Tho program this week at tho Sun
Thoatro fcaturos ns tho prinoipal at
traction, Charles Miller's screen pro
duction, "Tho Luw of tho Yukon." It
Is based on tho famous poem of tho
same name by Robert W. Sorvicc.
As the title suggests, it Is a story of
tho early days In tho Yukon region
when tho gold fever drovo many men,
and a fow women of all classes to this
hithorto unexplored section of tho Am
erican Northwest in tho hope of get
ting a share of the precious yollcAV
metal.
Tho story Is indeed a gripping one,
and tho rugged frozen background n-
lono is well worth seeing. Tho cast,
which does not feature any particular
star, gives an exceptional perform
ance. This seems to provo that a pho
toplay, if it hag a good story and cap
able direction, will Btnnd on its own
merits without a star and "Tho Law
ot tho Yukon" surely does just that.
Tho character contrasts are excep
tional and Mr. Miller deserves much
credit. Thoro ia no need of tolling tho
story hpro. , Read tho poem and thon
see tho photoplay
Tho other numbers on tho program
arc Tho Gumps, Mutt and Jeff and Un
Iversal News, and nre well chosen to
support tho feature. This week's pro
gram is satisfying and entertaining.

100 Per Cent Relief.
The aim of, the organization Is 100
per cent relief, the relief which puts
those aided on a .self-supporting basis, ;
which Instills In them a confidence for
the future, places in their hands the
menus with which to- begin life anew.
and In their hearts the courage to go
on. woric, mat is tne proscription
subscribed and provided by thoso loyal
men and women who have Journeyed
Into perilous places for the sake of
their fellow men; to make these peo
ple Independent for the future, to en
courage tho lllckerlng lire of national
pride.
"There are 82,291 workers employed
In the Industrial establishments of the
Near East Relief, where wool Is fur
nished for the women to spin and
weave, and all the girls who tiro strong
enough are washing wool, sewing beds,
grinding and sifting, wheat, tailoring
and learning to mnke lace. The big
problem Is to make these women Inde
pendent. "About f00 American men and wo
men, Near East Relief workers, are
now In tho field, Including H0 eminent
physicians nnd surgeons, 70 nurses, 7
mechanics, 15 Industrial experts, 10
agriculturists, It bacteriologists. 197
relief workers, 'J." supply and trans
port workers, 19 teachers, 20 admlnls
trators, 31 secretaries, 7 engineers and
45 army officers.
Where Money Goes.
"Funds for relief purposes are dls
trlbuted In two ways: First, the vari
ous relief centers are authorized by
tho Executive Committee to draw sight
drafts on New York for specific
amounts each month; second, by sup
piles purchased In America, the major
portion of which are shipped to the
committee warehouses at Derlndje,
and the remainder elther to Beyrouth
or Batoum.
"Tho relief Is rapidly expanding and
meeting tho situation, but the future
depends on the continuation of Ameri
can support."
According to Mr. Hemphill, the need
for American help to see the destitute
peoples of the Near East through the
crisis of present conditions Is greater
now than ever before on account of the
uncertainty as to tho future, the trucu
lenco of tlio Turkish government and
the danger of bolshevlsm from Russia,
which threatens to engulf the whole of
Armenia.
Who Direct the Work.

Executive Committee of the Near East
