.CHAPLIN'S MITATORS
CAN'T find HIS LEVEL
"A Dogs Life" at the Strand.
Good Example of His Art.

1t is the hardest thing in the
world to initiate successfully q
comedian whose funmaking reaches
so completely the domain Of real
art as Charlie Cnaplin'g. Others
have initiated his makeup or stolen
his business" but they have never
reached his sec 'ei. Any number
of green comedians may be seen
"mugSling" vita consciously comic
gesture, as of saying laugh at me:
am being funny The author
gives the stage comedian funny
lines. Chaplin has no lines. His
rlots are so simple that the popu-
lar legend credits him with writ
ing them as he goes along.
Charlie Chaplin, in short, is on a
stage where the slapstick, the
Knockout" the guttapercha ham,
mer and .the rough-house are ac-
cepted as necessary ingredients OF
comedy. and these things fight
against the finer quality of his
art, yet he overcomes them. His
work has become more and more
delicate and finished as the medium
Of Its reproduction has improved to
admit OF delicate and finished work.
There Is no doubt that, as Mrs.
Fiske has said, Chaplin is a great
artist. There has never been more
conclusive proof of it than "a Dogs
Life" the comic photoplay which
Is being shown for the entire week
at Moore's Strand Theater.
This pics>re affords the most per-
feet antidote for depression that
the screen has revealed in many
months. Crowds are availing them
selves of the opportunity to cheer
UP. The salutary effect OF the
laugh IL really worth tho trouble.

ate homes has resulted to the derti-
ment Of the men instead Of to their
benefit" Mr.. Fosdick stated. There
has been on change in the attitude
of the government toward home hos
pitality. In fact. with hundreds Of
thousapds of men pouring into the
training camps. the government de-
sires more than ever that the people
of America continue to offer to
them the wholesome influences OF
their homes.
Naturally in the entertainment
of thousands of men in private
homes there have been some in
stances of hospitality overdone or
taken advantage of. Some women.
unwisely. have flooded soldiers with
sweets and unnecessary comforts
and have written doleful letters to
their boys. These things and the
.godmother' idea are justifiably dis
couraged. But a sharp distinction
should be drawn between pink-t tea
sentimentality toward the soldier
and the organized hospitality which
Is supervised by the government.
Success Depends ON Spirit.
ITO eradicate vice not only by re-
preston. but by the substitution Of
attractive and healthful diversions
is the great purpose Of the commits
sion"
Man power will win the war,
and we depend upon the American
home in conserving this power. As
President Wilson has said: the
spirit with which our soldiers leave
America, and their efficiency on the
battle fronts of Europe. will be
vitality affected by the character of
the environment surrounding our
military training camps"

cubinage" instead Of reconciling
themselves to a marriage ceremony
which does not recognize the papal
clergy. OF course when civil mar
riages are performed, unless a Ro-
man wedding follows, the papal
priest loses his fee--but, should any
so-called priest or preacher, under
any conditions, give to his parish
toner's the advice, e,this priest has open
ly declared communicates of his
church should follow, rather than be-
come legally married outside the Ro-
man church? Papists who so marry
follow the same marriage ceremony
as Protestants and comply with a
civil marriage law very similar to
our own. Not only that, but the
Canal Zone, or the Panama Republic
is the property of, and under the
jurisdiction Of, the United States,
which brings this contempt for our
civil marriage law great deal closer
home.
The action of this priest and re-
lated facts divide themselves into
three major divisions.
First; they show the absolute dis
regard Of Rome and her priesthood
for civil law, for the jurisdiction of
the United States in matters Of civil
law where same runs in any way
counter to papal purposes and de.
sires and shows how arrogant and
boldly defiant she will be where she
dares.
Second; that Rome systematically
follows up her opposition in matters
where proposed laws enacted against
her desires become effective.
Third; the utter disregard for prin
ciples or for morality, an imbecilitS
