AMERICAN LEGION
TO SALVATION ARMY
Kentucky Department Commander VI
rie Bell In Strong Letter to All
Legion Members.

Uric Bell, department commander
of the American Legion, of Kentucky,
in Il recent endorsement OF the Saliva
ton Army, said:
1T will not be necessary for the
American Legion to say to the former
soldier that the Salvation Army Is a
good thing and deserves support. II
is already well known that Johnny
Buck has learned to respect the Sally
Ann under a stress that has tried the
souls of both. Soldiers of the Saliva
ton Army shared in common, during
the late war, the same risks and dam
gers faced by those who now make up
the American Legion. 1t is the hope
of the State Department of the Legion
that the Salvation Army will meet with
great success in its work and the con-
viction that 100 units of the American
Legion in Kentucky will stand shoul-
der to shoulder with the Army in all
good things"

Appeal is May 1920.

George at. least, that strange country in
which he has no slightest part. concern or
business periodically throws it's fascination
over him irresstibly as a drug. Magical
unreal, feverish. Intoxicating, soothing
Countrywide land of Behind the Scenes
Even while George is going about this
fascination he stoutly asserts that he has
never once desired to become a naturaIized
citizen of that country. There have been
times, he confesses. when he has felt that
he could be man of titanic commercial
achievements; again he has been convinced
that he was born to become a giant among
statesmen; wind and weather permitting,
George has felt capable of engaging success
fully in every occupation known to the mind
of man; but never between the cradle and
Philadelphia, he swears it, has he felt the
slightest stirring of any desire to become
an actor. Most people have; George has nor
And yet in spite of this, George admits
brazenly, the fascination exerted upon him
by the stage and it's people has no equal

philosophers.
Therefore George goes back stage when
ever it is humanity possible.

easily explain you this universal itching to
meet the actor in his native heath, to gaze
upon the scaffolding behind the painting.
Every person living seeks to escape from
the actualites of existence" he will say.
For most this escape is to be found most
readily in witnessing the make believe world
OF the theatre. And after they have been
charmed out of themselves by the picture on
the stage, what more natural than curl
osity to how the trick was done, to pry
into the tinse and lath that made glorious
Troy, actually to meet the prince whose
voice tore at your heart strings as he smokes
a cigarette in his grease paint?
George Is not satisfied with this. Some
how, that explanation doesn't explain he
says. THE fascination of lingering in the
presence Of the men and women who are
creating make believe remains inexplicable.
And am content to leave it so.
The outsider Is apt to feel constantly in
the way. even after he has been invited back
of the stage. In whatever narrow passage
way he places himself, he is sure to feel that
