SESSUE HAYAKAWA
WINS IN NEW DRAMA
A new Robertson Cole super-special
production, .i'Black Roses,” starring
the Inimltlble dramatic screen artist
Sessue Hayakawa, opened an engage
ment of two days yesterday at
the Coliseum Theatre. This is un
doubtedly the best plcturo that
Hayakawa has made and adds to
bis laurels as a versatile artist. In
the cast with Hayakawa is Tsuru
Aoki, his patient and pretty wife,
Who gives a performance quite as
wonderful as that of her husband.
“Black Roses” was written and
scenarized by E. Siehard Sehayer
mnd directed by Colin Campbell.
The scenes of the drama are all
laid in Amerioa with some of the
dramatic moments pictured within
the precincts of New' York's China
town. The perfection of settings,
both Interior and exterior, adds ma
terially to the value of the story.
This picture Is shown for the last
time tonight, there being two shows.
FRANK MAYO IS
AT PALACE TONIGHT
Frank Mayo Is said to have
achieved a convincing characteriza
tion In the Universal Special At
traction at the Palace, "Across the
Deadline," on tonight and Saturday.
His role is that of a son who is
cast off by his father through the
machinations of an uncle, and who
is forced to stand alone in his fight
against this uncle and against per
sons Who seek to kidnap and hold
a young girl against her will.
Clarence Budington Kelland wrote
a story that has real strength. It
concerns a feud between two broth
ers. one stern and religious, the
iDther wholly evil, a feud that re
veals its devastating course down
the avenue of twenty odd years and
through many lives. It divides a
town Into two parts, each presided
over by one of the brothers with
his own concept dt what Is right.
Opposite Mayo, Molly Malone gives
at captivating performance In the
yole of the girl who is lost, found,
claimed by several persons and ft
nallv saved from a third kidnapping
by the young son. ^

surprise and Indignation.
"I ain’t goln' ‘less I gels diplo

SCHOOL SYSTEM
OF SPOKANE IS
TO IE CHANGED
New Platoon Plan Is to Sup
plant Conventional Sys
tem Now in Use.
SPOKANE, July 13.—The coming
year will see the Inauguration of a
radical departure in Spokane'H grad
ed school system, according to (’. C.
PratJ. superintendent. If all goes^
well, the new “platoon plan” will
eventually supplant the conventional
systems here In all schools, Mr.
Pratt says.
Under the new platoon plan, all
classes above the third grade will
be divided into two sections. Acti
vities of the two sections of each
class will be arranged alternately.
Thus while one section studies ar
ithemetlc, the other will be at man
ual training or sewing. Or while one
is tested on spelling, the other will
be at a general lecture in ihe school!
auditorium. Playground, vocational,
and other special activities are to
relieve Intensive academic study,
frequently throughout the day. The
school board has approved a trial
of the system at the Bryant school,
which has the necessary auditorium
and other featdPes.
Advantages of the system, as Su
I perintendent Pratt sees them, in
dude keeping every part of the
school plant working full time, and
provision for proper proportions of
healthful work and play and study.
