LITTLE THEATER-"The Living
Dead Man."

Luigi Pirandello's satire on young
intellectuals, THE Living Dead Man,"
is in some respects the best film the
Little Theater has vet offered. It is
radically different from the realistic
and sometimes heavy German pic
lures that have been featured for sew
eral weeks. For The Living Dead
Man" is so far removed from realism
as to be occasionally elusive, and the
satire hits the mark so consistently
that one catches ones self forgetting
it's satire. 1t is a picture that calls
for mental activity on the part Of the
audience.
The plot concerns itself with the
efforts of an intellectual young man
to attain that elusive thing he calls
freedom. The browning sardonic
touch is given when the young man
extricates himself from one marriage
only to put his foot into another. and
1t Is made quite plain that this second
marriage spells death for his freedom.
Ivan Mosjoukine plays the leading
role in manner which brings out all
the humor and all the satire of the
theme. Mosjoukine practices a re-
straint which keeps the picture from
the pitfalls of burlesque.
The settings are artistic. Rome,
Monte Carlo and a little Italian town
furnish the backgrounds. Marcel l.
Herbier, the director, has used double
exposures with commendable discre-
ton.
Scandalous goings-on in a drop of
water are shown in a microscopic
film, and the Pathe News is improved

take based on the story of the same
name is the feature picture at the

directed, having as the star Josephine

Ogden, a banker. In accepting the at
tentions Of Ogden she puts herself
within reach Of scandal The man her
sister is enamored of turned out to
be a blackmailer and tries to get

dence that the heroine chooses the
proper path. 1t is a story with a
moral. Evelyn Brent is cast as Jane,
the sister, while James Hall takes the
part of Honey's true love. Others in

MAMMALIAN HARDEN
 NOTED EDITOR IN . GERMANY DIES VIOLENTLY OPPOSED TO THE FORMER KAISER; EXPOSED
 COURT SCANDALS M

COURT SCANDALS
 BERLIN. Oct. 31. lP)-Maximilian Harden, noted German editor who Die Zukunft". died suddenly at Montana vermala, Switzerland.
 Maximilian Harden caused more un- many and men, who occupied political easiness to the former royalty of Ger positions during the regime ot the former kaiser than any other man or agency in German. He hated the form CT war lord more and feared him less than any other German subject; was violently opposed to the former kaiser, and never permitted to pass an opportunity. to criticize and attack the ruler and those associated with him in the government.
 People bought his newspaper, not because they were in sympathy with his policies, but merely to see what he had to say on the questions of the day. However, Die Zukunft was wide ly quoted throughout Germany and 1t was not long before newspapers abroad sought the publication for the purpose of getting the editors views on German questions.
 It was Harden who brought to light in 1907 the court scandal of Prince Philip zu Eulenburg and his compan- ions, which has been recorded as one of Germany's greatest sensations. Harden charged that the then En- 'peror William was surrounded by a carmarilla which exerted great and in furious influence on his decisions in political matters. He charged Prince Eulenburg, who had been Ger man Ambassador to Australia; Gener- al Count Kuno von Moltke and Gener- al Count Wilhelm von Hohenau with being men of abnormally vicious ten dencies and practices. The result was the dismissal of several titled persons from court circles and number of lawsuits, in one of which Harden was fined 3150 for labelling von Moltke.
 During the World War Harden was particularly active in his newspaper and on the lecture platform in oppos- ing German policies. He charged Germany with responsibility for the war and held that the kaiser, while not personally responsible for the con- flict, was the tool of the militarists. He declared that the Kaiser had the help of satan, not God. The German authorities he accused of cowardice and hypocrisy in trying to excuse their motives instead of frankly stating that they had long been prepared for conquest and seized upon the murder of the Austrian archduke as an excuse to put their plans into execution.
 Shortly after the assassination of Walter Rathenau, foreign minister, in 1922, an attempt was made upon the life of Harden by several young radi- calls. They attacked the editor on his way home one night and stabbed and blackjacked him. Altho seriously wounded, he recovered.
