A Little Thing Like Honesty Doesn't Matter te Seme People
IT LOOKS us though wimp renders Imvi- tnkcii the wrung view of the iinnmiiic"'
ment miule n few ilnys ase In this celuiiiii thnt (irillith Imil rlmngeri the tit ti
nt bid new phnlnplny from "The Twe Oriilums" te "Orpliuu if the Storm."

for yieldinc te the nll-toe-prenlent lmbit of nltcring fiitniuiM title te prednee
n greater box elliee lnre, but this hasn't been (Jrlllitli's reason in tlii. eae at
all. As Iflnj; as the subject litis been brought tip it might be just as well te
discuss one of the most despicable practices in the moving-picture business
for It is this practice that really made ('rittith change bis title. And the fan N
the one te see that it is suppressed.
The practice i. whenever n massive and really geed production of a fnnieiti
classic is announced, te dig up some old and ehenp version of the same ster.v,
put it en the market under the same name and penult thousands of fans te be
misled into thinking it is the big production.
Griffith had already spent $;?.". 000 for billing and publicity nnd exploita
tion matter for "The Twe Orphans." Then it was learned that some people,
whose ethics nre net quite se keen as their business sagacit.v, had brought ever
te this country three foreign versions of the old classic.
They nre new planning te spring these cheap things when (irifiith springs
his big work. Last week one of the theatrical papers refused te accept adver
tlsing for these three films nnd wrote a scuthins editorial, denouncing the whole
practice nnd declaring that these who nre connected with it nre aimpl obtaining
money under false pretenses.
Te show hew utterl.v dishonest the whole thing is. it is enl. nrcevin te
point te the fact that these vame foreign tilms have been hawked about the mar
kcts for years, but tlie.v were such hepelcsslj bad pieces of work that no one
would buy them. Then (irillith came along with his announcement that he was
going te de "The Twe Orphans" nnd at once a ileal was closed. The foreign
films were bought, brought hre and have been held until the release date of
the Orifllth film in order te get the benefit of the advertising ami publicitv
This same thing has been done with two ether big American productions
that you will ensily rail te mind. During tin last year there has been cnlj
one "Three Musketeers" and only one "Camille" in the public mind Te dig
up old and inferior products under the same title may be geed business from
the viewpoints of the people who de it, but some of us will be glad we haven t
such viewpoints. .
N
THE remedy Itci in the hands l you fans, ll'irn you see n mei -r
house advertising a second -rate article undcttheic conditions, irriiv
te the etcner and tell him in your halde.it linglixh just tchat ynn thml.

"EXTRA" PAY FOR STATE
OFFICIALS
The revelations that are coming out (
Ilarrisburg. and especially out of the
unpublished mass of details in the office t
of file Auditor General, have revealed
one abuse that ought net te be pir
mittcd te cvlst a da.v or an hour longer.
There may be no law te forbid a State
official te draw large sums of inenev
from the State Treasury in payment

Is a moral obligation which makes such
pun tices unethii al.
It comes with had grace, for example,
for the Lieutenant Governer of the
Coiniiienvwiilth te perferin legal services-
"en the side" for ivblcli such extra
compensations as SeOimi are paid. It
may be that the salary legally attached
te the elliee of Lieutenant Governer 1
net cnmmciiMii-utc with the dignity and
the duties of the office. et there is a
wiilcspiind inipiessien that except din
ing tlie actual sessions of the I.egis.
lalure there is mere dignity than duties
attached te tin- lieutenant governersliin
and that that official surely has suf.
Iiclfnt time te assist In collection ami of
moneys due the Stale, even if that p.ir
limlar duty doesn't happen te belong
,e his elliee. without doubling his sulai-y
by the process.
The case of Iicidleinan. hew ever, is
net the only instance in which paid of
ficials of tlie State have been allowed
te dip tin h- lingers Inte the public purse
and draw thousands of dollars m addi
tion te their salaries for "extra lejal
services.' It does net greatly matter
whut these "extra legal sen lies" were

hnd never expected that the whole world
would turn its back while he walked
frpin the penltcnflury te Jfrs. 'Peeler's
plgeoncetc and tucked thut package of
a hundred thousand dollars tinder his
arm. In that sense Ilnrjnn had told
him nothing new. Hut nevertheless
Ilarjan hud struck home. He could net
tell just where in the conversation, at
just precisely what, point, Ilarjan had
done this, nor could lie tell in any
concrete way Just what new difficulties
nnd obstacles linrjau had reared up.
He had always expected thnt it was
up te him te outwit the police when
he get avvny from these cursed guards.
Hut Ids mind wns haggard this after
noon. He hnd lashed It, driven It tee
bnrd through the night and through
the morning. It had lest tenacity: it
would net define. The only tiling that
held and clung there, nnd would net
be dislodged, wns the unreal, a snatch
of nightmare out of the, little sleep,
fitful und troubled, thut he had had.
He wns swimming across; a dark, wide
peel whose banks were all steep and
Impassable except at one spot which
was very narrow, und here u figure
worked feverishly with n pile of huge
stones, building up n wall against him.
He swam frantically, like a madman;
but for every stroke he took the figure
added another stone te the wall; nnd
when lie reached the edge of the bank
the wnll was massive and high, ami
Ilarjnn wns perched en the top of the
wail grinning at him.
He raised bis hand, and drcvv.lt across
his eyes. The clatter und clamor In
"Yeu ronie across ami jeu vvallt
out of here a free mail with me,
right new, lenlght"
the curi enter shop here around him
was unendurable. The thud of u hum
mer jarred upon him. jangling bis
nerves; the screech of the handsaw, u
little wny down the shop, wus like the
insane raving of sonic devil, with u
devil s perveited sense of humor, run
ning up ami down a devil's scale. There
wen sixty-two dajs left.
Ills ejes fell upon old Teny Lema.zi
a few benches away. Showing under
Teny's cap, the hnir, whut there was
of It, was silver mere nearly silver
than it had somehow ever seemed te be
before. Perhaps the prison barber had
been a little late in getting around te
the old man this time, perhaps it was
because it was a little longer, perhaps
that was It. It vvas strange though,
rather queer! His eyes, arrested new,
held en the ether, and he seemed te be
noticing little details that had never
attracted his attention before. His own
bunds, t tin t mechanically letained their
grip upon the plane lie bad been using,
were Idle new. Certainly these old
shoulders ever there were mere bowed
and bent than he had ever seen them
before. And the striped form wns very
frail; tlie clothes hung en It as clothes
bung en u scarecrow. There was only
the old fellow's side face In view, for
the ether's back was partially turned,
but it appeared te possess quite a new
and startling iijifamlllaiitr. It wasn't
the gray-white, unhealthy pallor old

Teny wasn't the only one who had that,
for no one had ever claimed that there
was anv analogy between n peliltentiar
and n health resort but the jowl vvas
most curiously gaunt, and drawn in
ward as though the man were sucking
lu his checks, and yet the skin seemed
te be stretched tight nnd hind as a
drumhead. Very curious 1 It must
be because he couldn't see the sharp
little black eyes, full of lire, that put
life and soul Inte that scarecrow frame.
Old Teny turned, and their eyes met.
The old man lifted ids hand ns though
te wipe his mouth nnd there vvas a
little lllrt of the lingers in Dave Hen Hen
dereon's direction. It vvas the old, In
timate little slgnnl that had passed be
tween them unnumbered times In the
thousand years that they had spent to
gether here in the penitentiary s car
penter shop but he had been finite
wrong about the ejes. Something
seemed te luive filmed across them, veil
ing their luster. And suddenly Dave
Hendersen swallowed hard. Sixty-two
days ! Old Teny hadn't much mere than
that. Perhaps another year nt the out
side, nnd the old lifer would be free,
tee.
Dave Hendersen's ltiind reverted te
Lieutenant .loe Ilarjnn, of the plain
clothe!) squad. It vvas perfectly true
that playing a lone band against the
police of nil America vvas a desperate
game desperate in tlie sense that site
cess wns In jeopardy.
Thnt u-iiu what iiiinte his brain con
fused and chaotic new. He wns ufruid
net of Ilurjun, net of all the police in
the I'tiited Slates In a physical wnv;
he hnd never hedged n bet. and the
live years that he hud new paid would
goad him en mere flian ever te face
any physical risk, take any physical
chance but he was afraid new, sick
with fear, because his mind would net
respond und show him dearly, definitely
the way te knock Hurjan nnd his
triumphant grin from thut nightmare
wall, and
A gunrd's voice 'snapped bluirply nt
his elbow.
Yes, of course! He had been stand
ing Idle for a few seconds perhaps nn
hour. Automatically he bent ever the
bench, and ituteiniitlcally his plane drew
a neat, clean shaving from the work in
freut of him.
The guard's voice snapped again.
"You're wanted!" said the guard
curtly. "There's a visitor te see you."
Dnve Hendersen turned away from
the bench, and followed the gunrd; but
the act was purely mechanical, born out
of the .venrs of discipline nnd obedience.
A visitor for him! There vvas no one
in the outside world, net a soul, who
cured for him; net nuinv even te whom
his existence was of enough Interest
te cause a second thought except Har
jan. And Harjan had visited him yes
terday. Anether visitor today! Well,
whoever it was, (he visitor hnd been
in no hurry about it ! The little in
tentien wus certainly belated! His lips
thinned bitterly. Whoever it wns hnd
waited almost live years. He bad never
had u visitor before except the police.
It was an event ! The bitterness grew
deeper, and rankled. He hnd asked for
no human touch, or thought, or con
sideration ; lie hud asked for none, and
he hud given none; he had made his own
bed n nil he hnd net whined becnuse It
hnd proved te be u ruck of torture. He
was net whining new, and he had no
desire te change the rules of the game
that he himself bad elected te piny.
This was no visitor it wns nn in
truder! Hut curiosity, as he crossed the prison
yard and entered the main building,
tempered tlie sullen iintugenlsm that had
flared up in his soul. Who wus it thnt
wns waiting for him there along the
corridor In the wire-netted visitor's
room, where, like some beast with its
keeper paring up und down In front of
the cngci, he wns te be placed en ex
hibition? He searched his brain for
mi answer that would be even pliiusible.
Net Square Jehn Kelly. Kelly might
have come if Kelly had been left te
iilinse'f. but Kelly vvas the one man
he had warned off from tlie beginning
there was that mutter of $.'000, ami
caution had prompted him te avoid any
sign of intimacy betwceiMhein. There
was no one else. Kven Kellv. perhaps,
wasn't n friend any mere. Kelly would,
perhaps, simply pla.v square, turn ever
