BEN TURPIN SCORES IN
MOVIE MAKING BURLESQUE

Surrounded by the. best comedy
class, which includes Phyllis Haver,
Dot Farley, George Cooper and
James Finlayson, Ben Turpin has
transposed to the screen some of the
best work Of his long and varied ca
reer as a comedian in Home Made
Movies" the Mack Sennett laugh
play coming to the Pastime theatre
Saturday evening.
The story tells how two small town
theatre owners decide to build up a
completely rundown business, which
condition they blame OF the picture
producers. They come to the conclu-
sion that if better pictures were to be
had they would do more business and
forthwith start out as producers
themselves, figuring they will make
pictures at least worth while.
Their efforts, besides being ex-
tremely funny, are pathetic for they
meet with as much success as would

shine chorus girl.
Beside a humorous, wholesome and
clean little story Of disillusioned as
pirants for new honors, the appear
ance of Ben Turpin and Phyllis Haver
with the well selected cast is an add
ed attraction.

whole there has been a tremendu- ous change in habits and outlook on life. Buddhism-or rather it's degener- ate phase, Lamaism-has wrought the change; and furnishes one of the most striking instances known of the power of a religion over people. The parti- cular aspect of Lamaism that has deep ly affected the Mongols is the growth of monasteries. Some estimates are to the effec: that as many as one third of all the men among the Mongols are monks, living in idleness, supported by the remainder of the population.
 "The Chinese after the Mongol dy- nasty was driven from their throne, encouraged Lamaism because the growth of mantsticism tended to re- duce the birthrate. to keep the re- mainder of the population in poverty; and to discourage war. Their plan worked so we'll that the people who TOO years ago were war-thirsty, rave-- ming scourge of the civilized world are now nation of pacificists. Even the hardy horsemen who remain are un- der the dominance of the corrupt Buddhist priests.
 Tt has been said of many peoples who live much in the saddle that they are centuars. The Mongol of today in spite of the loss of warrior-like qualities has better claim to the ti- tie than most of his competitors. The Mongol will ride 15 hours without a complaint, but bitterly resents walk. ing loo yards. So unused IS he to walking that he has a rolling gait like a sailor. He turns to his horse in many emergencies. If saddle thong break the Mongol rider pulls hairs from his horses tail and braids a strong cord to make his equipment as good as new. Mongolian horse races are grueling straightaway en- durance contests. Some of the wiry ponies have been known to run twen- ty miles without a halt.

of their energies in the direction of
practical growth and the completion
