FRIENDS and acquaintances of
Monta Bell. former Washington

interested In an article describing
Bells unusual screen production
methods, just issued by the press de-
partment of Metro Goldwyn-M Mayer.

one Immediately the key to his sue
cess in achieving q sense of reality in
his pictures and in excluding the
usual studied histrionics of photoplay
production.
"It Is the opinion Of most experts
that Bell does not achieve such re-
suits through conscious effort. He
came to the motion picture industry
with a fresh viewpoint, unhampered
by the traditions of the theater, and
his viewpoint is the viewpoint Of the
reporter, rather than that Of the pro-
fessional stage director. His instinct
seems to be to tell a story in the
fewest possible movements and in
the most interesting manner possible

an achievement in Summer theater
comfort. which, up to the time that
the Palace installed it's mammoth
new cooling system and placed it in
operation last Sunday afternoon,
seemed impossible to attain.
Perhaps no day during the past
week more clearly demonstrated the
wonderful and amazing power of this
new system to reduce inner theater
temperatures to the comfort point
than last Tuesday afternoon, when
the thermometer f1irted boldly with
the middle COS along F street and the
whole city sweltered under a blanket
of humidity.
Stepping directly from the heat and
glare of F. street into the lobby Of
Loew's Palace one Immediately be-
came aware of sudden drop in the
temperature that was as cooling as a
sudden dip into forest glades. The

STEPS NECESSARY
TOWARD REFORMATION

A case Of youthful depravity was
evidenced this week, when two small
boys, aged 12 and II years, were
found generously distributing gifts
to their fellow-pupils at the public
school in this city.
Investigation revealed that they
had in their possession number of
articles totalling one hundred and
eight, which they We're handing out
by the wholesale to delighted school
boys and girls.
Being questioned, the boys did not
hesitate to tell where they had secur-
ed the "swag," and it was found that
Hargis Department and the SC and
10c stores were the places located.
The articles pilfered included, rings,
brooches, compacts, and various other
things. The confessions of the young
culprits did not seem to be attended
with much remorse, and the display
of turpitude in such youthful sub
jects was specially narrowing. Here
is chance for intro-spection by
somebody charged with the training
of these wayward children.

BOY SCOUT TROOP

Matthews, s. S.

With Fred Henderson as scoutmas-
ter and William Hancock as his as
sistant, the Boy Scouts with many
new members in their midst have a.
gain organized and are awaiting Of
ficial recognition from Headquarters
in the way of a charter.
In the first meeting, the names of
all boys interested in the movement
were taken and definite time decided
for meetings.
On Thursday night December 18th,
the first regular meeting of the
Scouts was called to order at 7.30 P.
M. H. M. Walters, the representative
of the Boy Scout Council, composed of
DR.. A. A. Parker and G. E. Robertson
of the Rotary Club, were present at
the meeting. Mr.. Walters gave
short talk telling them how the Ro-
tary Club was backing the movement
and what they expected of the boys.
During the meeting, Winston Mat
thews was appointed scribe scout.
Later, the. thirty boys present were
divided into three patrols of eight
boys each, the fourth to be filled later.
At the meeting on Monday the 20,
another patrol was formed, thus MAX
ing a troop of five patrols, or forty
boys. Although the Scouts are nom
military just the same at this meet
ing we learned the proper salute,
formation, etc., so that we could keep
the proper order if necessary. The
meeting was then adjourned until
the following Monday.
1t seems that several other troops
have been formed in this city, but due
to the lack of proper leadership or
backing from the boys and town, the
movement fell through, but this time
it seems as if the organization is here
to stay, and we earnestly solicit the
cooperation of the town.

DR.. PAUL l. BERMAN
TO LECTURE HERE
Will Appear In The Presbyterian
Church Next Wednesday
Evening, 7.45 O'clock.

On Wednesday Of next week, Dec.
20, DR.. Paul L. Berman, will lecture
in the Presbyterian Church at 7.45
p. M.
DR.. Berman is connected with the
National Board and is engaged in
Jewish Evangelistic work in the Bal
timore Synod. He has visited POGO
moke once before, and the impression
then made will doubtless insure him
a hearty welcome and large audi
ence.
AS stated before in the Democrat,
DIR. Berman is a Hebrew who has a.
dopted the Christian faih, and by his
influence he is drawing, numbers Of
his people to follow his example with
out, in any way, laying himself open
to the charge of proselytism.
He is a man Of ability and with a
great amount Of personal magnetism.
He is preacher Of wonderful force,
sincere believer in the religion of
the new dispensation, and his success
is due only to his sincere efforts to
show his people what he believes to
be the true light.
It is probable the regular Wednes-
day night prayer meetings in the diff
ferent churches will be dispensed with
in. order to allow members of other
denominations to hear DR.. Burman
This, however, is not authoritative
but each church will receive notice as
to any such arrangement. The pub
lie is cordially invited to hear this
interesting talker, and all who attend
can be assured of most profitable
evening.
