4 SCREAM IN THE
 NIGHT" AT AMUSU
 SUNDAY AND MONDAY

The management of the Amuzu Theater announces that the new select special attraction, "A Scream in the Night will be it's attraction for sun day and Monday. This announce ment is of more than passing interest in view of the fact that "A Scream in ehe Night takes its place among the greatest pictures made since the in- ception of the art.
 The picture achieves US grea mess principally by reason of it's unique and powerful dramatic story. Written by Charles A. Logue. the story is based on the Darwinian theory that man is evolved from monkey.
 A cold monster of science, Professor Silvio aspires to prove Darwin right. Tn accomplishing this he hopes to achieve immortality, for, with Dar- Adam and Eve will be branded as be destroyed and God will be taken from humanity. That will be his inn mortality, he proclaims.
 The experiment with which he hopes to prove Darwin's theory is wild creature whom he brings up in the jungles. The creature, named Darwa, is taken to civilization where society accepts her as a woman Robert Hunter, a young aristocrat. falls in love with her. He is being congratu- lated by his friends, when Silvio steps in and declares that he is to be con- graduated upon the success of his ex- pertinent. The creature Is not wo- man, he explains, but the. result of his experiment, therefore, only half hu- man.

WOOD AND HOOVER.

The fact that there are only two of
the possible candidates for the presi-
dency who are attracting the serious
and public, to which attention has
been called in The State Journal, is
noted also by The Review. which, un-
der the caption. 1.-TWO White Hopes"
discourses as follows:
In the public mind. as distinguished
from the schemes and combinations of
political manag gers, the two names that
are far and away foremost in the presi-
Dental field at this time are those of
General Wood and Mr.. Hoover. In
this circumstance there is ground for
genuine comfort, at a time when COM
fort in the contemplation of our
political state is a very scarce article,
indeed. For, whatever else may be
said abou. either of these candidates..
they both rest fundamentally on great
and rare achievement. 1t was General
Woods admirable work in the re-
generation of Cuba that was the basis
of his subsequent career, as we'll as the
primary cause of his high place in
public esteem. And his hold on that
place was signally confirmed by the
invaluable part which his foresight,
energy. and efficiency played in Civ
ing the country some degree of pre-
paredness for its entry into the great
war. Mr.. H0over's emergence as a
possible candidate for the presidency
arises still more distinctly from the
exertion> of splendid administrative
powers in momentous work success
fully accomplished. In contrast with
the nightmare of political importance
exhibited by both parties at Washing
ton. these things shine out with special
lustre. and 1t must be solace to all
patriotic Americans to think that they
are adequately appreciated by the
nation. That both the men were from
the outset staunch supporters of the
allied cause in Europe is an additional
reason for satisfaction. and one by no
means without importance in its bear
ing upon the future.

Attentions Without Intention.--1.
have received a letter from an
irate young woman who says:

a social dead beat. But 1 think any
girl who let's herself be treated that
way is so silly that she ought not to
be permitted to go around without a
guardian. She should be locked up in
an asylum for the feeble minded.
There is no more difficult problem
that girls have to face than that of
