AT THE WHITNEY
To have nothing but the truth in
real life in this day of exaggeration
and misstatement would be a little
out of the ordinary. This is thersup-
position of "Nothing But the Truth,"
which comes for two evening perform-
ances, Feb. 8 and 9, at the Whitney
heater.
The humor of the farce is inherent
to its action as the story is unfolded,
of the $10,000 wager made by the
buoyant spirited central character,
who takes upon himself the burden of
truthfulness. It is a play of stong
character drawing and is something
out of the ordinary, in that it is not
based upon risque situations.
"Fiddlers Three," starring Tavie
Belge, the Belgium prima donna, is
to be played Thursday, Feb. 6, at the
Whitney theater.
AT THE MAJESTIC
When a man has a position as a
shipping clerk at $21 a week and has
to take his girl home in a taxi and
pay $10.20 for that event, he feels that
something radical must be done. This
is the situation with which Bryant
Washburn copes in "The Way of a
Man With a Maid," which is to be
seen Sunday and Monday at the Maj-
estic theater. Instead of making him
despondent this prods him on to
greater ambitions, so that he soon
rises to higher positions and is able
to lavishnwthe pretty stenographer
the attentions. which she demands.
As soon as he tells her of his love,
however, a complete change takes
place and she insists on saving his
money.
AT THE WUERTH
Zane Grey's romance, "The Light
of Western Skies," is to be seen at
the Wuerth theater Sunday and
Monday with Dustin Farnum in the
lead.
The plot concerns Gene Stewart. a
wild and popular cow-boy of the
southwestern border, who makes a
reckless wager to marry the first girl
who comes to the little western town.
That night a pretty girl, unattend-
ed, alights from an eastern train.
Stewart drags a padre to the depot
and forces him at the point of, a
gun to start the marriage. Midway
in the ceremony he finds that she is
Majesty Hammond, the sister of the
rancher for whom he is foreman.
He tries to square himself for this
aggression, and his manliness arous-
es the admiration of Majesty, which
regard grows into love as he bat-
ties with some Mexicans in gueril-
la warfare. She finds from the pa
that she is rightfully his wife and the
film is ended by the thrilling es-
cape of Gene from treacherous Mex-
icans who are plotting against his
life.
AT THE ORPHEUM
"Eight Bells," a comedy, is a film
version of the stage success in which
the Byrne brothers toured 'America
for 15 years.. It is to be seen Sun-
day and Monday at the Orpheum
theater. The Byrne brothers were
famous acrobats, and invented many
acts with trick ships, trick doors, and
the black art. These together with
numerous stunts are to be found in
this recent film.

Waslwomen Gain
First Hun Victory
(By Associated Press)
Coblenz, Feb. 1.-The German wash-
erwomen of Coblenz have won a vic-
tory in their first skirmish with offi-
cers of the American Army of Occupa-
tion. Lack of soap caused the compli-
cations.
In Germany soap is in greater de-
mand than chocolate or tobacco. The
poorer classes virtually have been
without it for years, managing to get
along somehow by the use of inferior
substitutes. Many of the washerwom-
en of pre-war days had gone out of
business--until the Americans came.
Soldiers Must Keep Clean
When the travel soiled Americans
arrived in Coblenz by the thousand
naturally there was a grand. rush to
send out bundles of washing. The
women were perfectly willing to do
the work, but they demanded a cake
of soap with each consignment of
clothing. The Americans scoffed at
the suggestion.
The laundries had all they could do
to attend to their old customers and
a limited number of new ones, and
bundle after bundle sent out by gen-
erals and colonels and privates too
were returned in a hurry. And
back again toathe washerwomen went
the bundles, and the women return-
ed them to the officers with the sim-
ple explanation, "No soap." All the
pleadings of the German speaking or-
derlies had absolutely no effect.
Cannot Wash Without Soap
Even the terms of the armistice
were considered, but there was no
reference to the shortage of soap,
and so the situation became worse
day after day. Just when it appear-
ed that- the Army of Occupation
would be compelled to get into the
laundry business a United States
sales commissary opened in Coblenz
and an officer discovered plenty of
soap for a few cents a cake.
Then the bundles began going to
the washerwomen in great numbers
and wrapped in the center of each
was a nice little white piece of soap.
And when the bundles came back all
the clothing was clean and the wash-
erwomen of Coblenz are now doing
the greatest business in their his-
tory-with the Americans furnishing
the soap.
