Science fred a broadside into
the Tennessee anti-evolution
law today in the form of nine
affidavits by scientists, educa-
tors and ministers, filed with
the Rhea County Court in the
Scopes case.
The aflidavits contained IN con.

not been barred from testifying by
Judge Raulston.
That evolution in nature is an un-
deniable fact. the prescription Of
which in the public schools would
work untold harm. Is the tenor OF
all the statements.
That evolution does not conflict
with religion, for It is Gods method
Of continuous creation and revela-
ton Of Himself to man. was the
conclusion of several.

MAKE IT SNAPPY
i. S. WATCHWORD
SAYS SOUSA

Make it Snappy" is the watch
word Of the American music
public says Lieutenant Com
mander John Philip Sousa, who
this season will make his thirty
third annual tour at the head OF
his own band. Each season he
finds that the thousands who
hear his programs in all sections
of America demand more action
and more novelty-but particu-
larly more action. More numbers
and shorter ones. is their slogan.
Sousa and his band will give two
concerts, matinee and night, in
the Auditorium next Wednesday,
October Z. =
1.-The musician should remember
that the people who attend his
entertainments are the people
who dance to jazz music, attend
the movies, get their Jews from
the headlines. go out to lunch and
get back to their offices in fifteen
minutes, and drive sixty miles an
hour in an automobile en- route to
the place where they expect to
loaf all day." says Sousa. THE
American lives so fast that he is
losing his ability to give his full
attention to one particular thing
for more than a few minutes at
a time. ] find that the way to
hold his attention-and his patron
age-is to give him music of the
tempo of the country in which he
lives.

She is extremely fond of a

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
TO THE SETTINGS

In spite of the glowing critical
notices that Douglas Fairbanks
has received as one big produc-
ton after another issued forth
from his studios to fascinate
America, Doug has nursed
secret disappointment, it seems,
all these years. The trouble has
been the Indifferent attitude of
critics toward production settings
that were the pride of Fair
banks heart.
Doug has realized, all along,
that much of the trouble i'm this
direction has been due to his own
grabbing of the critical spotlight
and when one is watching Fair
banks roll along in high gear
through a picture, there is adj
mittedly mighty little time to look
at settings. Nevertheless, Fair.
banks determined. when he made
Don Q. Son of Zorro" to have
some sets that would attract at
tention, despite his own spectacu.
lar acting.
Those who have viewed the
film at Loew's Columbia Theater,
agree that the designing artist
has fulfilled all expectations.
There are thfrty-five sets in the
picture, all true to type and SO
tremendously blended that at no
time do they optrude upon the
arama. However, their beauty
ADDS much charm to the picture,
STIMULATING the spirit of romance
and adventure that pervades the
photodranIa.
