IN DEFENSE OF
THE GIRL USHER
If It were possible to aBk an nudlcnco
Its opinion -of feminism In tho theatre
or, In. -othor words, tho glr ushor move
ment, the, answer would probably depend
on the .complexion of the particular young
ladle at the particular thcatro In ques
tion. But recollections of lordly loung
gentlemen condescending to shovo you
Into tlio wrohg seat with a "Hero's yer
checks'' might do something to decide the
iVote.
Chicago has had a worried spell over
the girl usher and has oven tried to make
a. laW on the aubjqet. It didn't object to
the fact that glrli lima been employed
Urgely for tho icason that they come
cheaper than Industrious students work
ing their way through law school. Tho
Chicago City Council took up tho ques
tion of whether girls weren't a peril In
tbp event of a Are
The ultimate answer was no. A bill to
requlro masculine ushers was killed. Tho,
rguments appaicntly established the
fact that In tho event of a Are panic
physical strength is a small matter
against a mob. whllo tho moral courage
of wpman and the example of tho weaker
ax unafraid are a good deal more efllca-
cjous.
Of courao tho whole thing Is a matter
of theory:- and burning down a theatre
to put It to tho practical test as cx-FIre

The Orchestra Program
The orchestra program for tho nflcr
iieon and tomorrow evening Is of dve
numbers, two of which fall to Mme
Rrncstlno Schumann-Helnk, who Ii the
nsslstng artist for both occasions. Tho
symphony Is Schubert's seventh, not the
ninth, ns previously announced through
an crro In typography. Tho other' or
chestral numbers arc two rxcerpta from
Berlioz's "Ilomco and Jullot," and tho
"Rlcnzl" oicrture. Since licr retirement
from the operatic stago tho occasions on
which Mme. Schumann-llclhk may be
heard have grown very limited. Some
weeks ago she sang hero at a benefit oon
cert, and those who heard her testify
to the dramatic power of her voice and
tho complete artistry of her singing. In
the concerts she sings "Andromache's La
ment," from Bruch's "Achilles," and
Ariadne's aria from "Blenzl "
"Whafs DoingTonight?"

When Henry Ford started his profit
sharing plan, secrdl other firms followed
his lead In various tines of business, but
the first one to do It In the amusement
field Is Louis J, Selznlck, general manager
of tho World Film Corporation. In a
letter to his einplojea Mr, Selznlck snjst
You and I tire both working for the
same object the success of the World
Film Corporation. It has altvays been

what I created. In our case It la
not a question of choosing bitwecn a
profit-sharing arrangement and a
salary, but a question of adding to
your salary. In offering this plan to
you I am offering what I was glnd to
accept myself. I know it has made me
happier nnd I believe that it v. Ill
make you happier and more closely

BIUTI8H SHOnTSiaHTDDXESS.
A glowing Instance of short-sighted pa
triotism Is furnished by the action of the
London County Council In refusing to
rcnow tho licenses of a number of moving
picture theatres In the metropolis owned
I by alien enemies. But tho embargo does
not even atop nt this. If early reports rep
resent tho position faithfully, and pic
ture shows employing alien enemies (Qer
mans, Hungarians, Austrlana ana Turks)
are also to be compulsorlly closed. Thus
a picture show owned by say a Turk for
Instance but worked by a British mana
Ker, British staff, British built and show
ing British pictures, must close its doors
ii respective of the fact that It mnv no.
caslon distress by unemployment among
a numoer or uruisli people. It Is rea
sonable to conclude that the legislators
responsible for this serious misuse of
their power have been Influenced by nn
evening newspaper which alnQe tho war
broke out has repeatedly urged the gov
ernment to confiscate alien-owned enter
tain merit houses.
AVAIt PICTURES COMING.
Ed n In F. Weigle, start photographer of
the Chlcagp Tribune, returning recently
from r.uropo. brought with him a collec

records of the war as it was fought In
Belgium, It Is expected that the first
showing of tho films on the screen at

words, some one has been rifling the
cupboard. My advice Is to catch the
thief without drawing the police In. Put
seals on the door and the lock. I notice
that the wall la very thin,"
"Bah! Altmann Is an old fool. He
thinks I am a locksmith," contemptu
ously. "You never can tell. I will come to
me rrow and together we'll examine the
seals."
"But what do you think T'
"About whatT"
"The tonea."
"Oh. I am quite certain that in the
event of your being- able tp make the
stonea in carat slst you will not only
be, famous, but rich. Stllf, you know
what a sensitive thing a diamond I. It
would be wise to keep jour eecret until
you have made your fortune."
"I'm no fool, if it got about that J
tns.de diamond at a profit, however
small, the diamond market would go to
smash."
Seals were applied to the cupboard and
Hassam Ail went away.
The moment b was gone the diamond
cutter berated himself furiously. What
had poweted. hint to take ilasaam All so
utterly into his opfldeneeT And there
imu noouw now could any one
have known that he had diamonds? And
more, pmillng than all ele, why hadn't
the Jhltf take thn all? He did not
sleep well that night
When be d Hassam All broke the

SIR JAMES M. BARRIE
The entire play is being cabled for the use of the Public
Ledger next Sunday in advance of its presentation- v
on the London Stage next week.
Barrie is, generally acknowledged to be one of the best
playwrights in the world. This War Play is a piece of
literature. It is in serious topical vein with a strong moral
lesson. It is Barrie at his best. Never before has a newspaper-
been fortunate enough to secure a new play by the
noteid author of "Peter Pan" and "The Little, Minister.!'
The cost of its American rights is 50 cents a word. It is one
more big feature added to the long list already provided for
readers of Sunday's Public Ledger.
