ply the speed and positive action that
some demand. However. the story OF
the long and desperate struggle toward
free institutions furnishes example
after example of executive usurpation
and administrative autocracy.
In the days Of the Roman Republic
the powers of the legislative branch
were gadually weakened and usurped.
Augustus Caesar gradually took into
his own hands all of the functions and
powers of government. AS an execu-
tive, first one and another power of
the branches of the government were
assumed. When these powers had been
concentrated in his hands he became,
in fact, though not in name, the first
Roman Emperor Later the title was
assumed. At first there was nominally
A Roman Senate. but the real power
rested in the hands of the Emperor,
backed by Roman legions.
Commons Were Elected.
In the struggle between Charles l
and the British Parliament the King,
after a bloody war, was vanquished
and the Parliament seemed to triumph.

Out Of the tumult Of the revolution
emerged the figure of Cromwell. He
had conquered in the name of the
people. It was not long. however, until
his Ironsides invaded the halls of Par
lament and elected the members. The
commonwealth under Cromwell was
no less a tyranny than that of Charles,
whom he had displaced. and it was not
until the restoration of the Stuarts that
parliamentary government again came
into its powers.
Napoleon Bonaparte rode the waves
of the French Revolution to become
the head of the army. Upon his return
from the Egyptian campaign his SOL
diers dissolved the representatives Of
the French people IN Parliament as
sembled. In a little while the consul
became the Emperor of the French and
upon the ruins of the French Revolu-

as absolute as that of Louis XVI, whose
head had dropped into the basket in
the name of revolution and freedom.

Their background was Anglo-Saxon.
They were saturated with the tradi-

The ideals and aspirations of the

CONSTANCE BENNETT AND ROBERT MONTGOMERY AT
 NEW GARDEN THEATER

"Lovers Courageous" which was screened at the New Garden the ater yesterday and will be re- peated to-day is the most delight ful story ever to flow from the pen of Frederick Lonsdale, whose works we have become accustomed to associate with the ultra-sophis- ticate.
 In this new Robert Montgomery starring vehicle, produced by Me- tro- -Goldwyn-M Mayer, Lonsdale look at life with a certain charm that makes his story and characters poignantly appealing. His tale is one of youth and romance, ten- der and touching narrative, not lacking in typical Lonsdale humor that makes the picture pleasure to behold in these grim days.
 Not the least important in the sparkling film is the appearance opposite. Montgomery of Madge Ev- ans, erstwhile child star. A very capable actress, Miss Evans seemed quite at home in her role as the British aristocrat who dared to defy convention and follow her heart to the attic room of the struggling author.
 Constance Bennett looks her loveliest and gives her the best per- formance of her career in Lady With a Past" the RKO Pathe screen version of Harriet Henry's famous novel which is the com panion feature.

Film Stars Must Hang Together Or Separately BREAKING UP OF TEAMS" USUALLY ENDS IN DISASTER
BY DAN THOMAS NEA Service Writer

Hollywood" us hang to- gether or we shall most certainly hang separately" Benjamin Franklin.
 Just as these words. spoken be- fore the signing of the Declara- ton of Independence, applied then, so do they apply now to a great motion picture industry.
 Which brings us down to the fact that certain cinema teams. highly successful together, have been unable to make the grade separately. Some of these teams have been star-director combina- tions. Others have been two stars.
 Both Often Lose Out When teams have been split one of the parties occasionally has forged ahead. while the other dropped into obscurity. More often. however. both parties have dropped out of sight.
 The present Won Sternberg- Dietrich combination is what brings this subject to mind. Mar lene Dietrich has appeared in four successful films. one made in Germany and three in this coun- try. Won Sternberg has directed al of them.
 Many people out here. includ- ing myself. would like to see Dietrich work under the guidance of another director. We feel that new qualities in her would be brought to the fore. Perhaps. however. she would be a total loss.
 Liilian's Case
 A few years ago Metro -Goldwyn- Mayer was paying Lillian Gish about $S,000 a week. And not a single one of the pictures she made for them was a success. Yet when she was working under the .direc- ton of D. w. Grifiith she was one of the leading stars of the film in- dustry.
 Grifith also has sort of dropped out of things since they separat- ed. He has made pictures, to be sure. But none have equaled the old Gish films.
 Perhaps a reunion of these two would bring them back. Individ- ually they don't seem to get far. And I,eatrice Joy
 Leatrice Joy made her mark in the film world under the guiding hand of Cecil B. DeMilie.
 Then she left him, unhappy toward the end over his selection of stories for her. But she hasn't done thing since that is worth remembering, and now i< little more than memory to screen fans. DeMilie still is going-but not as strong as he once was.
