A Verg Ancient FaILGcy

UT is extraordinary that the Christian church has
L permitted the survival of the legend that the
Jews killed Christ. The evidence of the gospels is
all against it. Only moment ago turned to st.
Mark at random and hit upon: And the chief
priests and the scribes sought how they might take
him by craft and put him to death. But they said,
Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of
the people"
Where, then, was this rabble which, according
to the popular conception, bore down the will OF a
well-meaning Roman governor by crying, Cruelty
him.? The gospels clearly indicate that the arrest
was sudden and secret, the hearing was private and
the crucfxion carried through with incredible
rapidity Jesus was dead before many of His fol-
lowers even knew that He had been arrested. The
so-called multitude which cried out to PLATE was
composed wholly of the members of the small clique
surrounding the high priest.
Even the Gospel of ST. john which goes furthest
in presenting PLATE eager to release Jesus quotes
the members of the clique saying 1T is not law
full for us to put any man to DEATH.
Pontius PLATE, Roman Governor, was not the
man to concede to the people of his province rights
which they themselves did not even claim The
charges brought by Caaphas were convenience
to a man whose office compelled him to be ooth
soldier and politician.
PLATE had done his part by killing the Saviour
and LACE the blame elsewhere. In fact, the hear
ing is no trial at ALL since both judge and accuser
are determined that the defendant shall die For
that matter, Jesus himself is convinced OF the
necessity of His martyrdom.

Placing the Blame

DUT there is fencing between the clique and the
- procurator. The followers of the high priest
make the accusation that Jesus has advised His
followers not to pay tribute to Caesar. On account
of the popularity of Jesus with the Jews they want
to make it appear that He has been killed by Ro-
mans because of rebellion against Rome. PLATE is
not willing to take this responsibility. In fact, no
sooner has the charge been made than he replies,
81 find no fault in this man."
1t was within the power of the Roman governor
to throw the whole out of court That was
not his desire By pretending neutrality he spurred
the high priests party to make its real accusa
ton of bIasphemy And so successful was his con-
nvance that in more than 1000 years the mask has
not been completely torn away.
After the crucifiXion PLATE could afford once
more to be candid and brusque in his dealings with
the high priest, whom he neither feared liked.
Look at the twenty chapter of st. Matthew
and note the episode in which the chief priests
come to ask that guard be placed around the
sepulchre. Pilates reply is brief, Eye have WATCH
go your way; make it We cam.
Plate has done his part by killing the Saviour
of Man. In the eyes of the Roman empire the
resurrection would be local issue.

LONE NIGHT OF LOVE"
GOES INTO FIFTH WEEK
But, According to Metropolitan
Officials, These Are the Final
Seven DAYS.

Continuing her unintentional cam
paign of doing more to advance the
average Americans appreciation of
opera in a short time than the Metro
politan Opera Company could do in
40 years, Miss Grace Moore is still
breaking altitude records for note
hitting and attendance records and
for most everything else as "One Night
of Love" manages to keep all other
films out Of the Metropolitan for a
fifth, and what is said to be- final,
week.
BY demonstrating that an opera
singer doesn't have to be foreign, fat
and 40 and that there is sufficient uni
versal appeal in such an emotionally
powerful aria as the one Miss Moore
sings from Madame Butterfly" to
blast the most staid movie-goer right
out of his seat, the film succeeds in de-
elevating the idea of opera from its
too high plane to within grasp of the
! average person.
Other than that, "One Night Of
Love" is good cinema. 1t is humorous,
entertaining, well presented and ex-
cellently acted.

1894 MODEL OF "MERRY
WIDOW" AT THE PALACE
Picture With All the Old-Time
Tunes Is Held Over for
Second Week.

Whatever the old Merry Widow
was 1--WE weren't one of those FORUM
ate enough to see it,, it's hard to
imagine it outsparkling the present
edition, now going into its second
week at the Palace.
The first edition, we're sure, didn't
have Lubitsch directing, and Lub-
itsch's direction makes the present
edition one of the most finely turned
pictures from directional stand
point. Lehar's beautiful melodies
have lost none of their lifting rhythm,
despite new words, and the waltz sets
one swaying to its rhythm as soon as
the violins take up its strains.
Chevalier, as the 1884 model Danilo,
scintillates through the picture from
love to love, and Jeannette MacDon-
aid is beautiful and witty widow.
The king. George Barber, with the
troubles of Marshovia on his head,
manages to be as ight-hearted as
light headed, and his ambassador to
Paris, Edward Everett Horton, plays
one of the outstanding parts of his
stammering, hem m-andhaw-ing" ca
reer.
Knit together by Lubitsch, who can
indicate SO delicately that a spade
really is a spade without being so
mundane as to say it, the parts blend
into such gay. twirling evening of
entertainment that we're still laugh
ing over the fortunes and misfortunes
of the tiny kingdom, and probably will
so long as memory continues to func-

Glimpses of Stage Folk
in Washington.

BUDDY ROGERS, the ebony-haired
- screen star who Travelled the road
from orchestra leader to matinee idol
and back again to a combination OF
the two, practically drew his career as
a musician out of hat. When some
enterprising souls of Olathe, Kans.,
organized boys band years ago, fond
parents of the future Sousas each con-
tributed to an instrument fund. After
all the necessary paraphenalia had
been purchased, the pieces were dealt
out more or less helter skelter. A few
surprised hopefuls found themselves
possessed of flutes and piccolos. One
lucky boy got the drums. And young
Charles Edward Rogers received a
trombone approximately his own size.
After a few trying years during
which his parents learned all there
was to know about sour brass notes,
he became unusually proficient with
hts instrument. On going to the Uni
versity of Kansas, he took 1t along,
organized his own band and played
up and down fraternity row. In the
process he acquired moderate facility
on the piano, guitar, saxophone, clarl-
net, accordion, drums and trumpet.
A busy young man what with all the
musical study and dances, he never
theless found time to win college
boxing championship, fulfill his duties
as fraternity member (Phi Kappa
Psi) and take the lead in the senior
class play, Clarence" That per-
formance led to his selection for study
at the Paramount school, eventually
to a screen contract.
In silent days he was starred in
"Wings" and lot of other films you
may remember, more recently was on
the stage in zeigfeld's "Hotcha" and
In the picture, Take Chance"
He is 6 feet ] inch tall, an extraor-
dinary height for a film player, and
for some strange reason wishes he
we're an inch taller. He speaks Span
ish, owns two sport cars, dog named
Baron, likes Paul MUM above all other
actors, prefers to see and play heavy
drama rather than comedy, but para
doxically prefers Noel Coward among
all modern playwrights. His engage
ment at the Earle this week4 one Of
a series which have kept L. on the
move in recent months, buthe seems
to have the temperament Of born
trouper, continues to eat huge break
fasts and steak and pie for dinner, is
not at all disturbed by the exigencies
of playing from town to town.
He is, incidentally recognized as a
top-notch man with slide trombone

"JUDGE PRIEST" BACK
AT COLUMBIA THEATER
Cobb's Story of Kentucky, With
Will Rogers as Star, Again
on F Street.

The band plays Dixie" the Con-
federate vets march in their annual
reunion, Stepin Fetchit gets a COON
skin coat and Will Rogers wears a
linen suit and behaves as usual in
Irving S. Cobbs Judge Priest" which
is back at the Columbia this week.
There really isn't a great deal else
to the film except one all-important
thing atmosphere. Somehow the
players-and there are quite q few
swell characterizations-the script
writer's and the celluloid combine to
reveal a distinct air of the South as
Mr.. Cobb found it right after the War
Between the States mot the Civil
War, We are told.
The yarn-spinning, cawn-likker
drinking. warm-hearted cronies of the
homeSpun Kentucky judge head the
list of atmosphere creators Every
character, to the old rummy whose
craftsmanship for cuspidors is un-
canny, is pleasantly real. The ebony
plated Fetchit continues his mumbling
ways as the ''jedge's handy man. and
Anita Louise, one Of the screens pref
tiest juveniles, lends her own par
ticular charm.
Despite his natural slow Southern
mannerisms, Mr.. Rogers somehow
isn't quite as good as he should be in
the title role Perhaps it's because he
continues to be more Will Rogers than
Judge Priest.
Credit for grand climax goes. in
stead of to MIR. Rogers, to Henry Wal
thall, who puts over as dramatic and
moving a tale as ever came from
witness stand to clear former crimi-
nal and end everything on a happv
key-with Stepin Fetchit and his
coonskin coat leading the band that's
playing Dixie"

Saturday night is the time appointed
this year in the film colony for old
''buddies" to get together and talk
things over. And in these meetings
present day standards will be forgot
ten. Every one goes back to the place
they occupied in 1918, and likes it.
One of the most interesting of these
groups is the Photographic section of
the Signal Corps, who took a solemn
vow, when the armistice was signed,
to meet each year thereafter in Holly
wood no matter what they were doing
at the time.
AL kaufman, studio executive, was
captain and commanding officer of this
unit during the war. Wesley Ruggles,
| director, was in the group, as were
Otho Lowering, film cutter; Farciot
Edouart, camera man, and j. Wooster
Lambert, now a millionaire sportsman
aviator, who will fly to Hollywood to
be with his friends again.
The only comrade missing from the
unit this year is George Hill, the di-
rector who recently ended his own life,
and who served as lieutenant under
kaufman during the war.
Kaufman and his men will drink a
silent toast to the memory of George
Hill-as a requiem to the memory OF
| a departed comrade.
Warner Brothers Studio is busy with
preparations for "A Midsummer
Nights Dream" which Max Reinhardt
will direct for them. From the mo-
ment the picture was actually decided
| upon, work was begun in the various
studio departments, until now, with
not foot OF film shot, it is estimated
that some 500 people are already at
work in various branches of research,
costuming or makeup.
Yet, so far, the cast, with the excep-
ton of Mickey Rooney as Puck, hasn't
been named; the script isn't complete;
nor has Reinhardt arrived to begin
work.
When he does arrive, they plan to
start things going at once. Perhaps
they remember how this genius Of the
theater trifled with the cinema some
six or seven years ago and are afraid
he might try it againL
Claudette Colbert says she would
love to try her hand at a stage play,
but she just doesn't dare.
Not that she hasn't had stage ex-
perience and gained great acclaim for
her work. But she feels that return
to the stage is nearly as hard as start
ing all over again, because most fans
consider it a venture into a new field.
Audiences think of an actress as a
motion picture star only" says Miss
Colbert. "and go prepared to criticize
her work accordingly.
More than this, the technique of
the screen is so different from that OF
the stage, that it is virtually learning
all over again.
so I don't think I'd dare try a
play!"
