on the issues OF the campaign. An eX.
tract from his address appears in the

The Republican candidate for Pres

puerile campaign he has made. He
holds brief for an impossible cause
his party is without a program or an
issue. Senator Borah has compared
Hughes with Lincoln, but there Is n
great difference. Lincoln was nomi-
mated for what he said: Hughes was
nominated because he hadn't said any.
thing. Lincoln was nominated because
of the things FOR which he stood
Hughes because he would stand for
anything
This campaign is one In which do
mcstic and international problems un.
precedented in the history of the

Utterly disregarding the great dan
ger attending the feat, Miss Helen
Gibson, daring heroine OF most or
railway episodes, drives racing au-
tomobile alongside freight train and
leaps from the machine to a flat car,
affording another spectacle which for
a display of fearlessness has few to
equal it on the screen. Miss Gibson

the Risk OF Her. Life" is a play with
a punch. Its plot is unique. The slight
est miscalculation upon the part OF
the young woman in her leap for life
would have resulted disastrously 1t
was because of an attempt at robbery
of an express car that Miss Gibson
took such desperate chances il essay
ing the part of the telegraph opera
tor at Lone Point. The robbers were
eventually captured and brought to
Justice. A runaway train, the hand-to-
hand conflict on a swaying car afford
sufficient thrills to place the new play
in class by itself.

BRIDE AND GROOM
ON LIBERTY BILL

Tonight at the Liberty theater there
returns one of the prime favorites of
Paramount Pictures, Marie Doro, sup
ported by her husband, Elliott Dex-
ter, and strong Lasky cast in THE
Heart of Nora rlynn," photo-trsna
that deals with problems that actu-
ally appear in everyday life, not theo-
retical ones These problems, also,
are taken from the life of the so-called
common people" Nora being nurse
maid and Nolan lBexterD, her sweet
heart and chauffeur.
Marie Doro has done some clever
work in her previous offeriRgs-to the
screen, notable among which are The
Morals of Marcus" ana Diplomacy
She is we'll remembered by patrons of
the Liberty in both these photo-plays,
in which she scored decided successes.
The action, in large measure, takes
place around the home of the wealthy
family which employs Nora and Dofan,
Nora saving her mistress from dis
grace only to have a suspicion cast
over her own character and to lose
standing with Dolan. However, she
eventually convinces her lover that his
suspicious are Unfounded. ..-s

EVANGELIST ATTACKS
DANCING IN SCHOOLS
Would as Soon Have Children
Infected With Cholera, Says
Camden Preacher

Dance you want to. but be consistent,
and when you are dying don't send for a
preacher to come and pray for your SOUL"
said the Rev. DR.. Milford H. Lyon, who
layed actors, actresses. the theater dancing
and card playing in his sermon OH "amuse-
ments" at the Tabernacle In Camden.
II find that even some schol teachers
are teaching the children to dance" Doctor
Lyon said. "T would as lief have a teacher
infected with smallpox or cholera try to
teach my children las one who spends his
or her evenings around the card table or
on the dance floor.
81 can say. without fear of successful
contradiction. that the life of tho average
actor and actress Is notoriously vicious and
corrupt.
1.-The more husbands an actress has had,
the greater her stage reputation. and the
bigger crowds she draws. The more
player has figured in immoral scandal and
in divorce courts. the greater seems TO be
his popularity In the theatrical world. The
great majority of plays are notoriously
vicious and corrupt in their tendency. The
unfalthfuness of a husband or wife In their
marriage vows is made a subject matter
for comedy"
