Nathaniel Shilkret Makes Famous Musical
 Score

New York City.-Jazz, the step- child of the arts, is at last to find place in the hall of musical fame, not heaven, the concert hall, but the cinema palaces.
 Motion pictures, according to Nathaniel Shilkret the country's most famous musical director, have taken jazz under their wing and have given it the opportunity to be accepted as serious music. Heretofore our modern American music has been confined princi- pally to dance orchestras and a. few concert pieces. Now it is be- ing used to tell complete story. ] When MT. Shilkret wrote the score for 'Lilac Time" a Colleen Moore picture, he didn't at first realize that he was opening the door for jazz to climb the heights. His work revealed for the first time the possibilities of a score in modern rhythm. The story is told by music and by camera at the same time. "Jeannine I Dream of Lilac Time," the theme song for the picture, is remarkably developed |

THE SIREN" IS NOW
 SHOWING COLISEUM

Action moves rapidly in The Siren" which opened at the Coli scum Theatre yesterday. There is not duli minute in the produc- tion and at times the excitement reaches fever heat. It is one of those love stories which Illustrates how the other half of the world lives. The plot revolves around a pretty young girl. whose beauty, and personal charm make her pop ular with the social set in which she moves. Until she meets the hero love is an unknown emotion. Men, to her, were playthings, crea- lures with whom she conducted heated flirtations just to relieve the monotony of bridge, dancing, dinners and the usual round of so- cial functions.
 The girl innocently acts as decoy for a card sharp; but when she finds out where she has been tricked there is plenty of tense action, interspersed with thrills and red -blooded fight against the background of burning build ing.
 Dorothy Revier and Matt Moore are the two stars ably assisted by Norman Trevor, Otto Hoffman and Jed PrOuty.

worked at their classes on Friday, which is the Moslem Sabbath. Law Bars Religious Propaganda
 These certainly weren't serious offenses nor did the judge imply that Miss Sanderson had done any, thing particularly dreadful. She had. however. violated one of the laws of the land. a statute which prohibits the spreading of religious propaganda in the schools.
 The court therefore imposed nominal sentence of a fine of three Turkish gold pounds, about SIS, and a term of three days in jail, which he told Miss Sanderson courteously, she might serve at her convenience. Indeed he suggested that she might rest up" the three days in her room and call things square.
 Thus the world gradually becomes more tolerant and by the same token pleasanter place to live in.
