ALL HEARTS THROB WITH PATRIOTISM AT ENGLISHS
Observes Anniversary Week-Fatty a

All hearts are beating as one this
week at English's.
Because the finest example Of pa
triOtism as reflected on the screen to-
day is being presented at English's I'M
der the auspices of the American Legion.
The vehicle used to drive home the
blessings Of living in the land of Old
Glory. is a movie version Of The Man
| Without a Country" by Edward Everett
Hale.
There is no doubt that the lesson of
this story as adapted for the screen Gets
into one and the result is a better IN
Outstanding of the sacrifices that the vet
Grams Of all wars made to keep floating
Old Glory as the symbol OF freedom to
the world I frankly admit that this
movie worked me up to the highest point
of enthusiasm, and 1 seldom experience
personally so much feeling from screen
/ entertainment.
The pages Of history are opened to
those who attend Englishs this week
in as entertaining a manner as one could
desire. The story concerns the days Of
! Alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burr and
other important men Of the day, includ-
ing President Thomas Jefferson. This
era is crowded fun " dramatic events
which lends themselves%o a thrilling re
cital on the movie screen.
The picture from a production stand-
! point Is remarkable for the historical
I accuracy in which the details of events,
costumes. locations NOnd characters are
| developed. TIE modern ''iashback' and
splendid photography. aided by care
I full use OF the deadly CLOSE up all go
in making The Man Without COun-
try a notable and pleasing film.
The outstanding feature OF the picture
is the work OF Arnold Daily. a well known
and carefully trained character actor, as
| Philip Nolan, who. IN the story, is one Of
the followers of Aaron Burr. 1t is well
known that Mr.. DAILY In historical por-
/ trayaIs IS one of the leaders today and in
creating Philip Nolan for the screen, the
actor has brought all Of his fine touches
TO the silver screen.
IT IS satisfying 10 observe the work Of
Z Mr. DAILY, first as Philip. a young man,
who is in love with every pretty female
face. then as the troubled Philip when he
becomes interested in the independent
thought or the early period, then In the
more dramatic moods when Nolan. while
being tried as a fellow conspirator Of
| Burr's. declares that he never desires to
hear again the words United States"
During the trial scene. Mr.. DAILY con
tributes some Of the most remarkable
screen acting l have seen In my years OF
covering photoplays. Mr.. DAILY will wiring
your hearts. when as his hair turns white,
he realizes his terrible mistake and the
full significance Of the sentence of the
Federal Court that be is never to hear
Of or see again the United States Mr..
DAILY brings to these scenes the attributes
possessed only by finished actors. He
never overplays and this drives the lesson
home 10 a most telling manner. Even the
death scene of Nolan, aged and broken.
. Is done with the characteristic natural
touch displayed By the actor during the
entire movie.
The actors used in presenting the char
I acters OF President jefferson. Burr. Alex
ander Hamilton. President Lincoln have
been painstaking In their efforts to pre-
sent an accurate likeness" OF the famous
men.
There are numerous well directed
scenes in addition 10 the trial scene, such
as the famous duel between Burr and
Hamilton. the early battles Of the Ameri-
c. IVY and the pretty love scenes Of
rI- period.
The story OF The Man without
( Country" is presented as hashback'
when an aged uncle Of a young man Of
today warns one Of his relatives the
danger Of not supporting his country in
the last war.
Opinion do not hesitate in recon-
mending THE Man without Country"
