A Universal educational picture
called "Hope of the Hills" will open
at the Savoy Theatre on Tuesday. Its
actors never before saw a motion pic

picture were taken. Many Of them had
never heard of one. "Hope of the Hills"
is sidelight upon the life of a peo-
pie who are as far removed from the
modern intricacies of civilization as
are the hintermost tribes of Zululand.
These are the peoples of the mountain
regions of Kentucky, particularly those
within a radius Of few miles of Pip
papass. 1t is here in the shadow of
the most beautiful valleys in that
Southern state that the Caney Creek
Community Centre was founded by
a Boston woman whose heart and mind
had been touched by the living cond-
ticns she found.
So, after many weeks of planning,
motion pictures were turned to in the
endeavor to place the story of these
mountain people before the American
people in manner which is next to
the heart of that people.

More Anent Broken Blossoms

Every one seems reused to the point
of expressing his or her feelings in re-
gard to Broken Blossoms" The fol-
lowing letters are two of many re-
ceived by the Editor of The Tribune:
Dear Sir: There seems to be consid-
cradle local controversy and dogmatic
criticism over the production, "Broken
Blossoms" But the protest by "M. H."
who speaks from the standpoint of
missionary. is, as the late Artemus
Ward would have said, "too much"
Any one at all aware of the leanings
of D. w. Griffith would hesitate long
before charging him with any conscious
or unconscious slur on any religion or
any body of religious workers. | hap
pen to know that Mr.. Griffith is Meth
odist and so ardent supporter of this
church that even now he has at Colum-
bus, Ohio, where the Methodists are
holding. their centenary celebration,
men taking motion pictures of their
notable production of Handels "Mes-
siah," in order that by exhibiting these
the Methodists may be aided in raising
the $1l5,0o0,000 which they deem nee
essary to carry on their work. This
Mr.. Griffith is doing without the slight
est cost to the Methodists and with no
single thought Of profit to himself.
AS to what "M. K" says about mis-
sionaries in the Far East, any one who
has read Putnam Weale's books on
China-and he is the modern authority
knows that the only mission work in
China that has been of avail has been
that of the Roman Catholics, who were
the first in the field, and who, instead
of merely preaching to the Chinese,
helped them to help themselves, as the
work of st. Francis Xavier in Macao
will testify. There is no "slur" at re-
ligion in Broken Blossoms" When a
clergyman tells the Chinese poet, who
is overwhelmed with the cruelty he
sees in London, that his brother is 60
ing to do missionary work in China, the
Chinaman says, simply, ~ wish him
luck" So do we all wish the mis-
sionaries luck. Surely to wish a man
good luck is not to cast q slur upon his
mission in life. Most sincerely yours,

ALMAH LAWSON.

Dear Sir: There has been much talk
and more writing on the subject of the
brutality shown in a motion picture
called "Broken Blossoms" Why should
people be afraid Of brutality? The very
law OF contrasts governs the influence
of scenes and violence AS Robert Louis
Stevenson says: at probably is more
instructive to entertain sncaking
kindness for any unpopular person than
to give way to perfect raptures of
moral indignation against abstract
vices"
7 1t is by seeing scenes of brutality
and brute meanness that we are con-
strained to show more kindness toward
our fellow men. We're there no ugly
things in the world, we would have
little real appreciation Of the beautiful,

he was besieged in "city' of the

various topical subjects, but he de-
clined to be drawn.

QUEER OLD "MAGIc MIRROR
One in British Museum Known to Have
Been Used by Aztecs and
Ancient Mexicans.

Crystal gazing and the use of magic
mirrors played an important part In
religion and wizardry in the past, and
though almost every nation had it's
own method these did not vary as
much as it would be supposed.
Thus while Japan had in her inner
temples mirrors which only the priest
saw, and which were always to reflect
the good and the beautiful for the
gods, the ancient Mexicans taught
that their god Texcatlipuco had a
magic mirror in which he saw every
thing that happened each day in the
world.
A real obsidian mirror with It's
strange textile string still attached is
in the British museum now and was
used by the Aztecs and ancient Mexi-
cans for various purposes and very
probably for crystal gazing. 1t is
much the same as the other crystals
used by so-called wizards" so far as
it's shape is concerned. Even in recent
years crystal gazing has been prac-
ticed, and it is said by those who have
tried it that the mirror or crystal
seems to disappear into mist after it
has been stared at in complete silence
for great length Of time, and then
if ever-the visions appear.

Heavy satin cloth Of silver and rich
faille are the materials that are In de-
mand for formal evening gowns. These
materials are gorgeous in themselves
and therefore adapted to the present
styles in evening dress, which depends
upon graceful draping of the figure and
not upon embellishments for interest.
1t is beauty of fabric and beauty Of
lines that must hold the attention.
Sometimes, in the simpler models,
the drapery suggests the ease and flow
ing lines of the classic Greek garments,
and sometimes single piece of mater
ial appears to be wrapped about the
figure, with long loose end forming
train. But an artist in draping may
use material more freely than is indi-
