TAKES CHARGE OF
 EMPIRES DESTINY
Sell Made Men Have Ceased to
 Have Their Say in Britain

London, Dec. 29. - sclf-made men have ceased to have any say in the British cabinet. The old order has been brought back by Stanley Baldwin, the new premier, and brought back strong. All but two Of the 1J men m his cabinet'are college bred, and these two attend ed public schools, which are peculiarly private institutions in this country, frequented largely by The sons Of people Of means or cul- ture or both, The new Conserya- tive cabinet is rich in names long associated with positions of promi- ncnce in British life.
 The tide of opportunity for those born in the lower classes to rise to political power and fame that seemed to run strong when, only ten months ago, Ramsay MacD0n- aid as premier surrounded himself with colleagues who were ex- miners, ex-ongine drivers, cX-of- ice hoys and mill workers and clerks, has dropped to the ebb of the days of old. No one in MT Baldwins new cabinet ever pol ishcd up the handle of the big tront-door.'
 Ten Of the 19 names Mir. Bald" win presented to the king as his ministers are OXlorl products. Four can look back to happy days in the halls of Cambridge Or tho rcnlain- ing five, all had the advantages of public school training. Mr. Church. ill, upon leaving the ancient hill whrro Harrow turns out young gentlemen, betool himself to Sand hurst, the West Point of England. Neville Chamberlain, lili" his brother Austen, went to Rugby but unlike Austen lid not go on 70 Cambridge. He finished up at Ma son college Sir Douglas Hogg, the attorney general, iS an Eton prod- urt, and Sir W. Joynsou-Il Hicks, homo secretary vas educated at tho Merchant Tnylors school, of which Carlyle was d distinguished son. Sir l.. Worthngton-EN ENans war secretary, attended Eastbourne collage,

Choosing a Pencil.

Can character be read from the
type of pencil one uses?" asks Pop
ular Mechanics. According to one
expert, the answer is yes. Men are
usually attracted by the lead and
women by the outside coloring, he
says. Persons of strong character
know just what they want and will
not be satisfied with anything else in
buying, while weak characters adjust
themselves to the first pencil offered
them. Con people, who are
used to certain pencils, demand what
they have always had. Cautious folk
wish to try out pencil extensively
before purchasing it. Freak pencils
are aid to be much in demand

RUSS CHURCH ROW
DEVELOPS new PHASE
Leader of Revolving Priests An
nounces Return to Coalition With
Patriarch He Deserted.
TIKH0N SHOWS STRENGTH
People Regard Him as Chief Suf-
fering Martyrdom.
BY r, A. MACKENZIE.

By radio to The Star and the Chicago Daily
News. Copyright, 1924.
MOSCOW, June 13.-The Russian
Church struggle now is reaching
another stage. Krasnizky, leader of
the revolving priests, who seized the
machinery of the church from the
patriarch Tikhon. quarreled last year
with his colleagues. He recently de-
clared that his group was joining &
forces with the patriarch.
The news caused deep resentment
among the patriarch's followers. Tik-
hon has been flooded with petitions
not to associate himself with kras-
Milky. Yedvokim. metropolitan of
Odessa. who governs the church
through the holy synod. declares the
latter is inspired by personal ambi-
tion, of which he has sufficient for a
thousand, men.
Tikhon~ says little except that if
wanderers return pentently to the
church he cannot refuse to readmit
them. The holy synod this week sum-
moned metropoltans, archbishops
and delegates from all Russia for IA
church council in Moscow and for a
dramatic demonstration of the
church's strength.
Revelation of Tikhon's Strength.
The outstanding feature of the sit
uation is the revelation of Tfkhon's
strength. Church folk generally re-
gard him as a martyr. Leaders like
Nedensky continue to denounce him
in the most bitter language. but even
in the council there is a strong move
ment in his favor. Papers are being
circulated from hand to hand, sug-
geSting that he be invited before the
council and conciliation arranged.
Official influence, however, does not
favor this plan. Many priests have
been forced to accede to the synod )
rule. but their congregations refuse
to follow them, and almost every
where whole cathedrals and churches
under the synod are empty, while
Tikhonite churches are packed.
1edyok1m has announced that
Iarion formerly the patriarch'S chief
adviser. now confined in Solvetsky
monastery, has agreed to obey the
synod and would shortly be released.
He added that in almost every case
where exiled and imprisoned priests
had written him, acknowledging their
error and promising obedience, he had
been able to secure their release.
Patriarch in Small Quarters.
The council invited the correspond
ent to address it, but for reasons
unknown to him his acceptance was
not proce eded with. The writer re-
Gently had a long talk with Tikhon
in his minute apartment atop the
gateway of Donskoy monastery. This
apartment now has been reduced by
the front room being taken for the
home of a communist. The old man
appeared amazingly we'll cheerful
and unruffied. The churches now
have made simple provision for him.
He is unable, however, to afford many
conveniences, even a horse. He talked
much of America and asked news of
the development of the Greek church
there.
Tikhon wanted to know if reports
reaching Russia that American col
leges intend inviting displaced Rus

sian students to complete their
courses there, were correct. He beg
ged American help for them.
Anti-Relfgionists Active.
The anti-religious campaign recent
ly has assumed a new aspect. A fresh
presentation of Faust" shown in the
great theater of MOSCOW ranks as a
spectacle most splendid. Scene after
scene is given an anti-religious twist.
One shows loathsome looking monks
sitting under a cross with loose wom-
en- on their knees, drinking heavily.
Another shows monks fighting greed
lily for the money bags after the col
lection. The scene in which Satan
retreats baffied before upraised
crosses made by soldiers from sword
hilts, is changed now. When Satan
advances. the men with the crosses
retreat, Satan finally turning away

ROYAL

Tom Mix, the most popular Of all
western stars, will be the Royal at
traction this week in ''Do and Dare"
This new screenplay, which Is
from the pen of Marion Brooks and
which was directed by Edward Sedg-
wick, casts the vigorous hero in three
distinct roles-first, as the valorous
and peril-defying scout Of the western
plains who rescues the beautiful daugh-
ter Of the commandant of a desolate
frontier fort from a hostile Indian
tribe and then saves the post from the
onslaughts Of the savages; second, as
the guileless and passive youth who
neither knows of nor seeks adventure
in his provincial shell, but who is sud-
denly fired by the desire for romance
when he hears the lurid tales of his
famous forbear and third, as the brave
and resolute participant in South
American revolution, whose daring
deeds win for him the woman he
loves and the command of a nations
military forces.
Those who are familiar with the
varied talents Of this dynamic actor
can easily picture the grace and dash
wherewith he conducts himself in the
numerous scenes of this photoplay.
To say it is Tom at his best is an
old description but true nevertheless.
Neck and Neck" is the title of the
accompanying comedy. Sunshine and
Ice" and 'The Crystal Ascension" are
two unusual short subjects on the
Royal program.

RIALTO

Fighting and drinking scenes have
been used by directors in producing
pictures ever since the industry was
in its infancy to lend action to the
plot but in Loves Whirlpool" now
showing at the Rialto Theater, we
find a picture replete with action in
which there is neither fisticuffs nor
whiskey.
1t is probable that the director in
producing Loves Whirlpool" felt that
with three stars of such magnitude as
Lila Lee, Madge -ellamy and James
Kirkwood, it was unnecessary to re-
sort to the more crude methods to
hold the attention of audiences.
Loves Whirlpool" is taken from
Martha Loves novel, "The Inner
Sight" a story that treated considera-
bly, with spiritualism. The dramatic
fervor naturally consequent to a theme
of this kind keeps the mind ever on
the alert, and the director has sue
ceeded in building a continuous stretch
Of incidents that makes the plot grow
stronger as the reel unfolds.
1t is primarily story of the I'M
derworld, and a safe robbery, a ship
wreck, a clever escape from prison,
clairvoyants parlor. with all the
trimmings necessary to impress the be-
lever in spirits, a raid by the police
department. a dash for freedom, n
wierd mystery of occult forces all
tend to add to the entertainment value
of this film.

MAJESTIC.

The one and only Eva Tanguay
headlines the Majestic vaudeville bill
which opens Sunday and runs through
Thursday night. Known in the whole
United States as the dynamic force of
vaudeville. she has been likened TO
the torrential tide that losses madly
over the teeming cataract and refuses
to be stopped. Possibly no one woman
with the exception of Sarah Bern
hardt has lived and acted in such de-
cided favor of public for as many
theatrical years as has Eva Tanguay.
And stranger still is the fact that the
vaudeville star OF today is as much
sought by theatrical managers as ever.
Booked % weeks without rest is Eva
Ianguay's recOrd-this years and the
many years ahead of this.
Critics in Dallas and Houston, the
only two Texas cities in which she
has played thus far are agreed that
perhaps there are hundreds of vaude-
Williams who can sing and dance bet
ter than the famed Eva. but all agree
none can put over their numbers as
does the girl that made II Don't
Care" famous throughout the theatri-
cal world.
One critic said: ave don't sup
pose anyone ever thought Tanguay
could sing or dance. She didn't think
so herself. But when she comes out
on the stage and starts doing her
stuff you'll like her immensely. She's
not heavy on routine in her dancing
numbers but she's sincere in her work
and every jump and every hop is check
fuu OF personality and that's what

The theater-goer Of today is a dis

rector to whose lot it falls to handle

Harold Bell Wright's "When a Mans
Man." now showing at the Palace.
Staggering sums Of money are spent
each year by the various producing
companies in an effort to duplicate
the locale of stories that are chosen
for filming. Discrepancies in "atmo-

audience, often resulting in very un-
favorable comment being passed en-

and directors. 1t was for this reason,
as well as 10 satisfy the insistent de-
mands of Mr.. Wright, that the First

1t was at the Cross Triangle ranch
some % miles from Prescott in the
Williamson Valley that Harold Bell
Wright conceived the story of the
Honorable Patches" and many of
the characters of the book are still
living in the valley. The dean of the
story and his wife. Stella, are still
living at the Cross Triangle and they
greeted the movie folk with hearty
hospitality. The ranch folk took much
pride in the production Of "their"
story and co-ope ,ated with Director
Edward Cline in every way, furnish
