LODGE calls it a bogus bonus bill. Does he mean it wont pass?

And Congress is still in session. Dawn of Cleaner Movies As the country swings back to normal, there's a reaction against suggestiveness in the movies. The Boccaccio type of picture, with it* vampires and lounge lizards, sprouted up as a natural part of the crop of jazz, which in all centuries is the way abnormal prosperity, mortgaging tho future, expresses itself. Jazz is checking out and, with it, the movie that exploited\filth behind a “problem play’’ mask. The gradual passing of suggestive movies is a psychological rather than a theatrical phenomenon. For entertainment of all kinds is a mirror of its audience. Suggestive movies, active agents causing decay of public morals, also were the expression of decay, the response by the producers to what they thought the public wanted. The producers went too far. Public revolted. An era of clean, virile movies is coming, because the public again Is thinking healthy thoughts, and the movie that doesn’t sense the changed drift is not long for this world. An adult is not immune to suggestion. But, after all, he Is ‘ set in his ways,” thereby having a certain protective armor, compared with children whose morals are in the formative period. What kind of movies should children see? Chicago recently tried to find out. Seeking something to take the place of blood-and-thunder movies in childish popularity, it gathered 4,500 school children together. The show included a comedy, trained animal features, nature movie3, picture of children catching sardines, and geographical lessons. Outside of the geographical lessons, the applause played no favorites. An official commented that nothing was learned from the exhibition. He was wrong. The' try-out showed w hat any mother knows —that children, just beginning to sit up and take notice of the mysterious world with its constantly advancing horizon for childhood, are keen about anything that Is interesting. In particular, children are interested in wholesome fun and ahimals. These two elements should be the background of juvenile movies teaching Important things by suggestion. Children will gorge of the bread of knowledge if there's plenty of the jam of entertainment and interest. I The League of Nations Again That the four-power Pacific pact will be referred to the League of Nations for approval as soon as it is ratified by the three other signatory powers is indicated in dispatches from Washington. Sanction of the treaty by the other nations of the world, through the medium of the league, undoubtedly would act to give It a broader international aspect, ilthough under Article 21 of the covenant it would still be only a ‘‘regional understanding” binding the United States, Great Britain, France and lapan. Article IS of the league provides: “Every treaty or International engagement entered into hereafter by any member of the league shall be forthwith registered with the secretariat and shall as soon as possible be published by It. No such treaty or international engagement shall be binding until so registered.” It would seem from this that Great Britain, France and Japan, all members of the league, would be obliged to so register the Pacific pact. The United States, of course, by having elected to remain out of the league, would have no concern In the procedure, yet It would occupy the inomalous position f being a party to a treaty sanctioned by a body of ivhich it is not a member. The League of Nations also would define for the world the exact status of the treaty under Article 21, which provides: “Nothing in this covenant shall be deemed to affect the validity of International engagements, such as treaties of arbitration or regional unlerstandings like the Monroe doctrine, for securing the maintenance of peace." International authoritios In Washington believe that the four-power pact will not be binding upon the signatory powers, even after they ratify It, until it Is registered and approved by the League of Nations. It seems to be increasingly difficult for the Harding Administration ;o Ignore the fact that the covenant to which it took such violent exceptions during the course of a well-remembered political campaign is a functioning and virile organization. Let Justice Be Done Tho public’s Interest In the case of the amorously Inclined young Swiss mtler of the exclusive Rolling Rock Club probably was heightened ty the act that It followed so closely upon the heels of that international livery itable romance In which one countrymen and the grandlaughter of the richest man in the world figure. Os course, on top of this ■emarkable coincident it was a cot king good story—the tale of a foreign servant in a millionaires’ club falling in love with a rich man's daughter, ind then being shanghaied to a point of deportation, where he is held as 1 lunatic. v I But the very fact that every effort Is being made to hurry Prohst out if the country as an undesirable alien apparently because he dared to [iresume upon democratic ideals to such an extent that he would make ove to one of our millionaire daughters, has served to arrest public atention and even sympathy is apparent. Whether the young man actually s insane is a thing for the courts to decide —not for a group of exclusive ilubmen who resent his attention to a fair member of their circle. I The Ft. Wayne Journal-Gazette believes the country is interested to ■he “extent of wanting exact justice done. But if the butler is perfectly ■ane, America cannot afford to have him declared insane to satisfy persons of Immense wealth. • • • Let justice be done in America—even lo a servant." it concludes. £ The Louisville Courier-Journal believes that an Injustice was done Irhen the Swiss lover was placed in the psychopathic ward on Ellis Island, And it takes sharp Issue with the methods used to transport him there. I “It should be noted sharply,” this paper points out, “that August’s trip ,-om Rolling Rock was conducted privately. He was not the prisoner of ■he State; be was the victim of the Rolling Rockers. He was shanghaied, kidnaped, tricked and hoodwinked by an extra-legal process.” ' I If It comes to pass that influential and exclusive clubmen are allowed I o deport men from this country without due recourse to law that statue In New York harbor will Indeed become a mockery. I rhe National Flower Show “If thou wouldst attain to thy highest, go look upon a flower; what that does ■nilessly, that do thou willingly.” * The transformation by the Fifth National Flower Show of the mlerior of the manufacturers’ building at the State fairground into a thing ks such beauty that it beggars description gives thousands of 'Hoosiers Sie opportunity this week of following Schiller’s injunction. \ I The show% displaying plants and flowers from every clime, is a riislinet tribute to man’s love of the beautiful. All of the exhibits were ftrought to their present state of perfection by long years of patient experimentation and cultivation which has enhanced the attractive gifts of iatnre. ■ Hoosiera can take a particular delight in the exhibit, for among lhe Prize beauties are many products from Indiana soil. In fact the diV llays from the native greenhouses rank with the best.supplied from other' States. I Indianapolis this week is the center of flower kingdom and the blic should not fall to avail itself of an opportunity that Is seldom, if Ber, presented to a community to see such a Vast colleaUon of plant life.

The movie pro,Vducer has done well ia retaining as near as posslble the stage form in the Agnes Ayres. screen version. The action of the story concerns Virginia Blaine, a “hello girl” in a fashionable New York hotel. While at the switchboard she meets Robert Stafford, a man of wealth. After a brief courtship she marries him, although she does not love him at the time of her marriage. Stafford feels that his money will bring happiness to Virginia. Finally love comes to Virginia arid she answers the love of her husband. Stafford drinks champagne as a sort of a sensational experience. While under the influence of strong drink he treats his wife as a “mistress” instead of his wife. In these scenes he is a “mad sheik.” not an American husband.

The ending is a happy one as Stafford goes to the humble abode of Virginia and returns her to his mansion. Stafford pledges.that ho- is a life member of the “waterwagon crew.” The cast is as follows: Virginia Blaine Agnes Ayres Robert Stafford Jack Holt James Gilley Walter Hlers Fanny Blaine Leah Wyant Oku George Kuwa Maid Bernice Frank Telegraph Girl Ethel Wales The cast has been carefully selected, the work of Miss Ayres and Mr. Holt being splendid in all scenes. The comedyend of the drama is nicely done by Walter Hlers. The settings, especially in Stafford s mansion, are well handled. It really looks like a rich man’s home. Quito a picture, we think.

THEY ARE JUSTLY PKOCD OF “TVRX TO THE RIGHT." Am told that the producers of “Turn to the Right” as a movie are proud es this picture. And they have a right to be because the good old-fashioned humor of this gtage comedy has been caught and photographed with telling effect. The glow —of the peach crop, the old fashioned wholesomeness of , >■? .ft ridiculous smaliracc track are the elements of compelling Interest which hare been pnt together in a " Ilex Is the mu Jnrk Muihail who directed ’t he Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse." Let me first give you the cast In full. Here it is as follows: Elsie Tlllinger Alice Terry Joe Bascom Jack Muihail Gillie Harry Myers Muggs George Cooper Deacon Tlllinger Edward Connelly Mrs Bascom Lydit Knott Bettv Bascom Betty Allen Jessio Strong Margaret Loomis Sammy Martin William Bletehor Mr. Morgan Eric Maya* Lester Morgan Ray Illpley I want to talk a second on tho merits of this cast. Alice Terry probably is the best known of thq cast because of her significant work in the last twelve months This picture proves to me that a director renders a valuable service to the public when he picks his cast for efficiency in pJa-e of for mere names. Jaok Muihail looks like Joe. meaning that he looks like he would buck tly? world Just like Joe did. Edward Connelly again gives a well drawn characterization of a small town conceited, narrowminded village tyrant. His work Is not over drawn, but carefully and naturally conceived. One could ask for no better Ma Bascom. the maker of the wonderful peach jam. than that given to the screen by Lydia Knott. Miss Terry hasn’t any great demands made on her talents in this movie, but her duty is to look sweet and pretty and she does that easily. Harry Myers and George Cooper as the two crook pals of Joe, are “knockouts.” Both are the right types. The remainder of the cast is satisfactory. “Turn to the Right," even on the stage, was full of good old-fashioned hoakum and lhe screen version has wisely refused to “highbrow” the story, but re-

mains true to the stage version. The movie version follows more closely the stage manner of unfolding the story than is usually done in adapting a big stage success to the screen. The photography is excellent. Y'ou will enjoy the movie version of “Turn to the Right," because there are as many bushels of laughs in it as there are bushels of peaches. This movie is a real spring tonic. At the Ohio all week. —W. I). H. -I- -I- -I“THE CRADLE” TEACHES A MORAL. The Alhambra this week Is showing “The Cradle,” with Ethel Clayton as ahe star of the production. In this picture she has the part of the wife of a prominent young physician. While he is becoming infatuated .with an attractive patient, his wife Is occupied with the duties of the home and the care of their little daughter. She is finally awakened to her husband’s duplicity and a divorce follows. The court decides that each may have

the child for a six months' period. The physician then marries the "charming’’ patient and the wife marries a former suitor. The stepfather Is glad when the first six months Is over and the child goes to her daddy, but the stepmother proves a worse enemy to the child and her cruelty results In the serious Illness of the i little girl. The physician takes his daughter to her mother's home and remains to care for her. Whpn the crisis 1s over tho mothet and father learn that parctyhood Is a stronger tie than second wives or hnsj hands.

When Tom is injured in a gun batl tie, Anne decides to nurse him back to bdalth. This she does, but she falls in love with the bandit, who is so gentle with women.

PUSS IN BOOTS, JR. By DAVID CORY. - 1 The next morning Sir Launcelot and Puss Junior icft the Castle- of Briers and continued their Journey. The Knight felt very friendly toward his little comrade, for Puss Junior, by bis watchfulness, probably had saved Sir Launcelot’s life; and the latter, at the earnest request of the fair lady, had spared the lijp of the wicked lord. For Sir Launcelot was ever ready to grant the request of a lady, as were all the famous Knights of the Round Table. “Twelve pears hanging high, Twelve Knights riding by; Each Knight took a pear, And yet left a dozen there." Sir Launcelot reined in his steed and stood quietly watching the scene. They were the Knights of Castle Briers and for them Sir Launcelot had no further j use. When they had ridden away he and I Puss Junior rode up to the pear tree and | pulled off some fruit. “There were exactly twenty-four pears on the tree,” | cried Puss. “For the sake of argument, let us say there were only twelve pears,” cried Sir Launcelot. “I will agree with you," laughed Puss Junior, “provided your fruit is In pairs and my pears are In dozens!" Before the good Knight could reply a great boar rushed out from the woods and made for them. He was an ugly beast, infuriated by an arrow which, was stuck In hls side, probably received during the chase. Snorting with fright, Sir Launcelot'* steed Jumped to one side, barely escaping the boar's tusks. But alas and nlack! Poor little Puss Junior was®thrown from the saddle. In vain he tried to cling to Sir Launcelot. The armor was slippery and afforded no hold and Jie slipped to ground Just as the boar turned and made for them a second time. Puss drew his sword and made up his mind to die like a brave cat. And no doubt he would have been killed had not the Knight rushed upon the beast with hls great spear, killing him before he reached Puss. "Little comrade." cried Sir Launcelot, “ 'twns thou who Inst night saved my life, and today 'tis I who have saved thine Thus do the fortunes of war turn. .Climb up behind me and we will Journey forward, leaving tho wild beast for

NATIONS JOIN . IN OPPOSING FRENCH POLICY x European Countries, Except Poland, Unite to Thwart Moves of Paris. BRITISH GAIN SUPPORT WASHINGTON, March 27.—France ia today facing not only the dead weight of Great Britain’s disapproval of French foreign and domestic politics, but of tho combined opposition of almost every other European nation, except Poland, which she dominates. Confidential European advices reaching Republican members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee have not only established the dangerous isolation threatening France, but have clearly foreshadowed the collapse of the “dog-in-the-manger” attitude of the French government toward Germany and Russia, it only because of tremendous economic pressure. Private assurances conveyed to London by. the Roumanian government that it 1 willing to support British proposals for the recognition of the Soviet Russian government, is regarded as but one straw that indicates that the political wind in Europe is blowing against France. BRITAIN GETS ASSURANCES. Great Britain also is said to have receiv i even more definite private assn mees of support from Italy, Belgium, Holland, as well as the Scandinavian nations and most of the other European states, for the British program for the rehabilitation of both Germany and Russia as an integral part of a fixed policy for the economic restoration of Europe demanded by the American Government when it refused to participate in the proposed Genoa conference. Will the millions packed In the British Isles depending up world trade for bread, it is a life-and-death necesssity for Great Britain to bring order out of chaos in continental Europe. France may be considered self-contained economically, but Great Britain enjoys no such favored advantage. The British must exchange their goods for food in order to subsist. It is a question of trade or starve with the British people, and the putting of Germany, Russia and the rest of Europe on their feet is a cold, sheer essential which the British government is prepared to insist upon. France may continue tO\resist the British demands as long as she thinks she can afford to. But it is not believed that her own private business interests will tolerate long a French government which courts economic suicide and threatens to bring the whole of the rest of Europe down on the French people. WORKS FOR RFSSIAN AGREEMENT. Great Britain is believed to be already dealing direct with rhe present Russian government on a scale so extensive as to promise a highly important and significant alignment between the British, Germans and Russians, economically, if not politically. Loudon has not turned Its back on the French need for reparation for the World War and security from future attack. The British government is rea£# _ and willing to assist France in obtaining both if she will listen to reason. But the British will continue to insist that there must be a limit fixed as to Germany's ability to pay as well as a method of German repSsijtlon established which will nor. threaten ail Europe with disaster. Permanent occupation of German territory by French troops is another source of British opposition to the prevailing French policy. Growing disapproval in this country of France's refusal to balance her budget so as to provide for the payment of her debts, the reduction of her immense army, and the slashing of her governmental expenditures, is another phase of the situation which is expected to influence the French government to soon a different attitude. TRADE AGREEMENT LE\ER ON FRENCH. The generous trade agreement the Russian soviet government secured with Great Britain through Leonid Krassin, its shrewd business expert, is another factor which may help to bring France to a realization that Russian trade is already beginning to slip in increasing quantities into British hands while France turns a cold shoulder upon Russia because sho does not repay what the former Czarist government borrowed from the French. Aid yet Krassin himself, binding the British to a trade agreement with the soviets, is quoted as having written a semi-official warning that foreign capital will not be permitted to exploit Russia except with the full sanction and cooperation of the soviet government, in which he slated : “If foreign capital attempts as a result of participation in the economic reconstruction of Russia to bring about the economic and political enslavement of our country, then agreement is impossible, and a stubborn and protracted struggle lies before u*. For Russia this will mean delay in her economic development and lhe death of millions. For Europe the’struggle will mean a long drawn-out crisis, ever increasing in extent and grarity, millions of unemployed and the growth of the suffering and ingination of the working masses.”
