DUCKS AND DRAKES" WITH
 BERE DANIELS AT GAI.AX

Bebe Daniels is cute, saucy and naughty in Ducks and Drakes," her latest appearance, now at the Galax. The picture itself, which is a thrillingly mischieyous thing, is, well suited to the talents of the star, in fact better suited than anything in which she has ever been shown here. The role of the de- lightful little flirt, who only flirted over the telephone, because her natural in stinct for life was thwarted, is acted with Bebe Daniels delightful sense ot humor.
 Bebe Daniels, as Teddy Simpson, in the care of a fussy and overparticular aunt, has many occasions to bout. Shut up in her room on the slightest occasion, she invents new game. The game is to draw numbers from the telephone book and call the numbers promiscu- ously. By a queer twist of fate she draws two handsome young men, who, nevertheless. are the very two men in the world she shouldn't have called. But it was very exciting to the little flirt to talk to MT. x, a worn-out nan of the world, and to be the unknown and be- loved heroine of the handsome anarch- ist's free love sonnets.
 Then very humanly in the end it is proved that the only reason Teddy did like she did was because she had been badly managed and unnecessarily op- posed

"BULLET-PROOF" WITH
 HARRY CAREY AT RIAITO

Harry Carey in Bullet Proof is the feature this week at the Rialto. It is much the same kind of picture that Carey is usually featured in, being strong and virile western drama. How ever, the love theme this time is more than usually intricate for there are two women who love Pierre, played by Carey.
 Pierre is a brave westerner made ex- tremely attractive in the performance of Harry Carey Among hs--many inter esting experiences in western Wilds he faces death with a girl during a land- slide. The girl so bravely faces death and is withal so personable that she wins the lasting love and admiration ot Pierre. So he starts on a search for her, plus determination to get Me Kurk, a murderous villain, who is his deadly enemy. Before things have reached happy ending another girl comes into the story and McKurk proves that he is not to be led like a lamb to the slaughter.
 There is some good acting in the pie tuer,. some comedy and the expected mountainous western scenery that add beauty to the interest of the picture topic.

EX-GOVERNOR O'NEAL IGNORED

Ex-Gov. Emmett O'Neal has been elected a member of the Phi Beta Kappa society, one of the most dis tinguished college organizations of the United States.
 Notice of this honor was received by Elk Governor o'Neal yesterday when he received a letter from pr. George H. Denny, president of the University of Alabama. The letter follows: My dear Governor:
 You have undoubtedly received from Professor Doster, as secretary of the Phi Beta Kappa society, notifica- tion of your election to membership in this society. I desire to extend to you my congratulations.
 You undoubtedly know that the Phi Beta Kappa organization is not an ordinary college fraternity. It is an organization founded century ago at William and Mary. It promptly round it's way into Harvard, Yale, Columbia and other leading institu- tions of the east. For nearly a cen- tury it has represented the highest ideal of scholarship, character and achievement in the leading American colleges.
 Membership in this organization is NOhotoOACU OiSi OI5 lHt nlRneSL nOnOrS that can come to any man. Many of the leading scholars, statesmen and literary men of the country belong to the organization, and regard it as the greatest distinction that has come to them.
 Unfortunately there are few chap ters of Phi Beta Kappa in this section of the country, and even our most able and distinguished men have very little knowledge or the organization. In fact, some of them confuse the or sanization with the ordinary college Greek letter fraternity.
 "I am sending you my congratula- tions, and I assume that you will be writing Professor Doster, accepting membership in this distinguished na- tional organization.
 With regards and best wishes, be- lieve me, yours very truly,

OLD BELIEFS ABOUT EASTER
Oeep-Rooted Ideas That Have Beer
Current From the Earliest Days
of the Celebration.

Thera is an old weather supersti-
ton to the effect that If the sun shines
on Easter it will shine on Whitsun-
day
If you bathe with cold water on
Easter day, you will keep well all the
year.
There is another old superstition
about eggs, and that is to rub over
the face an egg that has been colored
for Easter to have a nice complexion.
To cry on Easter Is sign you
will cry the following Sunday, too
1t is bad luck to keep Easter eggs
They should be destroyed.
If a rabbit runs across your path
on Easter Sunday 1t is good luck
sign.
For the lovelorn, there Is warning
that one should not get engaged on
Easter Sunday. else the engagement
will be broken.
"Give a man a red egg at Easter
to secure his love-" is On old gypsy
amendment.

nose, delicate mouth and lowered eyes
portray pathos and spirituality rare
ly found on canvas. The background
Is dark brown, while the robe is n

Prado gallery at Madrid
Murillo was born i'm Seville In 1917,
and although poor boy became the
chief master of the School of Seville
His early life was struggle and It
was not until after he married lady
of wealth that he was able to carry
out his work to perfection. He painted
many religious pictures, especially
madonnas and scenes of the crucl-
fixion. He died in 1852.
SOLARIo.
Ecce Homo (Behold the MANI by
Andrea Solario, presents an entirely
different conception of Christ A
bleeding head crowned with thorns is
against black background. The red
robe has fallen from one shoulder,
leaving the arm and part of the chest
nude. The hands are tied together,
one holding long thin pointed stick.
The face Is almost stern with Its
tightly drawn mouth. The eyes are
lowered and there Is tear drop
falling from the left one. Indeed so
remarkable is this painted tear drop
that people stand fascinated before
the picture, some OF them declaring
1t is real tear. The face shows
the Man in deep thought. The pic
ture is In the gallery at Milan and
is by far the most striking of the
entire collection.
Andrea Solario. who is responsible
for the work, was a painter of Milan,
born In 1850. He studied in Venice
for a time and on his return to Milan
fell under the influence of Leonardo
da Vinci and was sent by the latter
to complete some of the formers work
for Cardinal d'Amboise. His work
was SO like that of da vlnci, both In
drawing and coloring, that 1t is some
times difficult to tell 1t apart. Ecce
Homo, his masterpiece, was painted
in 1515, shortly before his death.

1t seems fitting that at Easter time
one's thoughts should turn to the art
galleries which contain the famous
paintings portraylng the crucifixion
and resurrection of our Savior. For
generations most of them have hung
npon the walls of museums of Eu-
rope and have been an inspiration
not only to lovers of art, but to all
Christians as well who have studied
and admired the conception of the
artist and the manner in which. that
conception has been portrayed on the
canvas.
RUBENS.
One of the worlds most noted
paintings showing Christ on the Cross
Is by Peter Paul Rubens 1t has but
the one figure-the dying Christ,
hanging on the cross. The back
ground is dark, the sky being almost
black, which brings out more fully the
real beauty and richness of the work.
The head of Christ has fallen against
the right arm and peaceful ex-
preston is on the face, showing that
the agony has passed. The body
has sagged and the muscles of the
arms are prominent. Blood trickles
from the nail holes in the hands md
feet, while that from the wound in the
side has dripped on the loin cloth,
which Is draped in graceful fashion.
The figure Is well drawn, being a
perfectly natural form of tall slen-
der man of the age of Christ at the
time of His crucifixion.
Rubens painted many pictures o.
the Christ, but this one Is by far the
most striking and beautiful. He was
the chief master of the Flemish school
of painting, and was one of the most
versatile artists of all times. Be
ginning the study of art early in
life he worked under many famous
painters, particularly in Venice and
Rome. He wds man of scholarly
attainments, speaking six languages,
and was intimately acquainted with
nearly every ruler In Europe, the ma
jority of whom gave him commits
slons for pictures. He died at Ant
werp in 1640.
DURER.
Another great canvas showing
Christ on the Cross is the work of
Albrecht Durer, and like the one of
Rubens shows only the figure of the
Savior. The background is an almost
inky cloud with the fading sunset
sky near one foot of the cross, and
a few trees standing in the fore
ground. The figure is stretched on
the cross and there is no wound in
the side, the only blood showing be-
ing few drops on the right hand.
The body has sagged slightly and
the loin cloth fiutters in the wind.
The crown of thorns is pressed down
on the head, the sweet sad face is up-
raised, the eyes are turned toward
heaven In the agony. and the mouth
slightly opened as If He were In the
act Of speaking. The real beauty of
