in inverse ratio to the seri-
BUSINESS attached by the pub
lie to it's demonstrations. A
purposeful and didactic drama
alarms popular taste and invites the at
tention of grave criticism to Its own
-undoing. 1t is unfortunate that the
more seriously we try to think, the
worse the Job is likely to be done. The
play whose intensities of suggestion
provoke the auditor willy nilly to ef-
forts at judicial cerebration usually
gets rough treatment. The very fact
that thought has been offered and de-
manded constitutes a challenge. and the
observer assumes an argumentative at
titude the more obstinate because it is
suboonscious. Managers fall back on
musical productions not so much
through consideration for the tired
business man as through a desire to
escape. if possible. the alert discrimi-
nations of the hypercritical.

Yet, from time to time, there must be
q break in the musical program. since
ali playwrights cannot be endowed
with a lyrical sense, nor all actors
gifted with voices capable of register
ing precise melodious intervals. If Ruth
Chatterton had been a singer, instead
of speaking star. Come Out OF the
Kitchen" would have been rendered with
the assistance of orchestra and chorus.
ooh, Come Out of the Kitchen. Ruth"
might have made an incidental ballad
worthy of companionship with Come
Into the Garden, Maud" Managers are
prone to cultivate an impression that
the less music a drama employs the
more legitimate it's quality becomes.
The general public knows better and
the box offices show that il accepts the
speaking drama largely as substitute
for lyrical expression. And speech it
self is no mean accomplishment. Those
who have it not in its perfection Of
emotional appeal still have a medium OF
expression and convey the ideas in
trusted to them by means of pose and
gesture on the screen. Mary Pickford
and Douglas Fairbanks, neither OF
whom let's g. day pass without increas-
Ing fame, were not particularly inspir-
ing in the speaking drama, yet in the
medium suited to their talents became
the idols of the hour. Extremes meet

FIGURES COMPILED


Helena, March 2s-County allot-
ments for the third Liberty loan were
announced this evening by the Mon
tana state committee. The totals
were made up with a proper considera-
ton for those counties that are af-
fected by some cause or other and
that do not enjoy the same prosperity
as some other Montana counties, 1t is
said.
The proportions are based on bank
Ing resources and also on subscriptions
made In previous campaigns.
In the first loan, allotments were
made upon a populati ton basis. while In
the second loan they were figured out
on an assessed valuation.
Lewis and Clark county is the only
county in the state' whose apportion-
naent is Increased over the second loan.
1t is required that $s5O,O0O be raised
in this county for the third campaign.
Silver Bow county IS required to
raise just about as much this time as
last. and Cascade county is asked to
subscribe 4751,500, as against $l,325,-
600 last time. In all other counties
the sum required is much less than in
other campaigns.
