Dull was Borzage's assistant.
Secrets" the First National pic
ture starring Norma Talmadge, is
her greatest picture. In this Joseph
M. Schenck production Norma plays
four roles, that of girl, young
mother, middle-aged matron and
an aged woman.
The picture is cast in four periods,
1923, 1888, 1870 and 1865, and the
action takes place both in the far
West and in modern society settings.
In all four periods Norma displays a
remarkable range Of characterize
ton.
Once in a while there is written
fiction that proves it is unnecessary
to go far afield or into those un-
usual stratas of human exoticism to
find a story of surprising interest.
Such story is ''The Signal Tower"
which earned considerable mention
for its author, Wadsworth Camp.
Universal made the story into a Sup
er-Jewel production, starring Vir-
GINA Valli, directed by Charles L.
Brown. The screen story will be told
at the Caughren Tuesday and We'd
nesday of next week. Wallace Berry
and Rockliffe Fellowes are in the cast.

CLAWS OR FINGERS.


Will you please allow me a little
space in your valuable paper to ex-
press some of my views on very i'm
portant matter? In this article I
wish to say a little about the origin
of man. l know that some say it
does not make any difference how the
human race started, and at the same
time some are rather free to teach the
young their theory Of mans origin.
Now, if it does not make any diff
ference how man came into being,
does it not seem rather strange that
the great God of this universe would
give to Moses a detailed account of
mans origin and have him write it in
a book.
Now, I think I am fair in my de-
mands that those who reject this
Bible account should in all fair play
produce some other account written
by some one about the same time,
which would give us plain state
ment of how man was started.
Of course, l know I am asking
them to do an impossible thing, for
their theory is that man evolved from
a lower species Of animal, and that
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1924-11-06

lower species did not know how to
write. They also say that our ancest-
ors had paws and claws, and that the
claws grew long like fingers, as they
were used like humans use them.
Now, dear sir, l think am asking
fair question when | ask them to
tell us how it came that part of the
monkey family were educated to use
their claws so that they grew like
fingers? Was it because the mon
keys refused to pay taxes, and there
fore they could only have monkey
schools in certain localities, or was it
because monkey professors We're
scarce?
l also think l am fair when / ask
them to give the name of the first
monkey professor and where he got
his education. Yes, am quite ready
to give both men and monkeys credit
for all they have done on the earth,
air or sea. But, of course, we all
have our limitations. Now, as men
have failed to find the secret OF life,
and are powerless to produce it only
in Gods way, they should come to US
older men with their theories OF claws
and paws, and not take hard earned
taxes to poison the innocent child
mind of our land.
Now, I defy all the learned of all
the world to bring back to life one cat
that has been dead for "a hours.
Now, reader, is it not fair, when
there was no one present but God
himself, to take his testimony rath-
er than the theory of some man who
cannot prove his theory at all.
Now, Gods account of the origin is
that he formed man out of the dust
of the ground, but now stop and
think, man was formed, but he was
dead, and it took the breath of God
to make him live. But you see if man
came from a lower animal he had life
before he became a man. God only
can give life. Man can take it but
he cannot give it.
Yours for the truth, but l demand
proof. Thanking you Mr.. Editor.
Yours sincerely,
John ]. Parish.

IN THE MOVIE WORLD

Norma Talmadge's stage at the
United Studios during the filming of
"Secrets," which will be shown at the
Caughren Thursday, Friday and Sat-
urday of this week looked as if doz-
ems of pages from Harper's Weekly
of 1865 had suddenly come to life.
Actresses in billowing crimolines,
actors in short braided coats, huge
stocks and ear-tickling collars
weaved about in the mazes of mid
Victorian sets while little girls in
lace-trimmed pantaletts and short
curls gave added color to the scene.
It is a story of London and the
American far West in the days just
following the Civil War. The gowns
and settings, provided respectively by
Clare West and Art Director Stephen
Gooson, are gorgeously colorful.
Eugene O'Brien is Norma's lead
ing man in the new picture, while
Directors Frank Borzage has as his
cameraman the veteran Gaetano Gau-
dio, who has photographed Norma in
all her recent photoplays. Bunny
