"E
TES OF TOUTH" which
opened yesterday at the Ma
jestlo theater is a truly great
production.
Its greatness does not lie In the
spectacular, the unusual nor yet the
beauty of the production. It lies to
a great extent in the theme which
is that of youth. To the average
motion picture audience this picture
will make a direct appeal, for it tella
the story of a certain period in each
person's development which has eith
er been experienced or is in the fu
ture. Futures, at times, may be
perilously near and to those who are
at the turning point In youth, the ap
peal will be tremendous.
Clara Jvimball xoung, star oi -niyes
of Youth" has never done any better
work than she has in this her con
fessedly most pretentious role. Log
ically she would not seem the type or
person to portray "Gina" the young
girl who In the drama is at the point
of life where she must choose be
tween three distinct careers each one
of which may change the entire con
tour of her horizon and that of those
dearest and nearest to her. But in
some manner. Miss Young has por
trayed Gina so that even those quali
ties which might seem not in nar-
mony with the character have even
turned into assets. Perhaps the great
est of all changes in her work Is tnat
she no longer is apparently so anx
ious to display her personal charm
attd her wonderful clothes. They
are both there but they supplement
rather than predominate the picture.
In accompaning the picture, Cecil
Teague, Majestic organist, has made
some Interesting musical selectiops.
Metcalfe "Absent," "Un Bel Di Ven
dremo," from Madame Butterfly, and
the barcorolle from "Tales of Hoff
mann" are among the compositions
he uses to good effect.
The Sunset will have a premature
baseball season beginning tomorrow
when they present Charles Ray in
"The Busher." for four days.
Doug Fairbanks in "He Comes Up
Smiling," will be shown for the last
time tonight. .
Charlie Ray as "The Busher" ap
pears as a baseball twirler in a small
town league. He has a girl of course
and she is a small town girl. The
delaying of a baseball special with a
big league baseball team en route to
their training camp starts the action
when they decide to pick up a little
monev in the town by playing the
local "team. They play the team but
fail to pick up the money.
Ray goes to the big league and gets
what is commonly known as a
swelled head.- He forgets the small
town girl and proceeds to show his
paces. . Then comes the climax. He
is farmed out and quits baseball forever.-
That la hi lnteatloa but the

girl enters into the argument. Then
comes the best part of the picture.
The girl who undertakes to forge
her way alone into a career on the
stage must be possessed of tremen
dously strong character according to
the portrayal of that type of girl in
"The Black Gate."
This production, with Earle Will
iams as star, will open at the Star
tneater tomorrow.
The experience of the girl is dem
onstrated by Vera Hampton, a young
woman cast on the sea of theatrical
ambition. Allan Bowen, a dissolute.
unscrupulous theatrical manager lays
his tentacles upon her, and by means
of alluring promises of the career he
will create for her, seeks to bring the
gin to her spiritual ruin.
This leads to a tragedy, which In
vuives ine lives or two other men
who love the girl. One is Shaler
spencer, a former great lawyer who
has fallen into retrograde and
oblivion. The other is Wade DeFor
est, a spoiled young son of wealth.
How the latter Is arrested on a
charge of murder, and how the for
mer attempts to sell his life and go
to the death chair in the youth's
place form a plot full of the most
lenseiy dramatic kind of action.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. Jan. 1. Bitu
minous coal operators of the country
were charged with inconsistency in
their attitude toward the commission
appointed by the president to settle
the coal miners controversy, in a
statement Issued today by William
Green, secretary-treasurer of the
United Mine Workers of America.
Calling attention to the operators'
statements that they had not been
consulted about the agreement be
tween Attorney-General Palmer and
officials of the mine workers to have
the miners return to work Mr. Green
quoted from a stenographic report of
the last joint conference of the oper
ators and miners, at which the oper
ators offered and supported a resolu
tion favoring the appointment of a
tribunal to settle differences between
the employers and employes. All the
operators present, Mr. Green said,
voted for the proposal, but the miners
voted against it and defeated it.
The miners were opposed to arbi
tration until the proposition was
made by the president," Mr. Green
said in conclusion. "The vote of the
operators shows they were in favor
of just such a commission as the one
created by the president, but when
the miners accepted the plan the oper
ators suddenly changed and an
nounced they were opposed to it."
