BIuebird Whether or not ''The
Cabinet Of DR.. Caligari" proves popu-
lar with the general public. the city
owes a debt Of gratitude to the manage
ment Of this theatre for having the
nerve to produce It. 1t is so totally
different from the films we have been
seeing that most persons are too sur
prised 10 make up their minds on the
spur OF the moment whether they like
II or not.
Yet 1t at least has the merit OF
striking out In a new way to express
on the screen the mental attitudes Of
the persons concerned in the story. II Is
all weird and carries u spirit Of unreal
!ty, but that 10 exactly what 1t is In
tended to do and II stands out as prob
ably the most notable addition to movie
technic that the last year has shown US.
"Dr. Caligari" ought TO be seen by
every one who is really interested ir
films. 1t is a genuinely "big" piece of
work and 1t Is likely to form a basis OF
comparison for some time to come.

Ambassador 1t is 30 seldom that
Charles Dickens finds his way to the
screen that when he does praise is in
order rather than criticism, no matter
what the quality of the picture taken by
other standards "Our Mutual Friend"
is not a technically great picture In
lighting, direction and continuity it has
serious faults. However, there is sin
cere purpose. there Is evidence Of great
love and admiration for Dickens and
there is some very excellent acting.
"Our Mutual Friend" is both DIFF
ficult and n wise choice among the
Dickens novels. 1t Is difficult because
Of the multiplicity of characters and
scores Of side themes. 1t is excellent
picture material in view Of the many
melodramatic high lights and the vivid
atmosphere attending the waterfront
scenes.
The cast Is we'll chosen for type, and
although there are no big, well known
names, they are uniformly excellent.

him of my vision. He talked
with interest, but when told him OF

He agreed with me that ne knew 0f
no railroad enterprise in Mexico that

that II had been the dream OF his
life, and that his connection with the
Chihuahua and Pacific had only been
in the hope that this railroad would
eventually reach the Pacific, He told

Human sympathy bubbles strong in
the breast Of Secretary Henry c. Wal
lace of the Department of Agricul-
ture, who is just now using his
strongest personal influence with the
commandant Of the Marine Corps to
keep a marine from being punished
The Secretary, with Assistant Secre-
tary f. D. Ball. j. L. Cobb, chief of
publications, and Harlan Smith. di-
rector of information for the depart
ment, was driving back to the depart
ment administration building from
lunch when just in front of his office
one of the reins was grabbed by a
marine. The horse was startled and
dragged the marine, who was run
over by the carriage. The marines
~buddie" said he was suffering from
shell-shock- At the hospital It was
said that both marines were suffering
from something else
Secretary Wallace's chief concarn
has been that the marine would not
be severely punished. He has re-
cetved several letters apologilng for
the act, and has written personally to
Gen. Lejeune, commandant of the
Marine Corps. saying that he hoped
the marine would not be made to
suffer. and that the incident had in
no way lessened his high regard for
the Marine Corps.
