Have you, knight-like, swift spurred with couchéd lance Against the rigid bulk of circumstance? Intrepidly met Wrong, Gone forward with a song Albeit driven sore with goad or thong? Or have you failed at soul, Missed the high goal Whither your steps were bent, And fallen, flaccid-thewed and impo- tent? Howe’er this be, With level vision greet the first new dawn; And through this portal to futurity, With thy resolve fast clutched, stride on and on! Clinton Scollard. PROHIBITION will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It ts a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason, in that it attempts to control a man’s appetite by legislation and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A prohibition lbw strikes a blow at the very principles om which our government was founded. Abraham Lincoln, *) Recent Developments 63 (The regular Silent Drama department will be found on page 22) Hamlet. Asta.—An elaborate bit of Danish pastry, vaguely reminiscent of Shakespeare’s well-known play, and pic- torially splendid. Hamlet is played by a woman, Asta Nielsen, who bears a striking resemblance to Cesar, the somnambulist in “Dr. Caligari.” The Flower of the North. Vitagraph. —An exciting but incoherent melodrama, in which everybody does a great deal of running around. The talented Pauline Starke lends a welcome note of quiet charm to the proceedings. What Do Men Want? Gunning.—An- other Lois Weber problem, discussed in a typically Lois Weber way. The Sheik. Paramount—Rudolph Val- entino endows his rdle with far more fire and color than it deserves. The movie, as a movie, could not be graded very high; but it is certainly better than the book. All for a Woman. First National— More pitiless publicity for the French Rev- olution, made in Germany but lacking the distinction that most German pictures have possessed. The Wonderful Thing. First Na- tional—The wonderful thing is that Norma Talmadge should waste her time on so foolish a picture. Theodora. Goldwyn.— Cruel tyrants, shattered romances, hungry lions, fear- crazed mobs, gladiatorial slaughters, Chris- tian martyrs—more darned fun. {| Ladies Must Live. Paramount—An unrecognizable version of what once was a penetrating social satire. The Four Horsemen of the Apoca- lypse. Metro.—It will be your own loss if you fail to see this picture, for it touches greater heights of dramatic achievement than any other movie in history. The Poverty of Riches. Goldwyn— One of those moral lessons for childless couples. No better, and not much worse, than usual. | For Review Next Week.—“Get-Rich- Quick Wallingford,” “Judgment” and “Boomerang Bill.” 31 DS RRL GUA Athletic Underwear for Men A knee-length, sleeve less Union Suit—knit of WOOLand Cotton mixed.Ample warmth and protection plus the unrestricted free- dom of the lightest weight athletic under- garment.

Don’t let the conference pass any absurd rules, sure to bk broken the moment things get hot, again t any- thing the chemists can de to make war insupportable. Our soldiers went to France to put an end to war. Now, then, let the mourners proceed up the right aisle and view the remains, and then take the deceased out and bury it. Don’t shoo the chemists off the job of making war stay dead. To a Dotrar Birt: When I hed you, you wouldn’t buy anything; and now that you'll buy something, I can’t get you. nn I NU comicbooks.com
