FARMERS ARE ASKED
TO Lend HELPING HAND
Prof.. H. A. Morgan Makes
Appeal for Contribution Of
Grain for Starving People.

DR.. H. A. Morgan, President
of the University of Tennessee.
recently issued the following
address to the farmers of Tenn
eesee in behalf of the campaign
to raise $4,000 bushels Of corn
and 1000 bushels of wheat in the
State for the relief of starving
people of the Near East:
ITO the Farmers of Tennessee:
The Near East Relief organiza-
tion, incorporated by Act of Con-
gress in 1919, and promoted by
of the most substantial citi-
zens of America, has asked
Tennessee to contribute $4,000
bushels of corn to the starving
populations of the countries of
the Near East region.
1--WE have 25O.OOO farms in
Tennessee. Surely $4,000 Of
this number can contribute to
this Christian enterprise the 50.-
600 bushels, which would not be
more than a bushel of corn per
farm. 1t is hoped that through
temporary organization of the
citizens of each community of
the State that this contribution
will be made and ready for ship
ment under the general instruc-
tions of those in charge of the
Near East Relief Service in
Tennessee by November is.
".Your hearty cooperation in !.
the contribution and assistance
in the organization will be most
helpful.
H. A. MORGAN"
Prof. P. P. Claxton, while
Commissioner of Eduction. wrote
the following Endorsement of
the Near East Relief Public
School Campaign:
II sincerely hope that teach
ers and children in the public
and private schools of the
United States will cooperate
heartily and literally with the
Near East Relief in raising
funds for food and clothing and
care of the children and others
who have sufferd from the
ravages of war in the countries
of the Near East. To do this
will only be doing what we
would have others do US if, like
these people, we were reduced
to poverty and suffering through
no fault of our own, but through
the ruthless ambition of others.
American sympathies are always
as extensive as the need Of those
who are uuable to help them
selves. We are not made poorer,
but only richer-m e n t a lily,
spiritually and in meterial wealh
as well by giving where We can. /"
The movement has the indorse-
ment of the leading men and
women of the country. The or
ganization for the work in Ten
nessee will soon be completed,
and it is expected that there will
be no difficulty in raising the
quota of grain asked from Ten
nessee. Kansas has already
sent in the first two car
loads of grain that have gone
forward in the campaign. and
the work is progressing in other

Real Chariot Race
Is Chief Feature
Program. at Garden

The old adage like father. like
son" 1t seems does not always hold
good. In many cases a son is de-
cidedly not "a chip of the old block"
and this is well illustrated in two
scenes in that stupendous photo
drama "Madonnas and Men," which,
in conjunction with an elaborate
prologue. the main feature of which
is an actually-staged Roman chariot
race, is the featured attraction at
Moore's Garden Theater this week.
In the few ancient Roman scenes
of this motion picture masterpiece.
we see a prince defying his father,
the emperor. because Of the latter's
desire for unlawful amusement. In
the body of the great feature pic
ture the modern story has as one of
its tense scenes, a son defying mis-
millionaire father because the older
man means to sacrifice a beautiful
young girl to further his desire for
revenge.
without doubt this same scene
has been enacted many times In real
life without. of course, becoming
public. II is made most realistic In
"Madonnas and Men," due in great
part to the fine acting of Edmond
Lowe, Anders Randolf and little
Raye Dean. who play principal roles.

France Enters Film
OF Real Distinction
For Shouting Here

France is to be represented on
American screens soon. and. IL the
judgment Of English reviewers may
be accepted, by a photo-dramatic
work Of distinction.
The picture Is "J'Accuse," written
and directed by Abel Gance, and
not, incidentally, an adaptation Of
the book of the same name which
appeared early in the war. although
IL Is based on the war, too. Marc
Klaw, Inc, will present 1t in New
York early next month, according
to the announcement.
The film was produced something
more than two years ago. and
reached London about a year later.
Extracts from some of the reviews
Of 1t which appeared in the English
newspapers indicated that "JAc-
cuse" was something unusual in
both sub1ect-matter and treatment.
Alder Anderson, for example. be-
gan his review in the Daily Tele-
graph as follows:
JAccuse," for which the author
has adopted the title made famous
by Emile Zola more than a score Of
years ago, Is scathing Indictment
Of those who deliberately provoked
the greatest catastrophe in history
and brought ave years, of untold
misery on the world. It cannot.

Versatility Is the
Real Keynote of
OBrien's Film, Success
Versatility.

Versatility.
A word that sums up in an In
slant the secret OF the success OF
the entire motion picture industry.
In fact, II the word had been ere
ated expressly for application to
the ''ffth estate" II could not have
been more appropriate than Web
sters definition, which reads: Ver-
satile-Turning with ease from one
thing. subject or opinion to an
other; many-sided. variable" As
versatile as the art OF the silver
sheet itself. is the ability OF its
leading proponents, and 1t would be
a long days search to find q better
example of the fact than in the per-
son of the SelZnick star. Eugene
O'Brien. whose latest Selznick pic
ture, "'Gilded Lies" opens a week's
engagement at the Strand Theater
today as the photodramatic attrac-
ton of the vaudeville and cinema
bill.
Mr.. O'Brien has in his time played
many parts, and has succeeded in
making each one of his likeable
heroes q distinct Characterization.
This versatility, coupled with an
ever watchful eye on the likes and
dislikes of the public, has placed
Eugene O'Brien in the very front
ranks Of the male stars of the ST.
lent art
Upon Mr.. O'Brien's first stellar
appearance he was assigned to an
exotic type Of role for which there
was a great demand. According to
his own statement, this was one Of
the most difficult roles, as 1t neces-
STATED the entire submergence Of
his own personality into the char
acter OF the part. The success OF IL
Is now a matter of hlm history, and
further comment is unnecessary
Then followed q series of produc-
tions In which the popular Gene es-
sayed everything from light comedy
TO romantic tragedy, his list OF
character portrayals including rug

idlers, politicians, crooks, and. In

Woman's Army Battles Men
In Holubar's Big Picture

Never before in the history Of pic
ture making in this country have
the manifold natural advantages of
Southern California as a producing
center been so amazingly empha-
sized as in "Man-woman-M
riage," biggest of First Nationals
Big Five" and a spectacle drama
that has probably created more COM
ment since its recent release for
public exhibition than any picture
presented during the last decade.
This is all the more remarkable
when II is known that the thousands
Of persons who took part IN the
stupendous undertaking performed
their tasks in the immediate vicinity
of Los Angeles.
The most startling episode in the
entire production, and one OF the
most astounding ever recorded by q
motion picture camera depicts a
terrific Amazonisn battle in which
two mounted armies, one OF women
and one of men. struggle with all OF
the realism Of actual conflict. This
mammoth scene was filmed in the
Sierras only q short distance from
Los Angeles and required many
weeks of continuous effort on the
part of director, players, supernum-
eraries and mechanics.
A camp was pitched in the hills
and operated on strict military lines.
Hospital tents were under the
charge of army doctors and pro-
vision was made for the comfortable
housing in weatherproof canton
ments of almost 5000 people in ad-
dition to the vast number of horses
used in the battle scene. fodder. me-
chanical equipment etc. This one
episode in the story cost more in
fve-reel features.

constantly during the enactment of
the spectacle. were hlmed in Los
Angeles and vicinity and another Of
the most effective OF the incidents
Of past ages was realistically pho
