He appeared last night at the Man-
hattan Opera House in a recital of
standard adult numbers and won the
warm commendation of critics and
his audience.
One critic wrote; “The natural
wonder that a youth of so tender
years should play in public was swal-
lowed up, after a few phrases, in
wonder that he was able to do it so
well.”
Another wrote: “The child is truly
astonishing. His technical equipment
is more than equal to the demands
of the music he played.”

“GRAND DUCHESS AND THE
WAITER COMES TO CAPITOL
The new Paramount picture, top-
ping the Capitol Theatre bill next
week, “The Grand Duchess and the
Waiter,” is a picturization of Alfred
Savoir’s celebrated play of the same
name, which recently scored a tre-
mendous success both in Europe and
in America.
The sparkling story, which is re-
garded as one of the best ever writ-
ten by the famous French play-
wright, was first produced in Paris
and later appeared in England.. With
Elsie Ferguson and Basil Rathbone
in the leading roles, it was put upon
- the American stage, and played at
the Lyceum Theatre in New. York.
The heroine of the picture is Flor-
ence Vidor, a haughty Russian Grand
Duchess, who is forced to flee to
Paris following the rise of revolu-
tionists in her home' country. Adol-
phe Menjou portrays the part of an
adveturous young cavalier, of the
Boulevards who, for the love of Miss
Vidor, masquerades as a floor-wafter
in her hotel suite that he may be
near her always.

Jewish Artisan Class in
Poland Face Starvation
Shown by Investigation
Warsaw, (J.T.A.)—The effects of
the economic crisis upon the Jew-
ish population in Poland were brought
out by an investigation made by the
central organization of Jewish Ar-
tisans here. The Jewish artisans in
the city of Warsaw are facing a ca-
tastrophe, according to figures ob-
tained by the organization.
Of the 2,800 shoe-making estab-
lishments, 2,060 are closed; the rest
are working only two days a week.
The situation is even worse in the
knitting industry which has a four
months season. Two hundred and
fifty workshops in this industry did
not open this year. In the men’s
tailoring industry, which is compris-
ed" of 3,000 workshops, 2,550 are
- closed. Tailors who worked for men’s
clothing stores have been out of em-
ployment for several months. Sixty
percent of the 180 embroidery shops
have been closed for many months.
Fifty of the 100 brush factories are
closed. Three hundred cabinet mak-
ers have closed their shops.
These figures are only for War-
saw, similar alarming reports arrive
from other centers.

CHINESE AUTHORITIES PER-

Harbin, Dec. 30 (J. T. A.)—Pro-
hibition of the Yiddish language by
Chinese authorities in the Far East-
ern Republic of Harbin caused the
protest of the Jewish population dur-
ing the Feast of Lights celebrations.
Although the ordinance prohibit-
ing the use of the Yiddish language
in public places was issued in 1920,
its strict enforcement did not begin

New York City—In an article con-
tributed to the January number of
“The Jewish Woman,’’ the quarterly
publication of the National Council
of Jewish Women, Miss Malvyn
Wachner, who is Superintendent of
the Jewish Social, Service Federa-
tion of Akron, states in the course
of her article that the automobile
transient with a Florida story, is the
latest development of the itinerant
beggar type. She presents the fol-
lowing facts in the course of her ar-
ticle:
“The itinerant is a versatile in-
dividual. His stories are made up to
be in keeping with the economic con-
ditions. His mode of travel varies
with the transportation of the times.
Today one of the most popular stories
is the one in which Florida is in-
volved.
“He arrives via the automoblie.
It is a much easier and surer method.
“In fact from western and southern

“BLUE BEARD’S SEVEN WIVES”

TW eomtdy parade of motion pie-

Queen Theatre Saturday, when Rob-
ert T. Kane’s First National Picture,
“Bluebeard’s Seven Wives,” will be
on view. It is rare that so many
notables of the screen have been
grouped together in one picture.
Blanche Sweet, Lois Wilson, Ben Ly-
on, Dorothy Sehastian, Diana Kane,
and Sam Hardy comprise part of the
large cast.
The story is about a poor bank
clerk, in love with a waitress, who
is made into the most heart-break-

efficient work of a movie press
agent. As a whole, the picture is

---- -o----—_
If you cannot give frequent, en.-
couraging words of cheer to your
home-mates and to those with whom
you come in contact during your
working hours, it would be better to
bridle your tongue and seal your
lips.
A rough word roughly spoken pro-
duces nothing but evil and drives
many a sensitive soul to despair. It
arouses animosity and hate, quite the
opposite of a kindly word which a-
wakens slumbering emotions and
kindles a beneficent flame of love.
It may, at times, especially when
you are not in a pleasant humor,
cost a great effort to launch the
cheerful word, but if you will brush
aside your own turbulent feelings,
and send forth the cheer and sun-
shine of which you are capable of
doing, you, too, to your amazement,
will participate in their delicious*
sweets and enjoy the thrill of an un-
anticipated pleasure.
From the first moment when you
begin to practice the scattering of
cheering words, the whole atmos-
phere around you changes.
The world somehow seems drawn
closer to heaven, and everything
and everybody about you appears
brighter and happier.
In realtiy, there is no"change ex-
cept in yourself. You sown happi-
ness and are reaping happiness.
You have flung broadcast the sanc-
tified blessings and they are return-
ing to you from every point of the
compass, filling your soul with a joy-
unspeakable. •
It is you who are nearer heaven,
participating in its delights without
knowing it, growing more lovable as
the years speed by, dim your eye
and whiten your hair.
Old friends turn to you in their
k.tow for comfort.
The boys and girls go out of their
way to meet and greet you.
Even the derelicts have in some
manner heard your praises sung and
respect you.
Their bleary eyes brighten and
their tough old hearts soften when
your name is spoken, in spite of their
agents and screen vampires.
