THEATRE AND MOVIE
Professor Eliot of Smith College Trying
to Get Revival of Acting at
Northampton.

NORTHAMPTON. Mass, Dee. 81
Something in the nature of gentlemens
agreement between motion picture exhlb-
itors and those interested in the spoken
drama is suggested as solution OF the
community theatre problem by Samuel
4. Eliot. IT. assistant professor of Eng
lish at Smith college Mr.. Eliot is the
author of several one-act plays and was
active in the community theatre venture
of the Northampton Players, which at
tracted wide attention few years ago.
Expressing in a recent letter to the
Daily Hampshire Gazette a hope for Il
revival Of a community repert0ry COM
pany in Northampton, Mr. Eliot adj
vanced the idea that in a city Of this
size-Northampton has n population of
% 000-the amusement time of the
municipal auditorium might profitably
be divided equally between the play and
the movies
1T seems certain" he said, that the
Academy of Music Is too large or
northampton too small to support more
than one play out of 10 through as
many repetitions as the Northampton
Players used to give. Three or four
performances are enough. And the pa
irons OF the movies have their rights as
well and should, / think, be given a full
half of the time.
THE movies are highly profitable and
if the latter half of each week were reg
ularly devoted to them. they ought to
bring in enough money 10 offset possible
losses on plays acted by a permanent
company in the first half of each week.
This company would thus have the
equivalent of 10 days, not six, in which
to prepare each new prOduction-no
small advantage TO their art

HON. JOHN L. SUNBEAM SPEAKS
Well Known Lecturer Draws Big
Crowd Last Friday.

Under the auspices of the DEBORAH
chapter Of the Lutheran Brother
hood Of America, Hon. John l.. Sun
dean spoke on the subject of Luther
and the Reformation, Friday evening,
Nov. 10, in Rev. Glesne's church, the
occasion being the anniversary Of
Martin Luther's birthday Mes
DANES Bertha Mccall and Helen
Johnson and Messrs. A. f. Elickson
and w. B. Ingvolstad furnished vocal
and Mrs. JULIA Hobeck instrumental
music for the occasion with THEN
usual happy success.
From comments made by those
who heard him, the lecture was well
received. He is thoroughly in earn
est, has a good delivery and has his
subject well in hand. The lecture
was arranged in groups, summarize.
ing briefly the historical approach,
the political, the social and the reli
gious conditions of Luther's day.
The speaker emphasized the day OF
Luther as a crossing over from dark
ness TO light, from medieval TO mo-
dern history, from serfdom of the
common people to the open bible
and liberty.
After the lecture the audience ad-
journed TO the church parlors where
an informal reception was held. Mr.
Oscar Amundson orchestra furnish
| ed music while the audience enjoy
ed refreshments. Mr.. Sunbeam
spoke again at some length on ex-
periences and observations having
in them practical lessons and en-
enlargement to more zeal for the
cause of Christian expression.
The question of layman activity,
though vital, has not been solved by
our churches-"How hath this man
letters having never leaned?" is a
question asked today as it was asked
in the days of Jesus. The lecture
and programs offered by Hon. John
L. Sunbeam seem to point solution
of this question of layman's activity
within the church and we are hoping
to hear again sometime, more parti-
cularly on this subject and on etfec-
tive activities within the Lutheran
Brotherhood.

Sec. Local Lutheran Brotherhood.

In Memoriaum

In sad loving memory of our dean
beloved brother, Mr.. Howard Sher-
ven, who passed away March 4th
1922.
No one knows how much we miss
him.
Friends may think the wound has
healed,
But they little know the sorrow,
That lies in our hearts concealed.
Oft we think of our dear loved one
And our hearts are sad with pain
Oh! This, world would be a heaven
Could we hear his voice again.
But he is free from pain and trouble,
Sleeping in his quiet bed,
Waiting there till Jesus calls him
To awaken from the dead.
There our hearts look up with cour,
age,
For the Resurrection Day,
When there will be no more parting
And all tears are wiped away.

The successful candidate Smith w.
Brookhart, for United States sena-
tor, elected Nov. to succeed Ex-
Senator w. S. Kenyon, will lose but
little time in assuming the senator
ial toga. In less than a month after
his election he will have his certif-
cate of election and be on his way
TO Washington to assume his seat in
one of the highest offices in the gov
eminent.
Except for a certain checking up
process required by the Iowa law the
new senator might take on the
honors and responsibilities of his
office on Nov. 20, as it is announced
from Washington that the president
is about to call special session of
congress to convene on that date.
But the vote cast on Tuesday, Nov.
Z, will not be officially checked over
By the 10Th. The Iowa law says that
'on the twentieth day after the day
of election the board of state can
vassers shall open and examine all of
the returns"
This means that the canvass can
not start until that twentieth day has
come around, and then if all of the
counties are not in with their re-
turns there will be still further de-
lay. After starting the canvassing it
takes the state board four or FIVE
days or a week to complete the can
vasS.
1t will be remembered that Sena-
tor Rawson was appointed by Gov
ernor Kendall As United States sem
ator for the period until his sue
cessor is elected and qualified" His
successor was elected Tuesday and
he qualities as soon as the state
board of canvassers goes over the
vote and officially verifes his vote.

Rawson a possible two weeks more

Bitter Speech at Coffeyville.
CoffeyviIle, Kan. Oct. 3O.-Gover-
nor Allen waged war on the Ku Klux

speech before a large crowd in Cof-

forcement with a mask would not be
permitted in Kansas. He declared
that the Khan is un-American, cow
the constitution or a Christian people.
Criminal elements of the commun-
ity are permitted to carry on their
campaigns of terrorism under mask OF
the Khan altho many well meaning
people may be members of the organ

Chaos and hatred come out of the
Khan invasionS in a community and
