MAKING TARGETS
 OF SCHOOLS
Officials Have Decided That the Abuse Must
 Come to an End
TIME TO CALL HALT

It is only reasonable to believe that parents would like to rcgu- late the conduct of their children so that they would not be started off in life with police court rec ord. Even though the offense might not be serious. it IS quite q humiliation to a young man 10 explain why he was arrested. The question is asked of applicants for positions on the police and fire de- partments and other places where character is one of the requisites for appointment.
 For this reason, and many others that might be mentioned, 1t does seem that parents would keep close eye on their children so that they could not be charged with smashing window glass In the schools almost at their own doors. This business has been going on for years. The school officials would like to have the abuse stopped without taking children into court, but things have reached q point where such q step is abso- lutcly necessary. and from now on parents must not be surprised II an officer calls at the house any day in the week with 4 warrant for the arrest of a boy whose parents had no idea that he was il member of the window smashing gang. It is quite q shock to any family to hear of such q complaint, but II the practice continues, there will be more arrests for this onensc fro mnow on than ever before. Something has to be done to pro tcct school property. Letting or lenders off by having them pay for the damages is q generous act on the part of the courts, but If the dcviltry is continued the courts may hand out more severe gen tcnccs
 Bows should be warned not 10 associate with those who throw stones at school buildings or other urGDcrtV public or private.

HOLLYWOOD, January 81 (N.A.N.A0.
The first silent picture to be shown
after two years of talk, Charlie Chap
Inns City Streets is one of the finest
pieces of work this comedian has ever
done and one of the best evenings en-
tertainments you could imagine.
A group of some so parsons who pre-
viewed the picture Thursday evening
sat rigid for the first few moments.
waiting for the absence of talk to shock
them. After a bit they relaxed and sat
back to laugh and cry with the funny
little man who has brought pantomime
to its highest art. Talk was forgotten.
The years of dialogue might never have
been. AS the reels unfurled one realized
that here is q medium which Chaplin
fills to highest perfection, and he is a
thoroughgoing artist in recognizing that
fact and adhering to his medium.
city Streets" is a bit different from
any other Chaplin film I have ever
seen. There is more satire in it and
greater depth of subtlety than his pre-
Vious pictures have shown. This was
to be expected, for the Chaplin char
acterization has been deepening through
the years.
Talkies are satirized in the opening
reel of City Stress" The picture, in
formed with music and sound effects
throughout opens with the unwilling Of
a big public monument. The mayor Of
the city, the somewhat oessicated lady
who unveils the statue and the micro
phone announcer are the only voices
one hears in the entire picture, but they
are meaningless sound only-a slap not
only at talkies in particular but at pub
lie speeches in general, of which we
usually get merely an unintelligible
Choctaw.
The social system is magnificently
satiriZed in the person Of an eccentric
millionaire, played by Harry Myers, who
knows the funny little man with the
cane and trick derby only when he is
drunk, and who haughtily orders the
butler to throw Chaplin out of the house
when he sobers up. This gag goes on
through the entire picture, and is the
source of much of its turn of plot and
its priceless humor.
The servile friendliness of Chaplin s
Characterization is seen at its best. The
humor is played along the shadow line
of pathos, but only Charles Chaplin
could do this story and put over the
varying emotions he conveys.
The most poignant incident-and an
other highly satirical moments that
in which Chaplin, who has been given
a Rolls roadster by his inebriated friend
in a moment of drunken generosity.

pedestrian whose cigar has Just about
