On the Screen
THE METROPOLIS.

Don't let anybody blurb you into believing 1.-THE
Metropolis" is the greatest blah-blah that ever
flickered. That's lot Of hooey. And so is most of
the picture. But don't let anybody keep you away
from i. It's worth six-bit investment to see the
settings, photography imagination and artistry in
the picture.
"The Metropolis is not up to some other Ger
man pictures we have seen. 1t fizzles in the story
it tells in sequence and in artistic honesty 1t only
proves once again that all is not art that glitters
in Europe The story is "R. U. R." done over, de-
vitazed and revamped to be less annoying to those
who might get worried about revolution.
The background of "The Metropolis" is the fu-
ture machine age. giant intellect a So
ciety in whose cities workers live underground,
mere cogs whose lives are broken in pulling levers
and guarding machines. An upper super-class
joys the product of their labor. Things go on ex-
ploitngly until female bible hanger in the cata-
combs of the city, teaches the ideas of Christ which
have been long forgotten. The son of the Giant
Brain who the city falls in love with this fu-
ture Aimee Mcpherson and when the slave workers
revolt, they jointly the machine civilization and
bring about the unity of Brain and Drawn when
the Giant Intellect shakes hands with a foreman
and actually admits workers are human beings.
After which, we are led to believe Capital and
Labor live happy ever after. That's the kind of a
mulligan this turned out to be!
However, despite the story, the producers in
touching the subject, could not avoid its dynamite
The mechanical workers, the system that brushes
their lives, the uprising of the slaves the machines
all this despite the fake of the story-give one
a feeling of great underlying force that must be
uncomfortable 10 hundred percenter. One New
York critic sensed this so keenly and went home
uncomfortable that he condemned the picture as
lot of working class propaganda 1t isn't that
by any But it is good deal for sx-bits
Much more, in fact, than get in most of our NOV
les. its worth seeing because it offers something diff
ferent from the ordinary run of pictures. It also
has elements of things that workers will understand
There's little danger that worker will be stuck
any of the molasses. It's too gooey.
In New York, "The Metropolis" is being shown
at the Ralto.-W. C.

THRU DARKEST AFRICA.

In the last few years type Of film has
rightly gained in popularity. Pictures like MAN
ook of the North" "Grass," "Moana," "The Gorilla
Hunt" have brought to us primitive human and
animal life still eistant in far corners of the globe
The habits, customs and the struggle for exist
ence of primitive peoples have been set before our
eyes in all their interest and color Different stages
of civilization wildly portrayed. The popularity
Of these films are bringing many more into exist
for early showing and many more won't be
too many.
''Thru Darkest Africa"-in search of the White
ThinOceros, is not the best of these pictures. 1t
is abominably sub-titled in circus fashion. It's
straining after effect in bombastic wording is an
noying and dstracting from the interest of the
African life the picture presents However, even
the titles can't kill the picture and tho not as great
in interest as preceding films of this type "Thru
Darkest Africa" is well worth seeing.
If you in New York Cat the Cameo Theatre,
"The Salon of the Cinema"-isn't that a wow?)
there's an added interest in the showing of Chap
Inns old classic Shoulder Arms, on the same bill
It's funny as ever it was and worth the second
once-over.

IN MEMORY OF SUN VAT SEN.

Out of the Morning Land
His voice went, and his hand
Touched flame about him, and shout that
rent
The flaccid shadows and brokers' battle
ment:
Give over, give over, give over!
II am the poor mans lover,
Il am the poor mans penny.
Let him use me, there will be many
To follow the furrow I've broken,
ITO follow my death for token.
20, we who have life for gift.
Are we at ease to sift
Our singing pain,
"Sun-swinging through the rain?
Until the warders of the last release
Blow seward all the fog, shall no man
cease
Until |, the poor mans lover,
Have driven death to coverp'
And those who went the way of Sun Vat Sen
Had faith, and knew that love would come
again.

THEY TALK OF LOVE.

They talk of love who never know
The suffering, the tears, the woe
Of them the dark earth falls upon
From hopeless dawn to hopeless dawn,
Of them the soaring gas consumes
And seal alive in dripping tombs,
Or speak of love who do not care
What price is paid millionaire!

WHAT OUR coMRADE WOULD ASK.

Shall we mouth few speeches and turn and forget?
Is it honor enough that his ashes shall lie
Where the Red Flag of Freedom triumphant is set
Der the walls Of the Kremn and streaming the sky?
Nay, not to our comrade the pomp of a grave,
The roaring Of cannon, the rolling of drum,
The Red Flags of mourning, half-masted that wave
As he passes from battle to lie in the tomb.
Are honor if only reflection they be
Of the militant courage Of them who acclaim,
In the every day battle Of slaves to be free,
The strength and devotion that's linked with his
name.
So speak of him proudly, and lay him low sadly,
And turn from his ashes to finish the task
Of upbuildng the party he suffered for gladly
'Tis all of the honor he ever would aski

MICRO -MOVIES:-Scence is founding a new
Hollywood under the lens Of the microscope where
the movie stars all bacteria, living body cells
and red and white blood corpuscles and their dramas
are enacted not under the movie camera but under
the micro-moyie camera.
Many of the actions that take place in the micro
scopic realm are slow that the changes cannot
be observed by the eye. The micro-movie camera
however, can be set to take one picture through
the microscope every five minutes, and the film can
then be exhibited at ordinary speed (16 pictures
per second). Under such conditions a change which
takes place in the of five minutes would be
seen on the screen in about four seconds. This is
exactly the reverse Of the familiar "siow motion"
picture where the pictures photographed much
faster than usual and then also off at ordinary
speed.
The camera be adjusted for any speed of
photography from one picture in five minutes to
twenty pictures per second. The proper speed to
be used depends partly upon the magnifcation en-
ployed. The method is already giving excellent re-
suits in the microscopic study of living processes
DOUBLE STARS:-Many stars which seem to
have nothing extraordinary about them when OBJ
served by the naked eye, are to be twins when
looked at through field glass or telescope Some
times the companion star is much smaller than
the ether that il cannot be seen without the tee-
scope; sometimes both twins are of equal size but
so close together that they appear as one to the
unalded eye. Not all double stars are true doubles
Some are only optical doubles" that is the second
star merely happens to be almost in exactly the
same direction from the first STAR but possibly
billions Of miles behind it and in reality has no
direct relationship to it whatever True doubles
are actually real companions close to each other
and revolving about the same center
THE PARASITIC MALE:-Here's little fish
story The female "angler fish" gets its name from
the fact that it lives by fishing part of the
fin on the back of the fish extends into line with
little bulb on the end that acts as bait But the
males method of getting food is stranger yet. The
female is about four feet long-the male lust four
inches The male while still quite young, takes a
grip on the under side of the female with its law
The contact sets up local change in the female.

Through the Static

Considering the fact that thunder storm after thunder storm
 was flying around all day :,.,erday,
 playing tag under the grape vines and pushing each other into the brook at the south end of the pas ture acre. there was a remarkably small amount of static last eve lining Otherwise, there
 was plenty of it, that is. if you aren't considering anything else. We'll, Charley, let's get started. We'll never get anywhere. just fooling static was not so much. In fact, it was a fiat failure and the entire
 house walked out to the box office to get its money back. The static came in short, sharp cracks, making noise enough to jar loose cne's eye teeth. but the short, sharp cracks were not success at all. Later, the static got down to business and it was rather continuous, although not enough so to interfere with pro- grams. In short, the evening was
 failure, as far as noise was con- cerned. True, the static increased as the evening went along. but it took too long about it, and We retired be-
 fore anything really happened. Vol ume on all stations was good. There
 was some fading and, strange as it may seem. we didn't encounter any bloopers.
 WABC, New York, presented an- other program in the series, "A Night at Tony Pastors" These pro- grams arc really worth hearing. be- cause the atmosphere is that of 4o years ago and the acts and music take one back to the sos. The an-
