others narrowly escaped the same
fate at 3:15 o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon when a small boat in

TODAY AND TOMORROW
Lubitsch, 80 Years Old,
Already An Old Master

The name Of Ernst Lubitsch has
been identified for so long with
motion pictures that it comes as
. surprising shock to most peo-
pie to learn the "the old master
is a comparative youngster; just
thirty-three years old.
The Lubitsch fame started to
reach this country years ago with
reports of the marvellous things
he had been doing in Germany.
But nearly all Americans have a
Missouri complex and they had to
be shown.
TIE showdown came with the
American release Of Passion"
.znd Passion established the
Lubitsch quality. The young
German was recognized for what
he is; not only the greatest of
the European directors, but one
who is unequalled in the world.
Lubitsch was the first director
to take historical Backgrounds and
make his characters live against
them with the, breath of vivid life
instilled into every detail. PAS
sion," deception" Zone Arabian
Night" and 1.-THE Loves of
Pharoah" masterpieces of their
sort. The promp and circum-
stance and thrilling quality of
these pictures led to the world
wide vogue Of costume plays that
continued long after Lubitsch had
turned TO new fields.
When Lubitsch came to the
United States three years ago UNI
der contract with the Warner
Brothers, he was barely thirty,
and sthe subtle Lubitsch touch
that has made his comedy produc-
tons a thing apart in motion pic
lures had scarcely been discern
ed BY the many who had been
swept by the tumultuous power Of
his historical pictures. In Holly
wood, a new Lubitsch was reveal
ed; the Lubitsch Of frothy light
ness, Of sparkling gaiety, of deft
comedy: the Lubitsch Of 1.-THE
Marriage Circle" and kiss Me
Again."
And now, at thirty-three,
Lubitsch seems about to enter on
q new chase. His latest picture,
LADY Windermere's Fam" adapt
ed from Oscar Wilde's brilliant
comedy, combines frothy lightness
with an undercurrent Of the
tumultuous power that is
Lubitsch's own. This picture,
which viii be shown at the Mon
roe Theatre today and tomor-
row, has been greeted everywhere
as the most important picture of
many seasons: the one picture
that everyone who loves the screen
must see.

MOVIES ARE HELD
HARMLESS TO EYES
Smoking Cigar Has Greater
Effect on Vision, Ply
siCianS' Test Shows.

BY the Associated Press.
DALLAS, Tex. April 24.-Motion
pictures have no serious effect on the
eyes of cinema fans, physicians re-
ported here yesterday at the closing
session of the American Medical AS
socia ton.
If one can read. write or work
without eye fatigue there is no harm
in attending movies, Or. A. Ray
Irvine and NJ. F. Weyman of Los An
Geles concluded in a paper giving data
on a series of experiments.
The smoking of a single cigar per-
haps lessons the vision more than
long period at the movies, DR.. Irvine
suggested. Reading of current maGa-
zines was found to cause greater
strain than viewing the pictures.
The Los Angeles physicians expert
mented with a group of college stu
dents. having them read steadily for
40 minutes and then transferring
them to a projection room. They
found the students could watch the
pictures twice as long as they could
read without discomfort. In AZ per
cent there was some vision reduction
from reading, while from the movies
only % per cent indicated vision re-
duction. Color pictures gave less
strain than black and white
DIR. Charles A. Balm of New Or
leans said the fact that 100000
view the pictures daily indicates the
movies have no serious effects on the
eye. Persons whose eyes become IA
tgued at the theater also become
tired when doing any other work af-
fecting vision. DR. Samuel II. Wat
son of Tucson, Ariz., reported that
the uSe of direct sunlight in treating
tuberculosis had been abused and
that it was a powerful agency, as
powerful for harm as for good.

said that normal hearing exists in
less than so per cent of school chill
dren. He recommended periodic eX-
