NEXT WEEK AT THE

1HEATRE

MURRETTE r

Three richly embroidered costumes i weighing 105 pounds provide much oi l the interest attendant upon Rodolphi Valentino's colorful and varied Span-j ish wardrobe in his new Paramount! picture, "Blood and Sand," by Vicente ; Blasco Ibanez, which comes to the! Mnrrette theatre Sunday. Thirty-five j pounds each, weigh the gorgeous sil- j ver, gold and satin tornador costumes! worn by the star in his appearances as j "Juan Gallardo," a bull fighter of Spain. When fully dressed with the i

aaamon or his cape of pink silk, n-

Spanish bull-fighter tinkles and rings like a battery of bells on a busySunday. But the torero suits are not the

only colorful features of the Valentino impersonation in this picture. There is a ragged outfit of the young street gamin with bull-fighter aspirations and the dashing gypsy costume worn at Gallardo's country place. All have been figured to display at its best the vivid, .exotic touch which has created the sudden country-wide Valentino vogue. ' The Valentino genius for romantic love-making has adequate opportunity with the two widely differentiated feminine leads, played by Lila Lee, sweet and gentle, and Nita Naldi, volcanic and tempestuous. "Blood and Sand," is a Fred Niblo production, adapted by June Mathis. Alvin Wycoff photographed. Included in the cast are Walter Long, Leo White, Rose Rosanova,' Marie Marstini, George Field, Fred Becker, Charle3 Belcher.

. William Clifford, who has an important role in "The Mask," the feature attraction which is coming to the Murrette theatre la one of the best

known . character ; actors in motion pictures. But before he was won over to the silent drama Clifford spent eighteen years on the spoken stage. He was born, in New Orleans in 1S78 and educated at the Toronto Conservatory of Music. His 6tage career included engagements with such celebrities as Mantell and Whiteside, . and he also had his own company. On the screen he has appeared in such productions as "The. Sins at a Parent," "A Tale of Two Cities." "Under Handicap" "Paradise Garden," "The Square Deceiver," "A Man of Honor," "Gambling in Souls," and "The- Long Arm of Mannister." Clifford's- home is in Hollywood, Calif. In "The Mask'" he interprets the role of Francois, the conniving valet of Kenneth Traynor, who is the victim of an ingenious plot following the discovery of a huge diamond in his South African holdings. , NEIL O'BRIEN'S MINSTRELS With a production new to the very smallest "details, Neil' O'Brien's Minstrels will pay its annual visit to Richmond appearing at the Murray theatre on Wednesday, Sept. 20.-" O'Brien's Minstrels has become a "National Institution' and is ' now recognized as the leader in .purveying this strictly American style Of entertainment.

HIGH WAGES

(Continued from Page One.)

would have been coming in to the

United States, this year, even without the coal strike and merely because it

is a period of rising demand for labor.

probably seme where between a mil

lion and two million immigrants from

Europe. Not to Relax Law This condition is wholly of the past. However, the larger employers of labor may wish tor more of this form of raw material, however much the public generally may have wished that the coal strike should be broken, the aggregate of these forces will never be able to change our present immigration law in the direction of greater looseness. If the present law should be changed at all, it will be in the direction of more stringent restriction. Public opinion in the United States has come clearly to think of immigration, not in the terms of raw material for our industries, but rather from the point of view of its relation to our social structure. Opinion Is Fixed Public opinion is crystalized in the belief that immigrants, in the numbers in which they have come in the past, compose a difficult and undesirable contribution to our social structure. The present immigration law, when it was passed in. the house and senate had a majority of fully 10 to one in the former and 30 to one in the latter. These overwhelming majorities where a correct expression of the state of feeling in the communities from which the senators and congressmen come. There is no question upon

wnicn the state or public feeling is

more clear. The drastic reduction of Immigration must be accepted as a fixed fact in our future industrial life and the effects of this new condition must be accepted. Of these effects the first and most conspicuous is the winning

of the coal strike. Stated in the broad

est way, one of these effects is going to be to enable labor of the sort that comes in competition with Immigrants to achieve higher wages and greater privileges. Other Aspects Clear If we turn now to the other industrial aspects of the winning of the coal strike, they are no less clear. The price of coal is going to be higher. It Is going to be higher not merely to the extent that the wages paid the coal miners are higher than they were before the war. The addition to the price of coal will not be measured merely by the sum by which the wages of coalminers are greater than they were before the war. The price of coal to the consumer will be increased also by all those additions which flow from the greater amount of capital necessary to be employed. The owner ot the mine, the corporation that operates it, the wholesale dealer and the retail dealer, each and " all , will add something to the price. . I Cost to Express Itself This' increased cost of coal will express itself and will bear down on the consumer in a multitude of ways It will have to be met and paid by the consumer of light, gas and electricity, in which the cost of coal is one of the elements. It will express itself in the cost of transportation It will express itself in the cost of every manufactured article in which the price of fuel plays any part, great or email. - In short, it is inevitable that this increase in the cost of coal will be a fixed and undefeatable element, tending to cause higher prices for the great bulk of manufactured commodities. Further than this, the success of the coal miner in keeping his wages at a

high level will tend to bring abou

higher wages in other lines. Much of the labor in steel making,

in railroad building, and in other forms

of manufacture and construction is of

the same kind as that which works in

the coal mines. That the success of the coal miners will tend to cause this type of labor to seek wages which will

be on some kind of parity with the

wages of the miners is clear.

The recent increases given to certain classes .of labor by the steel cor

porations is a meeting in advance o

demands sure to be made very soon.

In addition, to the same extent that

the cessation of immigration has tend ed to make coal miners the,benefic

iary of a sort of monopoly these other

classes of labor will have the same

advantage. Situation of the Farmers.

Let us now turn to the farms.

Thirty-one per cent of the population of the United States lives directly or

indirectly on the returns from the

farmer. The farmers and their fami

lies compose close to a full third of

our entire national community.

These farmers and their families

are not benefitted; but on the son-

trary are harmed by the same condi-

ditions which have given greater re

muneration to the workers in the

mines and factories..

The immense immigration to the United States in former years did not form a competition to farming as it did to raw labor in thte cities mines

and factories.

On the contrary, to the extent that the the city population and the non

farming population generally was in

creased by immigration, to that same

extent the consumers of the farmers

goods were increased and the farmer3

thereby benefited. By the extent that

the total population of the united States is restrained, to that extent

is the domestic market for the former

restrained. At the same time to the extent that the worker in mines, factories and cities ia enabled to increase his wages by the cessation of immigration, to that same extent will the farmer be compelled to pay higher prices for all the manufactured goods that he buys. Result is at Hand The result of all this is already at hand. The farmer today, in spite of

three hundred million dollars of credit extended to him by the government, is in a worse situation than he was in 1914. Out of this contrast between conditions on the farm and in the factory one clear result must come. Unhap

pily it is one of those results which are universally looked upon as unfortunate from the point of view of any nation's destiny. With wages in the cities go

ing higher and with remuneration to the farmer restrained, it must follow

that there will be a tendency on the part of farmers sons to leave the farms for the cities. To this extent there

will be increased a movement that has gone on in this country for more than a generation, and which is universally looked upon as not good for the na-

Un s destiny.

Political Results The more directly political result of

these shifting elements will be less

marked than the economic results. The

farmer is discontented. The disadvantages put upon him by the things just described are increased by the lack of

normal foreign markets. The farmer

is penalized by the higher wages' paid

to city, rmne and factory workers. He is further penalized by the fact that he is deprived of the opportunity of selling his crops to that annual million or more of immigrants which used to be added to our population from Europe. He is still further penalzed by the fact that the disruption of international relations reduces his selling to Europe. He can neither sell to this million or more of Europeans after they come to America as immigrants, nor while they remain in Europe. - Because of all this it Is the prediction of those who are best informed in

this field that the American farmer is in for several years of discontent. That discontent he will express in politics. The farmer has always been more vocal in politics than any other element in the population. Today, through the solidarity of the farm bloc, he is more able to make his discontent effective than ever before. The farmer is going to be active in politics; he is organized to make his activity successful, and the form of his activity probably will be the same as has been usual in the past. In nearly all agrarian movements, one of the principal objectives has been cheaper money; and today the one American who is probably better equipped than any other man to see the future within this field, says that questions within the scope of currency and finance will be to the front in the next presidential election.

' WASHINGTON : There is a way for the hero of a screen drama to soak the villian so that punch looks like an awful wallop but in reality hurts very little. Thom

as Meighan was having a rough and tumble tight with Tom Kennedy in the former's latest Paramount picture, "Our Leading Citizen" which will be shown at the Washington theatre Sund.iy. After knocking over all the fur niturc, breaking down the door and messing things up .senprally, the combatants lunged for the knock-out blow. Meighan jabbed Kennedy on the jaw with what appeared to bo a resounding smack. Only the two actors knew that that Meighan had "pulled his punch" that is, made it appear more severe than it really was. But Kennedy was a disciple of Spartan realism. "Don't pull your punch on me; I'm

no lily!" was his order. Whereupon,

was quite genuine and Kennedy took

the count. ' "That was better," he smiled after the scene was over. "That one made me feel more like lying down more realistic!" To all who can't understand Ken-
