DECEPTION"

Unquestionaliy a stlpendous pic
ture-one whose greatness and whose
glory have never been exceeded in
screen productions Deception, ,"
which opened a widely-heralded
weeks engagement at the Queen
Theatre yesterday. The presentation
is in the nature of triumph, for its
sweep Is Irresistible and its appeal
all that could have been claimed for
1t by the management or producers.
Here is q real story told so that
intelligent people can enjoy 1t. Here
is a work that holds the alert inter-
est almost continuously despite the
fact that it is historical. Many people
shy at the historical in entertain
ment, fearing either that they will
be bored or may be accidentally edu-
catd, but they need not avoid DE
ception" unless they object to a real
story of real people.
The story Of Anne Boleyn, the wife
OF Henry VIII, long has interested
a sympathetic world. As emphasize
ed in Deception" in which she is
the victim OF Blum King Halls decep-
ton and treachery. the story exert
powerful appeal upon all who
watch the development Of her tragic
love story.
The production is at once magnin-
cent and massive and with thou
sands OF persons taking part in the
numerous animated scenes, the pic
ture attains grandeur seldom wit
messed on the screen. Henry Porter
and Emil Jannings, two Of the mos
famous screen players in Europe

AT THE ALDINE.

As an example Of the rapidity
with which many obscure actors
grow into movie stars. the case Of
Charles Emmett Mack is almost un-
paralleled. Mr.. Mack. together with
Ralph Graves, made his appearance
last Saturday night at the opening
OF the beautiful Aldine Theatre,
Market at Eighth street. Both play
leading roles in David w. Grimth's
Dream Street." which is delighting
the patrons of the Aldine this week,
and the presence Of these young men
IN person made the occasion doubly
interesting.
A Few facts concerning the phe-
nomenal rise Of Mr.. Mack may be
noted for the benefit Of those who
saw Mr.. Mack at the Aldine last
Saturday. Charlie Mack was born in
Scranton, Pa, eighteen years ago.
Like all the other boys in the town,
whose parents are not wealthy,
young Mack worked as a breaker
boy In the coal mines. But he liked
the atmosphere OF the theatre and
soon became a programme boy with
one of the big Griffith films touring

That we have a fairly good sys-
tenn for training and equiping our
people to perform inteuigentlv
the duties of citizenship in free
and representative government
no one who observes the progress
OF our commonwealth will pre-.
sumo to deny; but that our educa-
tional system has been brought IN
to that degree of perfection which
yields all that is needed or desir-
ed, no one who is familiar with
political, social, or religious con-
dltlons, will scarcely be willing
TO affirm. Then the question
arises: How can we improve our
educational system and methods of
training so that they will achieve
all that we desire and need. Re-
plying to this question, we would
answer in a general way that,
watching the operations of our
educational system and acuuaint-
ing ourselves with it's products,
we should learn the point or
points at which it fails and dis
cover the cause or causes thereof :
and then bring into play our best
wisdom in the elimination of the
cause or causes of failure, and
remedy the defect.
In inaugurating our education

cultured and intelligent, moral
and generating citizenship; and
thus create a commonwealth OF
the highest type Of civilizations
Education is the result Of PRO-
cess Of awakening and drawing
out the latent powers Of. the heart
and mind of the pupil towards the
things that are righteous and
equitable. And that system Of ed
ucation which does not lead the
thoughts of students towards pu-
rity of character,and square deal
ing with their fellowman, does
not produce the highest type Of
citizenship; and therefore fails 81
its intended purpose. It is clearly
to be seen that, the lines Of pres
ent-day thought do not tend TO-
ward the love Of righteousness,
and the hatred Of iniquity. And
hence, our educational system hal
not evolved out Of the great nla1e

of our rugged people, citizen
ship in love with that which is
equitable and righteous, or en-
tirely willing to enforce the most
wholesome laws of the state, or to
scrupulously observe the ethical
laws of social order. Here then,
is failure at a vital point in our
civilization.
God has always controlled the
thoughts and conduct of men by
implantng divine impulse in
their hearts. A steam engine must
have governor or when steam
is up it's rate of revolutions is ir-
regular and uncertain; so the de-
veloped powers of the human
brain without the controlling, di-
recting, and regulating influence
of righteous heart, may run wild
and reach very undesirable and
harmful conclusions. There
should therefore be religious
element in the education of every
person. In properly developed
human character there is close
relation between the heart and
head. So that, the character of
the things upon which a person
sets his or her affections, deter
mines the trend of the life. What
we need, then, is, to put into our
educational system large meas
ure of strong religious element.
For it is obvious, even to a casual
observer, that the voice Of con-
science has become so weak or
muffled that it's cry is scarcely
heard, and seldom obeyed, in our
political policies; business sys-
TENS; social fabric; or religious
methods. A person minus con-
science void Of offence is an unde-
sirable citizen because he weak
ems the functions Of state, and
vitiates it's character. Our, edu-
cational system needs to be care
fully studied and its weak points
strengthened, and it's defects e.
Eliminated.
To achieve the highest and
most permanent results, our edu-
cational system must produce a
stalwart citizenship whose ambi-
ton is a state of untarnished
character; whose wish is for the
general welfare as against self
ish gain; whose pride is in the
even and exact administration Of
justice; and whose delight is in
ever increasing intelligence, and
the growing goodness of the peo-
pie. We must therefore, develop
the wisest and most effective sys-
tenn of education possible, if we
hope to stand in the forefront Of
progressive states, and as beacon
lights at the head Of the column
of peoples marching on to a high
er civilization.
