THE WORLD AFLAME'
WITH FRANK KEENAN,
COMES To COLUMBIA

Tongues of alien hatred splitting
venom at the foundation stone Of
American liberty flame of jealousy
and disruption and malice, seeking to
devour and engulf American labor in
its horrid and capacious blaze.
This is a brief description of "The
World Aflame,' Frank Kenan's latest
contribution to the silver screen, an
intensely interesting drama which
comes to the Columbia theater for
three days starting next Thursday.
No production of recent months has
been more timely, more forcifully
placed before the American public than
this great spectacle, dealing with the
all absorbing subject of labor unrest
Endorsed by union leaders and Sec
tary of Labor Wilson, the offering
comes to Phoenix with the official
stamp of approval by those with whom
it deals.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor. de-
clared this one of the greatest produc.
tons of its kind ever offered after at
/ tending private view in Wash
/ ington recently. other labor leaders
/ expressed like belief
| The film deals with the causes of
labor unrest, not only in this country,
but in foreign lands as well, but it
1 does not leave the subject open to
I speculation. 1t offers a solution of the
/ problems confronting every section OF
the world solution that labor men
and employers agree is equitable, Just
and will eject a lasting harmony.
The World Aflame" deals with that
one touch of humanity which makes
the whole world kin-a human touch
which reached into the palaces of the
mighty and into the novels of the mis-
i led poor-a touch administered by a
wise mayor who studied human ma
ture, who knew when to apply reason
able and sensible force and when tt
preach the gospel of reason and co.
operation and profit sharing
