"Obey The Law"
 On Sunday Night

The story of an easy mark who became a human firebrand, just such screen drama is the Columbia pie ture, Obey The Law" which opens Sunday at the Dream Theatre. Leo Carrillo, Dickie Moore and Lois Wilson are featured in the principz al roles of the production, written for the screen by Arthur Caeser from the story by Harry Sauber.
 In Obey the Law" Carrillo DOT trays the role of an Italian immig- rant who is so fired wiht loyalty for the United States after he becomes a citizen that he cannot rest com fortably when he meets the vicious ness of political terrorism.
 He is so enthusiastic for every thing American that he almost be- comes an easy mark for the vice. ring of big city politics, until he discovers the deceitfulness of Big Joe" Rierdon, played by Henry Give, boss of the 9th Assembly dis trict, who controls the gang Carrillo then begins to buck.
 Obey the Law" is fully as pow erful story as Washington Merry Col Round" Instead of venturing its attention on the broad field of na- tional politics, "obey the Law" digs intimately into the political nest of crookedness and theivery of the To- cal scene in big metropolitan cen ter.
 The screen play by Arthur Cae- ser catches the warm childlike con fidence with which immigrants look forward to becoming citizens of this great country, and the subsequent disappointment that often awaits them when the political machine be- gins to fuse" them.

Appreciation of
Beautiful Things
Shown in Treatment That
Is Accorded Articles
of. Value.

An appreciation Of beautiful things
is not a matter of words, nor neces-
sarily a matter of collecting the arti-
cles of merit. 1t goes deeper than
these things. 1t shows itself In the
way in which articles are handled
before they are purchased, when
they belong to some one else, or are
merely being examined in shop.
The person who handles the articles
carelessly, does not appreciate them.
It is the care Of choice pieces what
ever they be, that gives evidence of
true appreciation.
Handsome Silk Textiles.
Have you ever noticed how dress
makers handle beautiful silks2 They
seem to manipulate the textiles with
out grasping them at all. Their fin
gers skim over the materials as a
butterfly brushes flower petals light
ly with his wings. Their hands ac-
tually express love of the beauty and
appreciation Of the texture. 1t Is
thus when they are sewing on ex-
Quisite garments. The material Is
lifted lightly, turned deftly, and han
died SO well that when the work is
laid down, 1t is as spotless and free
from rumples as when in the bolt.
Beauty In Books.
A person who appreciates books
handles them almost with reverence,
To be careless with them would be
unthinkable. Bindings are fingered
over, pages are turned softly. New.
er is a page thumbed to turn easily
nor corners Of pages folded down to
mark places. The very way in which
a book Is opened is expressive
Books are laid on the table or stood
on the shelves Of bookcase almost
lovingly, so much are fine volumes
cherished and cared for by them
And this same treatment is accorded
books of lesser beauty of binding, Of
paper and print.
Home Furnishings.
The homemaker who appreciates
the beauty Of her possessions care!
for them tittingly. And to the practt
cal articles she pays adequate dues
The home furnishings show theil
good treatment. They repay her b.
looking their best. This may be {
magnificent best or a threadbare best
according to the intrinsic value ant
excellence Of the articles, or tn,
worth they represent to the person
Silver.
No one can expect to have mate
rial things reflect beauty unless the,
are treated well. In a house wher
there were quantities of silver Of fin,
workmanship, heirlooms, old famil,
pieces, etc., 1t was so carelessl,
treated that 1t was dark and actual
ly gloomy looking, instead of brigh
and shining. 1t would have beef
better, If time was not at the house
wife's disposal to keep all polished
to have put away all pieces excep
those she could care for adequately
The appreciation Of beautiful thing
Is sadly lacking.
