THE PARABLE OF The
POUNDS
Lake Io:71-26

In
Req. Samuel d. Price, DID.
A good story with real point is
effective in its teachings. Jesus
,ften made use of a parable ito drive
nome the truth. A parable can be
defined as AN earthly story with
heavenly meaning" This 1arne it
s about a man of means who went
awav to receive an additional anheri--
lance. Before leaving he handed
over a pound, about $l7 IN Ma1,e, to
eaoh Of ten servants, and told Ghem
to make use of the money utrtil he
returned. 1t was mutually u@der-
stood that there would be am .ac--
counting at that time. a pound
tl,er, represented pay for 100 days
of nnskilled labor, and was IAN
amount to command real attentlsarl.
We NAV idle time away or De
h,sy meanwhile, but at last the hca,r
comes when we must tace the audi
tor. When the noblenan returned
from the far country he asked for
an accounting from the ten who had
been tested by their use of the re-
voIvine fund. All do not have the
same ability and equal results ought
not TO be expected. A bit of under
standing and sympathy would help
the ploddee who may be equally
faithful as the one who can produce
the larger result. The first man
presents ten pounds as the result
Of his trading and is heartily com
mended for his ability. The next
man declares that his stewardship
resulted in a gain of FIVE additional
pounds, and he too is praised.
The last man to meet the auditor
rones with excuses only as he re-
turns the original pound without
anv increment. Fear is the reason
that he gives for the failure to even
, ,ttempt to accomplish anything. His
. lack of energy shows that he is un'
worthy of any advancement and he
is further distressed by utter con
demnation.

Main Street Looks at Broadway
BY OBSERVER"

The Kiss
Coming to work the other morn
inc were two~office workers. They
reached the subway terminal at
Times Square and rode Up on the
escalator, which supplants stairs Tor
the ffty-foot climb. Halfway up.
the girl, after little chatting, leaned
down and planted kiss lightly on
t!t.e cheek of her blushing partner.
About a dozen or more witnessed
the little comedy and, as became
sophisticated New Workers, grinned
and let it go at that.
Curious City Crowds
People in the country who listen
in on party telephone lines have
their counterpart in the big crowds
that always assemble here wheL
anything unusual occurs. Hundreds
line the sidewalks when new sky
scraper is going up, watching every
thing from the first scoops to the
final hosting jobs that carry the
eye almost up to the clouds.
One wonders when city people
find time to do their work. Any
day one can go into a moving pic
ture theatre during ordinary work
ing hours, and find the place crowd
ed with men. =
Rainy days, in particular, find the
show houses crowded, the usual
number of spectators being aug
mented by statesmen who always
look on a wet day as a poor one in
which to approach a prospect, and
properly so.
Still, there is no excuse for the
loahng one notices on bright days
in this city.
Cruelty of "a City
One of the most pitiful tragedies
uncovered here in a long time oc-
curred the other day when a woman
of 68 was freed on a charge of shop
Fitting, her second offense of like
character.
She is the wife of former stock
broker, a Princeton graduate who
lost his all in a crash five years
ago, and since then has been living
from hand to mouth. The husband
testified that until recently, he had
|fbeen able to @eke out enough to
enable the couple to live at second
rate hotels, but even this poor sup
port had vanished.
F4e told how the couple had been
forced to spend their nights in hote.
lobbies and railroad station waiting
rooms. Finally his wife, driven to
desperation, stole $50 coat from
a department store.
Moved by his story, two of the
three justices who heard the case
voted to give the woman . sus.
pended sentence.

MAY FESTIVAL
**:s;k#;y:s

Wednesday afternoon the high
school athletic grounds were trans
formed into springtime bower,
while some two hundred or more
local school children disported be-
fore their May Queen, Miss Helen
Karam, in May fete.
From the very smallest kindergar-
tners, performing for the first time
before an admiring public, through
the group dances and solo work,
the festival showed that hours of
patient drill on the part Of grade
teachers and supervisors had not
been in vain, and tine entire affair
was probably the most successful
ever held here.
A crowded grandstand and large
circle of closely parked cars testi-
fled the interest of Nogales people
in school affairs. Jewell Temple,
as flower fairy, opened the pro-
gram with dance and proceeded to
touch with her magic wand Sleep
ing daffodils, daisies, roses, clover
pansies, violets and butterflies, who
in turn executed happy dances
preparing the entrance of the may
Queen.
A colorful procession accompanied
the queen to her throne, buglers
flower girls, soldiers, pages, maids
of honor, ladies and gentlemen Of
the court, jockeys and gardeners
and provided entertainment for hel
in dances. Solo numbers were CIV
en- by Cecilia Temple and Eleanor
Des Saulles. Before crowded court
now entered the parade OF nations
Dressed in representative costume
each group danced a folk dance
Colonial dances skillfully executed
even brought an involuntary sway
to the onlookers.
Miss Clara Morris and G. E. Cay
lord had charge of all music, Miss
Ward and Miss Wilson designed anc
supervised the making of the COS
TUNES, with the grade teachers
while the folk dances were super
vised by Miss Dixon and taught by
the teachers of various grades
Weeks of the most pa1nstak1nf
practice preceded the festival, ane
the result was such that those te
whom the preparation meant mos
labor, were gratified, while theil
praises are being loudly SUNG by al
who attended. The riot of colol
and rytf1n fittingly us1ered in ou'
enjoyable springtime, and the NO
gales schools have again scored &
triumph in showmanship amt some
thing more.

Skinner s Test Fails

Announcement that Bebe Dan
iels will be the star of Balzac's
Honor of the Family can be
construed as mute evidence that
Otis Skinner failed to take the
talking picture hurdle.
One of Otis SINNERS greatest
stage parts was that of PHILIPPE
Bridau, in Honor of the Family"
His first entrance in this play
(where he slams down his cane
with terrific force to frighten and
impress the schemers) has been
called the most effective entrance
in the whole range of the drama
It is a fair assumption that Holly
wood will do some rewriting and
make this fascinating and shabby
Napoleonic Colonel an incidental
figure.
SINNERS try at the talkieS was
as Hail, the beggar, in "Kismet, "
his greatest stage triumph.
Warner Brothers spent a lot of
money on the production, but it
was a disappointment. Skinner's
high pitched voice is not ideal
for the microphone, but he was
not helped much by less than
expert screen dialogue. The orig
inal announcement had Otis
Skinner as star of Honor of the
Family" Today Bebe Daniels
gets the big type.

Famous Boy Pianist
Will Appear at Fox

Washington's famous boy
pianist, Glenn Carow, will be
featured at the Fox Theater on
the new bill starting Friday.
Glenn, who is 16 and a student
at the MacFarland Junior High
School, recently scored an indi-
vidual triumph as soloist in the
Christiani Orchestra when that
organization won a silver trophy
cup offered by the Fox during it's
Music Week programs.
The son of Mr.. and Mrs. John
J. Carow, of 1000 New Hampshire
Ave. N. w., the boy has been TAX
ing piano lessons since he was six
years old, and has been winning
honors almost ever since. At the
Sesquicentennial Exposition at
Philadelphia, when he was only
IL years old, his playing won first
award among all students up to
% years old from the District of
Columbia, Virginia, West Virginia
and Maryland.
During his weeks appearances
at the Fox he will play the Con-
certo in G Minor, accompanied by
the Fox Music Masters, directed

Chester Norris To
Be Kept Very
Busy
By HARRISON CARROLL

Copyright, 1881, Premier Syndicate)
HOLLYWOOD, June 17.-Look-
ing ahead the future holds little
aside from work for Chester
Morris.
With THE Corsair" going into
rehearsals, Roland West, the
actors manager and director,
informs me that he has two
forthcoming stories. one of which
will be Chester's next picture.
According to the director,
Love in Chicago" by Charles
Walt, and 1.-TWO Years Before the
Mast" a Richard Henry Dana,
jr., tale, are ready for produc-
ton. Since he owns the rights
to both he is not hurrying a
decision, but one is to be fol.
lowed by the other.
If Love in Chicago" is the
choice Morris will play a young
man who rises in power and poll
tics in Chicago. If it is the sea
story he will portray the authors
own experiences in shipping on a
New England boat and sailing
around the Horn and up to Cali
fornia.
Although his activities for the
next year are outlined, Chester
need not worry too much. There
will probably be considerable time
between pictures as West heartily
indorses cruising these days. Espe-
cially now that his new yacht is
launched and performing per.
fectly.
Casting for THE Corsair" is
under way, and West tells me it
will have five principal girl roles.

More than at any other season
the Sunday programs Of hot
summer become annoyingly indi-
gestible. For some reason, the
most likely being a deadly fear
of Kansas purists, broadcasters
have held it a sacred custom, If
not a duty, to fill. the networks
on Sundays with a type Of enter
tainment that seems calculated
to drive the listener to the beach
or the open fields.
1t requires not only a rldlcu-
Ious loyalty, but much persever'
ance and endurance to sit out a
Sunday before the loudspeaker
without deserting the chain
broadcasters for those midget but
independent stations who do not
live in deadly fear Of those who
imagine q Sunday broadcast
should consist of talk.
Very wise, indeed, are the
sponsors who select Sundays for
purveying entertainment Of the
type that characterizes the week
day. But these are all too few
to satisfy the majority Of the

ENSNS" S'NGSA6N well, ouP-
pose there is another side to
it, but I reviewed the picture
from the standpoint Of audience
reaction and drew conclusion
that the authors had piled it on
a bit thick in order that the dis
trict attorney might win in his
war against Nick, the gambler.
Possibly it may suit the censors,
but audiences, too, have their
opinions. And so, also, critics.
In Pennsylvania the censorship
board made. 81 "cutS" in the
public Enemy" The emasc.lla-
tion ruined the continuity and,
according to exhibitors, made it
a pitifully weak picture. Another
feature that suffered from the
pruning scissors was Marion Da-
vies' "It's a Wise Child" There
was little point to the story
when the deletions were COM
pleted in Pennsylvania. In Wash.
ington, "Wise Child" uncenSored
print, drew the fourth biggest
week in the Palace Theater's his
tory. And it played Street
during Holy Week, admittedly
the hardest seven days, IN the
theatrical year.
incidentally The Front Page"
is presumably set in mythical
kingdom for the very good rea-
son that there are Illinois censors
and they are tough individuals
to please, particularly with un-
derworld features or any that
appear to reflect on the Windy
