HARRY BEAUMONT.
MOTION PICTURE director,
MY DEAR Mr.. Beaumont.
A FEW days ago.

AND I happened to notice.
WHEN THE picture started.
THAT THE directors name.
WAS HARRY Beaumont.
AND AS I sat there.
AND WATCHED the picture.
l GREW to wondering
WHAT SORT of a man.
HARRY BEAUMONT might be.
AND WHEN the picture was
through.
| WAS quite sure,
IF l ever met him.
l WOULD like him,
AND THE reason is.
THAT FOR years and years
I'VE BEEN a patron,
OF MOTION pictures,
BECAUSE OF the weeklies,
THAT PICTURE the news,
AND BECAUSE of the music
AND BECAUSE of the films,
THAT BRING us scene
OF PARKWAY lands.
AND ONCE ip a while
IN A very long while,
I'VE ENJOYED the feature.
THEY HAVE on the bill.
AND I'VE liked the Drews,
AND THE o; Henry things.
BECAUSE THEY were CLEAN.
AND I'VE liked Bill Hart,
BECAUSE OF the hills.
AND THE mountain sides,
AND THE stretches of land,
WHERE ONE could breathe.
AND DRAW it in deep,
AND SOME other folk,
AND THE things they do,

The Nashville Banner says Leland Rankin has located in
Paris for '"Y" work, and while looking after the spiritual in
terests of our boys over there. he is doubtless acquiring a bunch
of French patois that will give a naivete to the stories he at
tempts to put over when he comes marching home" No doubt
he will, for they do say that they are irresistible and Leland
can entertain a bunch.

Whatever be the future course OF
events 1t Is no longer to be doubted
that the contest which ended In the
breaking OF the Hindenburg line was the
decisive battle OF the world war, The
consequences Of this battle are yet only
partially realized, the extent Of the
German retirement IL sttll to be dis
closed, but the magnitude of the trt-
umph II patent, and II has been prompt
iy followed by d German proposal for
an armistice, which oonfesses the loss
Of the war, although II does not yet
foreahadow unconditional surrender.
We have, then, to review one OF the
few enduring military trIumphs of hu-
man history, a battle whose conse-
quences are already as great as that
other battle Of the nations the con
test at Leinslc which settled the fate
Of the Napoleonic empire. Germany's
dream of world power was rs certainly
| terminated In Northern France ~ was
that OF the great French Emperor more
than a century aRo in Saxony.
This battle, for which, perhaps, the
name Of the HindenburR line, the geo
graphical objective which was attained
and passed, supplies the best title, eX-
tended over 4 front twice as extensive
as that Of the first Marine, hitherto the
| greatest In history; IL was fought by
not less than 1000, 900 men; IT vas i'm
mediately followed by the evacuation
OF more than 1000 square miles OF
French and Belgian territory and n re-
treat as uniniEtakable and perhaps tC
prove as extended as that Of Napoleon
after Leipslc.

self, What he had to do was to inflict
a decisive defeat, which would once
and for all put an end to the idea that
a war of positions would have no other
termination than a deadlock. He had to
win such 4 victory as to prove thai
an old fashioned, decisive military tri-
umph could occur even In contempt
rary warfare.
In sum, he had to do exactly what the
allied commanders fighting Napoleon
had to do-he had to defeat HIS an
tagonist In such fashion as to demon
strate that ultimate and i~rrevocable de-
feat for the great foe was neither inn
possible nor improbable. He had to
break the legend OF the inviucible Ger
man machine, now on the defensive, as
the allies of 1913 had to break the Ma
poleoniC legend. This, all Of 1t, he did
accomplish between Sept. rs and Oct,
Is. In that time the whole opinion of
the civilized world. Teutonic and non
T%eutonic, was brought TO the common
point Of recognition that Germany had
lost the war irrevocaply. and all that
could occur in the future would be the
victorious exploitation of the battle of
the H~indenburg line.
