Palace -"Revelation." &"

Two favorites of the movie fans
head the cast of the picture at Loew's
Palace this week. Viola Dana and
Monte Blue, who have shared honors
in a number of pictures recently, are
seen in Revelation" a screen YER
sion of Mabel Wagnell's story, "The
Rosebush of a Thousand Years."
which is based on a legend of me-
Gieval France concerning the planting
of a rosebush by monk in the court
yard of a monastery.
In spite of the most careful atten-
tion the bush had never bloomed, and
the monk believed that this was due
to the sins of his youth. One day in
prayer, however. beside the bush he
saw a vision of the Madonna. after
which the r>ses budded and bloomed
luxuriently.
Joline Hofer, an unfortunate French
girl, is turned from her home by a
wrathful father when she returns
with a baby. After placing the little
one in the care of the he nuns; nuns, she she
of Paris, and finally becomes the
toast of the Montmartre. She meets
there a struggling young artist, with
whom she falls in love. She becomes
his model and in other ways helps
him until he achieves success Then
he is commissioned to paint The
Rosebush of a Thousand Years" Her
experiences in the quiet, seclusion OF
the peaceful garden, and the influence
they bring to bear on her form the
theme of the story.
Even Miss Dana's friends must ad-
init that her efforts to depict the
Apache type are not a glowing sue
cess when compared with Pola Negr1,
who does that sort of thing so we'll,
and even Gloria Swanson, who has
been more or less successful with
these characterizations. Others in the
cast include Lew Cody, his usual
suave, sleek self: demure and gentle
Marjorie Daw, and Ethel Wales, who
is seen only for short space Of a
reel-far too short Some of the
scenes are beautifully photographed.
George Baker has done rather well
with the material he had to work
with.
News reels, cartoons and very good
orchestral music complete the bill.

A'MUSE EMENTS

Of Sinclair Lewis novel, featured on
the inaugural program of the 1924-25
season at the Rialto Theater this
week, that strikes a sympathetic
chord of experience in his or her own
life.
"Babbitt" is thoroughly American.
All the homely humor of Mr.. Lewis
book is carefully transferred to the
teriZations. The story may not por-
tray American life as We, as ma
tion, would like to have it portrayed
for the edification of foreign audi
ences, but it certainly does hold UP to
the mirror a phase of average middle
class life in this country, showing
both the admirable and the less at
tractive features of home life i'm
partially
Willard Louis makes Babbitt a very
real and human person The subtle,
complicated machinery of this mid
dle-aged hero's mental and emotional
life are pictured with as unerring
artistry as are his physical reactions.
motivated by these qualities. Mr..
Louis characterization is one of the
lean hero that will be remembered as
a definite screen personality. The
motion picture industry and art are
still so young that great character1-
cations which have stamped them
slves upon the minds of an audience
may be counted quickly. In historical
pictures and foreign productions
there have been such dominant char
acterizations, but few. if any, of typi-
cal American modern life. Babbitt
is one of these.
Mary Alden plays Mrs. Babbitt with
her usual sympathetic artistry in the
mother part, for which she has be-
come noted. Carmel Myers is beauti-
full to look upon in a very simple
version of vampire. Gertrude Ohm
stead is consistent in a. flapper role
and the others in the cast are ade-
quate.
The story tells the pathetic strug-
giles of a ''grown-up boy" to capture
romance in middle age and live
enchanted hours away from the prac-
tical and rather sordid pettiness of
his quarreling children. his patient
and only too faithful wife. He enjoys
the sensations of ruling his little real
estate Office force and is simple
minded enough and sufficiently soul
hungry for beauty to be blissfully
unconscious of the scheming shallow
ness of the woman who typlfeS the
beauty Of Springtime to him. One is
inclined to wish that he had really
gone with this woman and gotten
his illusions finally shattered, so poor
a fool does she make of Babbitt, yet
possibly Mr.. Lewis was wise in leav-
ing the hero with his dreams and
picture.
One of the funniest Of the delight.
full child comedies offered by Hal
Roach's 'Our Gang" entitled Com
mencement Day. is fitting compile
ment to the feature picture. The
news reel and musical selections
complete a fine photoplay program.

Civil Liberties Union Alleges Fraud
in Soviet Deportations.

Russian communists, who cannot
legally be deported to soviet Russia
in the absence of diplomatic rela-
tions," are being deported by the De-
partment of Labor through the use of
fake passports, the American Civil
Liberties Union charged in a protest
filed yesterday with Secretary of
Labor Davis.
The Labor Department. it charged,
has been obtaining the passports
from "a so-talled Ukrainian diplo-
matte mission, an agency not recog-
nized either by the United States or
by the Ukrainian government" head
ed by an unfrocked Ukrainian priest.
Alien radicals, it is also contended,
have been deported by the same
method to Switzerland, Rumania and
Austria, the passports, it is asserted,
being 80 worthless that aliens de-
ported with them are returned to the
United States" then being set at
liberty under-bond.
Inspector Russell of the Labor De-
partment, the protest asserts, has re-
fused at the request Of the union to
discontinue the use of the passports.

PARIS. July 2S.-Jarvis Wood, presi-

adelphia, was the leading figure in a
reception given to the visiting Ameri-

He paid tribute to the notable role

YOUR BONUS
Questions That Bother You
Will Be Answered in
This Column.
Address: Room 722, News De-
partment, The Evening Star,
Washington, ID. c.

Q. am a deserter- I enlisted in
the Navy in 1908 and was honorably
discharged at the end of four years.
Then 1 re-enlisted and after two years
deserted. When the World War broke
out and this country entered 1T, I en-
listed in the Army and was honorably
discharged. Am 1 entitled to the bo-
nus and do I dare make application
for it?-M. H. r.
A. You are entitled to the bonus on
account of the service you rendered
during the World War You were
separated from the service under hon
orable conditions. / cannot promise
what the departments will do, but
do not believe that the War or Navy
Department will disturb you in any
way upon receipt of your application
for the bonus.
Q. Can you assist me in securing a
copy of my discharge which I have
lost? How can l get my Army serial
number for use on the application
blank for the bonus?-V. P. F.
A. You do not need a copy Of your
discharge to file a claim for the bonus,
neither do you have to have your
Army serial number. The War De-
partment is receiving thousands of
requests like yours. Eventually these
requests may be answered. But such
requests only serve to delay action
upon valid applications. There are
100000 other people making appli-
cation for the bonus, so follow direc-
tions. fill in your blank from memory
and do not write the War Department.
@. The law prohibits the payment
Of the bonus to commissioned officers
of the Regular services; does this bar
an officer who served under a provi-
sional appointment? Is naval serv-
ice on vessel attached to a naval
duty considered as overseas serv-
ice" S.
A. Your first question is not quite
clear, but it is doubtful If you are
entitled to any credit for service
rendered while serving with pro-
visional appointment. If you re-
tanned your status as an enlisted man
you might be entitled to some credit
on account of the service you rem
dered under the provisional appoint
ment. Service on vessel performing
coastwise duty will be counted by the
Navy as service afloat," and your
credit per day of such service is s1.e5
up to maximum OF $625. am un-
contained in your letter. The point
you raise is one upon which the two
departments of the Government re-
ceiving applications for the bonus
have not yet been able to agree upon
1t may be that the point will not be
definitely settled for several weeks.
It will not arise in a great number of
cases, and the delay will in no way
retard the work of the departments.
O. Will the fact that enlisted in
the Naval Reserve Forces before
April 8, 1917. have any effect upon my
rights to adjusted compensation
r. S. NJ.
A. The fact that you were In the
service at the time this country en-
tered the wac will not affect your
rights to adjusted compensation; in
fact, you are better off than most,
for your credit begins on the day
the war began.

Against the Prohibition Amendment. Z
In a statement made public today
Mr.. Stayton said: I'VE have claimed
before and we claim again that the
campaign for prohibition was gener-
ously financed by certain large and
unscrupulous employers of labor
principally because it gave them an
opportunity to tighten their grasp
upon their employees and to grind
