FRELINGHUYSEN EXPLAINS
HIS STAND ON BONUS
In reference to the Adjusted
compensation bill the cause of such
lias been recommitted as a result of
a direct a/peal by President Hard
ins on Tuesday, the following letter
has been received by John Mulligan,
Department Commander of the
New Jersey Veterans of Foreign
Wars from Senator Joseph S. Fre
linghuyscn, setting forth the posl
Lion of the Senator regarding the
bill:
“'Replying to your recent letter, no
one is more willing than I to be not
merely just but generous to those who
risked their lives for the nation. The
record of the party of which I am
a member is proof that veterans wilt
receive fair treatment. Veterans
who risked all in the performance of
duty surely expect me and all repre
sentatives to perform our duty cour
ageously and conscientiously. What
Is our duty?
‘“The President advises, the secre
tary of the treasury advises, and the
great majority of able men who have
studied the situation advise that the
passage of the bonus bill at the pres
ent time would expose the nation to
the risk of financial disaster. If now
passed, even the veterans would lose,
for I am convinced that their share
in the losses which would result
from the great depression that would
ensue would exceed any profit they
might derive from the bill.
“'What is more, we cannot afford
to place the nation in a position
where it may be unable to fully per
form its duty to the disabled veter
ans. Convinced that the enactment
of the bonus bill at the present ‘time
simply invites disaster, I cannot be
lieve that veterans who are in good
health and who have given thought
to the matter will urge immediate
action which may and probably will
impair the ability of the nation to
do what it should for the disabled.
Our duty is first to them and until
it is evident that in addition to car
ing for them we can also assist all
others, those who are in sound health
should wait.
““The advice of the President In
his message to the senate on the
12th is most timely and I commend
It to your careful consideration.”

THEATRES
Monday at Crescent
Just what tills home famine
means to children is most con
vincingly set forth in "Welcome
Children," a National Exchanges
feature, written and directed by
H. C. Matthews, which will be seen
at the Crescent theatre for three
days next week. The title. "Wel
come Children" is gently ironical
and Its irony will be well under
stood when one has seen the pic
ture.
Briefly, “Welcome Children” tells
the story of nine parentless young
sters who are left to shift for
themselves. They come face to
face with the bitter fact that while
there seems to be room for any
and everyone else In the world,
children are taboo.
“Welcqme Children" Is both
timely ^and intensely interesting.
Despite tho seriousness of the situ
ation confronting them, the chil
dren for »’l that are children, and
their childish pranks bring a laugh
for every tear you shed over and
with them in their distress.
Buck Jones, the cowboy star who
has become so poxiular within th>
past year, will be at the Crescent
theatre next Monday In his latest
William Fox picture. “The One
Man Trail.” Buck does some fancy
and some daredevil riding in this
picture, and has a fine acting part.
Buck's love-making is said to bo
quite a treat in itself. Beatrice
Burnham plays opposite him. In
the cast also are Helene' Rosson and
James Farley.
Coming to the Strand
Elaine Hammerstein, one of the
most popular young women on the
screen, is the star of the latest Selz
nlck picture, "The Girl from No
where,” which will be seen at the
Strand theatre next Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday.
There are few stars who have
reached in so short a time the high
place in public affection which is
held by Miss Hammerstein, and It
is the announced policy of the Selz
nick company to provide her with
the best stories, directors, support
ing casts and scenic equipment that
can be secured.
“The Girl from Nowhere” tells
the story of a girl who made a mis
take In her judgment of a man.
Innocent herself, she becomes im
plicated in appearance In a notori
ous jewel robbery, and escaping
from her accusers she finds herself
in a predicament less dangerous but.
if anything, more embarrassing.
Seeking shelter in a hunting lodge,
the property of a wealthy man. she
tells the caretaker, who trios to
eject her, that she Is the owner's
wife. Tho caretaker knows that his
employer is unmarried, and laughs
at her claim, but the owner himself
appears at this moment, corrobo
rates the girl's story. There is a re
porter present and the news of the
marriage of Jimmy Ryder spreads.
Complication follows complication,
until the truth finally straightens the
tangle.
Miss Hammerstein, as Mavis Cole,
has one of the most appealing roles
of her entire career. The production
was directed by George Archainbaud,
and in the supporting cast are such
familiar figures as William B. Dav
idson, Huntley Gordon, Louise
trussing and Warren Cook.
At the 1 >11 mas Monday
Unusual, novel and appealing is
"Froxies,” <the new Cosmopolitan
Faramount picture, which will be
shown at the Ditmas theatre next
Monday. Tile story has to do with a
former convict who lives straight,
but finds it hard to do so and who
actually commits a holdup and risks
imprisonment to save his benefactor
from falling victim to the wily
schemes of another man to simul
taneously make a fortune and to
break into society.
There are many thrills throughout
the action which takes placq, in a
palatial home in which Pater, the
hero, is the butler. As a result of
highly dramatic circumstances Peter
proves himself a real man despite
his prison record which is raked UP
for the purpose of ruining him. This
role is played by Norman Kerry,
who has appeared in support of nu
merous stars, and who is well known
to Paramount picture audiences.
Zena Virginia Keefe, the leading
woman, has a highly sympathetic
role. The picture was directed by
George D. Baker from his own scen
ario based upon the story by Frank
R. Adams.
The program also includes the
"Infatuation of Youth.” Two young
people sport gayly upon the edge of
the cliff—led ■'on to danger by a
scheming woman and her unscrupu
lous confederate. Without resistance
they yield to their selfish passions—
youth does not reck the price of
guilt—and as they are about to be
plunged into the abyss—as the
schemers gloat over the success of
their plot—the thoughtless young
couple are saved from their mad
folly by the unselfish love of a noble
young girl.
