come away with a hearse full Of

REVIEWS OF THE WEEKS LOCAL PLAYBIIL1S
'PinktGods' Has
Effective Theme

TOOD acting and an unusual
l. story, knit together in well

pressed by fine photography are
the most noteworthy features of
the picture, Pink Gods" at the

the story, Pink Gods and Blue

interest of this unusual setting
probably constitutes the chief ep-
peal of the picture.
A young woman obsessed with n
strange mania for diamonds fur
nishes the basis idea for the play.
This appears a bit extreme, and
even ridiculous, to some, but keeps
within the bounds of probability.

some person who might take ad
vantage of her weakness. Quelch
falls in love with Lady Cook. In
an effort to cure Mrs. Temple Of
her unusual malady, Quelch puts
her to a test, which Lady Cook re-
sents. A misunderstanding results
between Mrs. Temple and her hus-
band which complicates matters
still further. The action of the
story leads to an exciting situation
in the diamond kings Under

play to a sudden and effective eli

The story is Of a complex m.
ture. and is a fitting vehicle for
the three principal players, Bebe
Daniels. James Kirkwood. and An

Care has been shown In the dl-
recting of the picture. and in the

though the teacher understood his

Isn't there food for thought In that
remarkf OF course we are not to al

there. but when children are not TOO

them chance to thresh out the mat

from their elders?
There are undoubtedly many times
when the grown-up must use his 1uog-

moral, well-being Of the child, but still
I plead that we first give children a
chance to settle their own disputes.

chair that Clifton, aged five and

work. When Clifton had realized
what had happened, tug Of war be-
gan, and the two children were soon
joined by others, most Of them to AID
little Tim.
The kindergarten teacher stopped
what she was doing and gave her at
tention to the group and. although
she might have stepped over and put
an end to the struggle. she only stood
by and watched.
II looked as though the trouble
would never end, and as though some
one might be hurt, but still she did
not interfere; she only looked on,
ready, however. to take hand IL II
became necessary.
At last one Of the older boys was
called to help. He studied the situa.
ton, observed that the fuss was over
an oak chair, and that there was one
more oak chair In the room; he solved
the problem by offering the vacant
chair to little Tim, and all was settled
to every ones satisfaction. The teach
er heaved sigh of relief, and gave o
smile OF approval; it was step 10

worth while.
