EYE FOR EYE

A REAL TREAT

Nazimova in the Role of Hassouna, in Vivid Drama of the Orient.

FIRST IN THE NEWS-TIMES

Xazimova, one of the most fascinating and talented actresses on th screen, was seen at the Oliver yesto;ay in a thrilling production entitled "Fye for Hye." The play Is a vivid dream of the Orient and the star was seen in the role of Hassouna, a girl of the desert. The story concerns an Arabian girl, who lives with her tribe in a city of tents on the edge of tho desert. A young French otticer comes to the encampment and is mado prisoner. The girl falls in love with him and aids him to escape. When it is discovered that the prisoner had Med and that Hassouna assisted him, the girl is condemned to death, the Arabs abandoning her to the desert to perish. The girl is finally rescued but H sold to a travelling circus as a dancing k'irl and falls into tho hands of a brutal master. The story is vital and absorbing following the life of this passionate and untamed wirl of the desert. After many hardships and much ill-usae at Ihe

j hands of the manager of the circus, j she is rescued and taken to the home , of the man she aided in the desert.

In .scenes which occur during this period of the thrilling drama, Naziluova is superb in the utter abandon of her art. In the scenes in which she does the dance of the veils she holds the audience in the palm of her hand. It is a picture which arrests the attention and expands the imagination transporting the beholder to the heart of things oriental and mysterious, and telling a story of intrigue and passion, which is not to be surpassed. Xazimova has never been seen to better advantage and the production is a real treat. The picture will be shown today. Saturday and Sunday, with continuous performances.

The educational committee of the county council of defense has undertaken a back-to-school drive. This is a national movement started by the children's bureau of the United States department of labor, and will continue through the month of January, centering around Jan. 26, which is Child Labor day in tho churches, and Jan. 27 in the schools. Thousands of children have left school for industry, dazzled by th hi?h whets offered by the pressure of war. Jobs that offered very little training and less hope of a future were taken unquestioningly by the youngsters who "don't like school any way.' and think that they are "old enough to work," or who feel the urge of home necessity. This back-to-school drive will attempt two things: To return to the schoolä and keep there the children now In school from leaving prematurel.v. Reports of greatly increase ! shifting from job to job seem to indicate that the child is not finding in his work a steadily progressive training. The ficrures do not show that children are staying at their jobs more steadily because of higher wages, or that they are staying long enough to gain from tehir industrial training experience which will make them increasingly useful. Profiting by the mistake of England in allowing the children to leave school and go to work when the war started and by the later effort of both England and France to change conditions by passing laws to protect the child in education, the United States noon realized that children who leave school early to enter employment are "as assuredly maimed for all time" as the men who return wounded from the trenches. In speaking for the new education hill Introduced last August In England, Mr. Fisher of the board of education said: "Economy is in the air. "We are told to economize In our expenditures and foodstuffs. I suggest that we should economize in the human capital of our country our most precious possession which we have tro long neglected. We do not want to waste a single child. We desire that every child in the country should receive the form of education most adapted to fashion its qualities to the highest use." In South Bend the welfare of these children who leave school Is very efficiently looked after by Miss Helen Dernbach, who 'investigates the necessity for the child going to work and if found necessary to secure employment tries to place the child in a suitable position, and Miss Klizal!h It. Turner. who , has charge of issuing the labor slips. All cases of children in industry In South Pend go through this office, which handles approximately 4.000 cases a year. This department of the puhlie schools will cooperate wdth the educational committee in this back-to-school drive.
