CHICAGO. H., July 5.-The United
States Building and Loan League,
which was organized 80 years ago in
Chicago, opened a new national head
quarters here yesterday as the initial
step in an expansion program which
will take at least five years to COM
plete.
full of members in 1893, and which now
has ! 200 member associations, with as
sets of more than eight billion dollars,
has had headquarters in Cincinnati for
more than three decades. The secre-
treasurer will remain in that city,
but a national Office will be located at
SO East Van Buren, street here under
the direction of II. Morton Bodflsh,
lately of the National Association of
Real Estate Boards staff, who becomes
the first executive manager the build
ing and loan body has had.
In announcing the leagues new ma
tional headquarters, Mr.. Hale gives the
following history of the building and
loan movement.
ION the evening of January 3, 1881,
several men assembled in an inn in
Frankfort, Pa, q suburb of Phila-
delphia. There, by the light Of an
oil lamp, was organized q business that
today has assets of more than eight
billion dollars and which pays divi-
dends and earnings of more than I'VE
hundred million dollars annually.
Needed Help Even Then.
"These citizens of Frankford had
found 1t difficult to finance home own
ership, so they established fund which
they converted into shares of stock on
which loans were made each to the
other for home building purposes. This
first building and loan association was
called the oxford Provident Building
Association of Philadelphia County.
1.-THE effort was entirely personal and
had to do with the individual home
building problems of the original mem
bers. For this reason the papers of
the organization provided that 1t be
terminated in 10 years time, the
period worked out then as necessary
for completing the payments on home
building loans.
"But the well meaning citizens of
Frankfort did not realize that many
changes can occur in a dozen years
and that 1t would be necessary to take
in new members from time to time
to replace those who died, moved away
or wished to sell their interests. The
new blood, brought in toward the end
of the 10-year period, of course, wanted
more time with which to repay their
loans, and so the idea continued and,
reorganzed, this original association is
still operating
From Pennsylvania the building and
loan movement spread into other
States rapidly and the national organi-
zation set up in Chicago in 1893 fused
together these local and State bodies
that all had one common interest, the
encouragement of home ownership"

George O'Brien, the diamond in
the rough, who attempts to polish
off a dance room floor, among other
feats, scores q decided hit with his
acting. The weakness of the play,
however, offers but little for tn
manifestation Of his we'll known
ability.
Helen Chandler, as q lonesome
daughter of the storekeeper, in this
story of timber and trappers of the
Pacific Northwest, presents an excel
lent portrayal of a girl denied all
beauty and life.
There are several good laughs in
the production, in the absurdities of
the plot and also when Noel Francis,
the banjo-eyed, hatchet-faced COM
panion of Lumberjack O'Brien, ap-
pears as a great comedian. Francis
fits his part to q '"T"' and his ex-
preston, verbal and facial, draws
many q justly earned guffaw from
the audience.

eEners" is that, ut the time of the
great and daring raid on the ham
let Of Alder Greek, the raid Is made
minus the usual screams, cries, horse
yellS and atmospheric palaver. The
marauding party behave themselves
with Self-control and ride into town
on their VillainouS mission in sober
fashion. And, although THE
Border Legion is at that moment
almost completely destroyed, there
are evident only a minimum of
death-curdling antics, the smoke of
battle being extinguiShed with the
same finesse that marked its debut.
The State of Idaho, in this case,
serves as q background for a band
Of outlaws, who seem, apart from

rather friendly lot. Jack Holt,
serving IS their chief. assumes q

politely and courageouSly dies in the
end so that Richard Arlen can run
of with Fay Wray. The story needs
no detailed recital, since, fashioned
on Mr.. Greys hrst-string model It
is merely q peg on which 10 hang
the explorations of the hero, the
herine, the out-and-out villain and
the bad man who, underneath, has
q heart OF gold.
The feminine element is taken
care Of by 100 per cent cast which
includes only Fay Wray. The pic
lures of her are something really
good TO look at and 10 remember.
Jack Holt seems better than Richard

"The Big House"

4 SECOND analysis of THE Big

Loew's Columbia for another week,
reveals the fact that the deficiencies
In story material are easily forgiv-
able through the inspired perform
ance OF Wallace Berry. As some
one has said, he never makes a
false move or gesture throughout.
Whenever there is danger of this
film slipping into tepid make-be-
lieve, a shot" of Berry is all that is
required to restore it to the original
fine tempo for which he is chiefly
responsible. He is, unuuestionably.
the backbone of the drama. Proof
of this is evidenced by the sudden
drop in intensity when Morgan.
Beery's right-hand man, escapes
from the prison and is pictured
somewhere in the hinterland. For
approximately IL minutes the CAM
era discards Berry in favor of Nor
gans love affair with a dazzling
but unnecessary blonde. And dur
ing those IL minutes, due not at all
to the failure of the actors, one NAV
safely close ones eyes and drop off
into the land of Nod. AS soon, how
ever, as Morgan returns to prison,
as soon as Berry Is shown stepping
across the white line to welcome his
brother convict, complete genuine
ness Is reached again, and until
Berry Is "croaked" there is never
another dull moment.
This is not to say that the other
actors concerned are at all deIin-
quent on their jobs. For the most
part, they are admirable. Chester
Morris is particularly natural in his
convict moments and forgivable for
wanting to introduce note of ro-
nance with the luminous Leila
Hyams. Robert Montgomery draws
his Characterization of the STOOL
pigeon carefully and dramatically,
OVERRIDING it perhaps a trifle at the
end and, although Lewis Stone is
statuesque and unperturbed as the
warden, he, alone, seems out of place.
For the first time a Laurel and
Hardy comedy must be labeled fat.
