Sally whom John Nye never had

whose teeth CLEANED in q wide. flash

whose red heels twinkled madly
about the small square floor in the

She was no more like the demure,

But she never noticed him. She
smiled at the other faces that were
turned towards her. and she waved
her hand TO Davidson. who clapped
loudly and long when she was fin
ished.
She danced again. and then the
floor was given over to the diners for
ballroom dancing.
Sally drifted into the kitchen, light
and bright-colored as an autumn leaf

John Nye's eyes stayed upon the

shortly to the r~ound-eyed Hilda,

in-the-air sort Of pride il was.

her red lips came together with a
snap that would have done credit 10

With her chin held high she went
slowly across the room and van

Sally was frankly mystified. She
shrugged her shoulders-smooth and
graceful under the thin scarlet silk
Of her bodice.

asked. IN my aunts restaurant DO

DEAD BANDITS

Big Reward Will Be

Bank Officials

FORT WORTH, Tex, Nov. Is-Pl
Texas bankers seem 70 be agreed
that a dead bandit is worth more
than q live one, even though he Is
h~andcuffed, shackied and awaiting
trial in the criminal courts.
More than five hundred bankers Of
the state already have contributed

and not a single has declined
% contribute 70 a fund Of $4,000 be-
ing sought 10 be used as a reward
for the killing Of a bandit in the act
Of robbing q bank. The determina-
ton 10 post such d reward was made
By the Texas Bankers Association
after q series Of bank holdups in the
state.
Many OF the member banks IN their
replies commended the action Of the
organization, and while meme opposed
the plan. several made suggestions in
regard 10 how il should be paid.
One suggested that the reward also
be given in case an officer Of other
person kills the bandit hours after
the robbery is committed or many
miles away from the scene Of the Of
Tense. Several suggested AN electric
signal 10 be operated ty THE foot Of q

Such a c~ontraption could be used 20
catch the robbcr when he locks his
victims in a vault.
But W. N. Massie. president OF the
Texas Bankers Association has little
faith In trap doors or signals. He
also expressed a doubt whether tear
bombs could he used effectively.
There Is just one satisfactory
plan and that is to Kill the ~robber.-

protection Of the lives Of other per-

anywhere but in some definite local
ity, and while the new artist has given
up the futile attempt to clutter the
stage in Belasco- Stanislavsky fashion
with non-essential realistic detail, he
nevertheless suggests unobstrusively,
yet clearly where the action does take
place. Legers' settings for the film
"The New Enchantment," and Rabin-
ovitch's settings for "Lysistrata" are
cases in point.
3.-Functional. This is the most
important aspect Of stake design. 1t
requires that whatever is found on the
stage must have a definite function
in the play; that all superfluities be
vigorously excluded. All the plat
forms, levels, stairs, towers, ETC., that
one finds arranged horizontally, verti-
cally and diagonally on the stage are
there to allow an effective distribu-
ton of groups, to afford the actors
the possibility of free movement, up,
down, forward and backward in sever
al directions without impeding the ac-
ton Of one another, to keep in full
view Of the audience and at the same
time accomplish the maximum of ac-
ton in the minimum of space.
Danger of 0vercrOwding.
This aspect carries likewise its
dangers. For just as in attempting
to turn the stage into a work of art
the artist runs the risk Of turning
it into a museum, just as in trying
to indicate faithfully the locals of
the play he is likely to become to
initiative, so also In trying to give
functional value to his stage settings
the artist sometimes overshoots the
mark and fill the stage with stairs,
platforms and scaffolding that have
no earthly use. All this is simply
to say that not all modern stage

On the Screen
Polikushka

The interpretive ability which en-
ables the Moscow Art Theatre play
ers to carry across fine gradations
Of dramatic meaning to audiences
who are often ignorant Of their langu-
age has enabled them to make
photoplay which borders on great
ness. To express thought through
pantomine, to render the human body
infinitely expressive, to make hands,
feet, eyes and mouth conote failure
or confidence or fear, to linn in a
thousand shades of emotion without
any reinforcement from words-these
are the very essence of cinematic
art, and these are the things that
the Moscow Art Theatre players
have done to perfection in their adap-
tation Of Tolstoi's "Polikushka."
This classic in moving pictures

original intention of the music is lost,
since it was written to synchronize
with the machine movements in the
Leger picture. To those who have
heard and seen both creations the
music becomes more vital and under
standable.
American TO the Core.
In this composition Antheil discards
all the laws of counterpart, musical
accent and cadence and builds up
music that is American to the core:
crude, bombastic, contra-lyrical. 1t
has the vitality of the mythical pion-
GERS of the West, its main theme is
brazen and keyed in bravIlra style. 1t
is tuneful as snoring engine, as
melodious as a concrete mixer, as
soothing as factory whistle, but
as important, and as inescapable. If
at times it grew mountaineering
only to the stiff-shirts in the orches-
ira and the tier boxes, but also to the
seventy-five centers in the galleries,
well, millions Of workers have to
listen to this same theme, to the re-
peated argument of these engines all
the days of their life. Not only listen
but feed, nurse and cajole these
monsters so they may keep on play
ing the merry tune over again. They
cannot put on their ermine capes and
high hats and strut to waiting
limousine.
This music is the heart beat of the
machine; it is the music of our age;
it is realistic, initiative, phono-
graphic. If it doesn't "get" you it
is because you are saturated with it;
if it pounds away and leaves you cold
and flat in the end, don't blame the
music, lay your accusations at the
door of the progenitors of this age
and civilization. It's mission is not
to rehabilitate you and lift up your
soul to higher planes" In fact its
charm (if you ask for it-and Emusic
hath charm') lies obviously in its
great lack of it. The Christian
Scientists are never going to adapt
this music to their hymns!
Audience Is Show.
Next to the music the most inn
portant thing at this affair was the
audience in the galleries-at times it
was more interesting than the music.
This time there was no chance for
them to sleep. Few kept their seats
they were on their toes all the time
commenting, kissing, applauding,
jeering, stamping their feet, shouting
imprecations; they were alive! Moth
ing was lost to them. They partici-
pated every minute, while the dead
heads below played with their
platinum cuff buttons and shifted at
the perfumed bosoms of their con-
cubines. There was certainly some
thing symbolic, in the mass leaning
forward like one man and debating
whether the song emanating from
the stage and filling their ears was
not, after all, the bitter, bloodless,
unhuman song of the workers. They
knew that intellectual analysis and
stop watch reasoning will never de-
eide this point.
The critics next day smashed
dozens of typewriters in the rush to
condemn the prodigal for daring to
go agin the very old men Of music.
They forgot, however, that once upon
a time very great critic Chis name?

Evening star., 1927-09-20

Nine years ago in France, high rank
ing officers of the A. L. F., in the fore
front of the advance into the tangled
wastes of the Argonne. were faced
with a problem of conservation. The
lines were moving so fast toward Ger
many that war material was being
brought in on hastily laid down mar
row-gauge railways. and being pushed
within range of the German field guns.
Up on the rails came fiat cars loaded
with tank whlppets, Mark 5s. and the
big boys, the Mark IS. Up came Capt
Cyreno Brett. then widely known for
his antics with the numbering steel
steeds, and questioned the high COM
mand as to what should be done If
the enemy got the range of train
load of tanks
Should we move them back out of
range. or should I'VE take time to make
runwayS and unload them in the
enemy fire?" That was the question
before the officers in charge of the
American advance.
I'VE should do neither Brett said.
Put flock of hard-boiled tank guys
in the tanks and run them right off
the fiat cars. They won't be hurt by
a simple thing like a drop of feet
or so."
And to prove that it could be done.
Brett mounted fiat car and pro-
ceeded to drive a flock Of whippets
over the drop, front end first. then the
rear skid dropping down on the hard
packed earth at the side of the railway
embankment. The Army was never
faced with the need for doing the
stunt. but Brett had proven it could
be done.
The same Brett was ordered today
by the War Department to come to
Washington prior to September 80 TO
show what he can do with the tanks,
