combine TO make the depletion one of
the greatest to be offered this season.

The motion picture world makes a
more direct appeal TO people who are
In no way connected with it than
possibly any other line OF work.
Directors. authors. photographers
etc, were once hazy figures necessary
but embarrassing. Now. even the
author comes in for her share of
praise or blame. This, | think, can
be attributed somewhat to the recent
mad rush toward books and plays
The well known writer's were feat
ured as a matter OF course, but before
their entrance into the game the
authors OF screen stories were pain
fully unimportant And so this
logged determination OF the pro-
ducers to buy up every book and play
ever written may have. unconsciously
done something for the original
writer.
This possibility did not occur to
us six months ago, 1t seemed nothing
less than tragic to hear that forty
nve or nifty thousand dollars had been
paid for book or play In which we
knew there were no motion picture
possibilities. And il did not comfort
us any when the picture turned out
Just as we expected and was criticized
In newspapers and magazines. 1t
only puzzled US and we wondered
why the producers did not realize
that il was not fair to make the
public yawn through any sort OF
picture just because ii advertised it.
self
And six months ago the public
was not asking whether this book
or that play would make "a good
picture. They knew the one in
question had been popular, they re-
lied on the judgment of the film
company who bought it and went to
see the picture.
II 1t happened to be novel that
depended upon it's clever character
ization or on the charm of it's style.
or a play which succeeded because
of its clever lines, of course. they
didn't like the screen story.
But that day has passed with the
otscurity of the director and the
author. The public decides now: Il

OF course. the entry into the mo-
tion-picture field OF such authors as
Henry Arthur Jones and James
Barrie, and OF such producers as
w. X. Zegfeld, who has done such
fine things in the world of music
and drama, and who has been so
quick to realize the value Of orig
iral material. has already had it's
expected beneficial effect on the art
of the silent dram.
Personally, do not think all
motion pictures should be made from
original stories. but I do feel that
play or book should be selected
just as an original story is-because
it's purchaser believes it will make
good picture. And I don't think
il is fair to produce old stuff that
would be returned to an original
writer by the next mail.
On the other hand, believe a
good book or play is worth anything
In reason, IL it will make a good

believe now that the motion
picture world is settling itself on
a more normal level, where the
original story will have fair

seen as the featured attraction of the

"Earthbound" is the title of a
gripping tale Of love, passion and
dynamic forces through which Basil
King advances one of the most re-
markable Of all theories concerning
life after death. Although the theme
is sufficiently distinctive to set the
picture apart as one of the truly re-
markable pictures OF the year. the
theme is not allowed to subordinate
one of the most engrossing of photo
play narratives of the human triangle
and a material creed of living that
was shattered to bits In the face of
supreme eternity.

MATTER OF DEATH IN DOUBT
Authorities Puzzled a. to Whether

Makes him Legally So.

AL r., Williams, United States dis
trict attorney for Kansas, received y
letter short time ago asking his opin-
ion as to the status of q person upon
whom death sentence has been exc
euted who has been legally pro-
nOunced dead, but afterwards regains
consciousness and RECEIVERS.
The case cited was that Of five ban
dts who were convicted OF highway

die by the old Spanish method Of
strangulation. After the execution, the
five bandits We're placed on the floor
of church to await funeral rites in
the morning. In the night three re-
gained consciousness. Two Of the
three died "agaln" in Il couple of days,
but one recovered. although left In u
deformed condition.
The questions asked are whether the
bandit who lived could he strangled
again, or, II he could not, would the
fact that he was legally pronounced
dead prevent his being tried in the
courts II he committed another crime.
Mr.. Williams wrote an opinion 10 the
inquiring person, declaring that he be-
lieved that an order could be obtained
from the court setting aside the first
execution as having never been per
formed and another one ordered.
His opinion was that if the bandit
were not killed, finally, he could be
held amenable for other crimes, al
though legally he WAS not in existence.

MUST NOT CRITICIZE

Oscar S. Strauss, chairman of the
general comittee on the limitation Of
armament is averse to criticism, ant
puts it very plainly in the following
statement
"At this great crisis in the worlds
history" the statement issued by Mr.
Strauss said, "the official spokesman
for the peaceful longing of the United
States must be accorded the fullest
support of the country and left rea-
sonably free from criticism until they
have had time to develope specific
policies.
1t is unfortunate that such state
ment could have not been made upon
the eve of President Wilson's attempt
to promote world reace. With the CO.
operation of the public such changes
might have been made in the League
covenant to make it acceptable to
America.
No political prejudice should enter in
TO the proposition, and If there is am
chance to promote limitation of
armament program it should be well
coined by the people of both political
parties.
The Democrats felt the sting of pol
itical opposition keenly, but we sim
cerely hope that they will not let pre-
JUDGE guide them in this instance
and that they will lend every assist

Lenine, the Russian premier, says
that the United States will be at
war with England or Japan within
the next seven years. He declares
that chase for the gold will bring
ON the war. Scientists believe that
in the Ural mountains there are
great quantities of gold, and Lenine
reasons that there will be quarrel
over this gold. American citizens
are leaving it to the disarmament
conference to make war impossible.

A FRIEND

The Democrat heartily agrees with
the writer, who is a prominent Liber-
al lady, that everything possible should
be done for the disabled soldiers. This
is duty which the government owes
them, and should be handled as gov
eminent proposition. We also believe
that the living ex-service men should
be properly compensated by the gov
eminent for their sacrifices. How
ever, the honor which we as individ-
uals owe to those who gave their liv-
es, should be paid by the communities
from which they went, and thus ev-
cry phase of the situation would be
properly handled.
