The gigantic Griffith spectacle is
perennial and evergreen, and is al

It is stated that, since the present
situation has arisen, the great war
and American history picture has
done more to stimulate recruiting and
awaken patriotism than any single
force before the public.
Those who flock to Minneapolis and
the Shubert Theatre to witness it this
time may be assured in advance of
seeing all that d. w. Griffith's Birth
Of Nation" stands for-from the days
when it was turning them away at the
Liberty Theatre, New York, at two dol

in price of admission.
Every American, now and ever
should see this picture-not alone
once, but many times; apart from its
amusement features, it points the pa
triotic way of the future by reproduc,

Two full performances will be given
every day of the engagement, one in
the afternoon, at 2:15 and another in
the evening at 1918.

THE SPIRITUAL
CARE OF The DEAF
BY Rev. James Donahoe.

The fourteenth annual conference of
the Catholic Educational Association
was held this week in Buffalo, N. Y.
A large number of leading educators
from the United States and Canada
were in attendance. Matters of most
vital interest in the cause of Catholic
education were discussed and plans
laid to better promote thoroughness
in every branch of education.
The reports of the discussions and
the work of this great conference will
be found next week in all Catholic pa
pers.
The writer is especially interested
in the Catholic Deaf-mute Conference.
which is held at the same time and in
the same place as the Catholic Educa-
tional Association. Being unable this
year to attend that important confer
ence the writer seeks, through the col
umns of The Irish Standard, to give
spiritual. care of the deaf and makes
recommendation which he hopes will
be considered favorably by those in
position to put it into effective prac-
tice.
Hearing people usually have but
scant knowledge of their deaf neigh
bors. Unfortunately hearing people
sometimes have wrong ideas about
their silent fellow citizens. 1t is not
to my purpose to dispel all erroneous
ideas regarding the deaf. 1t is neces-
sary, however, that hearing people
know that the deaf are not a feeble
minded class; neither are they inferior
morally to their less handicapped
neighbors 1t is also we'll to know
that in every city the deaf are suffi-
cient in number to make up a congre-
cation of considerable size, and wher-
ever city priest learns to use the
sign language, and mingle socially
with the deaf, he learns that there is
considerable number of Catholics
among them. In short time he finds
out that many of the deaf would
be practical Catholics if their re-
ligious education had not been sadly
neglected.

usually come into contact with the
deaf as religious educators long be-

selves to overtake. them. The nom

"PANTAGES."

Owen McGiveney, the celebrated
impersonator of quaint characters of
Charles Dickens, will open Panta-
ges tour, at the local house for the
week, giving his latest creation, just
made up-to-date, in which he essays
characters from Oliver Twist, so
Joined in his offering as to make a
somewhat connected story. Some
idea of his range of possibilities may
be known from the characters he will
assume, which embrace those of
Monks, the half-brother of Oliver; Fa-
gin, the fence, and tutor, Bill Sykes;
the artful Dodger, and Nancy Sykes.
There is treat in store for those
who are admirers of the master of
character painting, for they will see
some of their favorite characters so
we'll drawn as to be personally actual.
Those who like broad comedy will
be given plenty of opportunity to
laugh, for Bert Wheeler & Co. opens
the bill for the week with an absurdity
which never fails to get over the blase.
His automobile" and trailer, his
duck and donkey" are veritable
comedy screams. A real shout for the
Riddles, too. Johnny Small and his
small sisters are bright entertainers,
with song and dances and repartee,
their dancing being exceptionally new
and novel. AL Wohlman, dusky
maker of mirth, will be found to fit
in we'll with this bill, and will get
his share of the laughs.
Quite pretentious musical farce
is offered by George Choos, in which
William Brendolf and Earl D. Noun
tain are featured as star comedians,
and leads are taken by Mary Cold,
Belle Little and Grace Moore. There
is wealth of costuming and scenic
effect and enough nonsense to make
"Oh, Doctor" pose as real "follies I"
show.

ENGINEERS ATTEND HIGH MASS
AT PRo-cATHEDRAL.

On. Sunday last the local organiza-
ton of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers attended High Mass at
the Pro-Cathedral. Father Cullen ex-
pressed his appreciation of the honor
conferred upon his church by their
visit, and referred to the dangers of
their occupation as shown by the fact
that the average life of an engineer,
according to statistics, is only nine
years. The Catholic church, he stated,
had always been i'm sympathy with un-
ionism-even from the time of the
early guilds, which were the origin
of crafts unions. To these guilds we
owe the construction of nearly all
the famous cathedrals in Europe, and
their relations to the church have al
ways been of a friendly character. 1t
is only the extremists either on the
side of capital or labor that the church
condemns those who would go so far
as to deny the right of private prop
erty on the one hand, or those cap
italists, on the other, who fail to rec
ognize the fact that their wealth is
held only in trust and for the bene-
fit of their fellowmen.
Included in the list of the dead for
whom the prayers of the congregation
were asked were the members of the
organization who died during the past
year. Why the mass was offered in
the Latin language and the several
parts of the holy sacrifice were briefly
explained.
