Harm in Exhibiting Pic

the eminent clergyman and author,
recently N an interview, and 1 might
say that ha.en't any objection To a
bali game on the Sabbath. he added
Dr. Brady expressed his views re-
garding motion pictures at the vita
graph studio where he had talked
with DR.. ]. Stuart Blackton and A z.
Smith, regarding the animated art Dr..
Brady is the latest OF the prominent
authors TO join the ranks Of motion
picture plarwriSnts. his drst picture,
The Island OF Regeneration" being
released for exhibition on Monday,
May IL.
ITO my mind, said the clergyman.
there is no more harm in display
OF motion pictures on Sunday than
there is for man TO go TO his club
and golf all day, or start out bright
and early in his motor car. We hear
great deal Of objection expressed
against the keeping open OF picture
places, but do we hear of protest
against the sale Of automobiles for
SUNDAY riding, or the keeping open
of golf courses OF tennis courts on
the sabbath The rich members Of
the church amuse themselves by rid
ing around in their cars and we don't
hear any cayil about 1t.
ITO man or woman. tired With
the drudgery of week of hard work,
the recreation that they get by at
tending a moving picture show on
Sunday afternoon is needed. and GER
tinly should. not be begrudged. This
talk that there is time enough during
the week to see the performance is
hardly worth While for there
are many who do not care
to leave their homes once they
have their evening meal They are
too tired or the comforts of home are
too inviting.
81 want to say right here that be-
lieve in moving pictures l do not
believe that the field for good has
been more than touched upon by mo-
ton. pictures There is. no doubt in
my mind that motion pictures are the
greatest force in the world.
Moving pictures bring home les

cuss the report that President Yuan
Kai had accepted the throne of China,
but persons close to the legation in
dicated complete lack of surprise.
"The surprising thing is not that

months. AS matter Of fact, Yuan
Shi Kai while president has been as
much the emperor Of China as Diaz
was the dictator of Mexico. In both
cases the pretense of a republic was
farcial.
1.-THE election, too, was similar to
an election in Mexico at the time OF
Diaz.
The striking thing is that China
should take this drastic action despite
the protest of Japan. Many students
believe that Japan will welcome an
opportunity to interfere in China and
lie will take the ablest diplomacy to
