The fact that Johnny Virgins is
listed as a film actor makes it pos
sible to have him ride horse and do
some other stunts in front of the
camera. But then he goes to Florida
to rescue maiden in distress and
there he performs in way which
would surely have aroused the sus-

Now, we know several film actors who

like that. There's Douglas Fairbanks
and Bill Hart and George Walsh, and
they act just like any one when they

After all, "The Marriage Price" was

she paid she secured everything she

We journeyed to the Rivoli yestcr-
day to see this new picture of Miss
Ferguson, confident that we were going
to spend a delightful hour, for we knew
the story, and, after all, the play is not
the thing when we go to see Elsie

School Methods
Progressive Education" Is
Aim of Association Back
of Movement; Leading
Educators Join the Drive

WASHINGTON, March 16.-A cam
paign for advancing progressive edu-
cation" was started last night in
Washington under the direction of a
group of educators with new methods
"The Association for Advancement of
Progressive Education" held it's first
meeting to enlist membership and
start the organization of parents and
teachers throughout the country.
1.-The aim of progressive education is
the freest and fullest development Of
the individual, based upon the scientific
study of his physical, mental, spiritual
and social characteristics and needs"
is the way the association expresses it
self.
To the question "What is progress
sive education ?" there is a definition
which includes: Freedom to develop
naturally without undue representa-
tion, motivation of all work through
interest, the teacher as a guide, not
q task-master; scientific study of pupil
development, greater attention to all
velopment, all the needs Of child life
met by cooperation between school and
home and the progressive school a
leader in educational movements.
DR.. Charles w. Eliot, president
emeritus of Harvard University, as
honorary president of the association,
sent message on improved teaching
methods which was read at the meet
ing.
Stanwood Cobb, an instructor at the
United States Naval Academy and ex-
ecutive secretary of the association,
said it is the object of the association
to make itself an international institu-
tion. The movement is already we'll
under way in this country and local
units have been organized in some
cities.
On the association advisory board are
Franklin Lane, Secretary of the In
terror; H G. Wells and Louis P. Post,
Assistant Secretary of Labor.

Abbott Calls T. r..
Most Remarkable
Man of His Time
Thought Pugnacious, He Was
Deliberate, Careful and as
''Centle as a Woman"
Says ssOutlook" Publisher

Describing the late Theodore Roose-
velt as "the most remarkable person.
ailty OF our time, and I am inclined to
think of modern times" Lawrence F.
Abbott, president Of the Outlook Com
pany, spoke on personal Impressions
OF Theodore Roosevelt" yesterday af-
ternoon at the Bronx Open Forum, at
Morris High School. Mr.. Abbott was
closely associated with the former
President when he was a contributing
editor Of "Outlook."
Mr.. Abbott selected what he called
three predominant characteristics of
Colonel Roosevelt-caution, sense of
humor and gentleness-upon which he
developed his address.
Though commonly thought impetu-
Gus, Colonel Roosevelt was exceed
lngly cautious, Mr.. Abbott said. He
said he seemed impetuous, but he
was only desirous of carrying out
that which he had for a long time
prepared. He never did anything
without preliminary preparation. Illus
trating Colonel Roosevelt's cautious
ness, Mr.. Abbott cited the second open
letter to Mr.. Bryan, in 1908, which
dealt with former Governor Haskell,
Of Oklahoma, and the famous Guild
hall speech in London IN 1909.
Prepared Speech Six Weeks Before
After the Guilhall speech. Mr.. Alb
bott said, the Colonel was attacked in
the United States because he was
"butting in" in England's affairs by
saying that there was not adequate
protection Of life in Egypt. AS a mat
ter of fact, Mr.. Abbott said, the Colonel
fore and had made the assertions,
founded upon direct knowledge Of con-
dltlons and on the word of those whom
Abbott said, Kitchener went to Egypt
and righted conditions.
Mr.. Abbott declared that the Guild
hall speech was instrumental in put
ting Egypt where Germany could not
TOUGH it when the war began, espe-
cially as regards the use of the Suez
Canal.
Treating of his sense of humor. Mr..
Abbott said that Roosevelt enjoyed
jokes, and especially jokes at his own
expense.
'When he became leader of the Pro-
gressive party, people said he wanted
to become king" said Mr.. Abbott,
Hearing of this, the Colonel said, III
they would only know what I think Of
kings. king is nothing but a cross
between leader Of the four hundred
and Vice-President. I've been
Vice President and I know what
1t is.' After meeting the King of Italy
on one of his trips in Europe, and be-
coming attracted to that sovereign be-
cause of his democratic spirit, Roose-
welt said. II like the king of Italy.
He's the kind of man who could carry
his own ward at an election"
Thought Pugnacious, Was Gentle
Commonly known to be pugnacious
fighter with big stick, Roosevelt chad

Grafton of a woman" said Mr.. Abbott.

"The Colonel was especially gentle
toward children" Mr.. Abbott said,
and IN an open letter in 1917 to the
American soldiers in France, he said.
care for the little children"
The Colonel believed in certain laws
OF morality, according to Mr.. Abbott,
and 1t was part Of his creed that "a
man. should live as a good citizen. a
good neighbor and good husband. ;"

Mischa Elman Is Artist
AT Philharmonic Concer,

The Philharmonic Sunday after
noon popular priced concerts are al
ways we'll attended and yesterday was
no exception to the rule. Mischa
Elmor was the assisting artist and his
presence undoubtedly added to the
afternoons popular appeal The Rus
sian violinist played the Tchailsowsky
concerto with all his dash and vigor
of execution, and though his tone was
aqected somewhat by the unfavorable
weather, his reading was brilliant
one. Mr.. Strausky did not, however,
cover his accompaniment. The con-
ductor recovered himself in the two
Debussy numbers, "Nuages" and
Fetes," and gave Of both delicate and and
atmospheric performances. Indeed, his
Debussy was the high water mark of
the afternoon. The concert opened
with the Roman Carnival" overture of
Berlioz and closed with Goldmark's
"A Rustic Wedding" symphony.
John Mccormack brought out a
regular Mccormack audience in the
evening at the Hippodrome. The Irish
tenor was in excellent voice and both
in his ballads and in his other songs
gave abundant pleasure. He was, as
usual, assisted by Donald McBeath,
violinist. Mr.. Mccormack is to secure
his final citizenship papers to-day, so
that last night marked his farewell ap-
pearance as British subject.
The PuccinVerdi programme at
last nights Metropolitan Opera House
concert brought out large audience.
The artists who took part were
Margarete Matzenauer, Claudis Muzio.
Marie Sundelius, Kitty Beale, Cecil
Arden, Rafaelo Diaz, Morgan Kings

zones, the orchestra being under the
direction of Gennoro Papi.

The present picture never suffers
from an@mia. There is action every
minute, and most Of it is furnished by
the star.
The cast is a large and imposing one.
1t includes Mary Anderson, Raymond
Hatton. Hart Hoxie. Carson Ferguson.
James Cruze, Sylvia Ashton, Mayme
Kelso and Dan Crimmins.
We forgot to say anything about tho
plot because we forgot to find out

There is good comedy by James
Montgomery Flagg called "The Last
Bottle" 1t offers a prediction, more or
less true, as to what will happen in
1923, when we have reached our last
bottle of champagne.
Olin Rowland does not appear, and
is sorely missed.
Another analysis of motion picture
is called Daughters of Neptune" 1t is
extremely entertaining. There is
scenic "Ballahooing on the Ananka,"
one of the Outing pictures, the
Strand Topical Review and the Topics
of the Day.
Joseph Martel was heard in two
selections, Pfeiffer's "Malgre Moi" and
"My Buddy" Anne Rutledge sang

formance-the first time because the
management asked her to and the Sec
ond time because the audience asked
her to. They never will tire of the
