Editorial Correspondence
NEW YORK CITY, Aug.
at the Rivoli. It waa our first experience at a movie "first
night" and it reminded us of grand opera. The place was
crowded with people who didn't go there so much to see the
performance, as to see the notables who were there. In this
direction the show was a flop as far as the Medford delegation
was concerned. ' ;
According to the papers, many notables were to be on hand
including Sylvia Sydney, the star of Dead End, Harpo Marx,
Jack Denipsey, George Jean Nathan, Sally Eilcrs, Leslie
Howard, Fannie Hurst and many others. But Sally Eilers was
the only one detected in the darkness that prevailed, and there
was some doubt of her identity. The main trouble appeared
to be we had seats down stairs among the notables, we there
fore couldn't see the forest because of the trees. In fact the
entire lower floor seats were given away. Those who paid
their way sat in the balcony and gallery. Judging by the
craning necks and peering eyes from above, and occasional
bursts of applause those who paid for the privilege of celebrity
hunting were rewarded. We weren't. And it was a veritable
bum's rush, to get out of the place and find an empty taxi.
.....
We never did think much of the movie premiere racket,
and think nothing at all of it now. Those who pay two or
three prices for a ticket the average is about $5, are easy
marks. Those who crowd the entrance when the stars go in
and come out, are the smart ones they get what they want
and don't pay a dime!
Having seen the stage play,
of action, the other day, "Dead End" was disappointing.
It's a good enough movie as movies go, but the whole thing
has been sugar-coated, romanticized, and therefore the real
force of the drama, as a realistic and forceful social document,
has been weakened, devitalized and denatured. The salty
and vulgar jargon of the waterfront "kids" for example has
been eliminated; the unforgettable and shocking dressing-down
of Baby Face Martin bv his mother, has also been "REFINED"
to meet the demands of Mr. Will Hays; while Dave instead of
being a cripple and a squealer on one of his old time pals
is the typical cincnui hero, Joel McCrca, who defies the villain, count. The coaltar substitute tever
and finally does him in with a well directed shot after a chase reducer, are cheap compared with

futility of it all. It ended on

again, and the water front gang presumably continuing to
steer clear of anything that would shock the sensibilities of a
T. M. C. A. secretary, sings "If I Had the Wings of an Angel"
as there is a final fade-out of the waterfront and tenement
districts of the Upper East Side.
.....
In short the movio "Dead End", demonstrates, why the
legitimate theatre- is practically eliminated in this country
except in New York City, and why as an art form, it is so far
ahead of the American cinema. "Dead End", as spoken dramn,
is still being played here, and will probably continue, princi
pally because of "the strong renlistic qualities, that Hollywood
eliminated. The movie "Dead End" appealing more to popular
taste and box office demand, will make money for a year
perhaps and then be forgotten, and laid aside never to be
revived. New York will support true dramatio art, the pro
vinces won't, at least until New York places its stamp of
approval upon some box office ' success. Consequently, the
legitimate theatre lives here only, and the movies, which place
profits first, succeed in that direction, approximately as they
fail in the other.
No one can stav in New York for any length of time without
being impressed by the authenticity of Dead End. The striking
contrasts in that play, poverty living shoulder to shoulder
with luxury, squalor and suffering next to ease and wealth it s
apparent here nil the time. Not only at the end of East 53d
street, but Park Avonue is only two blocks from Third
Avenue. Sherry's a stone's throw, from Gus the Greek's!

QUININE
Quinine sulphste Is a poulsr rem

the influenza type. Physicians and
research workers In Germany. Japan

It is preferable to take quinine In
capsules, two-grain capsules. Pills or
tablets are not so certain, for they
are less soluble.

A great many physicians have pre-

and still use as favorite treatment
for grip from one to three grains of
quinine every three or four hours

things are combined in the dose, such

septlc or a few grains of some alkali
or a sedative, but the quinine is the

Almost as soon as Representative

as his metier.
He was the author of the Income

1918.

President -elect Roosevelt called In

Day s News
By FBANK JENKINS
IF YOU are a farmer (or are inter
ested in farming) here are some
figures that should Interest you:
In tha fiscal year ending June 30,
our agricultural exports ( meaning
sales to other countries) amounted
to 732,839,000.
In the same period, our agrlcul
tural IMPORTS (meaning PUR
CHASES from other countries)
amounted to 1, 539,239,000.
THAT la to ssy. in the year ending
June 30 we bought from other
countries EIGHT HUNDRED MIL
LION DOLLARS more in the way of
agricultural products than we sold.
In the year before last, we bought
from abroad four hundred million
dollars more of agricultural products
than we sold.
In the two years, our foreign
PURCHASES have exceeded our for
eign SALES by nearly a billion and
a quarter.
IJOW come?
a A Well, we NEEDED these pro
ducts, so we bought them. Not hav
ing as much of them as we re
quired, we bought wherever we could
find them.
That is the way business Is done.
IlHY didn't we have them?
TT Some of them, of course, such
bananas and coffee, we don't
produce, because of climatic condi
tions. Others, such as corn and pork
and beef, we were SHORT OF be
cause we had hired our own farmers
not to produce them.
In some cases, we had actually
DESTROYED our previous Burplus.
liyiAYBE it is all right to hire our
1T1 own farmers not to produce,
paying . them- with money taken
from consumers in the form of
tax on food or other taxes that
unavoidably are added to the cost
of what people buy.
Maybe it Is all right to destroy
surpluses such as killing pigs and
plowing under crops to get rid of
them.
The politicians who did It before
tell us It Is going to be necessary
to DO IT AGAIN in order to prevent
American agriculture from collap
sing. They insist that we must have
another AAA.
