The Power of Suggestion
Bv HERBERT RRENRoR

! am q strong believer in the power
of suggestion in moving-picture director
ship. director must infuse himself
into each part 10 bring out the best that
is in those he is directing. Otherwise,
according 70 my ideas, there is bound
20 be a lack Of harmony and continuity
In the picture he is making.
In theory at least. there should be no
sub-utles to break up the continuous
thread Of the story, which is relied upon
70 hold the attention of the spectators.
Sub-titles interrupt the narrative and
sometimes can ruin the most powerful
OF plays. A superhuity OF sub-titles in
dicates a lazy director. Il means that,
in order 10 save himself the effort Of
keeping his scenario moving by legii-
mate means, he resorts TO the slipshod
method Of slapping in subtitle. There
could not be a worse fault.
/ think il is essential also that the
director should himself have been an
actor; or at any rate have had stage
experience in some way. In fact this is
sine qua non. The director should also
be in sympathy with the subject OF his
scenario and with his people. It is im-
possible otherwise TO get the best ef-
fects.

A "White Christmas"
On Christmas eve the Baptist Sun
day school celebrated a white
Christmas" The idea of white
Christmas" is to give rather than to
receive. After a program in which
the children took part with the
grownups, and which all enjoyed from
first to last, the gifts, wrapped in
white, were brought by representa-
tives of the classes to the platform.
Flour, meat, potatoes, canned fruit,
apples: sugar, other groceries, toys,
clothes and candy literally stocked
the platform. Then on Christmas
morning members of the Sunday
school, including some of the boys
and girls, set out to distribute the
white Christmas" gifts. The occa-
sions of the program and the distri-
button were happy, joyous ones.
Christmas was thus kept in the spirit
of the life of Him who is honored
every 25th day of December.
Friends of the Sunday school, in
cluding Mr.. Loveland and Dick Posey,
contributed much to the enjoyment of
the evening.

COURAGE and Courtesy.

1t Is recorded of General Sheridan
that he was once asked who, In his
opinion, was the most reliable of the
corps commanders, and he unhesitat-
ingly answered, General Hancock. He
said, IF | wanted a man to stay
where put him, IL | located him at
night and wanted to find him right
there in the morning, I'd select Han
cock" And then further Sheridan
said:
"For genuine politeness and gentle
regard for women Hancock was in
comparable. If Mrs. Hancock came
into his room twenty times in half
an hour he would always stand up"
There is compliment indeed. The
bravest commander was the most
courteous to women, and what was
best Of all, he included his own wife
among the objects Of his courtesy.

ever, he withdrew his garrison and fled
to the Tower, leaving his neighbors to

When making apple float try baking
the apples instead of stewing them.
The pulp is removed from the skins

Instead Of frying your pork chops,
