CUBS FIND GOING

Hamilton, Ont, Aug. 29.-The
Cubs found the going rather easy
yesterday in an exhibition game
against the Hamilton team of the
Michigan-Ontario league, although
for seven innings the locals man
aged to make things interesting
and were leading at the end of the
frame, to /.
A change of pitchers in the
eighth coupled with bad judgment
on the part of Conley, who replaced
Behan at short, allowed the Cubs
to collect three runs from four
hits. In the ninth they got two
more on singles by Hollocher and
Merkle and BARRIERS double.
Martin had no trouble in holding
The Hamilton team down except in
the sixth inning, when they made
a walk and three singles count for
two runs. The game was witnessed
by $500 people. Score.

Rock Island high school is rap
idly getting in shape for the foot
ball season which will be under
way at the end of next week.
Coach kimmel announced today
thai between $500 and $500 had
been spent for football material.
This looks as though the team
would have enough headgears,
footballs. jerseys, etc, to last them
Tor quite a while.
The squad this year will be man
aged by J. r. Clark, former mech
anical drawing teacher who has
returned to Rock Island after a
years absence. Although this is
only kimmeTs second year as
coach of the crimson and gold
teams, it is very probable that a
winning team will be produced
from the material on hand, as he
made a splendid record last year.

The guest in our house said she
wanted to see all the pictures about
foreign countries that she could-the
war had made her feel so ignorant.
So when Norma Talmadge's "The
Forbidden City" returned to our neigh
borhood two seekers after cosmopolitan
understanding took seats before the
Great Wall of China, waiting for it to
fade out" and let them through. Mys-
terry, mocking power, passionate love,
smouldering in a fantastic sumptuous-
ness; cruel intrigue, with the mailed
hand always wearing its velvet glove;
an atmosphere of carved, shadowy
staircases for evil to lurk on and pol
Ished floors, Indifferent to bloodstains
showing dark in pools of lamplight; of
the silken, sad, uncertain rustic of each
purple curtain, behind which horror al
ways stirs-the seekers after cosmo-
politan understanding drank greedly
of this drugged wine, our own thirst
for which remained so unappeased that
the very next night we hurricdly be-
took ourselves to east Is East" which
was to give US not only story about
China but Chinese actors, with Lady
Tsin Mel, "the screens first and only
Chinese star" as the heroine.
Now, the story of east Is East" is
j the product of an Occidental brain, but
for US, in the vernacular, it might as
we'll have been Chinese: we never
understood word of it. The energies
of Chinese princess, belonging to
secret society for democratic propa-
ganda, in love with an American Secret
Service man and beloved by Chinese
prince, weave an incredibly long, limp
rope for us to climb down, and when
the action does tie itself into few
definite knots - something about
papers," Huns, wicked uncle, an
assassination or two, great deal of
travelling and fierce row at the finish,
with the Chinese lady knocking out all
the Hun gentlemen-when we did get
hold of any such knot we had to cling
to it too tightly for us to have any
good general view during the climb.
Perhaps "cliinb" conveys too stmu-
lating idea. 1t was really more like one
of those everlasting journeys-a night
journey in a day coach--where every

thing becomes confused and distorted
and innocent overcoats swing round in
the half light like bodies on O scaffold,
and at some jolt you start out of q
waking sleep with the idea that you
have reached your destination and find
you have only stopped at water tank.
The biggest jolt was when we woke to
see Lady Tsin Mel, hitherto the most
reserved and demure of actresses, sud
denly-and most ccessfully-4walking
up the side of house, SO that we had
an instant's hope she was going to take
off mask and show us she was Doug
las Fairbanks. This dream, however,
remained unrealized.
The trouble is, of course, that not
single moment of sincerity has gone
into the conception Of east Is East;
nobody has really cared rap about
China, about democracy, no, nor about
Huns, either, The only idea has been
to patch together some sort. of story
for the exploitation of Chinese star;
the effort of getting it together with
out taking the slightest interest in it
has been too much to hide the patch
ing, and certainly it is too much for
the spectators. We really cannot
blame ourselves for being bewildered
by that story. but the bewilderment
we are still facing is quite another
story altogether.
We were struck, in the earlier Ori-
entail part of the picture, by the lack
of Oriental atmosphere. Not in the
settings but in the cast 1t grew in
creaslngly strange that when all the
Chinese parts were played by Chinese
persons they should have so little of
the true Chinese effect. All our life
we have known spare, grave and self

which they were too refined to let
loose, so that you never quite
knew whether the emotion or onlv
she repression were really there. "She
