On the Screen
Prizma Colored Films at the
Strand--Rialto Has Vicar

The most remarkable feature OF the
Strand programme this week is the
first showing Of the Prizma colored mo-
.ion pietures. These do not appear to
BE- thrown OF a screen, for not only are
thesse.ual colors reproduced, but there
is also substance and perspective, both
OF which are lacking in the ordinary
hl.ek and white films. This four-color
process seems to bring out the same

Suggestion That IN sic
May Mean Exactly What
1t Says
By HAYWOOD BR0UN

One or two critics, and occasionally
some other intelligent theatregoers,
say that they like magic" but they
do not quite understand what Chester
ton meant. Their difficulty is not un-
like that of the doctor in the play
who cannot grasp the explanation OF
the conjurer's last trick. The physi-
clan could not believe the explanation
because it was 30 simple. The key to
a proper understanding of what Ches-
terton meant by his play is equally
simple. He meant just what he said.
