HARoLD BELL WRIGHT

This latest story from Mr.. Wrigh,'s
facile and prolific pen is quite evidently
written with very definite and serious
purpose. The message that it brings to
the American people at this particular
moment in our national history is we'll
worth reading. OF course there are pas
sages in the authors characteristic style,
in which pathos and Tenderness arc
skilfully and knowingly portrayed. All
in all, it is very appropriate piece of
Christmas reading.

Why Mirth Has Been Called Goods
Medicine" by Those Capable Of
Appreciatinq L.

Mirth has been called Gods medi-
cine. There are few persons who can
not testify to the saving value of a
smile. There is a story told of man
who received a wire while on a bust
ness trip that his business had been
wiped out by fire. The depression
which followed this news threatened
for time his mental balance, and he
even gave serious thought to taking
his own life.
While In this dangerous mood he
received letter from his daughter, a
girl Of nine, which read: Dear Dad
dy-I went down to see your store that
was burned and 1t looked awfully
pretty all covered with ice. Love and
kisses from Helen"
The man laughed and the day was
saved. That CLINT Of humor was like
ray of sunshine In a dark cell. The
spirit of the man was released from
the prison of his gloom.

his cabinet the emancipation proelama-

The home of William Hudson was

Popularity Of Bible AS
Literary Masterpiece
Expected to Be Great
ly Increased by Films
BY Charles E. Hughes.

Los Angeles, Nov. 22-The pop
ularity Of the Bible as literary
masterpiece is expected to b
gre1tly increased as a result o.
the production of Biblical photo
plays by a company soon to be
formed here.
Frederic Vroom, former Shake
sperian player and for the last
eight years a photo play actor,
with more than 800 appearances
IN presentations of the largest con-
Germs to his credit, is to be director
general of the new enterprise.
1T Is the expectation OF the
hackers Of the new project that
the popularity of the Bible will
become more universal through
the depletion in films Of some OF
The many great stories that II con-
lains," said Mr. Vroom. AT first
The Biblical subjects will be limit
ed to two reels, but later longer
LllInS VIII pc maues
Great Moral Appeal.
"There are 175,000 churches of
all denomination in the United
States, and If only a comparatively
small fraction of them exhibit
films to their congregations 1t can
be seen what a stupendous moral
appeal can be made to the Ameri-
can public.
ut is the intention Of the new
company to make their subjects
strictly undenominational, so that
they can be shown in any church
without objections from any mem
ber. No expense will be spared In
making the films as attractive as
possible At the same time great
care will be exercised in making
the productions conform to the
text of the Bible.
''It will be strict rule of the
company that everyone connected
with 1t in any way must be a
Christian OF good character. This
will apply also to the actors and
every member Of the producing
staff.
Can Do Much to Aid.
while the film subjects will be
expected to appeal primarily to
churches, they will also be availa-
BILE for preseptation in such Of
the higher class theaters as desire
toeportray them. An investigation
he's shown that many theaters will
exhibit them.
ut is my impression that the
Biblical films will do much to ele-
vate the motion picture industry az
whole When producers find that
these historical narratives make a
winning appeal to a large percent
age OF the public they will change
the tone of the offerings they are
now making" /"
Mr.. Vroom won distinction with
his appearances with Edwin Booth
and Lawrence Barrett from 1856
to 1891. He became affiliated
with the film industry about ten

years ago as director, but later
