Crowds Infatuated.

CALCUTTA, India, Dec. 8 (UP).
The greatest hostile demonstra-
ton yet encountered by the Sir
John Simon Commission occurred at
Cawnpore today when stones were
thrown in the commissioners cars
by rioters.
The crowds, made up of support
ers of a boycott against the COM
mission, yelled angrily and hurled
sticks and stones at the cars. Most
of the Indian shops were closed and
students quit work to join the dem
onstration.

cult work and hurled stones into the
cars in which were riding members

The streets were lined with silent

advice of the authorities, ventured
to enrage the already Infatuated
masses by showing themselves in
their automobiles in the streets.
The cars drove through the silent

in an effort to dispense them.

ChaIiapin GIorifies Soul
Music at Murat
Theater.
BY WALTER d. HICKMAN

ANOW wall SAAAG ANOs oH'
Those were the words of Feodor
Chaliapin, baSso, when he told his
audience at the Murat Sunday af-
ternoon that he was about to sing
"Mephisto's Song Of the Flea"
This singer has no printed pro-
gram of his numbers but he gives
those attending his concert a Book
of Songs" a total of 100 numbers.
Chaliapin has the theory that mo
one should listen to a song sung in
a foreign language unless he knows
the motive that inspired the COM
poser"
And this singer gives one time to
study the words of the song. While
the audience is reading up" on the
number he is about to sing, Chali-
pin looks over a score on the piano
or just watches the audience and
waits until eyes leave the book and
rest upon him again.
AS most of his numbers are in q
foreign language, this unique meth
cd of the singer is absolutely right.
And yet believe that on can catch
the great soul beauty of all of his
songs of the heart or even his comic
songs by just seeing and hearing
him.
Chaliapin is the only singer
know that has given me the i'm
preston that the piano on the
stage is more than just a thing to
keep him on the pitch. He makes

There are many, many people

store, Illinois and Washington SITS,

PLANTATION Of this surprising COM
pound. At the same time a never
ending stream of voluntary indorSe-
ments and reports are being re-
ceived from local people, describing
the remarkable benefits they have
derived from the use of this medi-
cine. Recently the Konjola Man
said:
This compound has proven
vastly more effective in thousands
of cases of ill-health than any pre-
viouSly known medicine. In this
new day of science the medicine
first must cleanse the system of all
poisons and this must be done
through the kidneys, liver, stomach
and bowels. 1t takes a liquid pre-
paration to do these things. In
making Konjola we selected the
juices Of twenty-five Of natures
plants and herbs"
One of the latest residents Of this
ment Of Konjola is Mr.. E. F. Cor
bit, 2O9 North Warman Ave, who
is widely acquainted in Indianapolis.
"Konjola is a wonderful medi-
cine" said Mr.. Corbitt, ct ener-

me up SO that I am feeling better

was getting worse every day and
I began to think that because of
my age, you see I am 80 years old,
7 would never be able to get my
health back again.
"Of course, the worst thing about
my case was the fact that I could
never find a. medicine to help me.
When I heard of Konjola I had
no idea it would really end my
troubles, but I made up my mind
to try it anyway and now this state
ment will speak for itself. 1 am
feeling like I never had sick day
in my life. Konjola has put new
life in my arms and since I started
taking this medicine all the aches
and pains are gone. At my age I
think it is remarkable that I can
enjoy such good health. All my
rheumatism is gone and haven't
been bothered with a cough for
some time. My wife and I both
claim it is the best thing that ever
happened to us when we found
Konjola.
"Tt is really a pleasure to indorse
a medicine which brings so much
health to suffering humanity"
The Konjola Man is at Hooks

CONSIDERING
"THE HARVESTER"

In all fairness to THE Harvester"
I must admit that the filming of
any of Gene Stratton Porter's
novels is a tough job.
There is SO much of the nature
stuff in her stories mixed up with
so much human melodrama that it
is difficult to keep the human ele-
ment on as high a level as the
nature stuff.
And 1.-The Harvester" is no excep-
ton to this rule. I have had some
time to think over this picture be-
cause I saw it at a private showing
prior to its opening at the Ohio.
1t is fair to state that many of
the nature scenes are beautiful,
butterflies and all, but the director
has permitted some melodramatic
scenes to damage the good impress
sion previously made by the nature
scenes.
1t seems to me that the direction
has been most incompetent. I know
that an effort was made to get

Dolores Costello by Douglas Gerrad,
suggested than Jane can save her
fathers place as president Of the
college by vamping good team. So
she does, and trys to keep each
man in love with her without
letting any of the others know
about it.
But Billy Bolton had fallen In
love with her and the story of her
adventuring comes out, but Jane
prevails on the boys to play in the
final game to save her father. Hi
ram Bolton comes from Europe to
see his boy play against the school,
which he is attending under false
name. To keep father from making
so much racket Jane locks him up
until the game is over. And, of
course, they will get married and
SO on.
A much better stage play than
the film variety.
On the stage is the presentation,
Havana" 1t is quite elaborate.
The main attraction is Wally Jack
son, who does some comedy dances
that are knockouts. Being prevailed
upon, he gives his conception of
the Black Bottom. He says he got
the idea at a hotel that was infested
with ants. And I believe him.
George Dewey Washington, who
is a very good Negro baritone, sings
"On the Road to Mandalay" and
LET a Smile Be Your Umbrella"
He has an excellent voice.
Dorothy Berke and Mario Naldi
have a dance that is pretty. The
Cuban Tango I think it is called.
Backing up the dances is the chorus
of the Boris Petroff Girls, who do
some clever work.
Charlie Davis and his orchestra
play an arrangement of Dream
Kisses" that is sweet. I thought
that the best number that they
played was Sorry" The presen-
tation is much better than the pic
ture.

the piano a part of his own being
and mood in each number.
Often, he swayed and beat time
with his little finger of his left
hand on his vest. One can easily
tell the mood of the song before he
starts singing by just watching him
get into the spirit of the number.
I am sure that he is the greatest
individual singing dramatic artist
in recital on the concert stage. That
is, he is the greatest of all that I
have heard. He puts more soul into
his work than any one have ever
heard in concert.
Proof of that was the way he
gave his audience mo rs" or 1.-The
Volga Boat Song" I really felt that
Z would feel the spirit of a nation
trying to push over the top the ship
of state. He sang this number, as
he did all of them, straight from
the heart.
His voice was splendid and he
seemed to enjoy the opportunity to
sing. He made Massenet's "Elegy''
one of the most soulful experiences
I ever have had.
When he wanted volume he had
it and plenty and when he wanted
a lyric echo it came just as easily
as the volume.
There was gigantic moving
beauty both in THE Two Gren-
adiers" and when The King Went
To War" or No. %.
His stage mannerisms are as in
dividual as his voice. He Is both
a great singer and a great actor.
And he can be a comedian as well,
as shown by 1.-THE Miller" and 1.-THE
Government Clerk"
I can say with ease that Ona B.

came up to the overwhelming art
istry of this man in song.

hour to shake off the effect Of this
concert.
Max Rabinowitch was at the pi-
ano. He is splendid both as SOLO

THE OBSERVER
MAY BE RIGHT

George Bancroft has made pic
ture that, in my estimation, is bet
ter than underworld" However,
this is different type, and deals
with a type of men that have been
portrayed on the screen but few
times.
1.-The Showdown" deals with men
of the more primitive emotions.
There is little love, but is great deal
of passion in these characters that

of it because other people just will
not let them alone. So they both
arrive at that point where they both
each other. Both do
a lot of suffering and emoting. I for
one can not take this picture
seriously and I can't see how this
brand of love is anything but a crime
But there is lot of license taken
on the screen these days and some
directors just love to make two
young people suffer when they get
in love. And they sure do lot Of
foolish suffering in this movie.
1t seems to me that John Barry
more has been called in to dignity
a very old story of how two young
people loved unwisely and did lot
of suffering. John and Dolores do a
lot Of fancy kissing in this movie
and some that is not so fancy. But
I should probably remember the
point-that the only crime COM
mitted by these two people was that
they really loved each other.
