When Charles Ram Kennedy
wrote his famous play, The Ser

by all critics of drama as a master
piece. and by the Iterau as a con-
tr.butiOn TO literature that would
take rank with any OF he stage
classics. When one considers the

The success Of the play at the

its production. Since that time 1t

1t was therefore naturally a fore

Henry Miller. and it Is the concen-
eus Of opinion that everyone familiar
with the play, that the screen pro-
ducuon, IL anything surpasses the
stage production, as It is not only
forcefully unfolds the authors story
In an intelligent manner, but ideally
enhances the beauty of the charac-
ters made famous by Mr.. Kennedy.

In the selection Of his cast. Mr.
Davis carefully considered each and
every members fitness for the par
ticular role involved, and so sound
was his judgment in his various Sc
lections, that in looking al the screen
presentation one Immediately feels
that there is unfolded before their
eyes, a drama of life in which they
themselves are a part This Is
true test Of art, expressed in its
highest form. and unquestionably
this wonderful screen production,
The Servant In The House" will
meet with the same longevity on
the screen as II has upon the legiti-
mate stage.

here the entire story Of the drama,
and thus perhaps take away from

BRIGHT FUTURE
FOR VAUDEVILLE
SPREDICTED
Orpheum Theater Changes to
Monday Openings to Sc

BY w. w. DUNKLE

For II consecutive sea sons the
Orpheum theater has presented fam

the patrons Of South Bend. Misha-

starts with every evidence that the
bills Will be stronger and more sat
isfactory than ever.
Starting in August and cOntin-
uing until the middle of the follow
ing June this theater has been open
daily and, for a period OF approx
imately II weeks, five and six acts,
changing twice weekly, have been
offered. From 44O TO $50 different
acts have appeared here each sea-
son. These acts represented every
thing in the way OF vaudeville offer

people. With the low average Of
six people TO an act. over 5000 in
dividual performers have appeared
each season on the Orpheum stage
and in that number many Of the
most talented and representative
players in this branch Of the theat-
rical profession have given South
Bend audiences the benefit of their
| cleverness and experience as enter
tanners.
| While the opinions as TO the con-
diions confronting the producers Of
musical comedy, operate and dra-
matte attractions the coming season
differ widely, vaudeville managers
are not optimistic. Many high class
vaudeville teams have been lured
iaway from their regular line of
work TO be featured in big cOmbina-
/ ton hOws the past season. Many Of
! these are coming back with new
acts. broader ideas and are more
valuable as entertainers. The estab-

high-class houses in 25 of the prin-
ciple cities of the country Will at

ter, because the engagement Of big
ger and more expensive production
acts by the larger house will release
smaller and less costly acts for time
on the Junior circuit.
Such vaudeville theaters as the
Majestic and Palace, in Chicago,
play eight acts at admission prices
about double that of South Bend.
Week after week. throughout the
season, an accurate check OF these

Another fact frequently brought to the atten-
ton of the student of political history is that
peoples who have obtained their liberties by the
most heroic of sacrifices have so frequently
thrown them away again in the frivolous pursuit
Of things they thought would make their liberties
still more secure and their freedom still more
free.
The story of the demOcraCeS that have failed
shows that their vigor and prosperity regularly
declined with the growth Of internal legislation
or with the forcing of obnoxious regulations upon
their citizens by the factions which successively
obtained control, until they had so weakened
themselves by internal strife that they fell to
pieces of their own weight were an easy prey

ing to the violation of fundamental principles for
the sake of some fancied immediate good which
their radical legislation was expected to accom-.
psh
The one great lesson OF all these unsuccessful
attempts at self-government is that nation
which willingly submits to the suspension of the
principles of free government for the sake of ex-
pediency, or for the accomplishment of some
quick and immediate reform will in the end al
ways come to grief. Principles that can be sus-
pended for beneicent purposes also be sus-
pended for evil purposes, and laws intended for
purely good ends also be enforced oppress-
