ABOUT TWO PHYSICIANS

NUMBER among those popular religious novels that have been hit ting the book shelves lately J. R. Perkins "The Emperor's Physician (Bobbs-Merrill: $2.5O.
 Following on the heels of Sho- lem Ash's "The Apostle" "The Robe" by Lloyd Douglas. Blessed Are the Meek" the life of St. Francis of Assist, by zofja Kos sak-Szcucka, and other religious volumes, this one ranks with any.
 Book is a novel built around two physicians. Luke Galen, half Greek, half-Jow and Sergius Cu- manis, personal physician to the Emperor of Rome, the father of whom taught Galen the practice of medicine then known.
 Both eventually meet while at tending the daughter of the Gov ernor of Syria, afflicted with lep- rosy. A first friendship is struck up which leads them into the pal ace of Herol and other bigwigs of the time, eventually bringing them into contact with the Healer of all headers, Jesus of Nazareth.
 Adventures of the two follow in parallel with the life of Jesus as He performed His miracles of mak- in gthe blind see, healing the lep- CTS, making the lame walk, and bringing the dead back to life. Galen rapidly is convinced of the Savior's supernatural powers and becomes a disciple; Cumanis is a doubting Thomas and believes nothing JespS does is without quackery until, in defending the Lord. he dies at the hands of Malchus, chief servant of the high priest. He breahtes his last by calling the Nazarean My Mas ter".
 Book is designed to turn your conscience around a couple of times.

BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

The summer symphonic season at
the Water Gate closed last night
with gala performance that drew
thousands of people to fill all the
seating space on the site. Many
hundreds more crowded the railings
of the bridge and overpass or set
tied themselves in comfort on the
grass behind the Lincoln Memorial.
With the weather at is pleasantest
and the sky serene and unclouded,
the audience listened to the pro-
grams star, Gladys Swarthout, cele-
brated mezzo- soprano of opera, con-
cert, radio and movie fame, and the
interesting variety Alexander Small
ems chose for the orchestra, under
ideal conditions.
One of Miss Swarthout's greatest
charms is her friendly attitude to-
ward her listeners, which is shown
not only in her manner, but in her
desire to sing for them what they
want to hear. Moreover, whether
it is an operate aria or a popular
song, she gives of her best, bringing
an intelligent analysis and a spon-
taneous feeling to round out her
artistry. She was in excellent form
last night and her voice carried
richly over the amplifiers.
The aria. "Connais-tu lie PAYS
from Thomas "Mignon," can be a
dull affair if handled less expertly
than does Miss SWarthout, but as
she sings it. there is conviction and
moving sentiment in its long two
verses. The coloring of tone, the
broad line of phrase and the deeply
felt emotional effects are superbly
sustained throughout, with result
ing communicative power. She can

Release From Prison
Asked by D. {. Man
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE. July 22-Horace
w. Trice, 2726 Thirtieth street NE,
Washington, asked the Federal
Court yesterday to release him from
a manslaughter sentence to the
House of Correction, charging a
judge admitted prejudice, juror
was related to the prosecutor and
his own lawyer deceived him.
Trice, who asked a writ of habeas
corpus, was arrested May 16. 1912
after his automobile struck and
killed Doris Stallings. He was
sentenced to three years and fined
$1,000.
In his petition Trice declared he
later learned that juror, William
Bowie, was related to Prince Georges
County States Attorney A. Gwynn
Bowie, and that his case was hurt
by statement from the witness
stand by Deputy County Treasurer
Ernest Smith that "he should be
hung"
A motion for mistrial was denied
Trice said, and his attorney, John
IS. White, Colmar Manor, assured
him an appeal would be taken, but
failed to do so. while Trice was
held in Jail and unable to communi-
cate with any one until the appeal
period had expired
Judge Charles c. Marbury showed
prejudice, Trice contended, when,
in pronouncing sentence. he said he
regretted he was unable to impose
more severe penalty.

others. He shared them lavishly
, with his fellowmen and thereby
earned their warm affection and
the distinction of becoming hero of
one OF the screens biographies of
great Americans.
The Adventures of Mark Twain
is the title of the latter. Produced
by Jesse l.. Lasky, with Fredric
March in the title role, it lives up
to its title without living up to its
hero. There is much of humor in
the picture, as there would have to
be with such subject. There are
touches Of pathos, and romance Is
there on generous scale and dra-
matte snatches of Twain's failures
and embarrassments. They make
an interesting if overlong picture,
however, and not great one, which
<pften happens when less gifted
humans try to capture the essence
of a great mans life. The impress
sion of that life which Twain left
is more vivid than the one which
the picture creates.
The basic and sound enough
