 This is especially true as regards laughs. The first laugh comes when MT. Reid, as LewisVickers, dare devil young American, who is tenn porarily sojourning in Central Amer ica because he is wanted in the United States for murder, tries to drill a motley Central American army, which is mounted on mules, burros and horses. The difficulties of getting this worst army in the world" as MT Reid calls them during rehearsal in shape, provides some screamingly funny situations, which will be heartily appreciated by all who see the picture.

VACHEL LINDSAY GIVES
READING OF HIS POEMS
Dramatic and Novel Methods of
American Poet Impress
Large Audience.

Vachel Lindsay, who is declared by
William Lyon Phelps TO be the most
important living American poet"
gave a reading of his poems at the
Central High School last evening un-
der the auspices of the Washington
Society of Fine Arts, to an audience
of approximately 1890 persons well
filing the great auditorium.
The first poem recited was Andrew
statue ip Lafayette Square. but pur-
posed not as criticism of artistic
merit, but rather as a characterize
ton of the man and an estimate of
mis- place in American history This
was followed by The Sea Serpent" >"
and later by such well known seIec-
tions as ''rhe Congo and The Sante
Fe Trail" Interspersed in the pro-
gram were lighter and shorter poems
or rhymes" as Mr.. Lindsay himself
referred to them. among which Dan
ieI in the Lions Dem and John L.
Sullivan" proved especially popular.
Mr.. Lindsay's mode of reading or
recitation is very different from that
of others. It is a. mixture of chanting
and tone-color methods interpret ed
after MS own especial fancy and
made dramatic by gesture and mo-
ton. By these means he stresses the
rhythmic quality of his poems, en-
phasizing meter rather than compo-
sition. His Congo" for instance
while inspired by the life and death OF

echoes the sound of the African
tribal drum and flows, as does the

the beat of the persistent 'tum- tun ,
In the ''Sante Fe Trail it is the honk
of the ceaseless procession of automo-
biles which gives the key note.
Mr.. Lindsays poetry is essentially
of America and today. 1t is frankly
different from what has gone before
it puts in rhythmical form every day
thoughts and things-sights and ex-
periences peculiar to our time and
ourselves. Yet occasionally it steps
beyond this and attains the universal

not only took his audience into his

Persistent reports of rnasSacres of
