FRENCH SLANG IS
 OF HIGH QUALITY
English Slang Shows Little or No Improvement, Says
 Dr. Stratton
By Associated Press

Cleveland, December 31.-French slang is of higher quality than English slang. which has been im- proved but little since its invention, according to pr. Clarence Stratton. director of English in the Cleveland public schools. The French slang Is more suggestive and more pictur- esque; it's clever-which English slang often isn't, pr. Stratton said
 Take the case of George Ruth, the worlds champion home run hit ter, for instance" the director con- tinued. ITO call him Babe and then to translate Babe into Bambino- there's nothing clever in that But the man who first called left-hand- ed pitcher a southpaw had a real idea. Likewise, to say pitcher has glass arm is clever and descriptive.
 Has somebody handed you lem on? That's an ancient bit of slang. Likewise, to find yourself in an aw- full pickle. Probably both express sions originated because of the sour quality of lemons and pickles. They arc expressive and suggestive. The boy who first called a girl a peach also had real idea.
 One of two things always happens to slang. It Is discarded quickly o- 1t Is incorporated into the language three or four generations later.
 Slang originates in a desire for emphasis Seeking emphasis, we re- sort to figurative language. And figurative language at it's best be- comes figure of speech

Griffith's Triumph Of
 The Screen "Way Down
 East Strand AU Week

Way Down East" the greatest D. W. Griffith, Is going to. be pre- sented to motion picture enthusiasts at the Strand theatre all this week at popular prices. Presented here several months ago at the Jefferson at the regular theatre scale, the man agement of the Strand booked this super drama in order that motion picture fans might see it at popular prices.
 Way Down East" adapted from the famous stage success, is called Griffiths master drama, a wonder of the screen that will live through the years.
 It Is said that Way Down East" represents Mir. Griffith and his art at their heights. The film, even after the cutting and editing procedure, yet entails 12,000 feet of footage. The producer has followed closely kas original stage drama tale of Lottie Blair Parker and Joseph R. Grismer. but his elaborations occur in the vis- ualizing of big scenes and spectacu- lar incidents that in the spoken play were made known only through dia- logue. The monster production iS the most expensive that Mir. Griffith or anyone else ever made. 1t rep- resents total cost of more than $SOO,000 and should any be suffi- cintly concerned as to this feature they can secure for the asking a sworn statement from the leading auditing corporation in New York city which looked after the financial computation of the undertaking. MT. Griffith wishes 1t stated that all this
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-01-01

has nothing to do with the merits of the production as regards the audi ences who view it. He takes mora pride in the work he accomplished in elaborating upon the tender love and subsequent sufferings of Anna Moore, the wronged girl in the story. Grif- filth has struck with both hands and he brings home with telling force a lesson for men as to the need of a single standard for men and women, assails the narrowness of snug peo- pie who overlook in their Scriptural readings that which has to deal with Let he who is without sin cast the first stone," and sets forth compell- ing truths which in times gone by have been foolishly hushed.
 A foremost cast of well known players interpret the many roles. Some idea of the correctness and care exercised is to be had from the fact that Burr Mcintosh and Vivia Og- den. who appeared in the original production of the play, enact their original roles in this picture. Lillian Gish as seen as Anna Moore, and her highly artistic and intelligent work in this elaboration has been reward ed with much praise from even her heretofore most enthuiastic admirers. Richard Barthelmess, who occupies q foremost position among young actors of ability. is the hero of the story. Others in the long list of bril- liant players are Lowell sherman, Mary Hay Mrs. Morgan Belmont, Creighton Hale, Kate Bruce, Edgar Nelson, Josephine Bernard. George Neville Mrs David Landau. Porter Strong, Patricia Fruen, Florence Short. Emily F,itzroy and Myrtle Sutch.

LADIES MUST LIVE
 FEATURE AT GALAX
Betty CompSon Star in Thrill ing Drama-Produced by
 George L. Tucker

How are ladies going to find an there must be one and they tried to find it. Their adventures form the basis for Ladies Must Live" the last production of George Loane Tucker, the man who made "The Miracle Man." at the Galax Monday. Ladies Must Live is another accredited mas terpiece of this genius and it is hailed as one of the big dramas of the year. Betty Compson, more beautiful than ever, is the star.
 Ladies Must Live" was picturized from the Saturday Evening Post story by Alice Duer Miller. It is the story of the fortunes of women. of certain social circles who, being forced to live adopt certain methods of gaining their ends.
 Christine Blocker. who has been educated at the expense of William Rollins, her wealthy brother-in law, Is designed by her father, depend ent upon his son-in-law, to marry wealth so that his income might be increased. Ralph Lincourt, who is married, but living unhappily with his wife, Is chosen to be her mate when he obtains divorce.
 But there is another woman in the case. who, likewise, has set her cap for Lincourt and the two become rivals, although Christine finds him quite unlovable. Anthony Mulvain. an aviator, reputed to be wealthy, ap- pears on the scene with his mechani- clan, Michael Le Prim, modern cave man. Christine falls in love with Mulvain while Nancy, who has found Lincourt somewhat dull. finds Le Prim her ideal.
 Nell Martin, a waif employed in the kitchen. Is loved by the gardener. The butler covets her and the poor girl is bewildered. One day Le Prim forces Nancy into an automobile and drives into the hills with Mulvain and Christine In pursuit. Mulvain forces Le Prim to release the girl, who takes flight in an automobile.
 Le Prim follows in Mulvain's ma chine. leaving Christine and Mulvain miles away from home with night coming on, The night passes and the next morning Mulvain finds tele phone and notifies his friends of his whereabouts.
 Then comes highly dramatic cii- max.

INGENIOUS DEVICES INVENTED TO CONTROL
 PIL0TLESS A!RPLANES
By Associated Press

Paris, December S1.-lngenious de- vices were invented to control the operation of the pilotless aIrplane which has just been successfully tested in France. Some of these op- erated automatically and others by wireless.
 The airplane. having been started by the mechanic, ascended automat- ically after 1t had attained sufficient speed. This was accomplished by in- creasing revolutions of small fan located between the wings which put into motion mechanism which. in turn, placed the control surfaces of tho machine into position for ascent.
 Once In the air. the airplane was operated by wireless and was made to circle large flying field and de- scend.
 The descent was accom- plished by pressing a wireless key on the ground. which released underneath the airplane roll of wire with 4 weight at the end. This weight switched off the engine and moved the rear surfaces of the plane into position for smooth landing.
