gem of humor and pathos; a photo
play that ranks with tho greatest pic
tures within memory. There was one
continuous roar of laughter, " now a
happy ripple, now a tremendous cro
scendo, last night.
But there is much more than mere

interspersed among the laughs are
pathetic ..sequences which quickly

to tho eyes.

results must possess a background of
talent, and in this respect "Potash

single respect.

characters of Abe Potash and Morris
Perlmutter, whose popularity has
grown as they passed from magazine
to book form, thenco to tho stage,
assisted in filming his story.
Lending the cast are Harney Ber

REOPEN HEARING'
ALIEN LAND CASE
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27. An effort
to reopen one pliaso of the alien land
law cases recently decided by tho su
premo court was embodied In a motion
for a rehearing submitted today by J.
J. O'Hrien and J. Inouyo.
As the owner of a farm In Santa
Clara county, California O'Brien
sought to enter Into a cropping con
tract with Inouyo under which the lat
ter could work the farm and receive
ns his pay a part of the crops. The
supreme court docided that they had
no right under the constitution or the
treaty with Japan to enter Into such
a contract, and tlmt the contract was
In violation of the alien land laws of
the stute.
In asking the court to review Us
decision, O'Brien and inouyo declared
tho courts of California had held that
the proposed contract was not In vio
lation of tho stato alien land laws and
Insisted that tho decision of tho stato
supremo court had, they contended,
exceeded its authority iu their case
when it passed upon the constitution
ality of the law.

NEW YORK. Dec. 27. Reinforce
ment of tho coast guard rum block
ade with shipping board craft, navy,
destroyers,' ealo boats and sub-1
chasers would be Impracticable and
uneconomical says Secretary of tho
Treasury Mellon In a U'tter received
today by IT. M. Cryst. managing editor (
of the Brooklyn Kagle. j
The secrtary contemplates strength-,
enlng the coast guard "not only for
work In connection with prevention
of 'smuggling, but also for relief and
rescue work ftt sea." lie expresses a
belief, however, thnt new and spec- j
.ally- designed craft must bo built for
that purpose. J
Mr. Mellon's letter was In reply to
a suggestion he received from Mr.'
Cryst that vessels of the navy or tho
shipping board not now in use might
be turned over to tho coast gunrd for
use In stemming the illegal flow of
liquor from the sea. Such an ar
rangement, Mr. Cryst believes It un
necessary for Mr. Mellon to ask con
gress for an appropriation for coast
guard cutters.
The treasury department and the
commandant of coast guard have
studied the practicability from tech
nical and economical standpoints of
transferring certain' classes of naval
vessels to the coast patrol service, Mr.
Mellon says. Though It is generally
known, ho says,-that tho navy has n
considerable number of idle destroy
ers. These craft, 300 feet or more In
length, 25.000 horse power and 34
knots speed, would ost too much to
put in commission and operato as rum
chasers, and would bo too light for
regular coast guard duty.
Submarln chasera have been prove
Submarine chasers havo been
proven, according to Mr. Mellon, to
be III adapted for coast guard pur
poses, expensive to operate, unreliable
and uusatlsfuctory.

picted that it makes one cool Just to
see them.
Tho story gives the star one of her
finest parts and portrays vividly and
realistically how a woman's reputa
tion can bo torn to shreds by tho idlo
tonpues of gossips.
Tho elemental human appeal of tho
character of tho girl, suffering under

determined to fight until the wronn
is righted. Is brought out to tho full
by Miss Phillips, who strengthens hor
place as ono of tho screen's foremost
