enclosure. 1t showed me that you

Alden Prescott but to John Alden
Prescott's wife
Your letter, my dear Sydney, was
just what | would expect you to
write. 1t cleared up many things
for me and did me a great deal of
good. This was not so much be-
cause of what you said as it was
because of what you did not say.
/ saw my own shortcomings as
had never seen them before, and
want to acknowledge right here and
now to you that ! have come to the
conclusion that | am as much to
blame for the misunderstanding be-
tween Jack and myself as he is.
And | also want to promise you
that am going to try very hard to
get his point of view. which l sea
from your letter is really the mas
culine point of view.
l probably will not get it ali al
| once, dear friend, but L am writing
this letter that you may know thu,
am determined to succeed ans
that I shall be just to him without
any prejudice if possible.
I shall not refer to this matter
| again. dear Sydney, and / know yot
will not. 1t is humiliating th.ne

At The Movies
AT THE CAPITOL

What promises to be an unques-
tionably charming picture treat will
be the presentation here for the
first time of the big production,
David Copperfield," which was
adapted from the celebrated and
world-loved novel of that title by
Charles Dickens. This exceptional
feature comes to the Capitol Thea
ire beginning tonight.
In the making of David Copper
field" as Il picture. the adherence to
the original Dickens story of love,
laughter and tears is as close as it
can possibly be. None of the won
drous charm Of the characters that
were made famous through the mar
ration of David Copperfield" has
been lost and the romance has been
illustrated in an exceptional manner.
The picture is genuine treat in
every respect. The playing is splen-
did. The Photography is unexcelled.
The direction is superb. The romance
runs through a channel of interest
ing and enthralling scenes, with
young Copperfield proving real
hero.

Just at that very minute the little

CHIEF EVENTS
OF THE WEEK
BRIEFLY TOLD
Europe Lettering on Edge
of Radical Changes,
Stewart Says
BY CHARLES F. STEWART
NEA Seryica Writer

Europe is teetering on the edge
of some very radical changes. Not
since the war ended has the old
world political situation been so
disturbed as Just now. In single
spots there may have been bigger
connections, but present insecurity
is almost everywhere.
To begin with-France.
The cabinet change Herewith
Paul Painleve succeeding Herriot as
premier; with Aristide BRAND, him
self several times premier, in charge
of foreign affairs; with Joseph Gail
laux, but recently freed by amnesty
from penalties incurred for his at
titude toward the Germans during
the war as minister of finance-was
intensely dramatic, but not essen
italy important.
What counts is that France, to
say nothing of her huge debts, can't
pay current expenses, yet refuses to
allow taxes to be increased. Cabinet
changes signify little. The question
is: How are the French to escape
what threatens to be a fatal finan-
cial pinch? Nobody knows.
Italy and Spain are simmering. In
the former country, Benito Mus
solini maintains himself only by
force. He may not be weakening
but his enemies are gaining strength.
Revolution seems nearer in Spain

PRESIDENT COOLIDGE KNOWS
HUMAN NATURE.

What is "we' compared to- inc?
It is illustrated in the tactfulness Of
President Coolidge in declining the
suggestion of his secretaries that he
conserve energy by omi tting the
daily handshaking reception to all
corners and gathering the visitors,
instead, in a group where he could
address them daily brief speech.
From every standpoint of reason
and efficiency, the secretaries were
of course right. 1t would be easier
for the president and much more
useful to the visitors. Instead Of
meaningless second apiece of hand
shake, they would have perhaps 20
minutes of rather intimate personal
impression of the president in &C.

or national me ssage as the day
might bring forth.

able. But it would be eve. not

New York, April 29.-Many artists
have tried to catch the spirit of New
York in paintings, but the best they
have been able to do is to set down
an impression of one little section,
Music offers a wider scope for the
recording of the entire scene, if a
complete record is possible in any
medium. The nearest approach ia
such a musical record is the old
ragtime piece, 1.-The Sidewalks OF
New York"
Now George Gershwin has been
commissioned by the New York Sym
phony Society to write New York
concerto in three movements, to be
played in Carnegie Hall Dec. 3 and
4. Gershwin is an impressionist.
His Rhapsody in Blue" attracted
wide attention as the forerunner OF
new school of American music
Being an impressionist Gershwin has
removed himself far from New York
to write the piece. He will stay in
London until it is done.
He is a man for whom tomorrow
has never come. His sensitive face
is framed in long gray hair. He
wears a flowing black tie. l often
see him in the theater and about the
movie houses. Once he was an actor
striving through long years for
recognition. Then he entered the
movies, but could get no higher than

Many young men and women am
bilious to succeed in the arts come
to New York only to be duped by

violin tells me. that an ex-bootblack
on the East Side promises to teach
beginners to play any instrument
And this ex-bootblack can hardly
read music and knows nothing OF

The violin student who told me of
the bogus music teacher, tells a very
pathetic story Of another violin stu
