the strongest attraction in the field
of films. THE White Sister" in which
Viola Allen makes hef screen debut.

Moore's Strand Theater for the entire
week of June 20. For over two years
Miss Allen was fairly deluged with
offers to appear in picturizations OF
her celebrated stage successes, but
she declined them all until the Vita
graph Company induced her to ap-
pear in The White Sister" Miss
Aliens portrayal of Beatrice in The
White Sister" was the browning
achievement of her stage career. and
before the camera she is said to be
just as satisfying and effective. Many
of the players who appeared with
Miss Allen in the stage production
of The White Sister" enact their
original roles before the camera, and
she has personally directed the pre-
sentation. The added attractions for
the week include advance showing of

A Dietetic Slogan.

Said Governor Willis while
speaking at the Traffic Associa-
tian dinner in Cleveland:
"Only a little while ago the
slogan was Let the people rule.
To the principle involved in this
sentiment all adhere. This is a
government by the people-it
must not become an autocracy.
Laws must be enacted under con-
stitutioEal forms by the repre-
sentatives of the people. not is
sued as a ukase of executive die
tation. But while protesting our
unshaken faith in the doctrine of
let the people rule it is time TO
sound another slogan less beau
tiful but more practical that
slogan is, Let the people eat.
Theories of government and
psychologists of living all fail if
mills are idle. business stagnant
and worKmen unemployed. Le-
gitimate business has been too
long the helpless victim of un-
scientific tinkering and selfish
demagoguery. 1t should be fos.
tered and encouraged. not hamp-
cred, restricted and annoyed"

Our Academy gave an enter

largely of comedy, the purpose of
which was to raise fund with
which to buy a Victrola for the

for the liberality of our people to
assist a worthy cause, but the
fund raised will hardly be sufi-
cient to purchase an instrument
of the kind it ought to be. Our
school deserves an instrument
that will furnish inspiring music
