postpone act on on legislation recii
luting the meat necking inilustdv until
the next scion of congress. ix
committeemen opposed the delay.
The committee voted to make the
legislation an order of unfinished

Ono of the outstanding motion pic
ture productions of the year is the
screen version of Augustus Thomas',
brilliant play, "Tho Copperhead,"
which with Lionel Harry m ore In the
leading role, opened ft four days'
u n ut the Hiulto theatre last even

of every admirer of really fine photo

constructed and' twice reconstructed

been prouueed. The success that has
