 THIS WEEK-GALAX
Special Engagement of Pic- ture That Has Thrilled
 Thousands

Way Down East" the picture which has gripped and thrilled mill lions, listed as one of the supreme achievements of D. W. Griffith, the master of screen art, will play q special engagement of one week only, beginning tomorrow at the Galax theatre.
 One of the finest casts ever as- sembled portray the varied role or this picturization of the one most famous of American plays. Lillian Gish, Richard Barthlemess, Creighton Hale. Mary Hay. Kate Bruce. Flor ence Short and Vivia Ogden are but a few of the we'll known players in the cast.
 In Way Down East" the master of the silent drama has excelled himself Griffith has taken this simple story of plain people and infused into it the charm of New England home steads with their quaint surround ings. dreamy perspectives of enchant- ing roadways. meadows and hills; old fashioned sleighing parties. barn dances and bucolic humors in man. ner which creates new art form. It is a tale of the love that conquers all things but which is retarded for the time being by gossip and thrill ing adventures prompted by the stern dictates of a simple people who have but one code of honor.

During my life have l often thanked the Giver of every good and perfect gift for that opportunity so early furnished me, so consistently continued and culminat- ing in q correct taste, a sufficient knowledge to know and to love ardently the melodies and the har- monies of the heavenly made, music. Many a delightful hour have this Knowledge and taste given me, many a sad hour dispelled, many noble thought and aspiration compelled, many q sigh of pity for those unfor- tunates who, deprived of musical train ing. are blind and deaf to the sur passing tonal literature of music and to whom the works of the worlds masters are sealed books. The study of music, vocal and instrumental, should be encouraged not only for it's own sake but especially for the new vision it will bring to various other studies and particularly to that of literature.
 The same may be said. in great measure, of the study of art. The works of the different schools of art

Women Contentious VIII Make Washington Regular
 Fashion Parade at Easter

This has something to do with duty and shipping problems that are not clear in my mind.
 The Womans International League for Peace and Freedom headed by Jane Addams of Hull House, Chicago, and the world in general will meet in Washington soon, which reminds me that there is at lease one sub ject upon which women are not split into factions, and that is upon the subject of peace. All women's or ganizations are cooperating in the National Council for the Limitation of Armament, winch maintained headquarters in Washington all during the arms conference and is still doing business there. In this association the lion and the lamb among women have lain down to- gether, such as the League of Women Voters and national woman's party, hereditary enemies of suffrage days All has gone most peacefully in peace society.

 Coming to the very vital question of books for the young, 1 am tempted to suggest the books that were the delight of my own juvenile days. l do not remember that any special oversight was exercised over my boy hood course of reading. If any, 1t was not painfully evident and this showed wisdom on the part of my preceFtors. The right kind of books were handy and l just naturally founnd them. Moreover, we had Tn

"A Virgin Paradise is story of the jungle and of civilized hypocrisy, written for the screen by Hiram Percy Maxim, the famous inventor of the Maxim silencer and other de- vices. The action shifts from pala- tial country place on Long Island New York, to @ lonely isle in the South Seas, where q Vocano destroys the entire population with the excep- tion of the infant heiress to S10000,- 900 and her native nurse.
 The child grows to young woman hood in half savage state and then is transported to the Long Island home. She is amazed by the con- trasts between it and the wild life of her former home, but later on she begins drawing contracts not alto- gether favorable to the new environ ment. She resents the attentions of a man who seeks to marry her for her

fortune, and repels them with all the vigor and fury of her half savage nature. The taste in dress which she develops, with all the resources of wealth at her disposal, is astonish- ing, and shocking to her Long Island relatives. Before a truly tanning in- fluence is finally exerted over her, she has shattered the nerves of the house hold and practically wrecked the es- tate.
 As story of human passion and emotion "A Virgin Paradise" is in- tense. As a spectacle it is tremen- dous, both in the tropic scenes, the devastation of the island in a vol canic eruption and the life of the girl with Hons, apes and other wild ami mals as her only companions, and in the wild scenes on the Long Island es- tate. The production of this spec tacular special was directed by J. Searle Dawley

work appeals most strongly to my iking?" Father Kerrigan repeat ed my question. Literature, without doubt This penchant was derived from mother who had a nice taste, who read well and who took time enough from her household duties to read from the best English authors for her child ren what she thought was suited to their budding minds; and she S 'ways selected well. It was helped by list ening with gusto to that same moth ers readings to my grandma of fail ing eyesight Robert Burns seemed to be the favorite author of both. My forebears were from the north Of Ireland Tyrone, in fact, where burr marks the speech much akin to that of Auld Scotia; where terms of expression are very similar. Tam O'Shanter's Ride. The Cottar's SatuT- day Night and many of Burns minor poems l knew quite by heart from hearing them read aloud so often. The comments made thereon by the two. the chuckles of satisfaction elicited by some homely but telling thrust of poor Bobby, sank deep into my mind, impressed and satisfied me more than any later and supposedly more learned estimation of the Ayr shire plowman that 1 have heard or read. Moreover l acquired an under standing of the Scots dialect that means so much in getting the full flavor of Burns and of Sir Walter. that Is so often the obstacle shutting out from the reader pleasure be- yond compare. John Gilpin's Ride was another favorite, together with se- lections from Tom Moore. Longfel- low Whittier, Lowell and Bryant. Dickens and Scott received a gener- ous need of attention.
 q mention these things to empha- size my statement that the teaching of literature appeals most strongly to my liking in matters educational although I never had the pleasure of teaching it. at least directly. I would teach literature because it has been my joy and my consolation; my refuge, with prayer, when downcast; my very present help; my guide counsellor and friend. I would teach It that I might disclose to others the joy 1t can bring them. the manifold ways it can serve them. I would point out the El Dorado of the printed page and would entice to en- ter in.
 On the SuDJecL or votes TOT W OH- en" Father Kerrigan was tactfully noncommittal merely saying:
 This privilege Is far too recent to do anything more than hope for the best. Votes for women should mean great good for society if women will vote as well as they do everything else and can and will avoid the evils nullifying very often the good that should attach to votes for men. Can and will she?
 Whether or not the right to ballot will react unfavorably upon home life, rearing of children and church duties. remains to be seen. It must react to a certain extent but we need not suppose that this right will affect the duties of women any more than it does those of men
 When questioned as to what he thought of the 1axness of morals. smoking among women. immodest dress freedom of speech and other modern innovations Father Kerrigan said:

fun-loving girl, in some ways unlike the young Annie Shirley of Green Gable days yet endowed with the same eagerness the same bubbling enthusiasm, the same warmness Of heart.
 At 16, a tip-toe with romance and eager for Life's experiences, Rilla finds herself plunged into the real ities of 1914. How she faces the problems of the American girl at home in war time-with the same courage that the yourg Anne had faced the less trying problems of her young womanhood-and how she is fitted for a happiness greater than her dreams, makes the story.
 In this romance we made delightful re-acquaintances with many old friends of the authors previous books.
