TOURNEUK'S INDIANS LOOK LIKE WARRIORS

It's good entertainment.

It's good entertainment.
That is our verdict of Maurice Tour
neur's film version of Cooper's 1.-THE
Last of the Mohicans."
1t is indeed a very difficult thing to
make a film version of this good old
story and not make 1t look like a bur-
lesque on a wild west show or a travesty
on history.
In seeing 1.-THE Last of the Mohicans'
at the Colonial yesterday afternoon 1
realized that Mr.. Tourneur has avoided
the many pitfalls which other producers
of less vision and wisdom would have
fallen into If they had attempted the
job of making this romantic story into
a screen vehicle.
Tourneur has attempted, and appears
to have been successful, to retain the ro-
mantle side Of the story in the film YER
sion. He has been able to show the evil
| effect of whisky on the Indians and when
influenced by fire water" Tourneur al
lows his Indians to massacre the white
settlers right before your very eyes. Then
quick as a flash, TOurneur permits the
Indians to be wiped off of the map be-
cause of their terrible deeds of death.
He points out that no race of people
can live on murder record.
Again, Mr. Tourneur has cIeverly made
uP his indians" and has as carefully
rehearsed them in Indian ways. I have
before me some advance information re-
garding the method used by the director
in re-creating the 800 Indians needed for
this movie. The information is to the
effect that 800 extra players had their
heads "scalped" to look like real war
riOrs and their hair was oiled and
brushed down fat then bronze silk
stocking caps were pulled tightly over
their craniums with the result that they
looked like bald Indians. Then small
scalping locks or tufts of hair in wig
form were stuck to the "scalps." 1t is
stated that these Indians were used
as background" and that the leading
actors for the closeup action actually
shaved their heads.
Regardless Of what method Mr.. Tour
neur used in making his Indians" look
like the real article, the result has been
realistic
There are many beautiful scenes, espe-
cially the forest scenes and the old fort.
The fight episodes have been well
handled. The ending Is tragic and 1t is
In these scenes that the genius Of the
director is so clearly reflected The pic
ture really ends with a benediction.
Opinion: THE Last of the Mohicans"
is a worthy attempt TO transfer from the
printed page to the silver screen one OF
the best stories ever written. It is an
other Maurice Tourneur achievement.
At the Colonial all week-W. d. II.

THE sHERWOODS MOVE
TO ISIS FOR ENGAGEMENT.

After completing a weeks engagement
at the Lyric, where they made new
friends and retained the admiration Of
the old ones, Bob and Gayle Sherwood
and their singing orchestra are now at
the Isis this week for a special engage
ment.
The Sherwoods have unique method
in dispensing their melody as they be-
came a part of the audience. BY this
method melody comes from about every
corner of the theater. Their numbers
are well selected, both the vocal and in
strumental numbers. The Sherwoods are
q solid hit and have marked box office
power as judged by the big business at
the Lyric last week.
The movie feature at the Isis this week
is Thomas Melghan IN The Easy Road
He is supported by Lila Lee and Gladys
George. This Meighan person is becom-
ing one of the real interesting individ-
uals on the screen today. He always
can be counted upon to give a satisfac-
tory performance. The story of Neigh
ans last movie concerns a novelist, who
on winning fame and money settles down
with a rich wife TO enjoy life. In his
new surroundings he loses his ideals and
nearly loses his wife. Meighan is seen
as the novelist who rises 70 fame ana
fortune and then becomes a driffer ana
a failure az a husband. The story has
the happy ending Even the movies must
leave a good taste with the silver screen
patrons.
This interesting bill is at the Isis all
week.

GLASS OF SALTS
CLEANS KIDNEYS
If Your Back Hurts or Bladder
Bothers You, Drink Lots of
Water.

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore. don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you
keep your bowels clean, by flushing
them with a mild, harmless salts
which removes the body's urinous
waste and stimulates them to their
normal activity. The function of the
kidneys is to filter the blood. In "a
hours they strain from it 500 grains
of acid and waste, so we can readily
understand the vital Importance of
keeping the kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take tablespoonful IN glass OF
water before breakfast each morning
for few days and your kidneys will
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to clean
and stimulate clogged kidneys; also
to neutralize the acids in urine so it
is no longer a source of irritation.

COMMON SENSE IN POLITICS.

The announcement that civil service

news. 1t shows a desire to conform

of all industries of our government.
Men who have had experience and
nave shown ability will be selected,
e-and the postal department is not to be
used for paying political debts. The
postoffice is not to be a sop to be
passed around to pay political work
ers.
President Harding has enlarged on
the plan of President Wilson by per-
hitting any one of the three highest
in the examinations to be appointed.
This is wisdom and it is political. 1t
means that no democratic postmaster
who might take the examination and
be the highest in point of efficiency in
taking the examination, will be abri
trarily appointed. Two others will be
eligible.

reward for some political debt owed
the congressman. Then why should
our post office department be made a
pawn to be given to political worker
without any regard to his efficiency
or ability to fill the position?
Men who can pass the civil service
examination for efficiency in work
should be given the preference in these
important positions. If the postal
department is to be made what it
should be it must be taken GU. of
politics and placed on a business
basis. Moscow has men who are
amply capable of being postmaster
because of years of experience in the
work and these should be given the
preference in selecting the head of the
office 1t is customary in all business
to promote efficient men to positions
for which they have shown qualifi-
cations No business is Of greater
Importance than our postoffice depart
nent and no other business could
if conducted as the postoffice
has been conducted. 1T is time there
was a change and the one announced

nendation of Postmaster General |
Hays, is good one. .sz

How to Have Pretty

method will produce a far better and ret
tier effect, without any injurious result
whatever. If just small quantity be ap-
