Accident Was an Argument.

A pageant at Liverpool celebrated
the anniversary of the first successful
steam railroad in England, the LIVER
pool g. Manchester. It Is Just q
hundred years since this railway was
brought into operation. Not until most
Of 1t had been laid was It certain that
steam locomotives would be used.
Several Of the proprietors were in favor
Of horses.
On the opening day an unfortunate
accident took place to a spectator. but,
strange as 1t may seem, 1t was through
this accident that the steam lOcomo-
tives possibilities were instantly and
fully realized. George Stephenson
placed the wounded man on his engine
and conveyed him IS miles in Is
minutes. The speed Of about 80 miles
an hour was the highest ever accom-
plished until then in the history Of
mankind.

Defense of the Tonsils.

At a recent gathering Of physicians
in st. Louis there was held a SYM
postum on tonsils, and DR.. Cahall, Of
Syracuse, N. Y, took the stand in de-
fense of the tonsils. DR.. Cahall ad-
vocated Observation-Disclosures to cure in
lection and preserve the tonsils. DR.
John H. Vaughn, Amarillo, Tex, spoke
in favor of atrophying the tonsils by
radium treatment instead of surgical
removal. Surgical removal of the ton
sis, however, was advocated as the most
satisfactory method by other speakers.

Working in dark holes in the ground
would seem to be disastrous to health,
but this is not so in at least one i'm
portant case. Coal miners as a class
are exceptionally free from consump-

PASSING OF DWIGHT MORROW

With the passing of Dwight w. Morrow, Senator from New Jersey the Republican party has lost another of the elder statesmen and potential candidate for the Presidential nomination in 1882
 Senator Morrow was of the unapproachables identified with the national government No or group of could boast his control influence unless it those who, like himself subscribed to the finer qualities and virtues of American statesnanshp. This has been demonstrated many occasions when he called upon to give expression of his conception of the responsibilities resting upon the shoulders of men who guide the nations destiny.
 Emerging from the vortex of national high finance and industry Senator Morrow brought into the political
 life of the nation the ethical concepts upon which he had founded his through life and which led his reco milton as the capable of solving delicate inter- national matter between the oil interests of the United States and the Mexican government Contrary to the course expected of him. he adjusted the question entirely to the satisfaction of national dignity the financial and political interests involved and clarified an atmosphere fraught with international friction
 ne dld not ask his party to express his views but made them known with open frankness which all could understand
 The pity IS that have too few Morrows identified W1th naona life today His short span of action while 1dentled with national politics served to reestabish the premlse that great wealth may not warp mans concep ion of his responsibility his nation nor rear up ba r1er between himself and his less fortunate fellows

CONCERNING SOME
GREAT ACTING

II I we're asked what were the
two best movies in town this week.
I would answer-"City Lights at
the Palace. and, Emil Jannings in
''The Blue Angel with Marlene
Dietrich, at the Ohio.
Under normal conditions, this
picture, "The Blue Angel" would
have been shown as a first run pic
ture at the Indiana or Circle in
stead of the Ohio.
The only handicap that this pic
ture has is that the recording is
the most terrible I have ever heard
on the talking screen, and the act
ing on the part of Jannings is
among the greatest I have ever
experienced.
Go to the Ohio expecting the
worse recording of sound and the
spoken word you ever have heard
and also expect some Of the great
est acting you have ever seen.
I have seen, believe, every pic
ture of JanningS that has been ex-
hibited in this country, and I be-
lieve he has given the screen his
greatest Characterization in 1.-THE
Blue Angel" that of German high
school professor, aged and learned,
who falls for and marries a cheap
beer house entertainer, played with
dashiI1g and great touches by Miss
Dietrich.
The professor becomes just a
silly old fool over his cheap but
young wife. He even becomes a
clown, the foil to very dirty
magician.
The professor puts on the big
nose, the terrible wig and the big
collar. Here is the most pathetic
picture of a human wreck, mentally,
physically and spiritually I have
ever seen on the screen.
I have often told you that con-
sidered Bernhardt'S death bed
scene in Camille" as the greatest
on the stage. Just so I consider
Jannings' death in 1.-THE Blue An
gel" as the greatest and the most
dramatic I have ever seen on the
screen.
Here is great acting, great genius
wasted on a picture that has the
poorest of recording.
If you want to see Jannings at his
dramatic and his pathetic best,
then by all means go to the Ohio
this week and see THE Blue Angel"
This picture is not for children,
adults only.
East Lynne" is in its second
week at the Apollo.
Other theaters today offer: Rim
Tin-Tin at the Lyric, Riders of
the North" at the Alamo. 'Reduc-
ing" at the Terminal, Bubbles" at

at the Mutual.

own brother and brother had been
shell-shocked in the war and often
went haywire. Brother was crazy
over his unfaithful wife and the
discovery of her unfaithfulness
would have ended brother.
So Miss Chatteron as the sacri-
ticing wife and sister decides to
make a lot of whoopee herself and
does. She makes gin and whisky
drinking fool Of herself. She
probably would have gone to the
dogs if an artist with brains, played
by Paul Lukas, had not compelled
her to love him honestly. But she
carried on something awful. One
OF her stunts was to pick up sailors,
bring them to her great home and
then get down on her knees and
shoot dice with 'em.
Well, even that episode proved to
me that her ladyship was a Door
dice shooter. OF course, poor WHEY
couldn't keep on at this rate be-
cause her husband just had to pass
out of the picture.
So the producer and playwright
permits husband to get killed in an
auto accident while driving to a
quiet place with the wife of his
w1fe's brother in the car.
And this gives Miss Chatterton a
chance to act dramatically all over
the lot. And she does a noble Job
OF the self-Sacrificing female.
She makes 1t appear that she is
the one that is unfaithful, this SPAR
ing the feelings and probably the
brain Of her brother.
And so Ruth is free to marry her
artist friend only on the condition
that she appear as the unfaithful
party. He agrees, and that ends
the picture.
This movie has been well acted.
Well directed and well photo
graphed. Here IS adult entertain
ment done well by Miss Chatter
ton and Mr.. Lukas. Some of the
situations are rather silly, but Miss
Chatterton proves her point.
James Hall is saying good-bv at
the Indiana this week and he means
1t when he says that there are tears
IN his eyes. He about stops the
show Gin fact he does) by singing
a request number.
A Chinese troupe, contortionists,
and a dancing team, George Andre
and company, are splendid. Rest of
the stage show is just SO and so.
Now at the Indiana.

TOOK DOCTORS ADVICE
COLD GONE NEXT DAY
Many Here Find Way to End
Colds Overnight at Home by
Hospital Tested Method

BY taking the advice Of her doc
tor and using a method that has
relieved even the most extreme hos
pital cases, Miss Martha Willis,
like numbers of indianapolis people,
found the quickest way to get rid
of stuffy cold.
Miss Willis, for example. had
neglected her cold several days in
the hope that it would clear up of
its own accord. Instead, it started
settling in her nose passages and
chest. She began to feel feverish,
and the doctor was called for adj
vice, when pneumonia was feared.
Relief began almost immediate
ly when he advised double strength
doses of Ayers Pecto ala con-
centrated mixture Of wild cherry
terpin-hydrate and other ingre-
dents used in treating even the
most extreme hospital cases. She
felt its comforting warmth instant
ly-from her nose passages deep
down into her chest. In a few hours
