At THE ALCAZAR

Wealthy and orphaned, Lydia
Thorne is a speed maniac and con-
atantly craving for excitement. She
narrowly escapes death by speeding
into the path Of a locomotive and
skaters the gates, for which COM
plant is made against her by the
Waterman to Dan O'Bannon, the
district attorney.
O'Brannon decides to punish her
and she dares him to come to her
home that evening while she is hold
ing birthday party, and collect the
fine. He goes and arrives just as
4.ydia4s auctioning kiss to her
masculine guests.
Lydia's maid, Evans, has a child
who is seriously ill. Having no
money to treat her boy, she steals
Lydia's Jewels which are missed the
next day. O'Bannon makes an in
yestigation and suspicion fastens up
on Evans because Of her guilty man
ner. She tells O'Bannon her story
and he begs Lydia to intercede in
her behalf, and she consents to have
Evans released on probation.
Lydia neglects to go to court the
ncSb morning and Evans is sent to
prison. While speeding on the high
way Lydia is arrested by Drummond,
a motorcycle policeman. She brides
him with diamond bracelet and es-
capes. He decides to return 1t and
pursues her. Not Knowing his pur-
pose, she speeds away, The ma
chine skids and Drummond crashes
into tie machine and is killed. Lydia
is arrested for manslaguhter and
O'Bannon, who believes the girl must
be punished as the only means Of
saving her from herself, prosecutes
her vigorously. She is convicted and
sentenced to three years in prison.
Detailed to scullion work in the
prison, she finds herself under the
maid. The latter renders Lydia's life
miserable with the result that Lydia
hates O'Bannon as the author OF the
troubles.

SEEK RETURNOF
DR.. ]. A. THOMAS
Former Americas Pastor |,
Wanted Again By Columbus
Church

Americas at large win be inter
ested in the following clipping from
the Columbus papers, relative to the
retention of DR.. j. A. Thomas as
pastor of st. Luke's conGl egation
there.
REV. J. A.Thomas, for six years
pastor Of st. Luke Methodist church,
may be returned for a seventh year,
which would be unusual in the his
tory of Methodism.
Columbus Rotarians at their
weekly luncheon Thursday passed a
resolution asking that the genial min
lister be returned to Columbus, the
latter being a prominent member of
the LEGAL club. The Kiwanis club
passed a similar resolution.
The official board of St. Luke
has asked the return of DR.. Thomas
on the grounds that his work is not
completed here, his success during the
past year being remarkable, and the
program under way for the coming
year being seriously involved in the
return of that pastor, Every means
will be employed, It is said, TO get
the local pastor returned for the
seventh year"
DR.. Thomas served as pastor Of the
congregation of the First Methodist
church here for four consecutive
years, achieving a remarkable sue
cess during his residence, where he
and his family were greatly beloved
by all denominations.
He has preached here on a num-
Der of notable occasions during the
past six years, and it is hoped that
the St. Luke congregation may be
able to effect his return so that
Americas may have the pleasure of
his visits. DR.. Thomas was Rotary
representative at the Edinburgh con-
vention.

There have been changes in The
art of stage decoration since The
Merry Widow" first enchanted the
world, and the present settings by
Urban reveal the change. The three
modern sets are filled with a glamol
that makes the old ones seem COM
monplace. The second act is espe-
cially beautiful with its glowing night
sky, and the superb last act shows
the interior of MaXim's with the
Madeleine towering in the back
ground.
The closing Of this act showing
day breaking over Pahis is an achieve
ment in stage lighting. And befit-
ting most charmingly these splendid
settings are the exquisite costumes
designed especially by Miss Peggy
Hoyt. This marvellous creator of
feminie adornment has produced the
most delightful combinations of COL
or, fabric and design seen on the
stage in many years. She has truly
proven herself supreme mistress of
her art.

the first American production, has

Brings Down Efficiency
"In industry and schools the
realization has come that poor vision
means deceased efficiency" said
Henry.
1.-THE Hoover Committee on Elimi-
nation of Waste in Industry found
defective vision II of the greatest
breeders OF waste in factories.
I'm II factory. tests showed 20
per cent of the inspectors, who
passeu on newly manufactured ar
~ticlas. could not see we'll enough to
detect defects in goods they yer in
specting,
"a New England plant was the
worst example. Only 5 per cent of
the employees wore glasses, but tests
showed that a fraction over SO per
cent in addition required them. Less
than Q per cent had normal v<sion."
A count taken or pedestrians pass
ing at four different points in New
York Shaved approximately one in
every four was wearing glasses.
One i'm Three Wears "Specs'' \
THAT means permanent wearers,"
said Henri. MANY wore glasses only
for reading and working. It's impos-
sible to obtain an exact census but
l believe not more than one in every
three wears glasses.
Those figures prove people are
careless about their eyes. For tests
in factories, stores and schools
show that 1t least &C per cent need
glasses. Some mill workers are so
careless that they won't even wear
the goggles provided for them!"
"Eyesight is the most cherished of
the five senses. A greater apprecia-
ton of sight Is not necessary, but a
greater appreciation Of the impor-
lance of eye care is.
"A large majority of the human
race has defective vision that can be
cured. A lack of Knowledge Of the
prevalence of this condition and a
lack of proper eye care is RESPONSE
BILE for much suffering and ineffi-
cheney.
"The eyes Of school children
throughout the country should be
cared for.
Workers i. industries and clerks
in stores and offices should be in
formed of the importance of eye care
and of benefits of aids to vision
where required.
"There is a grave responsibility
resting on those who have charge
of children to see that their eyes are
cared for.
ut is the height CT folly to neglect
ones W sight.
Thorough examination by a COM
petent specialist alone will enable
you to, know positively whether
your eyes are free from strain"

NATIONS
Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskin

WASHINGTON, Jan. St-Tha-
art "a be the mca of ringing the
nations together in peace is the be-
lief of Michio Itow Japanese dancer
in this country.
Mr.. Itow believes that q ten year
naval holiday would be simply that
and nothing more if no attempt was
made to promote a spirit of fellow
ship between nations during the ten
fyear experiment. Art, he says. is the
international language through
which men of all nations express
themselves. Therefore, to use an.
other figure, art is the common field
on which they can best rect.
To-day the world is divided into
three parts-America, Europe and
Asia" he said, speaking in rapid
English and making eloquent ges-
lures. Europe and America have
much in common since America is
an offshoot of Europe. They under
stand each other to some extent.
But Asia is not so allied. Yet we
must have understanding. How can
East and West talk of peaceful set
tiement in Shantung and zap until
they understand each other?"
Mr.. Itow finds one reason for mis-
understanding in the different types
of culture in different parts Of the
world.
To-day we discover that there is
such a thing as a spiritual civiliza-
ton and q material civilization. We
have in the East 5000 years of art
and philosophy from a spiritual
standpoint. In western countries
there is no balance in East or West
Last is three-fourths spiritual; West
thr~ee-fourths material. Each has
something that the other lacks, and
each needs the other.
Mr.. Itow, we understand, does not
near by this that the PHILOSOPHERS
of the Orient should be transferred
to the west for our higher develop
ment. 1t is rather the Unborn seren-
lily with which the East regards the
world that the turbulent West lacks.
The Orient which for centuries made
. little progress in science and trade
is now rapidly learning from us. The
balance between the spiritual and
the material is tending to right itself
there. So far. however, the West
has scarcely given any thought to
the possibility of deriving practical
benefit from eastern culture.
Whole World Understands Dancing
Mr.. Itow regards art as the link
to bring the two sides of the world
together.
'Whether 1 dance in Moscow, Sc
Vile or Toxic, l am understood"
he says 81 speak to the people in
a language that they can read. Hate,
love, fear are expressive physiologi-
cally by more or less the same mus
cles everywhere. The difference is
mainly in degree. The Italian is
emotional. The English type is more
oppressed"
