Says Public Responsible
for Vulgar Plays, Films

Louis Anspacher, dramatist ana
lecturer, places the responsibility
for the class of drama produced in
theatcrs and in moving picture
houses directly upon the public.
''The public creates bad art by pa
tronizing itn he says; 'The people
vote at the box office for the kind
Of plays they want, and il is the
kind Of plays that are best support
ed that are produced. -
At recent meeting of the River
side Woman s Club, DR.. Anspacher
made the statements quoted, scoring
the vulgar plays which draw such
big boz receipts that they are
played again and again.
The noted lecturer and play
wright believes that much of the
history of a country may be best
learned through the drama. He
says that very few people really
think, but every one feels, and it
is the drama, the first and oldest
of the arts, which has quickened
the public pulse.
''Treaties and arguments were
written on the abolition of human
slavery without firing the magma
tion of the people, but the over-sen-
timentalizeI drama, Uncle Tom 8
Cabin touched the hearts and
slavery was ended.
Ibsen s "Doll House, and its
profound affect ON the position of
women III the business world,
Shakespeare's plays and their his
torical background, and other
dramas which have had Il marked
affect on human conduct, were
mentioned by the speaker, the
thought being driven home again
and again that the public fixes the
quality of the drama by its patron
age.
Better moving pictures are being
striven for by the federated clubs.
If DR.. Anspacher is correct, the key
to the situation is in the hands of
the public to a large extent, to be
used in the creation Of sentiment
for clean pictures and plays and for
the effective condemnation of those
that are Objectionable at the box
office.
The Ten Thousand Club has had
an active committee on better pic
lures and is fortunate in having
producer who co-operates to the
very best of his ability.

less and unbusiness-like r |
thrifty people look carefully after
all obligations due them and see
that their money is re-invested so
as to earn something for them all
the time. That is what the Govern
ment Savings System is trying to
impress upon the people. Instead of
boarding money set it to work earn
ing return and keep it at work.
The people who are holding their
War Savings securities are boarding
their money, just as if it were SO
much cash. And it has the same i'll
effect as boarding cash because the
government holds money in reserve
to redeem these outstanding certifi-
Gates. All thos goes to emphasize
the fact that constant campaign
of education on money matters Is
needed in this country

erous to dogs-mongrel or pedigreed
or mere curiosity never will be

Soldiers on watch at the tomb of
President Harding were there by
orders. People passed by in hushed
respect But it was a small fox
terrier pup which early today kept
vigil Of his own account at the tomb
where the President sleeps.
The dog would have been there
still. perhaps, but unthinking guards
coming on duty this morning, seeing
tho dog at tho entrance to the tomb
of that lo' er of dogs, routed him
from slumber and chased him away.
Soldiers In Win Search.
Guards that had kept the watch
during the night, learning that their
successors had disturbed the faith
full friend of the dead. informed them
of the circumstances of the vigil
Immediately the twenty-six soldiers
assigned to guard the vault took up
the search for the terrier to bring
him back to his station, but in vain
AS news spread over Marion others
took up the search also, but the dog
had vanished
1t was learned today that the dog
