Public Responding

T feel confident that we are going to raise the s15,000 required to erect a suitable memorial to Osmond Kelly In gram" said Frank o. Croy, secretary of the Ingram campaign. "We have workers in the flied this week and we are receiving glowing reports of the subscriptions to date.
 While we have arranged for teams to work all parts of the city, much trouble would be saved if those wish ing to help out the fund would send in their checks to Ira Randall as treas urer, or me as secretary. The larger industrial concerns are giving, fine response. The Stockham Pipe and Fit tings Company has agreed to give as much as all the several hpndred em- ployes. Committees are at work now and 1t is expected that large sub scription will be received from the employees. We are expecting to close the campaign with whirlwind finish Saturday.

PILGRIM IS DRAMATIZED

From the Kansas City Star.
 IF the Bible drama, '"The Pilgram and the Book which Percy MacKaye has = written for use in all churches in the Pilgrim teTcentena.y celebration this fall is adopted widely II will not only serve as fitting reminder of the religious char acter of the founding of America but a reminder as we'll of the power of dra- matic presentation :ss part of real wor- ship. .,
 Mir MacKaye's reputation as drama tist is sufficient assurance that the drama he has now prepared for the American Bible Society may be used as a worthy part of the Pilgrim tercentenary. In the dramatic treatment and presentation of themes beth historical and religious MT. MacKaye has done a most valuable serv- ice in America. No American has done more than he to make drama an affair of the people rather than an affair of a few intellectuas or of commercialized in- .erests.
 The Pilgrim is an admirable subject
 
 for use as a church service. The wonder is that the subject has not been seized upon before and made the matter for an historical and religious pageant of im- mense proportions. For notwithstanding all that has been written about the men and women who played so, large part in establishing the American nation, 1t is doubtful whether most Americans under stand the real character of these people. The date of the Pilgrim landing in Amer ica and some of tn; hardships and char acteristics of the early corners are known; but oddities of speech. dress and behavior are among the most familiar things about the Puritan character today.
 It remains to be emphasized that the Pilgrim was man primarily moved by

spiritual interests; a man whose guide was the Bible and ais conception OF cod; i; man who believed to the inmost core Of his being that he was divinely commits stoned to build a nation, and who believed that he was led even as the children of Israel were led to a land of Canaan Such a man, naturally, would attribute divine significance to every event of his daily life. And because the result in icule to later generations, it should not le forgotten that in big matters the Ril- grim really demonstrated that God and the Bible were guides to true greatness, spiritual and material. , I. is well that MT. MacKaye has stressed the essential principle of the Puritan's action, the fact that he was
 a man seeking freedom in his ideas and
 worship of God. The Pilgrim Is, there
 fore, as MT. MacKaye brings out, . sym
 bol of man in his perpetual struggle for
 liberty in acting upon his conceptions of the truth.
 Incidentally, it Is of interest that the
 Puritan, who eschewed the theatre and
 everything pertaining to the dramatic in
 his worship, should himself be treated dramatically, and in sketch designed for 8 church service. But the Puritan's ob- 'jection to the drama was based upon his knowledge of what the theatre or the practice of the drama was in the Eng land of his day The objection was alto gether wrong in principle and partly wrong in practice. The probable use of
 of other dramatic compositions in the
 church or in connection with religious af- fairs. are reminders that the religious origin of the drama was significant. and that it's religious possibilities should not be oYerlooked

An Honest Man Is
 Found In Missouri

7F old Diogenes were alive today, ll he would extinguish his lantern, give out an interview to the news paper men, pose for the movies and retire to his tub. An honest man has been found. He is G. H. Force, of the Tenth Missouri district, who was defeated for Congress in the demo- cratic primary.
 Being an office seeker, the strict probity and moral courage of MT. Force are all the more remarkable. His claim to immortality rests on an itemized list of his campaign ex- penses. "1he total cost to get double crossed $236.6s," tells the story, but not in detail. The details are what the impatient reader wants, and what he shall have immediately.

Not Surprised

Tt doesn't surprise me bit that there Is such large number of auto mobile thefts in Birmingham" said Gaines Kelly, and I think that there will be many more cars stolen unless we get some more men on the police force.
 Birmingham has the smallest police force of.any city of it's size that l know of. Speeders and other law violators can do nearly as they please. It seems like they never run the slightest chance of getting caught.
 Tt is my opinion that the automo bile Nef has an easy thing of it here in Birmingham and that during the night, unless somebody sees him take the autom obile, he has scant fear of getting caught"

BEATTY OF OLD ENGLISH

1 sh estates, that have been under cul-
>tfvation for centuries, is shown in the
First National feature, Mind the
Paint Girl" with Anita Stewart, which
is appearing at the Gem and Washing
ton theaters on Friday.
Vast ground with their beautiful
flowers of all kinds, their gigantic
trees, the great spread of lawns and
the playing fountains add greatly to
the attractiveness of the picture. One
scene in particular, that of the home
of Captain Nicholas Jeyes, the part
taken by Conway Tearle, is Of partic-
ular interest.
The sets also were arranged with
the greatest care to get the exact
English atmosphere of the interior OF
the English homes. No time or labor
was spared to make these ineriors
highly artistic.

ALL MEN ARE SERVANTS.

Tongues Of alien hatred splitting
venom at the foundation-stone of
American Liberty-a 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" Frenk Keenan's latest
contribution to the silver screen, an
intensely interesting drama which
comes to the Pastime Theater on We'd
nesday.
In a scenario written by Jack Cum
ningham from story by F. X. James
(the nom-de-plume of Mr.. Keenan,
himself) the motive of "The World
Afiame" has to do with the problems OF
employer and employee, while, in no
sense preaching, it spreads the doc
trine of Good Service" The author
takes the stand that all men are serv-
ants, whether statesman at the head
of the government, or the mental re-
moving the refuse of city streets-all
are on the one plane when actuated by
the mutual aim of good service con-
scientiously rendered.

"THE LOVE BURGLAR"
JACK LAIT'S PLAY FILMED.

Wallace Reid is next to appear in a
Paramount picture adapted from a
stage play. The play zone of Us" was
written by Jack Lait, the well-known
dramatist, and had its premiere at the
Morosco Eheater in Los Angeles, some
months ago. The screen version is
"The Love Burglar" and it will be
shown at the Gem theater next Tues
day.
In the stage production, the chief
role was played by a feminine star, but
for the purposes of the screen, the
leading male role was made the most
the most important. 1t appeared to the
producers also that the male lead was
by far the most important of the two
parts. The picture with this change
is said to be one. of the best vehicles
which has been furnished Mr.. Reid in
some time.
The story deals with the adventures
of young society idler, who, finding
his younger and erring brother in a
fought slum saloon, strips him of all
his valuables and sends him home.
