Dramatists can no longer resort to
the monolosuc or aaidcs TO reveal
the inner thoughts oil their charac-
tiers.
And it is an exceedingly difficult:
art to do so by means OF the dia-
logue. The dramatist is forced to
break in on his own puppets with
a comment in order to explain their
inner psychology. often marring his
work.
But think OF what the drama. OF
Jealousy will be. for example. when
the psychological movie is created.
Think of the profundity, the irony.
the movements of the persons will
constantly be shaped by their pro-
lection on the screen under the forms
of different images.
These images will not speak. and
the interest in them will be only In
the conflict of their own kind, images
of sorrow, images OF hate. OF love.
or righteousness, of suspicion. and
so on.
Think OF scene between two men
seated quietly at a table who have
in their hearts great hate for each
other and evil designs. What tragedy
and inner conflict can be- revealed TO
the public by means of the projec-
ton of sinister images.
While these two remain calmly
seated talking to each other in the
affable manner of friendly acauaint-
ances, the images will reveal the
drama that is actually going on. The
theater could never do this. What

1t is impossible 10 speak exactly
OF the moving pictures of the future.
There has already been consider

But l see the time coming when
the moving pictures will emphasize
moro and more the symbolic POSSIBLE

it is more than likely that the

Camp Perry. is an ideal place for

There may be some changes in the

that no other human being has
ever been able to do. Therefore
L. K. Washburn is one of the
worlds greatest men. He has
worked a miracles Therefore his
name ought to stand out Oh every
page Of our current history like
a search-light in a fog. But, as
| have already stated, the name
Of this great man, L. K. Wash
burn, does not appear in any of
my reference works or histories.
Hence | am bound to conclude
that L. K. Washburn does not ex-
ist.
It hardly seems worth while to
waste any more time answering
the arguments of a man who
does not exist, but this is a good
place to release a few more
thoughts that are kicking each
other around in my brain.
To start with, I am going to
show you that L. K. Washburn
deliberately lies when he says
that Josephus does not mention
Jesus Christ. If you will get
down your Josephus and turn to
his Antiquities of the Jews"
Book XVIII, Chapter III, Para
graph 3, you will find the follow
ing:
Nov there was about this time Jes-
us, a wise man, if it be lawful to call
him a man; for he, was a doer of Won
derful works, a teacher of such men
as receive the truth with pleasure. He
drew owe to him both many of the
Jews and many of the Gentiles. He
was the Christ. And when Plate, at
the suggestion Of the principal men
amongst us, had condemned him to
the cross, those that loved him at the
first did not forsake him; for he ap-
peared to them alive again the third
day, as, the divine prophets had fore
told these and ten thousand other
wonderful things concerning him. And
| the tribe of Christians, so named from
him, are not extinct at this day."
So there. -"
Now let me tell you the reason
that Jesus was not mentioned
very much by the writer's land
historians Of his day:
He didn't stand in with the
plutes, that's why.
The conspiracy of silence is
not a new thing. It was known
and used in the time of Jesus
just as it is now. It made ne
difference how great a man was
nor how many wonderful works
he did, if his teaching and in.
fuence was not in harmony with
the wishes of the ''ruling class
he was buried fathoms deep4i1
silence. The life and teaching,
of Jesus didn't suit the bose:
of his day, and so he was ignored
and all of his wonderful work
Explained away"
The very same kind Of bust
ness is going on all over tn
world today. A conspicuous cas-
is Charles T. Russell. There wa
one of the worlds greatest me-
all odds the greatest thee

Russell a single time. Why?>Not
because he was not known. In
deed not. There are mighty few
people in the world who do not
know him. Then why such a
loud silence? Because his teach
ling did not harmonic with the
popular creeds.It did not suit the
bosses. To be sure, many of the
little theological puppies have.
barked and snarled at his heels,
but they and their writings will
soon be forgotten. If the world
were destined to go on in it's old
way for a few hundred years
longer (Which it is not) there
would not be any evidence in the
histories that such a man as
Charles r.: Russell ever lived. The
only proofof his existence would
be his own writings and those
of his friends and followers.
Another case is Eugene Debs.
There is a man who, in Gods
4eyes, is bigger~and better than
all the presidents we have had in
a generation. But what is the
public allowed to know about
him? The public knows he is in
jail as a criminal, and that is
about all. The little that is
printed about him in the 'respec-
table press consists mostly of lies
and ISLANDERS. His name will not
appear in any of the recognized
histories that the capitalist boss
es will permit to live. That is,
if they can help it. But they
can't. q
Every age of the world has
produced men like these strong
clean, honest-hearted characters
who were "unorthodox" and out
Of harmony with the bosses of
their time; men who dared to be
right rather than to be popular.
These men have always been
crucified, burnt at the stake or
thrown into prison. And always
the weapon of silent contempt
has been used against them. The
rule is, if you cant answer a
man you must ignore him.
This explains very clearly why
Jesus was not mentioned in the
secular histories of his time.
!, They could not answer him, and
SO they ignored him. If they
) had written a true record of the
| wonderful life of Jesus it would
!, have given the lie to all of their
} Town big notions, and they could
; MT afford to do that. So it was
5 silent contempt" for Jesus all
: along the line.
Woodrow Wilson is supposed
to be a great historian. If be
awhile longer he may under
take to write a history of these
times-from his viewpoint. VIII

Gus Debs case? No-sir-ee-bob
Not him! The chances are ter
to one that he will never mention
