rome when the empire began to decay. At the middle of the fourth century, there were 173 holidays, some lasting several days. Indian Holidays No country today is in this condition, but there is an interesting modern example of a people having a great number of holidays, more than any of the civilized countries, and without serious effects. These people are the Hopi Indians of the Southwest, whose religious festivals occupy more than half the year. They arrange most of their ceremonies for the slack months between harvest time and planting. A government scientist says of them: "Although the Pueblo farmer may thoroughly believe in his ceremonial system as efficacious, his human nature is too practical to consume

the precious planting time with elab

orate ceremonials.

The Hopi Indian makes his holidays

tit in with the simple economic

scheme of the tribe. But more civilized countries with complicated labor

conditions do not.

More and more, holidays are com

ing to serve as recreation days. Most of us celebrate Washington's birth

day by an extra nap in the morning

and then some kind of amusement for the rest of the day. Our remembrance

INGROWN TOE NAIL

TURNS OUT ITSELF

A noted authority says that a few drops of "Outgro" upon the skin surrounding the ingrowing nail reduces inflammation and pain and so toughens the tender, sensitive skin underneath the toe nail, that it can not penetrate the flesh, and the nail turns naturally outward almost over night. "Outgro" is a harmless, antiseptic manufactured for chiropodists. However, anyone can buy from the drug store a tiny bottle containing directions. Advertisement.
