THE TEST OF A GOOD SUNDAY
SCHOOL.

Sunday Schools are judged by
many standards. Commonly people
form their opinion Of a school from
the building in which it is held,
from it's size. the order Of its ses-
sions, it's organization. it's popularity
in the community or by combina-
ton of some Of these or similar
standardl. There is only one su-
preme test Of a COOL Sunday School
and that is the personal test. The
goal of our work is spiritual. The
method is the evangelism OF teach
ing. The measure of our success ls
in terms of Christian character. Any
Sunday School is fulfilling its real
purpose to the extent that it is sue
ceeding in leading its members to
live lives of obedience and loyalty
to the will of ire Heavenly Father
and of loving self-denying service
t. men. II it is doing this, it is a
good school. If it is not succeeding
in this no matter how big it may
be how strong an organization it
may possess, or how complete an
equipment it may have, it is a fall
ure.

World Oil Combine
Planned Al Coming
Meet, Paper Ayers

LONDON, March 23.-(P-The
Daily Mail says today that the
worlds oil kings" at a forthcom-
ing meeting in New York expect
to make arrangements to enable
them to control the output and price
Of gasoline throughout the world.
The Mail says: The object of
the conference is to establish in
fact if not in name a world oil trust.
This scheme has been made posi-
bic by the recently concluded agree
ment with the reds at Moscow
which, at the expense Of the con-
sumner, has eliminated for the bene-
fit OF the petrol combing competi-
ton Of cheaply marketed oil from
the confiscated oil fields of Russia"
The Mail says the affair really
began with a mysterious meeting at
Achinacarry castle in Scotland last
year Of the three oil men, Sir Henri
Deterding, Walter Tagle and Sir
John Cadman.

Lon Clancy Voodoo
Doctor In West Of
Zanzibar AT Ritz

Lon CLANCY donned his first
false moustache in eleven years:
studied several days in a hospital
to emulate the actions of a para
lyzed man, and mastered the in
tricate art Of sleight of hand to
be able to perform the feats re-
qu1red by his latest screen role.
This odd form of preparation was
necessary in filming west Of Fan
zibar," Metro oldwyn- Mayors vi
VIA drama of the African iungles.
which comes today to the Ritz
theater, Weslaco.
Chaney plays the role of Dead
Legs Flint" a sinister white VOC
200 and former stage magician,
who p~aralyzed from the injuries he
received in a fight with the man
Who had robbed him of his wife's
affection, trails his enemy through
the wilds, terrorizing a tribe of
saveges with his strange magic"
ana eventually ACCOMPLISHING a
fearsome revenge that turns about
to destroy him.
In the earlier part of the picture,
while he is enacting the stage ma
glc1an, CLANCY gives an elaborate
sleight of hand performance, in
Guiding the sensational fire eat
ing" trick.
A notable cast surrounds CLANCY
In this production. Lionel Barry
more plays Crane" the enemy
whom he trails through the jun
giles. and Mary Nolan is seen as
the heroine. Warner Baxter plays
the romantic lead as the renegade
physician who finds regeneration in
his love for the girl.

Arthur's Comedians
Play Engagement At
Queen Through Week

A double bill is to be presented
at the Queen throughout the week,
featuring Dude" Arthur and his
comedians in a stage show, with
three performances each day. The
regular picture feature is to be
shown along with the stock pre-
sensations, as well as vaudeville
and novelty numbers offered by
the comedians.
The weeks bookings open at the
100 p. m. matinee Sunday, when
the picture program is to be fol-
lowed by Arthur's comedians with
Cheating Women" a three-act
comedy drama, by w. N. Paul.
This is a clever play, with an in
teresting story, as vel as a lot Of
comedy. 1t was written especially
for Arthur, with a part that fits
him like a glove.
Vaudeville will be staged between
acts, and there is also a musical
program to be presented before the
plays begin. New scenery and cleo
trlcal effects have been supplied,
and every attention will be given
to settings and other details OF
production.
The bill, both plays and pictures,
are to be changed three times dur
ing the week. Stage shows begin
at $3.50, 7:30 and $50 p. m. There
will be no reserved seats, and no
change in prices.

Hugo Masterpiece,
Man Who Laughs,
Showing At Texas

An e~nthralling story of ar amaz-
ing love, set amid a background of
rare SplendOr is THE Man Who
Laughs" which opens today at the
Texas theater.
This Universal Super-production,
co-starring Mary Philbin and Con-
rad Veidt, was directed by Paul
LEM, continental screen genius.
A love story as beautiful and as
sweet as anything ever captured for
the enjoyment Of audiences has
been built with clever hands into
this Victor Hugo story, following
closely, the action of the novel.
The eXaltation Of love and its
ability to overshadow the hardshipS
of life is ably portrayed. The story
concerns a little blind girl played
by Miss Philbin and her love for
Gwynplaine, a clown manned in his
youth by a fiendiSh surgeon who
carved a perpetual grin on him. All
the world laughs at his face ex-
cept the blind girl and he fears that
she would, too, could she but see
him. The story has a startling and
daring denouement.
Miss Philbin has never appeared
more beautiful nor played her role
with greater emotional finesSe than
in The Man Who Laughs" Con-
rad Veidt'S marvellous performance
will doubtless place him at the head
of American character actors, even
though this is but the third Amer
lean vehicle for this European ia
vOrite.

Prison Atmosphere
Is Reproduced For
Barthelnness Film

An interesting, if accidental.
touch of realism was to be found
on the First National lot during
the filming of Weary River" the
new First National feature starring
Richard Barthelmess which is play
ing to large crowds at the Arcadia
theater this week.
There were scores of extras in
prison uniform, waiting between
scenes, usually in silent groups.
such as are always to be found in
real prisons when rest periods are
being enjoyed. There was the SOM
Der makeup and authentic uniforms,
the blank walls Of the stages, and
the general lack of conversation.
Although there are prison Sc
quencies in Weary River" the
story does not concern itself chief
ly with this atmosphere. The mar
rative relates the adventures Of a
singing convict whose voice over
the radio wins for him the love Of
a girl and a new lease on life.

BLANK SHELLS FOIL
T WOMAN

PARIS, March 23.-Blank car
tridges, sold to jealous women, save
courts lots of trouble.
A Bordeaux arms merchant mi
tiated the idea several months ago
and since then a number of deal
ers have averted tragedies by good
guessing on women customers.
Auguste Grahay, a Paris dealer,
Is the latest gun-selling psycholo-
gist. When Madame Victoire Eau
come bought a revolver and asked
him to load it he noted her excite
ment and used blank cartridges.
Two days later she fired at Jean
Paris. She thought her markham
ship bad but to the police Grahay
explained how he baked blood
thirsty women without interfering
with business.
