: F you had a dog which was
forever digging up the
By OICTOR NEUHAUS

TF you had dog which was
forever digging up the
l. putrid matter of the neigh
borhood and depositing this filth
on your front porch you would
have to get rid of the dog or you
would be Stunned by all your fell
lows who wanted to protect their
health and the health of their
families. The bad odor which
arises from the latest Hollywood
scandal would be of little i'm
portance and would do little
harm if it were not dished up
every day by our daily papers
at the breakfast table and at our
evening dinner.
If the unbiased were to pass
judgment whether the original
crime or its lurid reproduction in
print is the more damaging,
there would be but one answer
and the great mystery of why
the world is flooded with crime
would find an easy explanation.
The public and the authorities
and our moral and religious
mentors are always striking in
the wrong direction when they
seek to stop the production of a
picture simply because some de-
generate or deluded mind hap
pens to have appeared in it.
A wrong is never righted by
another wrong. Our public CEN
sors forget these pictures are not
the work of these so-called
''fallen" stars who really play
only a part in their production
and who, in most cases, merely
represent a type suitable for the
character portrayed.
Probably there are not more
than one-half dozen film stars
who have enough individuality
and personality to be entitled to
the veneration due a real artist.
The greatest curse of our dra-
matte art has always been the
star system. We have always
taken the shadow for the SUBJ
stance. AS Shakespeare said,
"the plays the thing" But it is
to our everlasting shame that
the authors and the producer
have received little credit while
the mere interpreter, tho en-
titled to encouragement, has
been given an undue share of
public veneration.
Why should the leading lady
who plays a sympathetic role be
considered a greater artist than
the william who, in pictures must
be repellant in his very looks and
to whom, in ordinary life, the
most charitable and most lofty
sentiments are attributed? Why
should we look down on him
while the angel face, because of
her escapades off the stage, is a
never ending source Of worry to
the director?
The time may come when the
motion picture producers will
eliminate the information as to
who plays the various parts.
This method, while limiting the
field of exploitating to the dra-
matte and artistic merits of the
production, may have the effect

REV. MCDOWELL PLEADS
CHRISTIAN ASSYRIANS
BE ADMITTED

Washington. - Reverend Mcdowell,
a former missionary in Mesopotamia,
came before the House immigration
committee yesterday to plead the
cause of the two hundred thousand
Christian Assyrians, whom he de-
clared, have been cruelty prosecuted
by the MohammedanS. He urged that
these surviving Assyrians be taken
out of the prohibited class of Asia
tics, and that special quota be insti-
tuted to permit all those Christian As
syrians who desire be permitted to en-
ter this country.
Mcdowell was interrupted by Con-

Der of the committee, who remarked
that he had lived among these Assy-
rians, but preferred to live among
rats, and he did not care if they were
all cxterminatoed, they should never
be admitted to the United States.

was clear:
Dust and SCOT, lack of exercise,
harsh, dry winds, the thousand

No one can change these con-

the clear, radiant glow of health,
there must be put back into it the
