Geraldine Farrar in "The Devil Stone"
The release by Aircraft of The
Devil Stone" coming to the Isis next
Friday, marks the sixth Geraldine
Farrar production filmed at the studios
of the Lasky company since the fe-
nous prima donna first entertained
the field of the photoplay, two years
ago.
1t is interesting to note that all Of
the Farrar productions have been Gre
ated by practically the same working
organization, including the director
Cecil b. DeMille, who has been re-
sponsible for the staging of the entire
series of remarkable features, and
jeanne MACPHERSON, who wrote the
scenarios for the six photoplays.
The selection of appropriate vehicles
for the noted star has been a serious
problem, but the great success of the
Farrar films bespeaks we'll of the judg-
ment OF the producers, who have based
the stories on big themes, the more
recent of which, 1.-The Woman God
Forgot" and Joan the Woman" Gre
ated the new epoch in Cinema art.
THE Devil Stone is a story of
weird fascination which presents Miss
Farrar in a modern role, based upon
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1918-01-28

the big theme Of Superstition, brought
down from ancient folk lore and in
f1uencing the events in the life of a
modern woman
The same supporting cast which has
appeared to excellent advantage in
previous Farrar films is seen in this
latest photoplay including Wallace
Reid, Hobart Bosworth, James Neil,
Horace B. Carpenter, Tully Marshall,
Raymond Hatton and Theodore Rob

camera staff, who has been RESPONSE

Teaching Correct Speaking.

Iowa university proposes to teach correct speak
ing. The announcement is a significant one those
without the gift Of gab' and who have lived
good share of their lives under the handicap an
unready tongue will testify.
Ineffective speech is the foundation of many
traits of timidty lack Of sef-confdence, unsocable
nature, and disturbances in normal chill
dren," says Prof. c. E. Seashore Of the department
of psychology of the Iowa school These traits tend
to become aggravated they pass into adult life
the pronounced forms of defective speech such
suffering, stammerng, nsping, and cluttering
ordinarily arise from small beginnings, which, if
understood and detected early, could be esaily OBJ
waited.
The country spends annually s220,OO0,OOO the
teaching of music but scarcely anything nameable
is done in the elementary schools for the training of
voice in correct speech Educated people have be-
come so accustomed to the common occurrence of
disagreeable and ineffective speech that it ordinarily
passes as normal"
Teaching correct fluent and ready oral expression
is a work that is worthy of best educators
