Fine Words, Queer Deeds

recognition at Washington, which
alone can enable it to meet its
financial problems, but its very
existence is being threatened by
greedy American conspirators
who dare to claim high political
support and who have not thus
far been prosecuted as such law
breakers deserve.
Latin-America does not judge
the United States by what Ameri-
can statesmen say, but by what
they do or leave undone.
Lofty language does not coun-
teract fragrant imperialism in
Haiti and San Domingo or per-
sistent refusal to grant recogni-
ton to Mexico.
Such "devotion to the interests
of peace" as we are now showing
President Obregon is, indeed, a
peculiar devotion.
Latin America so regards it
and will continue to distrust us
until we square our deeds with
our words.

The Best Use of Wealth.
THE NEW YORK GLOBE has

discovered a rich man who
. wants to put his wealth to
use, but isn't sure of the best
way. He has asked its readers
for suggestions.
They are many and various.
They include homes for the aged,
endowed hospital beds for the
poor, housing at cost, scientific
research, technical education,
health clinics, educational films,
and scores of other projects of
benevolence or uplift.
Nobody has yet suggested the
best use of all, which is for the
rich man to put his money to
work making jobs for people who
can do their own uplifting best
when they get earned incomes.

The moving picture, you will agree is given by JohI
II. Kunsky who has just built the Capitol Theater il
Detroit of the most magnificent theaers anywhere
Writing for the Detroit Times, Mr. Kunsky says:
WHAT A THEATER DOES
BY JOHN H. KUNsKY.
. Throughout history the human race worried with
its problems and it's struggles for life, has sought
relaxation, a change in the mind work that means
rest for the brain. The Greeks had their public
baths, in which they met and talked their public
squares, their famous philosophical promenades.
The fighting Romans had their great arenas, in
which men and beasts, and even ships real water,
fought to amuse the mob.
In the middle ages they had batting, their dog
fights
The Spaniards still have their bull fights.
The Americans, a nation, far removed from the
brutality of the gladatoral arena, the bull ring
find their mental rest and their mental pleasure in
the theater. And in the modern theater and its work
you find reflected the national personality, its in
terest its culture.
WHAT is THE MOVING PICTUREi
The question is not asked it once was
when doubted whether "the movies,' so called
would last.
The moving picture is SIMPLY THE SHORTEST
ROAD INTO THE HUMAN BRAIN.
1t enables the actor to display all of his Skill and
the spectator instantly all that the story has
to tell.
You can do with the moving picture all that can
be done by the living actor, and thousand times
more
If you say that the voice of the living actor is
missing from the moving picture, I will admit it.
and regret it. But 1 will answer that the absence
of the actors voice increases the activity of the spec
tators' Imagination, and the work that goes in
side the mind of the spectator is worth infinitely
more than the spoken word of any living actor.
To thought, stimulate the imagination,
transport vast audiences by magic, to all parts Of
the world, is great useful and educating work.
And that is what the moving picture does. An en-
tire week of work by living actors and Of close at
tention by spectators could not show much can
be shown by the moving picture in two short hours.
Gigantic crowds Of thousands such no stage on
earth could possibly hold are shown and brought
before the crowds in absolute reality the screen
The moving picture is the great educator, and no
say what good is done to this and to other
nations in which the moving picture with its dra-
matte story is part it were, of the daily mental

Finding the opening far too small the

At this point the driver seemed to

slowly east on Second street, disre-
