MARMON 34 I arouse interest among women in con? ditions affecting the health of children, to uncover conditions ?actually existing in the schools of the state and to draw conclusions \from the evidence as to what is necessary in the way of edu? cational reform. Consolidation in Rural Districts ?n a preliminary statement of the accomplishments of the first part of the survey, signed by Dr. S. Josephine Baker and Dr. Dorothy C Kempf, they say: "One of the foremost needs is con? solidation in rural districts. The school district now is an area two j miles square and the result is that j there arc fifteen schools in the state. ; with only one pupil. It is obviously j an inefficient system that permits the i equipment and maintenance of a school for only two or three pupils, when j through consolidation of the districts, i W|ith transportation provided for the j children, a far better training could j be given at less cost. Efforts to bring | about consolidation often are met with j stubborn resistance. I "To particularize, a school in one i'of our counties has been conducted for j several years with only three pupils. ! The school trustee happens to be the father of the three children. He is abo employed as janitor of the school, and, to clinch it, he boards the teacher." Calls Country School Archaic Disadvantages of the country school child in comparison with city trained children were pointed out yesterday by Professor Mabel Carney, of Colum? bia University, after a conference with country school superintendents from all over the nation. After referring to the fact that the country school term averages 137 days a year, as against 187 for city children, ; and that the country child suffers from j inefficient teaching as well as poor i administration in country schools, i Professor Carney said: j "That country children prosper as j well as they do is due more largely to the wholesome influence of the aver? age country home than to any advan? tage gained in the one-teacher school. The latter is an archaic institution j which should be abandoned. The wis i est and most direct solution of our | national country life problem is to be | attained through proper attention to I the rural schools of the country. On the Screen ! "End of the World," at Rialto, No Refuge for Cherry and Her Three Admirers "At the End of the World"?this lo? cative title of the new picture at the Rialto Theater identifies the spot where Cherry O'Day's three admirers have flown to drown black care. Of course, Cherry flies there too?from Shanghai. The end of the world is the one place that most people would fly to. It has the exclusiveness of the square meal. The square meal will lure many a person who would indignantly reject one in the shape of the parallelopipe don. The writer of the subtitles has en? dowed "The End of the World" with plenty of lure. There is the "lure of the East," which is strong, and the ; "lure of the storm."?to mention just j two of our best known lures. Miss ! Betty Compton endowed it with a very handsome heroine in Cherry and a wardrobe which is in itself a snare, j Thi3 is a Lasky picture, adapted ; from Ernest Klein's play, and is the maiden effort in direction by Pen- j rhyn Stanlaws, the painter. The pic torial quality of its scenes has regis-1 tered the illustrator in a very effec? tive manner. Cherry is the daughter of a Shanghai dive keeper, who uses her as an ac? celerator of trade and wine agents. He has armed her with this cynic principle: "All men are evil. Play with them to your heart's content, but keep them at arm's length." Gesture. So all in the course of business, Cherry engages herself to Donald MacGregor, a burly sailor; toys with Harvey Allen, a young bank clerk, who steals the bonds for her, and fall3 unscrupulously in love with Gordon Dean, an American yachtsman. Then the father is plugged through the heart by a gam? bler and Cherry marries the banker, who is ready money. But Shanghai's social set will not re? ceive Cherry, which is bad for the banking business, so a divorce is I agreed to. Then Gordon Dean shows up "by unexpected fate," the sub-title says, which is all wrong, for it was de? cidedly expected?the story clamors for him with strong outcries. Gordon squares up Harvey "Allen's theft and takes him and the thick-thewed sailor to the bleak and barren Dragon'3 Reef Lighthouse, "at the end of the world," where the three can have peace and | quiet. Cherry discovers the retreat and fol i lows, but before she ai-rivea the sailor has gone mad brooding over her, and the bank clerk, too, has become bewild? ered with love. It is the lure of the storm that takes Gordon Dean out to tho rocks the night Cherry is wrecked and washed ashore. The fight among the three men provides an intensely dra? matic situation. Of course, you know Gordon Dean is going to survive, but the fight is none the less thrilling. Milton Sills invests the part of Dean with likagle heroics. A Clyde Cook comedy, "The Sailor," proved the comic relief in the program. Also there are some unusually interest? ing music numbers. The overture is the temple scene from "Aida"?the consecration nnd first finale. Susan Ida Clough, mezzo-soprano; Carlo Enciso, tenor, and James Woolf, basso, are as? sisted by an excellent chorus. Lillian Powell, Ivy Ladd and Anna Belel are the dancers. Marcel Salesco sings an aria from "The Masked Ball," by Verdi. And other music numbers are featured. At tho Strand Constance Talmadge in "Wedding Bells" is the featured picture. This will be reviewed to? morrow. "A Virgin Paradise," tho William Fox picture, has been transferred from the Park to tho Capitol Theater. Under the title "Revue de L'Op?ra" Alexander Rose sings the prologue from "Pagliaeci," Miss Maria Samson | Tho Letter Song from "Madam But i terfly," the Capitol mixed quartet, i the quartet from "Rigoletto" and i the grand chorus, the "Tannhauser ! March." Chamir/ade's "Scarf Dance" j is done by members of Alexander j Oumansky's ballet. "Little Old New | York" gives comparative views of ; early and modern landmarks. "Experience" continues at the Rivoli ? and "The Golem" at the Criterion. The title of "Perjury," in which Wil? liam 1'arnum is presented at the Park Theater this week, was selected, one j would imagine, because the list of films available for attractive movie titles has been almost exhausted by the unnum? bered films which recently have scored by moral-coated appeals to the sup? pressed desires of the semi-Puritan mind. The picture is in reality a most ingenious attempt to crowd into six reels every form of human baseness, and jealousy, anger, cowardice, gossip? ing, treachery, robbery, money lust, sex | lust, murder or hypocrisy might with ' equal justice have been assigned the title r?le. The captions are so thoroughly moral that'it is a pity that the name of their author was withheld. And the censors must have rejoiced as one ; after the other the idyllic home, the | constant wife, the good girl, the son ? fighting for the happiness of his moth- j er and the faithful lover were brought , forward. One villain is shot with the full approval of the district attorney, and God's justice overtakes the other* "Dulcy" at Frazee A Merry Play Of Deft Satire Lynn Fontann'e Scores in Comedy by G. S.

Dulcy, by Gt'orge S. Kaufman and Marc Connelly, ; was produced at the Frazee on Satur? day night. The new comedy is built around the character of Dulcinea, cre? ated by Franklin P. Adams in the Con? ning Tower. It seems to us that the authors, aiming at a certain ob? ject, have hit something else on the ricochet. This by-product of their marksmanship happens to be,the more valuable prize of the two. The intent of the playwrights has been to satirize the making of bro? mides, with Dulcy as the. horrible ex? ample. .This is- an amusing pastime, but it does not begin to be as hilari? ously funny as the incidental satire directed against the makers of national advertising and motion pictures. Vincent Leach, scenarist, seems to us by far the happiest characterization in the play. It is Leach who obliges the company at Dulcy's house party by de? scribing the plot of his new film, a super feature picture not released on the regular program. His scenario is en? titled "Sin," and, beginning with Noah's Ark, it describes the progress of evil through the ages. Long before Mr. Leach has finished his outline of the first reel the curtain descends to indi in the form of heart failure as soon as he has confessed the murder of which he had convicted his best friend. The parting of the, hero and his faithful spouse at the prison door and the scene where he pleads with the warden not to drive him out into the cold, hard world from the kindly shel? ter of his cell just because his inno? cence has been established twenty years -too late are particularly touch? ing. Ho finally returns to his home, however, arriving just in time to save his son from murder, his daughter from a life of shame and his wife from the brutalities of a second husband. The appropriate happy ending follows. The picture should make a big hit on Fourteenth Street.

Coming to tlie final reel we are in? formed that Fred kisses Clara, and "to | preserve tho symbolism Marc Antonv is immediately shown kissing Cleopatra and George Washington kissing Martha Washington." The whole scene of ? Leach's recital and its effect upon the ; composite house party is the most suc? cessful portion in the play and as deft and happy a piece of satire, or possibly burlesque, as the stage has known in our time. The young advertising man who has made the country "Forbes-conscious" is almost as good and the snatch of the musical evening which we are per? mitted to see is another gloriomt piece of foolery. From our point of view the richness of the new comedy is found chiefly between the rib*. It tells a story which is an ingenious and workmanlike manipulation of moder? ately familiar theatrical material. We have, for instance, the big merger, the mysterious millionaire who turns out to be somebody else, and the pearl necklace. In handling all this Mr. Kaufman and Mr. Connelly have ob? served the workings of the theater to good effect. But they have done, bet? ter than that in the rest periods be? tween the rounds. The towels fly faster than the more premeditated punches and stir more breeze. And on the breeze come currents from the world outside the theater. This gives Dulcy the air which makes it tingle. It achieves in its best moments an impromptu spirit which challenges the moods of Clare Kummer and of Tark ington. This is a gaiety so free that it owes no allegience to plot or to plan. It salts the tail of the diem and catches it. The first medal for shaking the shaker belongs to Lynn Fontanne. This is an exceedingly merry perform? ance. The humor of n young woman supposed to be a deadly bore might actually become so in less skillful hands, but Miss Fontanne preserves the spirit of mockery and the authors have been wise enough never to let the bromides swirl into drifts. Howard Lindsay, who staged the piece, is very funny ns the motion picture writer and Elliott Nugent does capital work as tho young advertising man. Greg? ory Kelly is funny, but a shade too much aware of his opportunities. He has a trick of hurling every line as if it were a bombshell. Gilbert Douglas, Wallis Clark, John Westley and George ? Alison are all effective. Dulcy is an ! ingenious trick play and the patter ! which introduces the legerdemain is even better than the stunts. j Rurplars Shoot Barber Twice j As He Surprises Them in Shop Joseph Denare, a barber, of 1476 j Williamsbridgc Road, suffered two bul ? let wounds early yesterday after he ' had been awakened by burglars.

White Denounces Republican Tax Revision Measure Change in Bill, Democratic Chairman Asserts, 'Has Added Confusion to Gov? ernment's Fiscal Situation' WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.?The Ad? ministration tax revision program was attacked to-night by Chairman White of the Democratic National Committee, who declared in a formal statement that business men would not be fooled by the methods adopted by the Repub? licans "in order to make a false show of economy." "The sudden change in the Republi? can tax bill ^program decided upon at the recent White House conference," said Mr. White, "has only added con? fusion r.nd uncertainty to the govern? ment's fiscal situation, nnd business and financial circles generally are sur? prised and disappointed at President Harding's repudiation o? Secretary of the Treasury Mellon as his fiscal ad? viser and his recognition instead of Chairman Fordney of the Ways and Means Committee as the financial guide of his Administration. "Secretary Mellon told Congress presumably with the knowledge and approval of the President, that he will need $4,1)54,000,000 to meet government expenditures for the next fiscal year He told Congress also, in view of thes? expenditures, that taxes cannot b? reduced. "This meant, of course, that the Re. publican campaign promise to reduce Federal taxes would not and, in fact ! could not be kept. "Chairman Fordney, who wrote th( wonderful tariff bill of which the Sen ; ate is expected to leave only the en ! acting clause, came to the pol?tica j rescue of the Administration and an j nounced a plan to reduce taxes regard less of the amount of money ncede< to meet expenditures which would era ! ate a deficit to be taken care of by bor | rowing the money, thus Increasing th< I public debt; but, as the optimistic Mr j Fordney saw it, his plan would maki it appear that the party was keepini | its campaign pledge to reduce taxe ? and was making a grand record o . economy. "Upon his return from his vacation j President Harding was called upon t ' choose between the Mellon plan o i providing for enough revenue to mee expenditures and the Fordney plan fo juggling the taxes by fictitious reduc I tions and a false show of economy. H I chose the Fordney plan, seeming! ! sacrificing an honest financial polic to political expediency, which ought t deceive nobody. "The business world has waited Ion for a sane and honest revenue act i order to adjust its affairs and escap the business stagnation caused by tw years' delay under Republican rule i i revising the internal taxes. It will nc be satisfied with this sort of politicr I jugglery. Speaking as a business ma | myself, I warn the Republican Admir j istration that business men will nc be fooled by such methods in order t make a false show of economy."
