Jim Gets Started

In the spirit of fairness let 1t be recorded tnat
after thirty years Of public lfe one OF the laws Oh
the Nation will stand as monument to senator
James Watson.
Never again can it be said that he has never
written a law or fathered which bears his name
II Is true that the law which he introduced Is
already in effect in many cities and that counclen
who fathered ordinances for the same purpose are
unsung, forgotten, unhonored.
1t will protect the lives of many children says
the great statesman, because it provides tnat any
cleaning preparations which contain I'VE OF caustio
ingredients shall be plainly stamped with the
warning Of poison"
No longer will the mail order houses De per-
,t+od m send ont their cans and barrels to menace
the children Of the Nation.
The law has the merit Of unanimous approval
inasmuch as those who manufacture OF deal IN tnese
articles are very much interested in preventing any
agedfes and the bad advertising that always re-
suits.
But it shows initiative, if his start is made
against something that every one agrees is BAD.
In another thirty years perhaps Watson may
have the couarge to champion measure which has
in it an element Of opposition some cause or pr1n-
ciple about which there is chance of disagree
ment. 3D.
It is conceivable though not probable that IN
that time he might get the point where he would
challenge the extortions Of big privileged interests
He might, in time, emerge from the cloakroom
with bill to give the farmers little more than
"bag of peanuts" or show enough interest in the
workers to- relieve them Of of the unfair bur-
dens which they carry
True the people have long awaited for the mira
ce the product of great genius the bud which shows
that the winter of CESSATION is over and that the
spring time Of Watson's career is at hand.
+ "a he ia bloom,
what after the manner of century plant it Is true,
but still little flower Of promise and sign of
hope.
The people Of the State have been very patient
They have waited long and anxiously. The encoucn-
rnent is over. Watson is the father of law.

There seems to be a tendency on
the part Of some producers to over
do the moral teaching thing.

no one suspects that it is a lesson.

that there are now
only two candidates for the title
Of the worlds greatest movie-"Tht
Birth of q Nation"-or 1.-The Bis
Parade" The parade" shows wal
in it's most human, lovin' aspects
It shows war as a cursing nasty
terrible thing. 1t shows the heart
beats, the laughs, the screams and
giggles behind the lines.
It shows war as 1t Is in the front
line trenches. It shows death, hate
real human, terrible hate. 1t shows
sudden death. 1t reflects hell or
earth.
The war reflected here is the real
article. It is not the melodranatic
war so often reflected upon the
stage and the screen. sbut war as II
Is with all Of its horror, filth and
pain.
And yet 1.-THE Big Parade Is not
a photoplay Of just horrors. The
story Is so human because real
characters appear in it. Real mer
and real women.
Let US consider this movie in two
ways. First, its comedy. Most men
attach as much importance 10 the
dramatic war side Of this movie, be
cause even the war scenes are
human-human because real men
went mad with KILN.
1t is IN the first part of the movie
when you see the boys marchin' and
singing. Where you see EN- In
France dishing barnyard dust just
for pastime. Then you see 'em
pickin' out the girls and the develop
ment of the romances.
It is here that James Apperson
and Melisande become friends and
real lovers, Their love-making Is
so human and real that one cannot
understand that it is just acting.
The influence Of their love even
extends into the trenches and over
the shell ruined lands Of of France.
Here is a romance so human and
beautiful that 1t becomes a sort of
benediction.
It is here in the first part that
you meet James Apperson, played
by John Gilbert; Bull, played by
Tom O'Brieh, and Slim, played by
Karl Dane. Dane is the real COM
edy find of the season. He is as slim
and long as his name implies. He
Is the best tobacco chewer in the
Army and Is the champion splitter.
He Is a real herman. He is rough,
honest and ready And when he dies
on the battlefield I am sure that
you will feel that you have lost a
real friend.
John Gilbert is starred In 1.-THE Big
Parade" and justly so. Last sum-
mer when I was in New York I
was told by some film people who
know what they are talking about
that Gilbert is the best movie bet
FOR the next ten years.
Eyerytime you mention 1.-THE Big
Parade" you will be reminded Of GIL

Gilbert you win instantly recall

a smart cast and an elaborate pro-

used. This we have in the First

The splendid comedy work of Miss
Talmadge proves to me that we have
a right to expect as great acting on
the screen as on the stage. 1 am
sure that Miss Ulric could not have
done better with the part.
Although it is Norma they will be

bricks, had indisputably received 1S4 votes, less
than majority. The votes of South Carolina Florida
