OAA-OEAAN GAL1NAAO
In no other picture has there
been so convining a demonstration
Of the possibilities Of the Vitaphone
as in "The Desert Song" which
comes to the Rivoli Theater at San
Benito, Wednesday and which will
go down in screen history as the
first musical play to be transferred
in its entirety to the motion picture
screen.
Other "aH-talking" pictures had
already been made by Warner
Brothers, and also many which in
cluded singing, but when they un-
dertook the production Of "The
Desert Song they were confronted
with a new problem-the inclusion
of a large chorus for the ensemble
numbers, with its members grouped
all over the settings which consti-
tuted the scenes Of the play.
How well they met this situation
is indicated by the fact that the
chorus consists Of one hundred men
and women, and that they bring to

Next Place Named
Tuesday morning, Corpus Christi
was unanimously selected as the
next meeting place for the assembly.
The date has not yet been named by
the governor. Corpus ChriStiS invi-
tation was unopposed.
A resolution Of thanks was passed
Tuesday morning to the Rotary
AIMS, Rotarians and Boy Scouts Of
Brownsville for their courtesy and
hospitality during the convention.
The feature of the convention was
talks on club extension in names,
faces and places figured. 1t was
tacitly admitted by the RotarianS
that they were being out-organized
in new territory by the Lions club
but they took pride in the fact that
they did not use paid organizers. 1t
was also stated that the Rotary club
was stauncher, more exclusive and
stood up where other looser organ
iZationS withered.

CHICAGO, July 17.-P-Reigh

by century after century of gradual

Animal Completes.
The key to the theory seems to lie
in DR.. Clarks conception of animal
completes, present throughout crea-
| ton. The same tendencies to the same
variations are present in butterflies
and men, such, for instance. as the
| tendency toward big brain. But there
will never be a superintendent but
| terfly because the physical structure OF
a butterfly will not permit it.
DR.. Clark's theory takes the time
| element out of evolution and restores
the concept of an original plan in ma
ture which has been, and is still be-
| ing, expressed in life.
The theory can be summed up under
the following points:
/. An nth degree of potentiality for
variation in all life, the elimination of
which is circulnscribed by environment,
both external and internal. First the
potentiality is restricted by the physical
structure of the animal or plant itself
and secondly by the outside world in
which it must live.
2. There is no such thing as an
abnormality Every freak is a normal
expression of these mate tendencies OF
nature.
8. There is no first and last in life
forms. The amoeba and vertebrate are
coeaval manifestations of nature, the
apparent time element being introduced
| by environment alone.
4. This "rose-cut diamond evolu-
! L. - oh in nV1Hnnr0
! today as it ever has been.
Man. for instance, DR.. Clark points
| out, continually is throwing of sup
posed "abnormalities, such as micro
| cephalic idiots, which are merely mani
| fes tationS of the mate tendency OF lie
| to produce a new animal of that type
The new creature, If it were able 10 sur
Vive, would not be man or an ape, Dut
a new creation of evolution.
The new animal does not appear be-
cause the unacceptable idiot cannot
survive long enough to produce fam
| ily-or if he does, the successive offspring
cannot survive more than few genera
| tons. The idiot either dies because ne
| cannot make his way in the world or
is confined in an asylum.
Throwing off super Men"
Man also is throwing of super
men," he believes, who are at almost as
great disadvantage in the present en-
vironment as the idiot because, sub
consciously, the whole race conspires
against them to prevent their survival,
shutting them up in an asylum OF con-
ventions and restrictions.
A notable minor note in this new
concept of evolution, as explained by
DR.. Clark, deals with the original nome
| of life in the sea which is almost an
orthodox conclusion of science. He holds
| that vertebrate life probably rose n

would be so out of harmony with the
rest of the physical structure that the
organism would not function.
Ordinarily no antelope calf would pc
born with a neck as long as glrane
calf. Nevertheless, with an nth de-
gree of possibility of variation, sucn
would not be out of the question.
Under most circumstances such crea-
ture would be fragile freak, whose
chances of survival would be extremely
slim.
But at some time such a freak. or
pair of freaks, was born In an antelope
herd stranded in region of very poor
pasturage but with possible food sup
ply in the foliage overhead. Tnen the
long-necked freaks would live while the
other starved to death. Thus the theory
would assume that the giraffe, approx
mately as it. is today, came out OF the
antelopes by sudden jump. One day
there was no giraffe or anything In the
world approximating giraffe. The
next day there was one. There are no
intermediate steps. Clark says. The
okapi, according to this theory, is not
an intermediate experiment of nature IN
making a giraffe out of an antelope but
another freak due to the nth degree
potentiality inherent in life to throw
off long necks. In this case. however,
the neck was not long enough to pre-
vent the animal from surviving without
especially favorable circumstances, as
was the case with the giraffe.
Dismisses Element of Time.
The illustration of the three theories
of evolution by the example of the
giraffe is given by way of simplification.
DR.. Clark's actual evidence is concerned
with much obscurer abnormalities in
obscurer forms of life.
It's effect is to do away with the ele-
ment of time in evolution, to a very
large extent.
The most revolutionary implication
of the theory, in the light of present
controversy, concerns the descent of
man. DR.. Clark does not believe that
man had any manlike or apelike an
cestors or that human beings are de-
rived from the Simian family by ris-
ing gradient. His theory holds that
man appeared in the world suddenly
and unheralded, in practically the same
form as he maintains today, due to an
inherent capacity Of life to throw off
an apparent "abnormality" with an
enormously enlarged brain into an en-
vironment where it was able to sur
vive.
The theory would throw into the dis
card all the anthropological evidence
of pre-humans, as neutrality-suspicious. of
ape bones or bones of other abnormal
tiles thrown off because of the same
inherent tendency in life, but unable to
survive. Thus, DR.. Clark would say
man Is not a distant blood relative of
the gorilla necessarily, but both are
simply results of natures urge towards
giganticism in brains.
