Famous in the annals of Japan as
one of the leading actors of the Far
East, Seussue Hayakawa, by reason
of sries of appearances of photo
plays produced by the Jesse L. Lasky
Feature Play Company, steps from
among the ranks of photoplay actors
into the list of stars with his forth
coming production of "Alien Souls"
Hector Turnbull wrote "Alien
Souls" drawing his material from
the conflict that is ever going on be-
tween people of opposite races. In
this photoplay Hayakawa will appear
as Sakata, Japanese curio dealer who
who is betrothed in childhood to Yuri
Chm (Tsuru Aoki). The two come into
this country, he to engage in busi-
ness and she to obtain an American
education, which is shown in light
of absorbing interest as they move
and live in American society. Sudden
ly the girl becomes infatuated with a
young American. 1t is here one dis
covers the intent of the photoplay by
its series of stirring dramatic scenes
in which is brought home Kiplin's we'll
known epigram:
east is East and West is West;
And ne'er the twain shall meet"
The program will also include LIB
erty," the great American serial, and
a comedy.

The Master
~ Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crans)

Egotism is incompa. ble with great
ness.
Two things are to be sharply distin-
carbohydrates itself and the an
pearance of greatness. Real greatness Is
marked by humility; in fact, humility is
the touchstone by which We can tell pre-
cisely how much dross, adulteration.
fraud. or FOOLS gold is intermixed in its
texture.
The very first effect Of greatness Is TO
move one to rise above self. When fire.
man rescues life in disregard of his own,
when the policeman or soldier rushes in
to danger careless of his safety, when
man dives into the water to save one who
is drowning, or in any such case, we
get the impression of greatness because
the doer loses consideration for himself.
Grandeur Of spirit is only reached by
remuneration. HE that saveth his life
shall lose it,
Egotism is the exact reverse Of this.
II is the effort Of the really petty to seem
great 1t is the timid soul with a mask
of courage. It is the jackdaw with pea
cock feathers stuck in his tail.
In Arnold Days fine presentation Of
THE Master" we are shown a good pic
ture Of a small soul who is under the
common delusion that mastery is the i'm
posing Of self upon others, instead Of the
service of self to others. Conquest, DOM
nance, Is to the mob always admirable,
but they do not see that any dominance
is tawdry and shabby that Is not first Of
all dominance Of self
The ideal greatness of the false kind
is that Of Goethe's Mephistopheles HIS
way is by ruthless disregard of all but
himself; his end is and can be but the
cold horror OF isolation.
The sort Of greatness we find in Niet,-
sche. furthered by Bernhard and other
German propagandists Of the super
man theory, and illustrated usually by
the "war lord" type. Is this hollow Me-
phistophelian. plaster-of- Paris, counter
felt kind
The other kind Is exhibited in Jesus
Of Nazareth. and altho the world has but
imperfectly understood and has often dis
torted his character. yet it has persist
emily felt that somehow II is the Christ
spirit and not the Mephistopheles-sp
that is the aim of normal ambition.
There can be no greatness without
love. and egotism kills love; no greatness
without the humanities, and egotism
-4ehaH4Ahises; no greatness without
merging into the universal heart Of
things, and egotism isolates.
Whoever will be the Ruler Of All. dc
tating, commanding, may take the devil
for his master. for the devils lust Is to
-ule but whoever will come TO real great
ness must take for his master the God
who is the Servant Of AL" for only 10
an he come to that sublimity Of nature
where his greatness can mean perfect
love, perfect sympathy. and perfect
Oeace.
