Selwyns' New Times Square
Tbeater Presents Latest
In Architectural Beauty

The World and his Wife went forth
in q downpour Of rain last Tlfursdxy
evening to hefp the Selwyns celebrate
the opening of their beautffu1 new
Times Square Theater in Fortyssecond
Street, To Florence Reed was given
the distinction of opening the new
playhouse in Edgar Selwyn's own
play entitled "The Mirage"
> The Times Square presents a charm
ing picture, while it insures the Quiet
comfort of it's audiences. It's interior is
the Empire style and in ceior it is a
symphony of silver aud green against
a background OF black The tone of
the walls is silver gray. The tone Of
ground of the carpet is Black and the
curtain drops in graceful folds of
black velvet. The touches of green
about the auditorium are so delicate
in tone that it IL imrerceptible where
they melt into the grays, color ar
rangement which is not only extreme
" artistic, but one which rests the
eye and quiets the nerves. The
tapestried orchestra seats continue the
harmony of color dnd are SO comfort
able as to put one in pleasant frame
of mind for the reception of q play.
From the orchestra floor a grand
stairway winds Up to the mezzanine
Hoo-, off which lies the ladies' snok-
ing and retiring room, with it's every
convenience for women guests. The

The Times Square is the first Of .bs
twin theaters which the Selwyns Will
open this fall. The second will ba
called the. Apollo and will open +,
doors to the public in about month.
Ihe two theaters are alike in construc-

Theater. The auditorium to the Apol-

win be reached by a long and besuti-

bit of serious work with her delightful
clowning Miss Gish also cherishes a
desire to give UP the black bobbed
wig which has become such an in
tegral part of her screen personality,
and. to appear, at least occasionally,
IN her own, golden locks. She also
wants to go back to California for a
visit, but before that she is going to
Massillon, Ohio, the town in which she
went to school. for visit with her
namesake, the daughter of her cousin.
Rome and Paris may be fine. New
York is all right, but | never can
forget the little town where ! went to
school," she said emphatically. "It is
in the small towns in. this country
that you find real Americans I'm an
American and l always want to live
with my own people. The Monroe
Doctrine gets my vote"
And then she laughed and surveyed
the little French sleeveless dress and
the stubhy. gray shoes she was wear
ing. This is fine dress for me to
wear when Pm waving the Stars and
Stripes. I'm afraid it's going to be
almost q total loss, I bought it for
the Champs Elysees and now I'm
headed for Main Street, Massillon. 1
wouldn't dare put it on there. Where's
the nearest drugstore? l must buy
package of mothballs."
New-York tribune., 1920-10-03

Only 1t seems to me it takes more cour-
age to be a coward than to be brave.
That Is paradox, / guess. Think of
what a coward 10 up against who wig
giles his way to the rear. He is sure
to- be caught, and then think of the
humiliation and punishment and the
loss of regard of all of his fellows.
II can illustrate this better by tell
ing how felt. When the top Of the
tank was blown off and hid in q

that my officer wasn't with me. Right
then and there / didn't stop to think.
But | suppose if my nerves hadn't been
in good condition would have been
too dazed to do anything. AS it was
acted ively-in going back and

moment, as it were"

26, 1918. During an operation against
enemy machine gun nests west OF
Varennes Lieutenant Call, then Cor
poral, was in tank with an officer
when half the turret was knocked OFF
by direct artillery hit. Choked by
gas from the high explosive she'll he
left the tank and took shelter in a

the officer did not follow, Corporal
Call returned to the tank under intense
machine gun and shell fire and carried
the officer over a mile under machine
gun and sniper fire to safety"
Two days after the medal-of honor
performance Call was wounded and
spent some weeks in the hospital He
was commissioned in the autumn and
took part in the Saint Mihiel and Ar
gonne offensive After being sent to
the hospital again because of an infec-
tion of his old wound he returned to
the states as a casual--to get married,
in this respect, just like the heroes Of
fiction.
Donald Call is diffiden. chap and
slow to speak about his Impressions.
"Of course you know" he said, chat
the usual impression any one has of
soldier who has done anything worth
while is man with big frame and
muscular appearance. AS a matter Of
fact, however, this is all wrong. The

Miss Gish paused and gazed intently
at the tea leaves in the bottom Of her

just off the avenue became suddenly
noticeable. There came to mind one
OF her recent Paramount Pictures, in
which she had told her own fortune

"Yes, end the past" she answered,

Donald Call, Hero in 'Irene,'
Won the Same Title ON Battle
Fields, Despite His Shyness

Playing musical comedy role In
"1rene" Is the new twentieth century
type Of hero--and needless to say
fiction has not caught up with him as
yet. Still do the lady noveists write
about. the somber, stern-faced officer,
who frowns at the feminine hearts he
disdarns until the last chapter; and
the blood and iron storytellers, from
the heights of Harlem, speak of the
unsmilng hero, the all around athlete,
and man of the world, who faces dan
gers of death with a careless speer.
On the stage of the Vanderbilt The

Call, plays an important part in

are no lines on his face, from suffer

out as a real hero.
The fact is, however. that in the
late war Donald M. Call won tho high
est honors possible-he is one of the
fifty-four men, out of the entire
American Expeditionary Forces who
won the Congressional Medal Of
Honor, one of the rarest and most au-
thentic tokens of bravery awarded by
nation. In addition to this he has
q Croix de Gurrc with silver star for
bravery. and he Is the only man be-
side General Pershing to win the cita-
ton Of Montenegro for the Fifth
Grade of the Order of Danilo l.
Which, any one will acknowledge, is
quite a breathful!
First let us examine Mr.. Calls cita-
tion, and so, before interviewing our
hero~-who has some unusual ideas on
the subject of heroism-visualize the

THE BOY SCOUTS AND
BETTER CITIZENSHIP

(James E. West, Chief Scout Ex-
ecutive, Boy Scouts Of America).
The Boy Scouts Of America has
from its earliest stages been dedicated
to the proposition that the making
Of good citizens Of sterling character,
sound health and high ideals in its
primary objective. Good citizenry isn't
born over night 1t is the outcome
of years of preliminary training and
the formation Of certain well estab-
ished habits and attitude Of mind.
Learning by doing is fundamental
In the scout plan and this principle
is applied not only to modifying, sig-
mailing, trail making and other tech
nical aspects Of the program but to
citizenship as well. The scout learns
to be good citizen by being one.
The moment he Is enlisted as O Ten
derfoot Scout he begins to be on
duty, is pledged to be "helpful to
all people" at all times and to be q

THE MAKING AND RE.
MAKING OF CITIZENS

(By Evangeline Booth, commander
Of the Salvation Army in the United
States).
Americanization, it seems to me, Is
twofold process. On the one hand.
it means the training and transfor-
nation Of the immigrant from per-
son of alien background, outlook,
heredity and perhaps sympathies to
loyal, useful, acclimated citizen,
endowed not only with the ballot but
also with knowledge and understand
ing Of American traditions and ideals.
On the other hand. Americaniza-
ton means the remaking into good
citizens of those who, whether for
eign born or native, have fallen from
their high estate and by reason OF
their SHINING against their fellow men
or against themselves, have forfeited
the right to be called true Ameri-
cans"
Taken from either angle, the mani
fold activities OF the Salvation Army,
IL seems to me. are essentially and
primarily phases OF the process OF
Americanization The immigrant we
meet at the port of entry and assist
to locate his relatives already here.
We are many times instrumental in
securing the first Jobs for many OF
these newcomers. The children OF
foreign-born parents we take from
the slums of our cities by the thous-
and each summer and give them out
ings Of from week to a month In
our numerous fresh air camps. A
formal flag-raising exercise is a part
OF the daily program at these camps,
and the incubation OF loyalty to and
love for the flag constitutes a def
mite part OF our work with these po-
tential young Americans.
In the hospitals, the day nurseries,
the slum settlements and all the
other many institutions OF the Saliva
ton Army In the United States, 10y
atty to God, to the flag and TO coun-
try are the things most impressed
upon those with whom our officers
come In contact
But II is In the remaking Of bad
citizens into good ones that the Sal
walton Army Is doing an amazing
work OF Americanization. Who can
say that America is not better today
for the hundreds Of drunkards whom
the Salvation Army in this country
has helped to permanent reformation,
to responsible positions and to useful
citizenship
What finer work of Americaniza-
tion exists than the harboring OF
unfortunate girls and their namcless
babies7 Do not forget that over 3o,-
900 nameless children are born in the
United states every year and that
the Salvation Army alone takes care
Of almost one-tenth OF them. To see
that all these innocent children are
reared to love and honor the land OF
their birth is one OF the biggest
single tasks confronting m, Army
today.
oh. Americanization is such a glor-
ious work, II Is 50 truly OF the very
