BETTY BLYTHE IS HERE
WITH A NEW PHOTOPLAY
Beautiful Star Appears In Persen
With Showing of "Fair Lsdy"
Aldine Ilex Beach stands for the
active spirit of present-day writing,
and whether the setting of his story is
the tropics or Alaska, there Is a rush
nnd vigor about It that la as effective
en the screen (and probably mere se)
than between pages of books.
"Fair Lady," renamed from his
1; novel. "The Net," is the latest of the
Beach stories te be screened, nnd film
fans cannot complain thntt it lackB
action.
Tlie story deals with the operations
of a secret society of Sicily which trans
fcrs Its operations te New Orleans. The
leader, Card!, is In love with n young
Sicilian Countess, and when she at
tempts te marry he has her fiancee ne
Kasslnated. The girl takes the Sicilian
oath of veneennce and traces Card! te
America. There she meets a young
American who incurs Cnrdi's hatred
because he possesses the Countess'
favor. The rest of the ynrn Is nccom nccem
panled by the depredations and outrages
of the linnd which 1h flnnllv nnellerl liv
the death of Cardl just as lie la sacking
revenge en the young American. .
Sew (Jrlenjis is net often used ns n
locale for film stories, but it is an ex-
(client one. full of color nnd romance
and that widely sought "atmosphere. "
Fair Lady s ' director is te be con
gratulatcd for making the most of the
setting, but the photography is none
tee geed nnd the titling is ordinary.
The heroine is Betty Blythe. who is
appearing in person this week nt the

'GOOD PROVIDER' IS A

New Fannie Hurst Film Better
In Seme Respects Other
Photoplays
Stanley That cvcr-rellnble tonic, a
geed, hearty laugh, net only lenvens
the sentiment of "The Geed Provider,"
but makes that picture ene of the most
entertaining nnd interesting films shown
here this spring.
Since author, director and lending
players are the frame that made
"Hutnercsquc" the nation-wide success
It was, comparison seem In order. "The
Geed Provider" 1 In many ways the
better of the two. That fense of humor
Is its best merit. "HumercKquc" was
the mere pathetic, but tears de net fall
se easily nt "The Geed Provider,"
which, however, is the mere human nnd
in many ways the mere evenly balanced
and artistic.
It's nil about father, Papa Blnswan-
ger. and the troubles he has because his
family leek en Mm only as a "geed
provider" and net as a father. They
take him te the city which he hates,
they force him te take nn apartment in
a fine hotel which bankrupts him and
they keen heundlne and nestcrinc him
until finnlly he turns nn them and calls
them n "pack of wolves" (which they
were) and blames them for his business
failure.
Fannie Hurst is en Mire crnund here
nnd the sub-titles, touched in her well
known Hebrew phraseology, arc one of
the film's high point", when his son
gets up from the table in the cabaret
nnd begins te dance, Papa Binswauger
says: "There he gees, with the soup
he is lizard dancing; probably with
the boiled be?f he will he ice bkatlng."
And when they turn the lights out for
a specialty danre, he bemeans: "Is it
that for $48 a day I should have te eat
In the dark."

Letters te the Editor
Would Help All In Need
leth KdUer of M Evening rublle Ltdetrt
SirWhen I wrote you u letter last
week urging that we should all con
tribute something regularly te the starv
ing Itusslans and Armenians, I was
sure somebody xveuld say "Why net
fced Americans first?" and I'm rather
Elad Mr. Arlington did write a letter
fe that effect, as It gives mc the chanc,
te answer him. .
Well, in the first place there is no
cempar son at nil between the sufferings
of America's peer and the thousands
who ero dying in Europe and AMu ; and
we have many Institutions here e dy
tee ready te help these in want, if they
will let their needs be known. As your
correspondent says, when their cases
are known they are "gloriously heaped
with their needs," but in Armenia and
Russia It's entirely different; tlurrc
thousands or millions of cases art
known, but there Is absolutely net half
enough bread even te give them, and se
they die dally, while most of us have
PlnM- I.T,-U nll
Mr. Arlington mjbp " ,,"".". ",
have tnken care of our own. but I
sav wbv "wait"? Let's feed them
both at the same time. If some one
starts a drive te feed starving Ameri
cans I'll contribute what I can afford.
I must admit I've only just started
te contribute te the Armenian relief
fund nnd feel guilty for neglecting It,
though I've often contributed te vari
ous charitable organizations and te
down-and-outs in the street. Person
ally I'm going te contribute something
everv week till they tell me te step.
Let us all make a little sacrifice and net
live te ourselves only. If wc had the
starving children near us, where xve
could see their sufferings, wc should all
rush te share with them what xve have,
I'm sure, but tbey seem se faraway.

Case of the Kearny Scheel
Te the Editor! et th Evelina PuWe Ltdatri
Sir One would never for a moment
suspect, or nt least believe, that
"politics" of the meanest nnd most
selfish sort hns just lately been
successfully put ever in the Kearny
Scheel. Teachers who have taught
there from ten te twenty years
will, like leaves In the wind, be blown
te ether buildings. What a fine piece
of school mismanagement ! It la a simple
way "te broom" teachers out!
Unfortunately the teachers are net
the'enly ones te be victims. There nre
ethers, namely, the young children
children who can least of all go the
long distances and consequently are In
great danger four times n day in going
te and from school, many of, whom
must necessarily . walk approximately
two miles (reverting te Colonial days),
while en the ether hand classes of ether
schools will be admitted t the new
building, although hundreds of pupils
living at a stone's tlirew from the school
will net Ims admitted. That a a re
markable bit of foresight.
Te think that such procedure In our
fair community and especially in a con cen
ecsted district (Sixth street and fair-
mount avenue) , sneuiii ee
makes one question whether our school
system is democratic or autocratic.
If there i anything like public
opinion, in the Thirteenth Ward par
ticularly, new is the time for the : pcep e
te net nnd justly demnnil that their
veung children, who nre the very ones
. ...i . ,m.tn-ilntc building and
who are the least able te tramp long
distances, aheuld. for their benefit, peti
tion the Beard of Education te make the
Kearny Scheel a regular grammar
grade school. .." bl

Give Prohibition a Chance
Te t'.e Editor of the Evening Tu&Ilc T.edecri
SirThe irreconcilable "wets" xveuld
have us believe that the United States
Government loses $2,000,000,000 yearly
in revenue because of prohibition. The
figures quoted nre for the drink bill of
the Natien before the advent of pro
hibition. Bevcnue received was less
than si quarter of that. The revenue re
ceived never paid for the results of the
liquor traffic. A Philadelphia news
paper made n survey of this question
in this city in 1010, nnd found that,
although ?2,000,000 was received by
the cltv In taxes from the booze bus
iness, it took $4,000,000 te take care
of the lesults of the traffic.
At an intcr-hespltal conference held
In Peughkeepsic, N. Y. Inst month,
papers read lv Dr. B. It. Vx illlams and
Br W J. Thompson, of the Hudsen
River State Hospital, stated that since
prohibition went Inte effect the num
ber of insane admitted te New Yurk
Institutions as a result of alcohe'ic
drinking had decreased BO per cent.
Commander Beeth, of the Salvation
Armv. says that the army's annual
boozer.-,' day bus been abandoned and
the dnv is new Given ever te entertain
the ticwsbes nnd peer youngsters of
the city. Mere than G000 boys under
fourteen yenrs old were entertained. The
boys were benefited because one of the
greatest nines of humanity had been
removed from men anil xveincn.
The snloen and the booze business
nre bi coders of crime. De away with
It nnd veu lessen crime. Prohibition is
net responsible for the crime wave which

Ethical Reputation
"e the Editor et ti Evening Publio Leitutr:
Sir The cleanlnR-up iirecewes in
baseball and tin movies new being con.
ducted by .Judge I.andls nnd Will IIiij-h
apparently indicate that the umiisement
world is eepinning te realize unit, in
addition te the well recognized value of
geed will In liiiHlness, there is nlse n
very tangible value In an ethical repu
tation. And. in this connection, I may be
permitted te ob-erve nn ethical repu
tation cannot be purchased or ob
tained in any way except by the flew
preceHs of building It up, iih any ether
reputation is built up.
This is eminently true, nnd if thes-e
at the head of the amusement enterprises
have calculated that tbey can buy an
ethical reputation by their expenditure
et large auina in Kiiaries ler tlienu gen
tlemen, they nre of course mistaken.
ObvieuBly, the first step toward the
regeneration of any entcrnrlse or nnv
Individual departure from ethical stand

which have grown up In tbe period of

IJeth Mr. Hays and .Tudgc'Landls ap
pear te realise this fact and arc setting

te expect the rc-cstabllshmeut of a

Blind Newsboy's Courage
Te the Editor of the Evenine Public Udetrl
Sir Will you print this in your col
umn of letters? While buying my
Evenixe Puhme IdCDOEii 1 looked
down at the newsboy and saw h wns
blind. .1 glve him a nickel and tried te
hurry away se that he could net give
mc the change. That boy turned his
sightless eyes toward me and said:
"Lady, I cannot ncccpt charity. Be
cause I am blind is no reason why I
cannot earn my living, and I'm going
te de it: nnd altheush I thank veu I
will net take any mere than the price
of the paper."
Can you knexv hew I felt as I turned
te the sunshine? That boy was en
Twelfth street near Ranttead, a few
steps from the Reading Terminal mar
ket in a place xvhern these who hurry
might net see him.
There are many who pass that neigh
borhood each day. Won't you give him
a cheery "hello?" Te meet such a char
acter In these days of begging makes
one want te help.
As I walked away I felt ashamed that
I ever felt blue and discouraged. t a
blind bdy can have such courage, xve
who have sight should be dauntless!
Ge n step out of your way. Yeu will
