Get A Flag

In this day of agitation on the
subject of national preparedness
one of the simplest and most prac-
ticle steps to take would be for
each family to keep an American
flag where the children can see it
from day to day.
Then teach the children that the
flag of their country means more
to them than life itself, that il
must be handled with care, and
looked upon to and revered as the
symbol of liberty and the cham
pion of right, justice and humanity.
1t is difficult to instill ideas of
patriotism into the heads of pres
sent day adults who have been
reared in an atmosphere of grow
ing indifference, but ours will be
a better nation fifty years hence if
we of today but perform even a
fraction of our. duty to cur off,
spring and to our country.

The radiant Farrar has COM

herltages that are all woman
kinds to portray the screens

appealing, repellant, now en-
trancing, wildly unrestrained
this moment, sweetly demure
the next, her portrayal of the
untutored gypsy girl is ka-
leldoscope of passion, cunning
and fury. .
Her Carmen" is as superb
a stroke of character delineation
as the screen has ever boosted.
Although this is her first
screen effort, there is never a
moment that the wonderful Miss
Farrar overdoes her role. She
presents you with a fascinating,
bewildering Carmen" bat a
convincing Carmen" withal.
And her Carmen" will live as
one of the screens greatest
triumphs,
Cecil b. DeMille, her director
has surrounded her with scenic
beauty as we'll as a competent
cast. The camera man and the
LaskY laboratories, too, have
joined hands with her in this
great stroke of artistry.
