john Barrymore Coming to Joy

JOhn barrymOre OOmng 10 Joy
Raffles, the play by Eugene Pres
by. has been transformed into a
seven reel motion picture, with John
Barrymore in the role of Raffles.
1t isn't at all necessary to tell
even a wee bit of this story from the
famous novel of E. W. Hornung, be-
cause there probably isn't a person
living who hasn't read it. But to
see on the screen the thrilling ad-
ventures OF the society thief who
stole for the sheer love of stealing,
and for the excitement of the chase.
and the mere Joy of outwitting the
police and amateur detectives who
sought to capture him is a treat
which you can't afford to miss. And
John Barrymore is an ideal "Raf-
fles." His work is of the finest, and
although you can't approve of his
occupation, you certainly will ap-
prove OF his methods. Besides the
Meirose jewels were we'll worth the
taking.
The story is packed full of sus-
pense, action and good acting and
has been excellently directed. The
return of John Barrymore to the
screen is in itself treat, and IL for
no other reason than this, Raffles
should be warmly received. This fea-
ture viii be shown at the Joy thea
ter Sunday and Monday.

UNITED STATES SENATE

Each United States senator is elected for six years, unless he is chosen to fill the unexpired term of some senator who has died or resign ed. On March in every odd year-1919, etc.-the terms of 32 senators expire that is, one-third of the whole number. By this plan there is never an entirely new sen ate. Even if no members were re- elected, two thirds of the member ship would always consist of men who have had either two or four years service.

THE THINK TANKS OUTPUT

The subscription manager of one o fthe new radical magazines sends out a circular letter in which vou are asked responsibility: Are won thinking the same thoughts you were two years ago?" That two years is the time limit na thought, an idea, an opinion or a conviction in an up- to-date world is not generally known perhaps. Yet it must be inferred that Tn the most advanced circles today no one thinks anything or be- heves anything that is more than two years old. The circular of the subscription manager referred to isn't the only piece of evidence sus- saping that conclusion.-Springfeld Republican.
