AMERICANS ABROAD
IN RED CROSS WORK
United States Citizens Far Away
Enthusiastic Members of the
Fourteenth" Division.

Among the most enthusiastic and
energetic members of the American
Red Cross are those citizens OF the
United States who live outside the
continental boundaries of their country
sons and daughters of the Stars and
Stripes residing at the far corners of
the earth.
These people compose the Insular
ana Foreign Division of the parent or
gaEfzation, generally known as the
Fourteenth" Division, which has
Jurisdiction of all territory outside
the country proper; that is, Alaska.
Porto Rico. Hawaii. Virgin Islands, the
Philippines, Guam. and even the is
land of zap, which came under our
flag as a result of the world war. For
the year 1920 this division reported
30S0S paid up members.
The main object of this division is
to give our citizens everywhere the Op-
portunlty to participate in the work
of the organization which stands for
the best national ideals. Americans
in far places intensely loyal and pa
triotic, treasure their membership in
the Red Cross as the outward ex-
preston of their citizenship. 1t is an
other tie to the homeland and TO
each other. There are chapters of
this division in Argentine, Bolivia,
Brazil, Canal zone. Chile. China, Costa
Rica. Cuba, Dominican Republic,
Ecuador, England, France, Guam,
Guatemala, Haiti, Hawaii, Honduras,
Japan. Manchuria, Netherlands, Mica
ragua. Paraguay, Peru. Philippines,
Porto Rico, Siberia, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland, Syria, Turkey, Uruguay.
Venezuela and Virgin Islands.
During the war these scattered
members of the Red Cross coatrib-
uted millions in money, and millions
OF dollars worth OF necessary articles
for the men In service, and sent many
doctors and nurses to France. At the
same time they carried on an excel
lent Home Service In their respective
com@unities for the families of those
who had gone to war, and In some re-
gIoas gave large sums of money and
Unreasonable personal service to the
relief of disaster and disease victims.
The division is now establishing
service clubs in foreign ports for the
beaeit of sailors in the American Mer-
chant Marine, making plans to aid
Americans in trouble in foreign lands
and completing arrangements for Civ
ing immediate adequate relief in case
of disaster.
1t Is the Fourteenth Divisions part
in the great Peace Time program Of
the American Red Cross.

RED CROSS ASSISTS
DISABLED VETERANS

The American Red Cross Is carrying
on a wide program of service for the
disabled World War veterans receiving
treatment in United States Public
Health hospitals, and those being train
ed through agencies of the Federal
Board for Vocational Education.
In each of the Public Health Service
hospitals Red Cross workers devote
their time to the general welfare of
the service men from the day they
enter the receiving ward until they
are discharged. After the soldiers dis
charge the Red Cross continues its
friendly service through the Home
Service Section in his own community.
The Red Cross maintains GONZALES
cent house at all of the hospitals,
where patients can nmuse themselves
after they are well enough to be up
and around Parties and picture shows
in the wards are also furnished, with
occasional excursions when GONZALES

the men. The workers also follow up
and aid all men who discontinue train
ing.
The Red Cross agents find men "lost"
to the Board. help clear up delayed
cases and aid the college counselors in
their friendly work with the men.
Many Red Cross chapters have set up
recreation facilities and !a some In
STAGES living clubs. so these victims
Of war may have attractive surround
ings and the fun which must go with
effective school work.
To the American Red Cross Institute
for the Blind near Baltimore, Md,
more than half of all the Americans
b&soded In the World War have come
for training. The Institute, through
the Red Cross, long ago conducted an |
exhaustive industrial survey to deter

WILLIAM RUSSELL DUE

A powerful story is promised in a new William Fox production. Sacred silence" starring William Russell, which is coming to the Central Thurs day and to the Eagle Friday.
 Advance reports indicate a photo play that is unusually dramatic, deal ing as it does with social life in the exclusive army set--a phase of life which is the more fascnating because so little is known of it by the average layman. The action revolves around an interruptions woman the chaos she brings into the lives or three men fellow officers who are closely united by bonds of friendship. The story of fers exceptional situations and with MT Russell as the star should find high favor even with the most dis eliminating of photoplay audiences.

Turning the Table" Is Opportunity For
 Excellent Actin g

If plotting aunt and an unscrupu- lous physician had arranged to have you confined in a private sani- tarium under the preteXt that your mind was unbalanced; if the car was ordered and the nurse on hand; and if your room was already waiting for you, what would you do?
 Did you ever meet the condition in which a nurse would say you were in sane and you would try to prove your sanity?
 That is one of the situations that confront Dorothy Gish in her latest Paramount picture Turning the Tables" which will be shown at the Central theatre Sunday.
 In this case Dorothy meets it in a way that may work in some cases and not in others. This time it resulted in her having the freedom of the grounds, being courted by the man she wanted to marry and finally es- caping The above is but one of the many situations that are said to make this picture one Of the snappies that Miss Gish has yet presented.

Wellington Playter, who is Captain Rydal in Back to Gods Country" " takes dive underneath the ice in the frozen Arctics, in a scene from this picture which will be shown at the Eagle theatre on Sunday and Monday.
 In the story he loses his life by fall ing through the ice. He makes the real dive and you see him gradually sinking in the water under the brok- en ice, and it is not until the scene is ''shot" that he swims back to the sur face. His final warning was to make the footage short and no retakes.
 This beautiful story of the north lands was taken from ''Wapi, the Wal rus" in Good Housekeeping" writ ten by James Oliver Curwood, the foremost portrayer of animal life or the present day.

Constance Talmadge Is VirtuOus "Vamp"
 In Excellent Movie

The disadvantage of having a tender heart is made plain to a score of New York boys when Nelne Jones, pretty stenographer in the office of James Crowninshield, smiles her captivating smile at them and then leaves them with only vague memories of what might have been. This is the plight of the lovelorn youths in a "A Vir- tuous Vamp," starring Constance Tal- madge and which will be seen at the Central Monday and Thursday and at the Eagle Wednesday.
 A Sweet, Innocent Thing?
 However Nellie Jones' vamping is of an innocent nature. She is the daughter of an arfsrocratIc family which meets with serious losses as a result of the San Francisco fire. In order to get employment, she is forced to drop her high-sounding name of Gwendolyn Diana Beaufort Armitage- Beaufort Armitage.
 Gwendolyn. alias Nellie, meets with fine success in the business world un- til she reaches the office of the presi- dent of the company and falls in love with him. A shimmie artist, a detc- tive and two snobbish sisters make the picture one of the best of John Emerson's and Anita Loos' many sue. cesses.

REGENT CONCERT
 BY MILE. NAVAES

To the Editor of The Age-Herald: | In recent criticisms which appeared in l the local papers here on the pianoforte I recital of Mile Guiomar Navaes it was
 pathetic to note that those who essayed | to analyze her playing had not even taken the trouble to correct in their notes the changes which appeared in the orig | inal programme. and, in one instance, an unjust criticism was given to the quail ! ity of the piano rather than the fact I that the lack of the acoustics of the Jef- l ferson theatres were to blame and are
 detrimental to tonal clarity and reson- ance. A valuable oportunity was lost 1 to give to the concert going public bet ter insight into just what her playing l represents in the world of musical art. i At the last minute Mile. Navaes elected to play Chopin Sonata in minor Opus , 5S, in place of the M minor of Lizt, and again later omitted a Chopns Scherzo, playing in it's place the tenth Hungarian rhapsody of Lizt.
 Her reading of Brahms Vriations in
 minor on a theme and Fugue of Han del, showed a remarkable breath and un- derstandin gof this philosophical num- ber and while she did not lose sight of the fact that it was Brahms she was playing, yet in the recurrence of the theme of the older master she allowed it 1 to dominate, withal maintaining per- I lCIt tOiadi pdidilSS. I1GT ucNtiOpiiChe O- i the Fugue was masterly It was pleas | ing to note in her Chopin numbers that she adhered to Chopin rather than exploit 1 her own interpretations as is so often done by pianists, and yet. in the pianis- simo passages she devealed new beauties by her exquisite delicacy of tone and nuancing The Butterfly Etude Opus 25 she repeated.
 In the Spanish group of Albuniz she seemed most at home, and played with an abandon and verve that was charming, especially was this noticeable in the &c., gudille. Muskowskrs La Jongleuse" 1 formed charming interlude between the more profound numbers of Brahms and 1 the remainder of her programme As a final encore she added Taussigs tram scription of Bethovens Turkish March From the Ruins of Athens" Her ped- ding was excellent, and in referring to l it one might well say, as did one critic | in referring to a concert by Paderewski,
 | that she played as well with her feet as
 | she did with her hands.
 | Certainly the Music Study Club is to
 be congratulated on bringing to Blrming-
 | ham an artist of the type and callbre ot | Guiam Navaes.
