New York, Dee. 6.--Resolutions
calling on life insurance companies
to do everything in their power to
urge soldiers and sailors to continue
their government life insurance and
to convert such temporary insurance
at the earliest opportunity into one OF
the permanent plans provided for by
the war risk insurance act, were
adopted by the Association Of Life In
surance President at its annual meet
ing here today.
An important aspect OF the future
relationships between men who nave
been soldiers and the municipalities
in which they live, was considered in
a paper prepared by Mai. Gen. w. G.
Gorgas, former surgeon general OF the
army. The paper was read by Col.

AT THE IDEAL,

PAY Day" the five-reel Metro spe-
cial screen novelty which Is at the
Ideal today for the last time. gives
ample proof that Mr.. and Mrs. Sidney
Drew, the stars of the production, are
capable of acting tragic dramatic roles
as well as those possessing comedy
elements.
Since the great success Of the one
reel fun-feats, which are shown as
Metro-Drew comedies, the DreW3 have
become identified entirely as come
dams. The combination of Mr.. and
Mrs. Drew IN comedies has become a
household topic. The Drew COMEDIES
appeal to people who live normal,
wholesome home life, their policy be-
ing to present nothing so extravagant
that it might not happen in normal
family. Consequently, the one-act
comedies of domestic life have struck
a responsive chord.
One day while debating over see
narios the Drews discussed the fact
that the public had grown TO believe
that they were only capable of play
ing in comedies There and then they
decided to prove to all their audiences
that thew could play dramatic parts
and present a story of feature length
five rels-as well as they could pro-
duce their 1,0O0-foot comedies. In
the picture the Metro co-stars are
shown discussing the problem in their
own office and then over the tele-
phone with President Rowland of
Metro. Then they prove their dra-
matte ability with great success.
