Episcopal nationwide campaign that
for the past six months has been
striving To concentrate the entire re-
sources Of the church behind a def
mite program OF practical service
which shall be It's part in the task of
worldwide reconstruction.
To-day 100. 900 trained canvassers
will go out from Episcopal churches
all over the country TO enlist every
man. woman and child upon the ros-
ter of the church to active service
IN behalf Of its program.
The program OF the nationwide
campaign is based upnn n survey Of
the church's needs and. opportunities
In the next three years, both in the
United States and It's territories, and
in Latin America, Africa, China and
Japan. The survey was reduced. to

calls for 34:,oee,ooe. of which STA
e0o,o00 is for the work being done
In the Episcopal dioceses in the
United States; $40 100000 for the
general missionary work of the
church at home and $1S.00o.0oO for
the work in foreign fields, for re-
iigious education and social service
and for expansion Of the church's
SC pSiOf4ry Organizations.
( To carry out Its program the church
must recruit 1900 new workers for
the homo and foreign fields. II must

that II do
A feature OF the canvass to be
taken today Is the pledge to individual
service to be made by each member
OF. the church In addition to the con-
tributions Of money to carry on tho
work. A pledge card has been
placed in the hands OF each commune
cant on which Is set out the character
of service the church viii require In
the prosecution of Its program These
cards will be taken up by the can
vassers and will form an important
part In the plans sor the disposition
OF the funds and conduct OF the work
TO be determined by the joint commits
sion OF the church and also in the ex-
tension OF tho church's mission in

Reports from all sections OF tho

Common Clay
Comes to Victor

1t ls estimated that Common
Clay" the Harvard prize play by
Cleves kinkcad, in which Jane Cowl
achieved one of her most notable sue
cesses, has been witnessed by more
than five million persons. Under the
direction of A. II. Woods, it ran for
a full year as Broadway attraction
playing to the capacity of the house
During The three years following 1t
was interpreted by six companies
throughout the United States and
Canada and everywhere attracted
large audiences. Now that A IL.
Woods has produced a screen version
of this American masterpiece, II Is
figured roughly that, in all, about ten
or twelve million persons will watch
Ii on the silver screen.
The estimate includes a large per-
centage of those who witnessed the
stage presentation and naturally will
be curious to see how more fully 1t
may be done on the screen, and the
millions of moving picture lovers
who are alert for the coming of a
really imposing feature. Common
Clay is one of these and care was
taken to surround Miss Ward by a
most capable cast of specially select
led players.
The star and her support under the
skilled direction OF George Fitz-
maurice combined In making a per-
feet performance, rich in faithful
character study. human feeling and
human failing and compelling emo
tional appeal.
The general concensus is that this
screen version of the American mas
lterpiece, which will be shown at the
Victor Theatre all week Is a gripping,
absorbing sensational play.
