MARE NosTRuM

MAKE NOO MUM
HERE Is another of those things"
H A picture splendidly acted, beau
tifully photographed, most capably d.
rected-all for a story that Is so
damnably punk 1t is an insult to even
the intelligence OF a jack-rabbit. And
more, 1t comes whole eight years
too late for its purpose. We advise
every worker to see 1t Showing at
the Roosevelt Theatre in Chicago for
its many good features and to see
what historical war propaganda real
ly looks like in normal times.
MARE Nostrum" is q rank propa-
ganda story written by that rank pro
pagandist Blasco Ibanez, for the Allies
during the world war. And vicious
bit of propaganda it is. The sacred
cause" Of the Great Powers is glOri-
fed, and the Germans vilihed and
pictured as head-shayen brutes. The
story deals with sea captain in
the Mediterranean and his love for a
beautiful spy, espionage, and subma-
rines. The brutality of submarine
warfare impresses one quite wildly
and dramatically and OF course is pic
tured at the expense of the Germans
only. On this one theme are wasted
all the splendid things we mentioned.
Antonio Moreno gives most credit
able performance very ably assisted
by Alice Terry, who is not only a
blond but very much an actress. Three
hundred pound Hughie Mack occupies
prominent role and lot of space.
The balance of the cast is composed
entirely of foreign actors Qncluding
Germans whom it villifies) speaking
volumes for the foreign invasion" of
American films, a subject deserving Of
special notice. Read these names Of
the cast: Fernand Mailly, Mile. Kith
nou, Michael Brantford, Frederick
Marriott, Nine. Paquerette, Andre Won
Engelman, Rosita Ramirez, Uni Apol-
Ion, Alex Nova, and Kada-Abd-el Ka-
der.
On seeing this picture one cannot
avoid comparison with "The Big
Parade" another war picture" The
former is at least an approach to an
honest portrayal of war, brilliantly
done, artistically satisfying; Mare
Nostrum" is dishonest bit OF fake
for gullibles tho most ably done. Why
such medium was chosen for the
lavish expenditure of both money and
talent, at this time particularly, is in
deed a mystery (After all the Ger
mans may not be "our" next enemy +.

productions to his credit has also most

cHicAGo's PAUL Ash
A MUSICAL 5ARNUM


CtAN you imagine crowd that viii
" wind around a theater for two
blocks, patiently waiting for an hour
and half Ito see the shown" For
three days in succession this sight
greeted us at the Oriental Theater as
early In the evening as 6 D. M, and it
took exactly four attempts on our part
to see the performance without wait
ing. And we had to miss supper to
do it.!
1t wasn't the movie. "Senor Dare
devil" the picture showing last week
would never pass the censorship Of
the most gulHble galoot who goes to
the theater. Paul Ash does 1t! Paul
Ash of the waving, long hair and the
fare of Barnum. There is something
quite remarkable about this self-styled
"Rajah of jazz" He has contrived to
weld a performance that gets down
to his audience, that gets under its
skin and that becomes a habit that
brings them back week after week
with clock-like regularity and in IN
creasing numbers.
His performance is often vulgar. A
downright, broad and common" vul-
garity that is reminiscent of the old
burlesque show. He resorts to the
rankest kind of sob stuff and slap
stick. He monopolizes the stage.
Even when another performer is doing
his or her Especially" Paul has his
own little spotlight. He dominates
and is part of every move that is made
at all times and everything that goes
over only adds to Paurs particular
glory.
Paul Ash is all these things and
more-and know it! And I'm hanged
If l don't make an effort each week
to crash the gate to get in before the
kalf-mile line that gathers every even
ing to pay tribute to his low-down
genius. With the intelligence of the
born Snowman, Paul Ash has COM
bined the music of his excellent jazz
orchestra with scenery, variety and
surprises. And the usually mediocre
performers who fill his bill really look
to good advantage. Not that Paul
does not include occasional really
good bits" On the program, which
is changed every week, dancer, a
singer, or perhaps a member of his
own orchestra will surprise you with
something that is truly clever. That's
part of Paul Ash show. But that's
not all.
The secret of this musical Barnum
is not pure charlatanry, nor even abil-
ity. Paul Ash has discovered the
secret of making the audience take
part in his show. He's personal.
When he talks to his audience-it's
to an old acquaintance. When he tells
them something new-it's something
special" for his audience. They sing
with him and for him. They meet
every Sunday morning in a Paul Ash
Club to get acquainted. He let's them
laugh at his hair. He let's his per-
formers poke fun at him on the stage
within limits that don't endanger
his prestige. He laughs, he sings, he
dances and he plays-and they pay
to see Paul Ash-the one and only
Paul Ashland his performers who
are styled the Little Hot Ashes"
They sure are. And SOS their old
man! w. C.

Old Hymns Enjoyed

At the First M. E. Church Sunday
morning, Mothers Day, was observed
in the sermon of Rev. c. 3. Ware
and in the music, one feature being
the singing of the good old hymns
of the church, one verse from each
of twelve Of the favored ones being
sung by the congregation one after
the other, in place of some Of the
regular formal exercises, in opening
and two more again in closing. This
song service was quite touching to
many, recalling tender scenes and
loved places associated with mothers
of the long ago. Miss Marjorie
Owens gave sweet and appropriate
song for the day. The service was
especially sacred and sweet. Every
person wore a red or white flower,
presented at the door, and the altar
bore one lovely group of white lilies
end another one of red lilies.

EDITORIAL
SCHOOL, ACTIVITIES

A great many students Of this
high school are taking active in
terest in athletics. debates, clubs,
plays and many special class do
ings. These make the school life
more interesting and no one can
deny that they are not also bene-
fitting those who participate. Take
for instance. it is splendid ex-
perience for the DICTATOR to speak
before a large audience on an
everyday question. He attains a
better idea Of the government and
when he leaves this school he is
able to give a speech in the best
way possible.
But are these many things
harmful to the students? When
they are engaged in these activi-
ties for school honor do they spend
as much time on their lessons as
they should? Sometimes these &C
tivities are carried too far and
sometimes when the students are
in some special outside work they
have tendency to let their les
sons slide. Many people have de.
clared this, but we have found
that even if students are in other
work besides their school work
they will spend practically just as
much time on their lessons as they
did before.
