WORLD'S-END PROPAGANDA

Gathering about her small coterle OF ad-
herents, a self-styled prophecies of near San
Diego (and Hollywood has added to history S
long list of predictions of the lend of the world,
and the coming of Christ. In silent submission
many persons disposed of their earthly posses
sions, and after contributing to the cause gath
cred on or near the foothills to await the crack OF
DOOM But doom didn't crack.
This same solemn forecast caused more or
less hysteria throughout the nation. At least one
woman committed suicide, man went into
SDaSrnS little children ran wild III the streets m
curing of their elders what it all meant, While
more enlightened and intelligent religionists
hung their heads in shame, and the rest of the
world wavered between suppressed humor and a
rather uncanny doubtfulness
This is a free country, and everyone has a
right to worship as his conscience Dictates and to
proclaim as his press agent advises. Everyone al
so has a right to believe that accurate forecasts
of divine events can be made and if he sees fit, to
try his own hand at the game. But no one has any
moral right to assume divine relationships in such
manner as will stir the misguided into property
losses and sacrifices, hysteria, suicide and insan
ity; and then accept contributions for no other
apparent purpose than as retributions This, ac-
cording to press dispatches, is exactly what was
done and what happened.
1t is time to use whatever educational meas
Ures may be necessary to stop the kind of world S
end propaganda that is pretty sure to bring none
tary reward oor undeserved publicity to its insti-
gators. Every little while someone bobs up with
his pet predictions. And many fall for it. Do they
forget or do they ignore that plain Biblical state
ment "of that day and hour knoweth no man, no,
not the angels in heaven?
AS for Christ coming, the belief is prevalent
that Christ already is here in spirit and in truth,
and that if He is not already in your heart the
fault it yours and not His That Christ may come
also in visible form is not generally denied But
unwarranted predictions that shake the faith of
adult innocence as we'll as of little children will
never foster much-needed greater respect for
religion nor bring the unsaved millions to closer
adherence to its precepts.

THE "OTHER SIDEs OF THE FRENCH DEBT

Senator Boarh wants that S4OOO,OOO,OOO
France owes to the United States. Deputy Marin,
of France, says the debt will be paid, but that
America should balance or adjust its call for gold
against the blood of France that was shed to win
the world war Each spokesman presents solid
and substantial arguments wherein dollars are
balanced against sentiment. In sense, both are
right. We had thought all the time that there
could be no dispute over the repayment of plain
loan of the staggering figures of the bill presented
to France. After reading the French view how
ever, we are reminded of the story of the defen-
dant who was represented in court by an able
lawyer. Having cleared the man of the charge
the lawyer said to him. did you really steal the
muller well sir, it was just like this" said the
man. Il really thought did steal that mule, but
after hearing your argument to the jury was
convinced that didn't"

BETTER BUSINESS

Reviews of business conditions throughout
the country are refreshing reading. Production
lis advancing, distribution of goods is on the in
crease, and prices are gaining over the low points
of last summer. Business is on an upward trend;
and to the business man, the farmer the miner
and all of us, the upward trend on business chart
is the best possible antidote for the tired-busi-

BRAzILlANS ADMIRE
AMERICAN SPEAKERS

Rio De Janerio.--A local newspaper
has published some sarcastic com
ments on public speaking in Brazil,
contrasting the lucidity and directness
of certain public speakers Of North
America to the wandering vagueness,
under similar conditions, of we'll
known Brizilians. ~
The writer says that in Brazil the
public orator, rs q rule, has no idea
OF time or progress. In order to tell
simple fact he piles up adjectvies,
brings rows Of verbs into line, cre-
ates confusion by abusing the use Of
details, metaphors and imagery.
And this not being enough, he makes
his voice quaver in order that the
phrase and the speech be heightened.

THE WEATHER


The weather is the most talked Of most
abused, most praised, most strangely deceptive
and yet the most constant and unvarying thing in
our everyday lives. The weather furnishes a
means of beginning a conversation, an excuse for
not getting up mornings, a reason for travel, an
alibi for poor business, boon to the farmer,
benefit to the consumer, difficulty for aviation,
job for government employees, and fortune for
coal and ice Dealers an opportunity for circuses
and chautauGuas, paradise for lovers, cause
for rheumtism, subject for editorials, and an
other reason for radios, closed cars and fur coats
1--WE don't have the winters we used to have"
IS familiar expression. The fact remains that
we do have the winters we used to have; and the
summers, too. The apparent difference between
now and then is psychological. When we were
children the beautiful snow impressed US more
and we Waded deeper into it; the rain beat down
harder because we were out in it more; the thun-
der clapped louder because we understood it less
and it terrified us more Beside all this, the mind
OF youth takes deep impressions, mingles them
with imagination-bu builds snow crystals in the Joy
OF life which age receives as a crusty reality But
to facts
An eminent authority says that there is pret-
ty general agreement that within historic times
changes of climate have not occurred.
In parts of the United States temperature and
rainfall records have been kept for more than one
hundred years Taking New York Cityand New
orleans as examples, he states that in a century
OF time at New York and in eighty-seven years at
New Orleans, the yearly means have not varied
more than five or six degrees although it is shown
that rainfalls show much greater variation
As in the story of the man who travelled ex-
tenslvely, but always took his climate with hin"
and never quite could find suitable one, weather
agreeableness is largely matter of acclimation
and mental attitude Much as we like to dream of

will be seated in the open air,

SHUBERT LIKES
MARION DAVIES
IN "ZANDER"

Lee Shubert, theatrical pro-
ducer, pays enthusiastic tribute
to Marion Davies in her new
screen vehicle, "Zander, The
Great" Mr.. Shubert sees in the
presentation of "Zander,- The
Great" a restoratioRN of high
class comedy to the screen. and
he declares that her perform
ance makes her the outstanding
comedienne in motion pictures.
Mr.. Shubert's comment is as fol-
lows:
From an observation Of mo-
tion pictures, which is extenied
for several years, ] have noted
that comedy has been greatly
subordinated to drama. Most Of
the screen photoplays, which
reach Broadway, are of a drama
tic and emotional character. Per.
haps this is an indication that
motion picture audiences have
found a greater enjoyment in this
class of film offerings than in
that which presents reIlicking
humor and comedy.
1t Is hard to credit this. how.
ever, because motion picture
audiences in the main are sim.
liar to audiences of the legimate
theaters in their entertainm 4nt
demands, and the entertainment
demands of the stage emphasize
comedy to the same extent as
drama.
I'm restoring comedy - high
class comedy-to the New York
screen, Miss Davies has achieved
an unusual distinction. Her per-
forr1ance of Mamie, in "Zander
The Great" is a notable piece of
work and gives her the honor of
being the outstanding comedienne
In motion pictures.

Joe K. Watson, the burlesque
comedian. has been recruited to
vaudeville temporarily and dem.
onstrates at the Earle this week
that he is not wandering in
strange fields. Supporting him
is company of real proportions
really a miniature burlesque
outfit-and if it happens, though
not likely, that the Watson hu-
mors are too heavy, you can ease
eye and ear by glimpsing the
feminine members Of his troupe.
Guy Barick, Dick Tandler and
Jane Stone have one of the pep
piest" acts which has come down
the boul1IHlrds for quite a spell,
But they close so abruptly that
the folks out in front hardly
know what it's all about before
the next acts curtain is up.
Sascha Platov and Lois Ma
talfe have a rather slow dancing
turn which is none the less
gracefully done because Of its re.
semblance to a slow-motion
movie. Piatov tells the audience
the thing dearest to a dancers
heart is singing. but that most
dancers can't sing. Whereupon
he proceeds to prove his argu-
ment by giving a song. The
tough" dance number in this
act is the best:
Fred Reynolds and Allie White
open with some violining. Fred's
clowning is a whole lot better
than his playing-he should stick
to the original makeup through
out the act.
The film feature Is Richard
Dix's "The Shock Punch about
which many nice things have
been said by critics in other
cities, and which appears to de-
serve the praise bestowed upon
It.

AS an up-and-cbming English
lady of rare quality, Miss Lane
is without flaws. Natural beauty
plus an engaging personality
that glistens with splendid aris-

Miss Lane has nothing in her
role that compares with the
erotic and effulgent past of Mr..

peaux.
OF the others, well, William
Phelps, as the son of the
American shoe king, is mighty
fine. He gets into his reading
of the role a rip-roaring, "get-
me-straight-ki splash that
gives his first act outbursts of

Dorothy Tierney, British daugh-
ter and sweetheart, is worth
