By Harriette Underhill

Even before we met Allan Dwan we
were sure we should like him, first
because he had a sense of humor and
second because he wrote to US from
the coast more than year ago, when
we were fresh from the kennels, in
a manner of speaking, and asked our
advice on two separate occasions.
1t makes one feel so important to
be consulted, especially when you know
that you don't know anything much.
When we first began to see pictures
we were not greatly concerned with
who made them. If the story was
good and we liked the star that was
as far as our interest went, and then
one day we talked to Maurice Tour
neur and he said, when anything
goes wrong cherchez lie directeur."
So we started to notice and we soon
became acquainted with the best sell
ers of Cecil De Mile and Thomas Ince
and Herbert Brenon and Marshall Nei-
Ian and we came to visualize these
directors as we watched their work on
the screen.
If man is known by the books he
reads how much better is he known
by the pictures which he directs.
Therefore we know that Allan Dwan
had sense of honor and we never
ceased to remember Bound in Mo-
rocco" in which the heroine, rescued
from the harem, wore Liberty Loan
button and with tears in her eyes
gasped out as the subway finished
YETI" Of course to bring that up to
date the title should be changed to
"Is the escalator at Park Place fin
ished yet?'
But to return to Mr.. Dwan, as who
would not, when we heard that he had
come East and that we were going to
meet him at luncheon we were quite
sure that we could pick him out with
out any guide. We expected him to
! be tall and blonde, something like
Henry Warner, only with curly hair,
for we'll leave it to any one if Allan
Dwan doesn't sound like that.
And there he was dark and looking
almost like Douglas Fairbanks But
he had sense Of humor, that mar
velous gift Of the Creator, which alone
makes 1t possible for men TO live and
use the telephone and the surface cars
and the subways day after day

He sweeps everything before him like

WEARY OF ROUTINE
Eternal Protest Against Same
ness of Things.
Act of Man Whoo Died Rather ThaH
Submit to the Wearisome Common
pIaceness of Life Causes inter-
esting Comment.

A newspaper item reports the sui
eide of man who declared that he
was tired of everlastingly lacing his
shoes and then unlacing them again.
Petty enough the act appears in the
grist of the days news, but the report
of 1t (be it fact or fictiOn) fingers In
the mind till against a larger back
ground of time it begins to take on
significance, even to find place be-
side immortal acts of legend and ia
nffliar attitudes of art. Here was a
man who found the master knot of his
fate in his shoe Iacings. Was he a
fool or hero? Alexander has fame
for an act which as a symbol might
have much the same significance, a
,resolute blow of the sword through
the Gordian knot, which disposes OF
the difficulty without solving the prob
lem. For himself the suicide had dis
missed routine with a suaye gesture
and with superb finality, but he leaves
mankind in the attitude of LAGOON,
agonizingly entangled in shoe lacings,
the serpent routine, huge, insensate,
unrelaxing. In its grip man writhes
forever, hopeless Of escape. To this
group the suicide waves jaunty fare
well-''The best of luck to yOu," he
says. I'm out of it, anyway"
Whatever our scorn for him, we
must admit that he voices unmistak-
ably the eternal human protest against
routine; that it Is really only in the
suavity of his gesture and the supreme
finality of the rejection that he goes
beyond the rest Of us. The feeling
that commanded his act Is nearly the
most universal Of human impulses.
We all rebel bitterly in the days when
heaven lies about us, and the later
shades Of the prison house are nothing
more than the creeping paralysis Of
hopeless submission. Only those of US
who have trodden the mill so long
that we are almost irreclaimably sub
dued to what we work in prefer, in
such times as these when we have the
choice. counters and ledgers to
trenches and barbed wire. The lad
who with whoop of joy filings behind
him his columns of figures or vaults
the counter in his eagerness to rush
into poison gas and machine-gun fire.
though his gesture is one of bravery
rather than suavity, is that Of Alan
Brock, rather than of Beau Brummel,
makes his rejection of routine no whit
less final than does the hero Of the
newspaper item. And he is not the
one in a million who makes the Ma
tiOnal army.-Robert P. Utter in Har-
per's Magazine.
