relation to the extravaganza OF the

Such a picture is the drearily
named Married Bachelor" at the

as lively comedy as you could

wife, employing various feminine

only wants Aloma for himself but
the island throne which his cousin
occupies. Man, is he furious?
The major element of suspense in
the embodiment of the tale is pro-
vided by the constant threat that
nearby volcano is going to erupt.
From the first scene it is certain
that the spectacle, the dramatic cli-
max, is going to involve the volcano
in a big way. 1t would not be
Lamour picture without hurri-
cane, a jungle confagration, or an
earthquake. Neither she nor nature
ever look completely dramatic alone.
The eruption when it comes proves
to be beautifully timed in that it
disposes of the jealous cousin just
as the dirty dog is about to inter-
rupt the nuptial ceremonies which
the tribal gods have smiled upon
since the principals were a pair of
scrapping, passionate kids.
The dialogue of "Aloma of the
South Seas" issuing as it does from
the mouths of simple people, i'm
poses no great test upon any of the
players. Miss Lanours chronic ex-
pletive, undoubtedly indicative of a
pretty naivete. is "Oh, pooh" Al
though Hall is supposed to have
been educated at Harvard. as few
Hawaiian princes are. he retains an
incorruptibly simple speech entirely

ment is given to Lynne Overman,
who does very we'll with its limited
opportunities. So do the others
with their respective chores.

act primarily as an American citi-
zen. That has never meant to me
that I must compromise with my
name and my long heritage.
It seems to me that there are
three ways in which Jews can help
themselves. The first is the eX-
ercise of charity toward the needy
among us. The Jewish charities
in America have magnificent
and amazing record of achieve
ment.
The second of these duties is to
attempt to uphold so high, so
blameless a standard Of citizenship
that criticism on this ground
would be patiently unjust. Upright
Jews should assume the response
bility of seeing that the others dc
likewise.
The last, and the most import
ant of these three points, is tan.
gible demonstration of the fact
that the Jews are physically cour
ageous. Every epoch makes its
demands. In this epoch man,
men, and some great women, al
volunteering to fight and die.
There must be Jews conspicuous
among those volunteers. There
are many. There must be more.
All over the world today there
is a whispering campaign to the
effect that the Jews are towards,
that they are afraid, that they
prefer to shield themselves behind
others rather than to come to
their own defense as other people
do. This is a shameful attack. 1
saw Jews in France enlist in large
numbers in 1889 because they
knew this was the last-ditch stand
and they preferred to die on bat
tlefield rather than in a torture
chamber. But, repeat, unjust as
these attacks on our courage have
been, refutations are worthless.
There has never been better
time nor more urgent need for
the Jews to come forward and
give telling evidence of the gal
lantry which 1, for one, have never
doubted.
In the past few years I have
seen too many generous and
gentle Jews in Europe so-called
shrewd people who believed COM
promise a better course than &C.
ton. They were even encouraged
in this by Christian friends who
genuinely had their well-being at
heart. I need not tell you what
their fate has been-that of those
Jews and their Gentle protectors.
