DOUBLE FEATURES AT CAPITOL

Beginning today and for the bal ance of the week the Capitol will offer double features, both of them excellent entertainment and both worthy of standing alone on their own merit.
 . One will offer the famous danc- ing and "Follies" star Gilda Gray" in her first photoplay "Aloma of the South Seas" and the other Pals First" with Lloyd Hughes.
 "Aloma of the South Seas" Is a personal triumph for its star. Her portrayal of the impetuous, loyal, childlike girl of the South Seas is natural and convincing. Miss Gray is not at all camera conscious, which is indeed amazing when one con- siders it is her debut before a mo- ton picture camera. Gilda couldn' t strike an ungraceful pose if her life depended upon it. That is undoubt- cdly one reason why her work is so effective.
 Warner Baxter gives a fine ac- count of himself at Nuitane. Alo- mas native lover. The part is a particularly difficult one, and in less capable hands could easily have been made ridiculous. Mr. BaXters [ splendid physique adds immeasura- l bly, to the appeal the character of | Nuitane is going to have for movie
 goers throughout these United | States.

 The scenes of The Amateur Gen. tleman" are laid in the early sos in England, the period known as the Regency. The costumes are of the Beau Brummel period and in the story as told in the Barthelmess film, the hero Barnabas Beverly Barty, was the first to introduce wide trousers among the social lights of London.
 Barthelmess' good looks and fine physique stand him in excellent stead in this colorful drama. He cuts an even more dashing figure if that is possible as Barty than at It Ranson in "Ransons Folly" his previous success.
 "The Amateur Gentleman" hur- ries along at fast clip and-is full of exciting incidents. Two of the most exciting are a fist fight which Barty wages against his father, the x-heavyweight champ of England, and a thrilling steepleChase.
 Barthelmess is surrounded by an exceptionally brilliant cast. Dorothy Dunbar plays opposite Barthelmcss

Bert Lytell, dashing, debonair, romantic, the living personification of Louis Joseph Vance. hero of The Lone Wolf Returns" opened this afternoon at the Lyceum on a double feature program which also includes the latest episode of the now famous serial, The Radio Detective"
 The Lone Wolf Returns" Is more thrilling and spectacular than is this widely read fiction story of the famous crook who baffled the police authorities.

We may teach in our colleges
but the destruction of law will bring
our teaching to nothing. IL
We may preach in our pulpits-
but if law is disobeyed, the preach
ments of religion will go UNDECIDED.
Our scientists may discover new
things. They may prove the value Of
these things; but neither science, nor
preaching, nor teaching can save a
lawless people.
"Americanism" is one Of the finest
words that has come to English
speaking races in the present genera
tion. But unless Americans loyalty,
vigorously, honestly, obey their own
laws, Americanism, along with edu-
cation, religion, and science, may per-
ish in the wreckage of great nation.

WHAT Do WE REMEMBER?

CUNDAY, May 3Oth is Memorial
- Day. Monday, May 31st will be
officially observed). This is one Of
our two particularly national" holt
days. The other is the Fourth of July.
On the Fourth we look forward, we
boast triumphantly Of what the coun-
try is and prophesy vigorously what
it is to be. But today we look back
ward. We think not of ourselves, but
Of those who have died for us. What
do we remember? Nothing of much
Importance, unless we remember that
the nation demanded their sacrifice
for Ideas.
The Civil war was a war for an
idea-fo the idea Of freedom. ''This
nation" said Lincoln, Cannot exist
permanently half-slaye and half
free" It did not. It bought with blood
and tears the right to exist perma-
nently free.
The war Of 1914-1918, so far as we
were concerned, was likewise war
for an idea-for the idea that ma
ton would better not exist than brook
interference with the moral principles
on which it is founded. The issue was
far less clear-cut than in the Civil
war, more involved both with econ
omics and with fear; but when we
called on our men to fight, and if
necessary to die, for the country, we
persuaded ourselves rightly or wrong
" that they were summoned not to
defend the national honor" but ssto
make the world safe for democracy"
Any forgetfulness Of that basic
persuation is dangerous.
War is an evil, and no man is a
hero merely because he died in war.
The question is what he died for. And
there is no unintelligence or mean
ness So profound as that Of an indi-
vidual or a nation which accepts a
sacrifice without knowing or caring
why it was made.
If on Memorial Day we remember
only that sons. and brothers have Civ
en- their lives for us, without seeking
to realize exactly for what they gave
their lives, then truly as far as we
are concerned those men have died
in, vain.
If we take Memorial Day merely as
an opportunity to say, or even to
think, pleasant things about the dead,
the day has not fulfilled its purpose.
Perhaps, if instead Of Memorial
Day we called it Dedication Day, we
should be nearer the truth of what
it ought to mean. The men of whom
we speak, whose graves we decorate,
we cannot again dedicate to service.
Ourselves we can dedicate; and, if
we really remember, we will.
