The Isis.

A striking character study is the
Morosco- Paramount film. Tongues of
Men," in which Constance Collier the
English actress makes her debut at
the Isis theater the last three days of
this week. The plot of the film is
slight but the parts are excellently
acted and the settings are remarL-
ably good. The story in outline deals
with a young minister who denounces
an opera and the character of the star
but whose opinion is changed after he
meets the diva Miss Collier has pro-
duced an unusually strong character
as the temperamental grand opera idol
Her extreme naturalness before the
camera makes her work as a screen
actress stand out throughout the film
Forrest Stanley gives a clever inter
probation of the impetuous. rather big
oted, young minister. Georgine, the
minister's fiancee, is sweetly played by
Elizabeth Burbridge.

sands of lives by bringing the war to
a speedy close. Never has the Roman
Catholic Church shown itself so great
as when the Pope, as its official head,
endeav0red to induce the fighting
powers to consider the possibility of
making peace. 1t is in times like
these that the value of mighty or
ganized Church becomes apparent to
all the world. United we stand, di-
vided we fall, was never more terribly
demonstrated. Christ's teaching lays
an obligation upon all those who fol-
low Him to do their best to bring war
to an end, yet even had the strongest
of the seets dared to lift up its voice
in protest. having no great organiza-
tion behind it, its protest would have
gone unheeded, almost unheard.
When, however, the spiritual ruler
of people far more numerous than
those which owe allegiance TO any of
the kings and emperors and presi.
dents at war urges them to end the
strife. his voice is heard, his protest
| is considered Even if no immediate
action is taken. he has done his duty,
has laid the foundation for that peace

MANY LIBRARIES OF EUROPE
PRICELESS IRISH MANUSCRIPT
IN THE AMBRoSIAN LIBRARY.

The recent celebration of the thir-
teenth centenary of ST. Columbanus,
the Irish Apostle, who, with his
monks, established one hundred and
five monasteries in France, Germany,
Switzerland, and Italy, recalls to
mind the great monastic centre and
shrine of knowledge founded by
him at Bobbio' in Northern Italy with
its famous library. On this subject
Father Roman i'll his 'tSt Columbanus;
Centenary Life" says
The library of the monastery of
Bobbio was amongst the most valu-
able and most famous of the libraries
of the Middle Ages But it's literary
treasures are now scattered amongst
the libraries of Rome, Paris, Milan,
Naples, Vienna and Turin.' Yes; they
are scattered far and wide. But the
Anbrosian Library at Milan may, i'll
its original form, be said to have been
furnished exclusively from Bobbio.
