man alone goes it alone and looks
out for number one.
Dogs, by ages of contact with man,
have lost their social instincts largely,
but dogs, when they have a chance,

All charity, friendliness, unselfish-

and morality-are based on the recog-
milton of the humans inability 10 live
for self alone, and those nations whose
people are bound together, work to-
gether, love and play together, are the
nations that endure.
Probably the elemental cause for
this is that these virtues are offshoots
of the primal law of nature-the law
of generation, of creature creation by
association, of sacrifice for the young
and the weak that the race may en-
dure.
Probably the weaknesses Of modern
civilizations will be found solely in
those things that make men and wo-
men solecisms, and probably the
strength of society persists in those
elemental associations-the family, the
church, the school, the lodge, the club.
The tendency of higher civilizations
is to breed bachelors and spinsters.
When such civilization breeds enough
of these it dies, and some simpler, more
natural, less sophisticated and warmer
hearted society replaces it
So, actually, the higher man goes, the
harder he falls, and the nearer he
keeps his feet on the ground and lives

reproduction that consists Of all the

like the great Charlie or Doug. and
Mary who have gone into their own

the way Of aggregate talent has ever
been assembled before. The drawing
power Of almost any OF the names on
the roll has always been sufficient to

they are appearing in a single produc-

Way Down East" will open at the
Deluxe theatre where it is booked for
an engagement Of seven days begin
ming saturday, November 5th.
Way Down East Is the outstand-
ing hit Of the current season on the
American stage. It is being seen
throughout the country simultaneously
and playing TO tho greatest crowds
that We're ever drawn to see an Amer
lean story since the establishment of
our stage. over a quarter of a million
theatre-goers in the different cities of
the country are weekly witnessing its
presentations. This is a good average
attendance for a season for an ordia-
airy attraction and speaks palmer than
any words OF description as to the
merits and the appeal Of the Griffith
masterpiece.
The screen version il based upon
