STAGE AND SCREEN

Announcement that the new Strand theater, seating 2500 persons and pronounced one of the most modern and thoroughly delightful playhouses in New England. opens on November II has attracted no little interest in this city where the ater patrons have long awaited definite news as to the opening date. Indications are that the s. R. o. sign will be out early that night.
 C. E. Horns and Sons, New York architects who designed the Capitol, have designed and supervised the Strand and the Margiolotti Studios, decorators of the Capitol. have done the art work.

Hoffman, head of the Hoffman Theatrical Enter prises who, in this city, is in associa- ton with Contaras brothers and Perakos. The latest feature pie lures likewise will be shown and the Strand orchestra and organ also will be featured.
 The manager of the Strand is Daniel Finn, late of the Gordon Olympia theater in Boston. Mr. Finn, who is a brother of Israel Finn who is manager of the New Palace, already has been in the city several weeks and in that time has mapped out his future policies. MT. Finn's pleasing personality, evident anxious ness and willingness to try to please is bound to make him a favorite with the theater goers here.
 Lon Chaney in "The Penalty" opens tomorrow night at the New Palace. Many have acclaimed this really Chaney's best character part. In it Chaney has the role of Bliz- gard, master of San Francisco's un- derword, legless. deformed - the weirdest character ever presented on the screen.

address at the opening of the first
Pan-American Congress of Journal
ism, the president expressed hope that
the congress would hold frequent
meetings which he said would react
to the betterment of relations between
North and South Americans. He pre-
dicted that this first congress would
result in a more accurate picture of
Latin-America being presented by the
newspapers of this country while the
southern republics would in like man
ner learn more of the United States.
When the president concluded the
congress opened discussion of "the
press in international relations" with
Jorge Mitre, editor of La Nacion of
Buenos Aires, one of the leading news
papers in South America, emphasizing
that the Latin point of view to be
borne in mind is a natural predilic-
tion of the race to politics." He added
that news for foreign dissemination
should be selected so as to give a
more just idea of national life of the
American peoples.

PAN-AMERICAN ADDRESS.
(By Dispatch A. P. Wire)

(By Dispatch A. p. Wire)
WASHINGTON, April 8.-President
Coolidge in his address to the Pan
American journalists today, said:
Members of First Pan American
Congress of Journalists:
This is the First Pan American Con-
gress of Journalists. In the number
of countries represented and in the
extent of territory embraced, it is
without doubt one of the most i'm
portant meetings of publishers and
editors that was ever held. And when
it is considered that within your
numbers are those who control and
most all the western hemisphere, the
weight and significance of your con-
ference becomes still more impress
sive. It is a peculiar pleasure to eX-
tend to your congress, which repre-
sents so many American republics, a
most cordial greeting, and to assure
you that the government and people
Of the United States are pleased to
make an appropriate response to the
honor which your presence confers.
Possibilities of broad and beneficial
results lie in the very nature of the
untrammeled constituency of your
body While provision was made for
it under a resolution of the fifth In
ternatfonal Conference of American
States, commonly known as the Fifth
Pan American conference, held at
Santiago, Chile in 1928, it is not an
official gathering. Your members in
no wise represent their respective
governments. You are here in your
individual capacities as the free
agents of a free press of free coun-
tries, in voluntary conference to dis
cuss ways and means of bringing
the people of the western world to 8
better understanding and a more SYM
pathetic accord.
Truth dissipates misunderstanding
and misconception. 1t is the func-
tion of a free press not only to make
the truth available to everyone with
| in it's sphere, but to cherish ant
develop a public sentiment for al
that is loyal TO the truth. A free
and enlightened press, by this means
becomes one of the safeguards of lib
erty. When devoted to these ideals
it is a vitality stimulating cultura
force.
Since the earliest establishment O.
republics in Latin America there has
been a common bond between the speo'
pie of those countries and our peo
pie. The strength of this bond has
grown with the years. But, up t
very recent times, there has beer
an unfortunate lack of information
on the part of the general public
of the United States of the aims
achievements, and progress of thos'
regions. And, 1 am told, similat
condition in regard to affairs in tn
United States has existed among thei
people. Such conditions can be RENE

single breasted effect will be noted,

Sport details are lacking with the

for golf or other sport purposes and
even these are of very moderate

One topcoat holds the center Of

"Abandon" is the word that would
best describe the fashions in mems
suits for the past year or so, hence
by noted contrast the word Pre-
cise' could be we'll used to emphasize
the newer trend in the modelling
of suits for spring, 1926.
Where the keynote of the English
styles that have dominated the fash
ion for the last two or three seasons
was carelessness, looseness, drape
rather than fit, the, uits of this sea-
son show more of a tendency toward
defining the figure-in fact exagger-
ating the lines bit by more accentu-
ated shoulders and waist line.
This idea lends to the suits more
of dapperness that has always been
characteristic of the Americans dress
and on which impression he has been
classed as "the best dressed man in

the English Shorts" really come into
vogue in this country. These Shorts"
at this writing are still a venture
they may, or may not, arrive. They
are straight-hanging pants stopping
just above the knee and they wear
them abroad with the golf hose
rolled to cuff below the knee and
the manner of the Scotch kiltie.
Getting into midsummer the styles
will show but little variation aside
from a few cautiously launched
novelties such as blazer coats with
flannel trousers in new bright and
pastel shades. These are now being
worn at English colleges and some
have manifested themselves at Florida
and California resorts. 1t is not
thought, however, that these will cut
large figure with the masses.
Palm Beach and other tropical
cloths will as heretofore be the mid
summer cloths in models very much
the same as those prescribed for

the world.' Then for some unac-
.countable reason we became "vamp-
ed by the English trend and we
lost our standing-only temporarily,
however, for the suits of the season
are nothing if not trim.
More Graceful Lines
The fronts are more "set," the
lines are more graceful in contour
and even the trousers show more
shapeliness than "shiek" styles have
that obscured the niceties for a
while.
Patterns, too, are more character
full. With the exception of a still
persisting popularity of plain blues
and quiet grey mixtures the most of
what is shown is in very expressive
plaids, blocks and fairly bold inter-
mixtures.
Double breasted suits that stood
out so prominently during the fall
and winter season are still good but

of the ideals and purposes Of the
United States.
The awakening of the spirit of in
dependence in Latin America, just as
the world was turning into the nine
teenth century, inspired a literature
that ranks high in quality. This
literary inspiration continued to- De
fed by the series of romantic events
following independence. I can mem
tion only few of the many of lit
erary distinction whose works in time
may become as well known to us as
those of French, Italian, German, and
English authors, as we extend the
study of Latin American tongues lin
our schools. Among these are Do
mingo Faustino Sarmiento, of Argen-
tina; Andres Bello, of Venzuela; Ruben
Darfo, of Nicaragua; Jorge Isaacs, of
Colombia; Ricardo Palma, of Peru;
Benjamin Vicuna Mackenna, of Chile;
Jose Enrique Rodo of Uruguay; Juan
de Dios Peza, of Mexico; Olavo Bilac.
of Brazil; Jose Maria Heredia, of Cuba:
and Jose Joaquin Olmedo, of Ecuador.
You will recall many other brilliant
names.
One of our writer's, after calling at
tention to the fact that Sarmiento
was a contemporary of Washington
Irving, James Fenimore Cooper, Bry-
ant Poe, Longfellow, Emerson, Haw-
thorne, Lowell, oliver Wendell Holmes,
all famous writer's of the United
States, adds;
49,. none exhibits Stlrmiento's
combination of activity and re-
ticality, brilliance and warmth.
With the exception of Emerson
it is doubtful if any Of these
paladins of our golden age of
literature was his SUPERIOR and
it was certain that none did more
to uplift his country and to raise
the general level of culture.
Sarmiento should be well known in
this country. After serving here as
minister plenipotentiary of Argentina
he became it's president. He was a
great student of the Institutions and
history of the United States and
wrote biography of Abraham Lin
coin. After conference with Horace
Mann he established system of edu-
cation in Argentina modelled after
some of those in this country.
In the field of drama Latin Amer
lea has produced Juan Ruiz de Alar-
con-, Scholarship, poetry, fiction, crit
icism, and political writing all have
had their exponents in the various
Latin American republics. Argen-
tina, Brazil, Chile, and Venezuela have
national academies of art and con-
servatories of music. There are many
who consider the Palace of Fine
Arts of Santiago, Chile, as the finest
of it's kind on the western hemis-
phere.

all the years never has failed to en-

These coats are very dressy in
their aspect being close cousins to
the Chesterfield idea and not far re-

All manner of fabrics are employed
from the fine and very dressy vi

Golf clothes are pretty much as

the real sport details retired from

have adopted the four-piece idea in

Noyes said in part:
"More and more has the press be-
come powerful influence in helping
to shape the affairs of nations. In
addition, the growing knowledge
which nations are gaining of each
other and the increasing interest
which they are taking in the welfare
of each other, has made the part
which the press plays in the dissent

factor of tremendous Importance"
"On account of these international
manifestations of news gathering, it is
most fitting THAT there should be pres

to the most remote corner Of the globe.
"Great Importance attached there

corps of newspaper correspondents. Its
Influence is felt not only throughout
the nation but throughout the world.
This influence is measured by the
manner in which these correspondents
interpret the news which develops in

therefore whose future home is being
erected upon this site close to the
seat of government and whose mem
bership includes representatives of

armament. To create a better UNDER
standing in this direction we are al
most entirely dependent on our edit
ors and publishers. The good they
can do in promoting better under
standing by supporting faith and good
will and peace can not be estimated.
Great Opportunity.
These are some of the methods by
which the American press can perform
a very large service for humanity. No
other journalists ever had like op-
portunity. In financial resources, in
absolute independence, in the reaction
of an enlightened public opinion to
right and truth and justice, the po-
sition which they occupy in this coun-
try stands unrivaled in all history.
There is another side to journalism
perhaps most important of all. No en-
terprise can obtain a success which is
worth anything unless it appeals to
the spiritual nature of mankind. No
matter how secular the efforts may
be of a publication it will fail of the
largest attainments will not meet the
highest requirements, will not secure
the widest influence unless it is NOV
ed by reverence for religion. Our
country is a reverent country and our
people are a reverent people. Our
institutions must rest on that foun-
dation. The press must minister to
that spirit. Their great work must go
on like all other great works, in reli-
ance upon divine purpose. If the
corner stone which we are laying to-
day is to endure, it must represent
these principles. Except the Lord
build the house, they labor in vain
that build it."
