Philadelphia, April %. Blind fea-

from mental disorders is responsible
for many cases C insanity that could
otherwise be cured, according to Or.
Jessie Taft. social service director OF
the New York state Committee on
Mental Hygiene, at the national con-
Vention OF nurses here.
1.-THE ordinary man has not ad-
vanced very far beyond the period OF
superstition regarding mental dis
cases. she aid. at is this kind Of
blind fear nd prejudice that mental
hygiene must break down before
mental disease and health can be
treated nationally like physical health
and disease"
Dr.. Taft said it was the unwilling
ness of persons suffering from mental
disorders to seek treatment at state
hospital for the insane where their
Affections could be properly cared for
that led them to experiment with
quack treatment for outrageous fees
at some institution labelled as sana-
torium.'

The Jews Of New York last night
appealed TO the United States and the
Allied powers to establish Jewish
republic in Palestine.
The plea was embodied in resoir
ton read at the convention of the
Kehillah. or Jewish community, repre-
senting 100000 Jews of this city, in
the Hebrew Technical School for Girls,
Fifteenth Street and Second Avenue.
All day the 300 delegates had waited
while a variety Of resolutions had been
read. Then Professor Israel Fried
lander, Of the Jewish Theological
Seminary, stepped to the front OF the
platform. deep silence fell over the
audience.
a minute later the 500 delegates
were on their feet Shouting, cheer
ing. laughing and crying, they gave
vent 70 feeling that had been slum-
bering in the breasts Of Jews for 1000
yc>Is. With one accord the audience
burst into "Hatikvah," the song Of
Jewish hope for the restoration OF the
Holy Land. The old men and women
were shaking their bodies 20 and fro,
keeping time with the music.
"Our PALESTINE" shouted one Of the
delegates. AT last. at last. arc We to

"Within the Law"
Pleases on Screen
Miss Joyce and Harry Morey
Featured in Film Version
of Underworld Play

within the Law which had It's
screen premiere at the Broadway The
atre last night, involuntarily sets itself
he task of proving that the silent
drama is a better medium for telling a
story than the spoken drama.
Every one in the audience was bound
TO contrast the screen version with the
play, and if the rest of the audience
agreed with the writer, they decided in
favor Of the silent drama.
1t is possible on the screen 10 breach
that gap which came between the time
when Mary Turner left her employer :
office, a convicted thief. and the time
che appeared, resplendent. in her own
home, three years later. In the play
the events were, of necessity, only
talked about, and in the picture they
form some of the most interesting
scenes.
Msry's release from prison. her sub
seoucnt search for honest employment,
her attempted suicide, from which she
IS saved by Joe Carson, and her first
dishonest deal with land agent, which
nets her $4,000, and is still within the
law, make wonderful material for the
scenario writer
Alice Joyce is charming as Mary
Turner, and in many of her scenes she
is not unlike Jane Cowl. VINO created
the part. But in the scenes whore she
Gcnounces her employer, who has sent
her to prison. her manner suggests de-
Gpar rather than anger or vindictivc-
ress. She is not a self-reiiant Mary
Turner, for, although she is the brains
Of the combination, she does not seem
really to enter into the spirit of the
wrongdoing.
Harry Morey is most attractive Joe
Carson. ard one would not have blamed
Mary if she had upset traditions 10 the
extent of preferring him TO Dick

Adele De Garde was cast for that
most fascinating Aggie lynch. the role
which Florence Nash played so sue
ccssfully on the stage. Miss De Garde
played the part for all there was in IL,

fort 20 be funny She was quite dc.

il is 50 entirely satisfactory, inasmuch
as it has a restfui continuity and does
not rush from scene 10 scene i'm leaps.
This is perhaps due to the cutting
for when nine-reel picture has TO be
made into five reels something is bound
20 suffer. The film was directed by
