EVANGELIST SAYS , PLIGHT OF CHURCH IS WANT OF JOY # Gypsy Smith Leads Choir of Twelve Hundred Voices at Tabernacle, “What is the great weakness of the Christian Church today?” asked Gypsy Smith, English evangelist, in his sermon at the Cadle Tabernacle Sunday. “I know what it is, for I have been feeling the pulse .of five continents sot years. I would say that it is for want of joy, exuberance, spontaneity, the joy springing from spiritual health, the peace that flows like a river. I am not surprised that some preachers can't preach well with some of the faces before them. The want of the believer is the joy of the Lord. Some of you are all jaw, not joy.” When the evangelist, appeared upon the platform the choir and congregation began to sing, “Love Lifted Me” one of Gypsy's favorite hymns. He concluded his service with the same song. During the song service before the sermon Smith directed the choir. Nearly every person who sang in the original Gypsy Smith choir of 1,200 voices were present, i The Rev. C. C. Gohn, pastor of the 'United Brethren Church presided. Gospel Road to .Joy “God never brought the church into existence to educate or entertain. He brought it to lead men from the dark to the light. Repent and believe the gospel Is the high road to joy.” “Jesus Christ didn’t 6ome to heal. He came to deal with a greater thing than the body. He came to put away sin. His coming was to deal with a sin that* an Infinite God dare tackle.” Speaking of science, he said: “There is too much effort to sidetrack religion with science, but anything that denies scientific facts is not science: it is not religion. It is not scientific to deny the divinity of Christ. To say that Jesus did not come to save men from sin is to say that God did not know his business. Lots of people have religion, but not Jesus. God has never recalled the Book and. until He does, I am going to preach it.” “The Conquering Christ” "No man has a right to preach the Bible for a living if he does not believe it. Do not send your blind young people to school to be led by a blind leader. Don’t run after anybody that doesn’t preach the Virgin Christ, the resisting Christ, the conquering Christ." Pleading for unity in the church, he said: “Stay with the church, if the people aren't what they ought to be show them. If you have any grudge get it I lout of your system. The surest thing in the world isJesus. If a man can get religion without knowing it, he can miss it without knowing it. There are a lot of things you can’t explain that you got common sense to go on with.” GUNFIRE MARKS IRISHJLECTION Day Opens With Trouble, Then Becomes Calm, By United I’resn DUBLIN, Aug. 27. —Hearty firing of machine guns and rifles, together with frequent bomb explosions, ushered in Ireland's election day. The uproar started at 3 a. m. It ended at 4 a. m. The cause of the disturbance has so far not been disclosed. Following the outburst of noise, a Sabbath calm descended upon the city and when the polls opened Dublin was as quiet as it woujd be on a holiday. Most of the shops were closed and hundreds of persons went to the seaside after casting their ballots. POINCARE ASKS AMERICAN HELP Mora! Support of U, S, in Ruhr Sought, By United .Vei c PARIS, Aug. 27. —Praise of Americe, and a bid for American support of the Ruhr occupation, were mingled by Premier Poincare at a speech at Gondrecourt, where he dedicated a memorial to the first French troops to reach the front. 1 Poincare's Sunday speeches are now awaited throughout Europe, as it Is realized that the premier makes these week-end orations the occasion of advancing vital arguments on the Ruhr and reparations situation. This Sunday his guns were turned upon the United States. As in his Charleville speech, Poincare pleaded for better understanding of the situation. He ignored embarrassing questions of debts, and paid tribute to American war service. “France and the United States contracted an immortal amity on the battlefield when troops of the two countries died side by side,” he said. He declared that a letter received from General Couraud in America had reported that the United States was heart and soul with the French occupation of the Ruhr. Rainbow Division to Picnic The Rainbow Division Veterans Association will hold a picnic Sunday, Sept. 9. at Northern Beach. Friends and families are invited. Swimming, basebali, tennis and games and contests will be on the program. Paul B. Bonham is general chairman*

Dulcy Is as Dumb on Screeh as on Stage; Pollard Jazzes Up History in New Film

By WALTER D. HICKMAN. r=—, ULCY is the prize dumb-bell of DI the world. L__J Whether on the stage or the screen, Dulcy is equally dump. I had a bunch of doubts whether “Dulcy” could be made into a good photoplay because the appeal of this comedy is found in its lines. The sssksssms director has wisely used many of 'fifiitr these smart PX ' J presslons as sub.Jmmlm titles. Constance Talmadge is cast in the title role "J which brought J fame and con--4338m siderable wealth to Lynn Fontaine it, the stage ver- •< “ sion. Connie was , a wise choice because she causes herself to look i like the prize dumb-bell that Dulcy was supposed to be. Her CONSTANCE work is mighty TALMADGE close to a personal triumph because it is no easy task to look 100 per cent dumb ail the time. She has the foolish Dulcy look. Dulcy has charm, although she is only a dumbbell. Dulcy demands smart treatment and that is just what Miss Talmadge gives the role. “Dulcy” is sufficient proof that smart comedy can be transferred from the stage to the sliver screen. “Dulcy” registered strongly with the audience when I was present at the Circle yesterday. When she “messed up*’ a situation with her dumbbell look and her dumb conversation of spilling the beans, the audience howled with glee. Just between us, the comedy situations have been so well developed In the film version that it probably will be one of the notable comedy pictures of the year. It is polite, smart and splendidly acted. Why shouldn't it be well acted, when the cast includes Miss Talmadge, Claude Glllingwater, Johnny Harron, Jack Mulhall. Anne Corn wall and others. Some liberties have been taken with the original script, but that is expected in any movie version of a stage play. I found the movie verson of “Dulcy'’ a delicious experiment in smart comedy. When I first saw the stage version of “Dulcy" I wasn't so keen over it. because Miss Fontaine’s Dulcy seemed so strained, but Miss Talmadge makes her a natural dumbbell. I know you will like this one. The Circle this week is observing its seventh birthday. The lobby has been beautifully decorated for the occasion. The orchestra, under the direction of Modest Altsohuler. is playing an overture, “Findlandia.” by Sibelius' It has much weird charm. Taylor. Macy and Hawks, three singers, are one of the treats on the birthday program. They sing well. Their minstrel song is probably their biggest hit. The bill includes a news reel and a scenic novelty. At the Circle all week.

The Pilgrims Didn't Have Such a Terrible Time After All Snub Pollard has his own ideas about the Piligrim fathers and old Plymouth. In "The Courtship of Miles Sandwich.” a movie burlesque on "The Courtship of Miles Standish,” Snub jazzes up history to please himself. John Alden was a shy lover and wrote poetry on a /typewrier. On John's desk was an automatic telephone. Priscilla was a little flirt, although she could not see Miles Standish. The Pilgrims were welcomed on their arrival in America not by Indians but by bathing beauties in nifty one-piece bathing suits Snub then decided that he was glad he made the voyage. Pilgrim John and the other boys took delight in coasting down a hill in the winter time on sleds. The first flivver was brought to America by the Pilgrims. If you doubt it, just see Snub Pollard at the Ohio this week. The other movie of importance at the Ohio this week is Milton Sills in "Legally Dead." The story is a little out of the beaten track. Sills isn’t called upon to do any heavy work but he goes through the part in a convincing way. He never overacts. The story becomes different when it attempts to show that science can cause a dead man to come to life again. Science is put to work on an alleged criminal who is sentenced to be hanged and the experiment is successful. The dead man is brought back to life. Then the question is: What is his station in life when the law declares that he is dead? “Legally Dead” is not a great picture, far from it, but it tells a story which is unusual. Kara, a mind reader, is also on the bill at the Ohio this week. This is the second week of his engagement at this house. The Miami Lucky Seven furnish the music. At the Ohio all week. -I- -|- -|- “Human Wreckage” Goes Into Second Week at Apollo Mrs. Wallace Reid's “Human Wreckage,” a powerful and sincere plea for help in stamping out the dope evil, is now in the second week of its engagement.
