old Davis and Keogh style of me!o-
drama There Is much cheap melo-
drama-too much-on the screen. But
1t is rapidly giving place to better
and higher form of pictures. The
picture plays made from the great
novels are among these. In many
instances great dramatic situations
created by the novelists find their
best expression in the picture form.
And there can certainly be no gain
saying the value of these pictures in
the study of the novelist.
1t Is usually only necessary to show
people Of Mr.. Eaton's intelligence
and discriminating mind the real de-
velopment of the pictures to enlist
their enthusiastic support. And it is
absolutely essential to the welfare of
the picture and the welfare of the
study of dramatic art as these same
people wish 1t to be studied, that
such support shall be secured. The
influence of the drama is too great
to permit the labor of investigating
the pictures fully to stand in the
way of its development. 1t is per-
fectly safe to assert that there are
more people familiar today with
some of the really great examples
of dramatic construction and form
and poetry through the medium of
the motion picture, than through the
stage or the reading of plays in book
form. And il. therefore, the drama
is as tremendous a force~in education
as these critics contend. and as most
intelligent people agree, ii is time
for the critics to inform themselves as
to the fllm-the educational influence
of which in point of the number of
people it reaches exceeds that of the
stage by a proportion of more than
10 to /. G. NJ

.HANDSHAK|NG ASSET
OF ALL ENJOYS NOW
They Have Been Silenced on
War, SO They Just Smile and
Shake Heads and Hands.

Handshaking. as an asset to d.
plomacy. is Just being developed 10
the fullest in Washington To-Day.
Now that the state Department mas
successfully silenced the ambassa-
dors about all they can do Is smile,
shake their heads and hands.
An interview with an ambassador
nowadays goes about Alike this: You
walk in the embassy. The doorman
escorts you to the ambassadors Of
flee. After some waiting you enter.
How do you do. Mr.. Ambassador!
you say.
Up jumps his excellency from his
seat. He rushes toward you. "Why,
how do YOU do, Mr.. Stand1sh?
he says at the same time graspIng
your hand. You remain silent. He
shakes, shakes again and again.
smiles and offers you a seat. You
question him. He shakes his head.
First I heard of it," he says, or.
How interesting.T You press fur
ther questions. His head bobs again
and up he jumps. Out goes his
hand. you shake again, and before
you know what's happened you're on
your way to the door. and the am
bassador is saying: Pm so glad to
have seen you. Mr.. Standish, won't
you come again?" Just as you be-
gin to assure him that you will. and
as you lift your head after bowling
low you get a glimpse of his coat
tail and a closing door. And you
have interviewed an ambassador.
But, Of course, representing differ
ent nations they must have different
handshakes. because none of them
can say anything. They are official
guests of Uncle Sam when that man
says: Please don't talk about the
war''-being good guests, they don't
any more. Some Of them have talked
too much already.
There is the Italian. good old west
ern stylish handshake: then there's
the British bumpty-bus kind, or the
French one-caliber. low bow style,
and even the weighty, soft, warm
handshake of the Portuguese. But
they are all as different as their
languages.
Sir Cecil Spring-R Rice, being a good
Briton, has the quick, jerkety-jerk,
triple action handshake.- NJ. Jules
JusSerand, the French amDasSaoor,
begins by bowing low and ends by
shaking your hand about once and
a half. You think it's going to be
two shakes, but some time after the
second one begins he let's go of your
hand. Unless you have fortified
yourself with a question SO you can
take you mind off Of greetings i'm
mediately you're automatically in
a hole"
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador. begins his handsnake by
looking straight at you with eyes
as powerful as the Kaisers. If his
eyes have accomplished their Yep
pelin mission you are properly sub
dued, you feel the crushing grip Of
his hand and then If you still have
enough "gumption" left to remember
the question you wanted to ask him.
you'll probably-p-r-o-b-a-b-l-y - get

Mutiny Charge Against
Four Oyster Boat Men

Four members of the crew Of the
oyster boat James T. Dennis, owned by
Capt. John A. Marshall. Of Cape
Charles. Va, were held for the grand

as usual on oyster boats. This seaman

member Of the new crew.

Why does such sentiment emerge

This bit of alleged philosophy com
pIetely explains our roseate view OF
this more or less weary and wicked

every man, occasionally there come
moments of sweet relief; trivial Incl
