 American Education Week grew out of the World War. Twenty five percent of the men examined in the draft were iliterate; 20 percent were physically unfit; many were foreign-born and had little under standing of American life
 During the war the schools were drained of teachers, especially men. In the fall of 1920 thousands of schools were closed for want of teachers. A campaign of public in- formation was needed to correct the situation. A long-range pro- gram for the extension of educa- ton was needed to reduce illiteracy and physical unfitness. Members of the American Legion consulted with educators and, as result, the first American Education Week was ob- served in 1921.

 A great human drama of today that will stir your happiest mem- ories of 1901. thrilling yesterdays, is the Daryl F. Zanuck produc- ton Hollywood Cavalcade," star ring Alice Faye and Don Ameche.
 The romance of Hollywood from bathing beauties to world pre- mieres staged anew, this magnif;- cent picture tells in thrilling and highly entertaining fashion the story of Mike, prop boy con- sumed with the desire to make pictures, and Molly, who wanted only to be loved by Mike, but who was swept along to greatness on the screen.
 Those memorable Mack Sennett bathing beauties stroll again be- side Castle Rock on Santa Monica beach, but this time lovely Alice Faye is one of their number. Buster Keaton, Ben Turpin, Ches- ter Conklin and those inimitable Keystone Cops cavort again in slapstick, custard-pie comedy. Al Jolson sings again "Kol Nidre, " the song with which he electrified the world in ''The Jazz Singer" the first talking picture ever made. And Ameche, as Director Mike, re- calls the great directors of by gone day as he strides about his gigantic sets, in riding togs and puttees, carrying huge mega phone with his name painted on it, directing a lavish Babylonian feast with hundreds of dress ex- tras.
 Alec Faye is more beautiful and effective than ever in her Tech nicolor debut and also her first dramatic role as Molly, and Don Ameche is splendid as Mike, who forgot to tell her he loved her-until it was too late.
