''Now II tho PEOPLE could vote on
q referendum. rs Mary Pickforo

guerite ClarkT we should see SOME
voting!'-
This is the way the editor OF ono
of the great monthly magazines starts
out with an editorial as to why the
people seemed to show lack OF m
terest in the Presidential primaries
throughout the country during the
pre-conventior days.
In another editorial by the same
editor occurs this sentence, discuss-
ing the question of why the girls IN
Minnesota prefer doctors to other
ably certain that John barrymore
and Dustin Farnum and other ire
sistible heroes must lie adored by
girls In Minnesota as elsewhere.
These two little extracts probably
wouldn't mean much to the readers
of editorials who were searching for
Information about the things the ed
ttorials started out to discuss. But
they mean q lot to the motion pic
ture patron. He realizes that the
editor of the magazine Is n member
OF his lodge. And he also UNDER
stands the editor lot better because
he talks his language.
Inc Zo,VVV,UUV SluD.
To others. those who are not mo-
tion picture patrons. the language of
the editorial ought to carry convic-
ton. The reason he uses motion
picture SMILES and motion picture
comparisons Is because he Is writing
for the information of a majority
of the people of the country and he
knows that a majority of the people
OF the country know motion pictures.
For those others who don't. 1t
might be q good idea to join the
'26.00o.0 900 Club"-that being the name
that might be given to the motion
picture patrons as a mass-there
being exactly that number going to
see picture plays every day in the
year.
'The biggest popular movement
now extant," states this editor. in
another part of his editorial, "is the
one that Is taking millions Of people
every week to see Marguerite Clark.
while those same millions still also
go every week to see Mary Pickford;
and the two most popular women of
American history are running just
about reel-and-reel. with Mary Pick
ford still ahead by just film or

three weeks. managers OF other amuse-

heads to try out the National Capital

The opening Of Where Are My Chill

was even more auspicious than the be-
ginning Of the first week had been. The

Money IL the basis OF ''The EVIL
Thereof" according to the lessons
which Claiming Pollock and Rennold
Wolf have written into the photopiay
of that title which heads the weeks
program at Loew's Columbia Theater
this week. The play is rather an un-
usual production for the Famous
Players to foster. and radical de-
parture from the usual form of this
company's output.
The authors have put forward very
frank statement OF the thoughtless evil
that might be accomplished by per-
son who has nothing to do but spend
money, by reciting the history OF three
one hundred dollar bills which appear
as souvenirs at a gay supper given by
a millionaire in honor OF a manicure.
Frank Lossee appears as the millionaire
and Grace Valentine is the manicure.
From the manner in which the picture

the management or Loew's Columbia
have cut considerable portions OF the
MIN in preparing II for presentation. In
addition to the main feature a Sidney
Drew-Metro comedy is shown, together
with n series of Burton Holmes travel

to Silvertown Cord tires for final relief
from the tire tax on gasoline.
"Silvertown Cord tires have only two

the same number of layers of cotton

There are already 100000 Indian
Catholics in the United States said
Father Gordon, "and there are about
$4,000 pagans-those who have nothing
but the native religion. There are
about 10000 Protestant Indians. 1t is
not our intention to seek converts
among the Protestants, but it is our
ambition to win the $4,000 pagans into
the Catholic faith, and it is no little
task.

are being prepared in the languages oil

years before. She had never before

there was the greatest difficulty in
persuading her to enter the train that
carried her to safety. The nuns were
unable to bring anything away with
them and were destitute when they
reached England. Before leaving

Catholic students at the Carlisle In
dian School last week rendered re-

Reverend Philip r. McDevitt, Bishop

which a sacred cantata, Ten Virgins, .
was given by Indian maidens. Ad-
dresses were delivered by Bishop Nc
