FEW days ago, a New York
~ clergyman complained that radio
a was keeping his parishioners
4 away from church. The same
complaints have been made, of
course, about golf, automobiles, Sunday
newspapers and other diversions, and If
church attendance is falling off-and
do not know whether it is or mott be-
came curious as to whether radio has
been definitely proven to be one of the
causes. Hence I wrote to four clergy
men of my acquaintance, asking for
their views. Only one agreed with the
radio helpful. Here's an extract from
letter from clergyman in Cincinnati,
an old friend of mine:
'On the whole, ! believe radio has
been helpful and stimulating in our
church work I. personally, have made
many radio talks, and believe that, by
this means, have been able TO arouse
interest in the church, and, in the long
run, bring more people to the services.
1t is quite possible that here and there,
among small churches which have
no opportunity for broadcasting. radio
may keep some of the congregation at
home. But, in my opinion, one should
examine a matter of this kind over a
P$AAONA
broadcasting great deal of sacred mu-
sic, We find it arousing large numbers
of people to civic and spiritual response
billtieS and elevating the taste of multi
tudes, not only in music, but in lltera-
ture and drama. In my opinion, what
ever the immediate and temporary as
pect may be, the radio must, eventually
help to build up the churches. The
more civilized the community, the
stronger the church.
Provides Splendid Substitute"
Then there is another detail to con-
slider. Being in New York one Sunday,
was slightly i'll at the home of friend
and unable to attend services. Through
the radio by my bedside came an elo-
quent and inspiring sermon by the Rev.
DR.. Fosdick. 1t seemed TO me that
my own efforts we're feeble compared
to this. I thought of this message
reaching hundreds of thousands of
persons, and it seemed to me that if
radio is keeping some people away from
church it is providing splendid sub
stitute. I do not mean to agree that
anything may be offered as an al
tentative for church attendance. but

BEAUTY STAYS

BIGAMY TRIAL
Disgrace Leads to Shooting
of Husband by 1928

BIZ United Press
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 26.-Maria
Teresa De Landa, Miss Mexico" at
1928 at the Galveston beauty con-
test, shot and killed her husband
Sunday because of the disgrace she
claimed he had brought upon her
when he was placed on trial for
bigamy.
The husband, General Noises
was accused by his first wife of
illegally marrying the celebrated
beauty.
Last week he was arrested and his
case. which attracted wide atten-
ton here, was under way in the
fourth penal court. His first wife
charged that she had two children
by him.
Apparently smarting under the no
toriety attracted by the case the
beauty, visited by General Vidal at
her parents home Sunday, threat
ened to kill herself on account of
the charge against him.
Vidal. according to the police,
laughed and apparently started to-
ward her.
The young wife warned him that
if he rose from the sofa where he
was sitting she would fire.
Vidal attempted to seize her re-
volver and the young woman fired
six shots.
The young wife was placed under
arrest Immediately and taken to the
police station where she told her
story between sobs.

OIL TO BRING

Takes Chance and Drills
Own Well.

BIZ United Press
HOUSTON, Tex, Aug. 26.-Mrs.
J. G. Baldwin of this city was a
woman who would take q chance.
She took the chance fourteen
months ago, which all her friends
said would prove disastrous, when
she staked $4,000 in an oil well.
Today, the well has been swabbed
and promises to bring her for
tune.
Eight years ago, Mrs. Baldwin's
husband, an old time oil man, died.
His wife decided to carry on with
the work, but in order to properly
equip herself, she studied geology
two years in Columbia university,
New York. She returned to Hous-
ton, found a site near Cypress,
twenty-five miles from here, and
started drilling.
She was her own superintendent,
directed every activity and decided
all the questions needed to be set.
tied. She prospected with her own
money and claims to be the only
woman who ever drilled an oil well
without aid.

trained by his military father to
carry on the fighting name of the
house. When he gets his chance to
take his company to Africa, he gets
tip that war is near and that his
regiment is to get marching orders
He resigns under the plea that he
is going to get married and that
all is peace. A fellow officer finds
the message which tipped the young
officer to the fact of war. Then his
three military buddies and fellow
officers send him three white feath-
ers with their cards attached. This
means that he is expected to com
NIT suicide because he is a coward.
He admits it to his future wife and
instead Of giving him just the air
she adds the fourth white feather.
Then his father not to be outdone
gives his son a revolver that never
misses. Father then passes on and
the son determines to give back the
four feathers to the senders by do
ing brave deeds.
The disgraced man follows the
troops to Africa and we are then
concerned with him rescuing the
three officers from the savage hands
Of the natives.
These scenes have been wonder
fully photographed and directed
Especially in the escape scene when
the natives set fire to the grass, thus
driving out the monkeys, the hippos
and other wild animals. These
scenes are thrown on larger screen
than is generally used.
The shots showing the monkeys
making their escape from the fire
are great comedy shots and the
hippo scenes will be remembered.
But worked through all of these
native scenes is the melodramatic
story Of our hero who went coward
and then became drawer than an en-
tire army.
Personally, I believe that if more
animal shots had been retained
-Four Feathers would have been a
better picture than it is, although it
is one Of the best pictures of its
type.
IN addition TO Arlen. the other
leads are taken by Fay Wray, Will
liam Powell. Give Brook and Noah

really employs hundreds of natives
and camels.
The picture is a fine example of
what fine photography and master
full direction will do. This picture
easily ranks as the outstanding film
offering of the week, that is, in my
Judgment.

feet again as a whole man. The
trouble which this type of story is
that nearly all the suspense is cree
ated by waiting for the big scene
when it is necessary for the hero
to walk again and take the gal of
his dreams in his arms. 1t is quite
a large bit for the sob stuff and
rather cramps the style of any &C
tor. The story is by Tristram Tup-
per, a novelist who knows how to
create dramatic background. The
director has made noble effort to
capture this drab background of life
on run down farm, then to the
battle fields and then back to the
farm.
The really great piece of acting is
contributed by Hedwiga Reicher. a
splendid character woman, as Ma
Tucker, the cruel, inhuman. harsh
mother of Mary Tucker, played by
Janet Gaynor, Ma Tucker is one of
the goose women" characters and
her daughter is certainly an ugly
and a dirty duckling before our
crippled hero. played by Farrell,
teaches her the beauty of a clean
body and a beautiful mind.
The two oddly mismated lovers
triumph over their handicap as
their beautiful love gives them a
marvellous understanding of life.
The director has had trouble in
lifting the background to the realm
of realism. This cruel, harsh down
on the farm stuff is hard to make
realistic in these days of radio pro-
grams, automobiles and the like.
So be your own judge as usual
about this one. but to my way of
thinking 1t does not equal the
