Be OFFERED TO y
j. S. GOVERNMENT
what Price Glory Film Of
fered for Filing in
Archives.

Spurred by the valuation put on
what Price Glory" by two eminent
American Historians, Fox Films Of
ficials will donate a print of the
film for filing in the proposed $4,000
900. Archives Building in Washing
ton for which VIII II. Hays has just
received the approval of President
Coolidge. This announcement was
made today by James r. Granger,
general sales manager Of the Fox
Corporation in the following state
ment:
1.-TWO eminent American historians
have gone on record as to the his
torical Importance of our film ver-
sion of what Price Glory" and for
that reason we are glad to donate a.
print of the production for filing in
the Government Archives where ID
can serve students and research
workers in the future.
According to Professor Charles
Seymour of Yale, the editor Of the
Intimate Papers of Colonel House.
it will be of great value to histor.
ians because it will preserve the atA
mosphere Of war, illustrated by az
thousand minor incidents which the
historian finds it difficult to collect.'
In the, opinion of Professor Seymour
this will do a great service to his
torians.
prof. James T. Shotwell Of Coz
lumbia University and editor Of the
gigantic history of the great war
which the Carnegie Foundation will
publish, has written to us that quite
apart from the interest of the pub-
lie in the picture itself, a print'Aof
the film when completed will furnish
remarkable historical record. It
deals with those parts of war his
tory which have generally escaped
the historian; the effect of war upon
the common man when faced not
merely with danger, but with the
conditions of life in the trenches
under which modern war must be
fought. History at best can only
generalize when dealing with moves
ments of armies and of nations. So
the lfIldSlIldIlN6 TeCOHSlTuCLlOn on
story dealing with typical soldiers
living under war conditions is a real
contribution, If along with the imagt.
nation which creates the story, care
is taken to present scenes with COM
vincing accuracy
''Mr. Hays has named a number
Of news reels which will go into the
Government vaults. There are cerS
tain other pictures which deserve a
place there for their historical value
Among these I would suggest The
Birth of a Nation and The Iron
Horse. Both of them dealing with
historic episodes automatically.
What Price Glory ought to prove
even more valuable, because 1t was
written and acted by men who
served in the war itself and as az
story has been acclaimed as true
portrayal of what contemporary
generation thought and felt about
the great conflict"

MuSSoIini INDUCES in a
Little Piece of BalIy-
hoo.
BY NJ. e. Tracy

What does Mussolini care about
bombs. Nothing, absolutely moth
ing, the darling of fate-but his work
must go on.
1t may be written in the stars
that a bomb shall hit its mark.
Meanwhile, if one misses, why not
make capital of it. No glory in be-
ing the target of marble cutter,
but the target of nation-that is
different.
The great brain of Mussolini func-
tions without a hitch as his driver
steps on the gas and speeds away
from the belated explosion. People
are dying back there. but no matter.
France" cries Mussolini, as soon
as he can get his breath and an
audience, France"
And the Fascist have new cause
Tor remaining solid and obsequious.
No mere attempt Of a lone luna
tic to kill the duce this, but the
sinister denouement of plots which
a foreign government permitted to
hatch.

dictators, but seldom fails to work.

masterpiece in
that way.
The story begins with, the pirates,

century or so ago and brings out
WILDLY the life these sea rovers lead.
A ship is captured by the pirates and

by Fairbanks. and his father.
The father dies and the son, in a
quest of vengeance, joins the pirate
band and kills the leader. To bring
himself up further in the estima-
ton Of his crew he does the inpos-
sible, to them, he captures a ship
alone and unaided. on this ship
is the girl whom the BLACK Pirate. +"
as he has been chosen TO call him
self, falls in love with Romance on
ters the picture at this point and is
handled throughout the picture from
then on.
In the final capture Of the pirate
ship. engineered by the BLACK Pr
rate" there is some fine work.
The pirates are captured by the
opposing forces by means of the
attackers swimming under water TO
the ship and catching her unawares.
It is a beautiful sight seeing a body
Of men swimming in military forma-
ton under water.
1t wouldn't do to tell you all Of the
picture, however, as Il might take

jury frees Clarity and the score is
tied.
Then comes the third contest. But
see it for yourself, then go home
and try to convince your wife or the
best girl that after all the man
always wins.
This is a new kind of sex picture.
The kind the whole family can see
and enjoy a laugh. a thrill or two
and argue about afterwards.
Norma Shearer is her usual
charming vivacious self. Conrad

women IKE TO see In all men, but

There is some "applesauce" of

Borden is the modern Eve. Clothes
today are the cause of many domes-
tic fights, just as they were in fig
leaf time in the days of the first
Adam and Eve.
In telling why he did such a dar-
ing thing as to bring Adam to the
screen, Howard Hawks, director,
said:
How much do you know about
Adam? He has had more publicity
to the square inch than any man
who has ever labored amid troubled
surroundings, but what is really
known of him?
Adam, to my mind, Is one of the
most intensely dramatic figures, yet
he has been singularly lacking in an
adequate Boswell. We take him as
a matter of fact, but if we are to
take him at. all, why not take him
at his best?
"He must have been a man of
some humor, for it Is conceivable
that Eve was always repeating that
familiar refrain, I haven't a thing
that's fit to wearr Adam laughed at
that, of course, just as Adam Smith,
in our modern version. laughed at
his tiny Eve-and daresay <that's
what caused all the trouble.
II felt. of course. that Adam had
his human side. just as Eve had her
rib, and I saw no logical reason why
we shouldn't bring these to the
screen. If a modern love story runs
through the modern sequences, it is
because an ancient love story ran
through the Garden sequences, and
that was as it should be. Love and
Money! How far would we get if
we didn't have these to keep us plug
ging?"
1t is our opinion that Fig Leaves"
is smart and mighty interesting en-
tertainment. 1t is full of smart
laughs and there is lot of beauty
present.

Invention the Savior

The Berlin police are in a
quandary.
A young railway auditor has been
caught $4,000 short in his accounts,
and it is their business to arrest him,
but first they must serve a warrant.
They cannot do this because he is
asleep, and has been asleep for nine
months-the victim of a peculiar
disease.
Meanwhile, Irene Dupont says
that we may find drugs that will
keep us awake all the time. and if,
that is possible, why not drugs that
will keep us asleep indefinitely?
If such drugs were to be discov-
cred. why couldn't criminals evade
the law by putting theselves to sleep,
or would the law surmount such
difficulty by compelling everybody to
take wakeful drugs so that 1t could
be sure the police would always be
in a position to serve warrants?
Inventiveness is a wonderful thing.
chiefly because about every inven-
ton gets us into some kind of a
scape that calls for more inventions
to get us out of it.
One man invents an auto and an
other invents a gasoline monopoly.
Just now we are looking for some
genius to invent substitute fuel

tually present. The Germans have
