Evidently the movies are the principal
entertainment in Indiana, aside from
politics. Presumably the citizens go to
the photoplay houses there frequently to
vary the mcnotony OF making Presi-
dents. Vice Presidents and Postmaster

from Our Leading Citizen" that George

like many that the average film fan has
seen.
As becomes n celluloid comedy laid in
a small Hoosier town. 1t is all wrapped
round With politics. The central figure
is Lazy Dan Bentley. a lawyer. who
would rather lose a case than bite on
his line. Ha wing shown his real mettle
in the war--probably because there was
little opportunity for fishing, even when
the trenches We're filed with water-he
is prodded by pretty girl he has met
In France into giving up his piscatoral
career and mingling instead with tho
queer fish in politics. Any one taking the
current course in film culture who
guesses that he runs for Congress and
overthrnws the corrupt ring that would
make him its tool is entitled TO a fine
rod and tackle, though he probably won't

Lacks Photoplay Technic.
Mr.. AIDE, who wrote several Fables"
for the films a few years back and then
retired into his shell SO far as the movies
were concerned, seemingly hasn't
learned much of the particular technic
OF photoplay writing by his earnest
study of the screen. There is a hint
of a unique theme in the man who
had his horizons brcadened by forcible
travelling during the war. so that his
paradisaical home town seems small and
mean on his return, but this is tossed
aside for the more conventional study
OF the slothful man suddenly awakened.
with an undercurrent showing how ones
business certainly does cut in on ones
fishing. There is a lack of suspense.
though the naively amusing phases may
compensate all but those who insist on
having their suspense handed to them
In big hunks.
OBVIOUSLY Thomas Meighan didn't
have much trouble ding Mr.. AIDE
10 write this original story for him.
since it seems to have been composed
by man who had his heart in the
task of giving Izaak Walton his rights
on the silver sheet at last. In fact. the
danger of the attractive fishing scenes
is that they might spur g patron to
rush out in the middle of the picture
and flee to cool sylvan dells.

Great Alone" porduced by Isado-e

Jacques Jaccard.
One might say that heresy is pro-
claimed In this picture, for 1t purports
to show how a man can be great
football hero and still be despised by
his college mates. A great load Is taken
off ones mind. however. when one finds
that the hero in this case is half
breed However memory seems to
point out that college students, where
the gridiron game Is concerned asked
first about how many yards a man
could gain and never bothered about
his antecedents. a family name being
of little help when ii came to forward
pass
But then college customs are matters
that are handled with considerable
spacious license by movie promoters,
many of whom are not hampered in
their ina gination by having gone to
college themselves. Suffice it that there
is one lovely coed who pities and trusts
hirn-na turally she compensates for an
entire student body. And when he Is
sent on an arduous secret mission into
the Alaska fur country her trust is vim
dcated. What could be fairer? Monroe
Salisbury plays the half breed with con-
siderable variety and force, and his
arms and legs stand up under the strain
of the part remarkably. 1t is the kind
of picture that will be enjoyed by those
spectators who have not acquired
mental fallen arches following heroes
over the trackless wilderness.

'NANOOK OF THE NORTH,' IS
DRAMA OF HUMAN EXISTENCE
Photoplay at Capitol, Without Spark of Love In
terest, Tells Story of the Eskimo's Constant
Struggle for Food.

AFFECT materially the styles OF summer
furs.
This Eskimo film, taken amid actual
arctic SURROUNDINGS 500 miles north of
civilization. is superior to the ordinary
travel picture in that 1t Is pervaded
with the stark drama of human exist
ence which can't be buried under noun
tain high drifts of snow. 1t illustrates
vividly the Eskimo's constant struggle
for food. which is the cosmic urge Of
the frozen north. In fascinating scenes
Ndnook, chieftain of the tribe. and his
family. are shown constantly scrambling
over the floes in quest of game, and 1t
isn't Eskimo pie to them either.
Some Humorous Touches.
OF course. there are some humorous
touches OF native children playing, but
whether they do II naturally or were so
directed Is all one. since every motion
picture. even when starting out earnest
ly to treat the great outdoors. must have
its comic relief.
The photography is almost incredibly
good and signifcant--the picture OF a
sinister figure crawling over the snow
banks 10 snare white fox stands out
in recollection-especial when II is
considered that the cameraman probably
had to sit on his hands TO warm them
after cranking for long. Whether due
to the insight of Robert J. Flaherty. or
to the arrangement of the adapters who
edited 1t for presentation. there is a
most powerful thematic feeling running
all through the picture. ending with in
spired appropriateness with scenes OF
dogs bowling in the bleak wilderness as
a storm comes on. and then dropping
off to sleep. too tired to do anything but
freeze.
1t was stated that this picture had
none of the usual Broadway so-called
sex appeal" That was wrong-one

 Present library quarters" Mr. Josselyn said, "are ridiculously made quate. There Is not single meet Ing place for clubs, conferences, classes or the various organizations whose activities make library rem dezvous desirable.
 "The condition in the executive de- partments are so crowded that much of tho work in the cataloging of books the remain and preparation Of books for circulation, and the filing of material has to be done in an un- heated stack room.
 "One of the stack rooms Is so crowded that the building inspector has prohibited the increased storage and valuable files of books and mag axines are being stored up in the tower.
 "The reference room Is so crowd cd that one often sees readers sitting on tho tables or standing while they are reading. Students often use the unheated stack room, the directors office and the halls for study.
 "The children's department is en- tirely inadequate, often 100 children being crowded into the space where 50 would be too many. And this seems the greatest reason of all, as the best of conditions should always be sought for Blrmingham's children"

Notices have been mailed u over 800 members of the Axis club calling attention to its annual meeting to- morrow at 1 o'clock at the Southern club. The program calls for de- lightful luncheon, the election of of ficers, yearly reports and 20-minute talk by Lloyd W. Josselyn, the di- rector of the Birmingham public H. brary.
 Mir. Josselyn says he will on this occasion paint three wonderful word pictures, and call on six of his B0,o0o workers to tell, each in one minute, the story of their lives"
 From the standpoint of business and of education, and of civic pride. MT. Josselyn said, new library building is q good investment and an immediate necessity. This new build ing, the crying need for 1t, and what Birmingham could do with 1t. seemed to occupy the entire thought of MT. Josselyn. He brought out the fol- lowing facts of why a modern library is community necessity. He said;
 Because 1t is & means of popular education second only to the schools. Birmingham has b7,o0o children of school age. Birmingham has 17S.270 people of library age. Popular edu- GAbtOus UT AhNhCE to distinguish 1t from formal school education, is becoming mor2 impor- daily, and the public library must be prepared to do a great part of this work.
 Because 1t is bureau of practical Information for business men and women. Hundreds of business men and women use the library to better equip themsels to carry forward their business.
 Because 1t is necessity to tech nioal and professional workers. Last week the county engineer of one of our neighboring counties spent two days working with the library's road building material. The Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad company. the Alabama Power company and many other great industries are continually looking to the library for help.
 Because it is indispensable to teachers. Almost everyone of the $50 teachers of the public school system use the library. although inadequate quarters prevent the best service.
