NEWSPAPER MAN RIVES TALK AT ALL SOULSCHURCH Christopher Morley Guest of Dr, F, S, C, Wicks at Service, “No man talks about religion except for the pleasure of the talk, because the less you talk about it, probably the nearer one comes to the heart of It,” Christopher Morley, New York newspaper man and wrier, said Sunday while speaking on “The Religion of a Newspaper Man” at All Souls Unitarian Church. As the guest of Dr. Frank S. C. Wicks, pastor, Mr. Morley gave the address of the ✓morning before a crowded auditorium. “I unedrstand that at least a hundred people were turned away at the door because there was no available room,” Dr. Wicks said. “By religion we mean our ligatures of an unseen world," Morley eaJd in his typical style. “The bickerings of our time is due perhaps .o the uneven progress of a groat shift in the human notion of God. “The primitive imagination of deity is ofton a gigantic personality. Then later men come to think of .God as a kind of force or law or a harmony among infinite laws and forces. "Religion is an attempt, a noble attempt, to suggest in human terms more than humaji realities. The church is an ambassador from abroad, from the strangest countries, lying within our bosoms. “The church comes to us as an envoy from the world of spirit to the world of flesh.” Morley left this morning to make an address before the student body at Indiana University. He returns to the city tonight for New York. •
WASHINGTON IS INSPIRATION Father of Country Honored in Talk Before Bible Class. “A serious consideration of the life of Washington should bring to each of us a doper appreciation of our duties as citizens,” declared Frederick E. Schortemeier, Secretary of State, before the men’s Bible claas of the North Park Christian Church Sunday njorning. EX-SOLDIER addresses club Robert EL Tyndall Upholds Training for National Defense. Opinions of Washington on national defense were upheld Sunday night by Robert H. Tyndall, who served with tha Rainbov Division during the World War, at a meeting of the Young People’s Society of the Seoond Presbyterian Chi ,rch. “We should uphold the policy of training our young men and women for patriotic service,” Tyndall said. CHURCH OBSERVES BIRTHDAY Former Pastor Preaches at FiftySixth Anniversary. The fifty-sixth anniversary of the Grace Methodist Church was observed by the congregation Sunday. The Rev. C. E. Line, former pastor, presided at the morning service and the Rev. M: B. Hyde, pastor, at the anniversary service in the evening. SELF-CONTROL PEACE MOVE Dr. William Lowe Bryan Addresses Y. M. Big Meeting. “There is no peace among men until they have control of themselves," asserted Dr. William Lowe Bryan, president of Indiana University, Sunday afternoon at the Y. M. C. A. Big Meeting at English’s Theater. He spoke on “Nature and Human Nature.” Women as well gs men were invited to this meeting. PETTINESS SEEN AS TYRANT Minister Points to Washington as Example to Men. "It was Washington’s ability to put into the background petty criticism and fiault-flnding and see only the bigger tasks of the nation which helped to make him such a gigantic figure in our history,” said Dr. C. H. Winders, pastor of North Park Christian Church, Sunday morning. He spoke on “The Tyranny of the Trivial." ONE OF FEW MEN OF AGES Religion of Washington Recalled by Dr. Brown. “Washlngtc - at all times was in favor of keeping Sunday with reverence, and wherever he happened to be, if circumstances peumtied, he attended chilich,” said Dr. -Lewis Brown, rector of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, in his sermon Sunday morning. Dr. Brown said Washington was one of the few men who belonged to e.ll ages.

No Miracle Made Polly Pearl a Lady; Menjou Puts Pep Into Molnar s Play
By WALTER D. HICKMAN EOLLY PEaRL was just a dance hall “artist,” who did a song and dance specialty while customers sipped- their drinks. Surrounded by cheapness, Polly had an idea—that she had a chance to be a lady. Even in her frit, *■■■ cheap surrounds ings Polly was a 81:16 was right. She was in a bad business, but not lost her heart to Leonard St. Auwere mar rled NORMA the old allowance TALMADGE was stopped. That aided in making Leonard a regular cad. He turned out to be a peach and ditched Polly. Then life’s real struggle began, when Roily had a son. Although the struggle was a hard one, Polly remained a lady, but the world didn’t know. You will meet Polly Pearl in the person of Norma Talmadge in "The Lady” at the Circle this week. This pictv re is all Norma Talmadge. Melodramatic? Yes, but is full of that heart stuff which always gets over when an artjst has a hand in the characterization. There is no v oman on the screen today who is riore gloriously sweet than Norma Talmadge. I hope she doesn’t be the sad woman on the screen for the rest of her life. Yet she is the best at the business of being emotionally tragic. Polly Pearl belongs to that class of women who, in fiction agid on the screen, can be in the most terribl? places and still be untarnished. Am. here is Just where the’playwright: i pass up their realism. Miss Talmadge is much more convincing than certain parts of the story. Ai 1 said in the beginning, it is Norma who is the whole works in “The Lady.” Photography is splendid and the period costuming is well done. This picture will appeal to the women. Cast includes Wallace MacDonald, Brandon Hurst, Alf Goulding, George Hackathorne, John Fox Jr. and numerous others. Movie stars are concerned with this week’s edition of the third crossword puzzle. Bill includes a comedy. Want to call your attention to the overture this week. The music is that of Beethoven and is played while a film showing the tragic episodes of the composer’s life is being presented on the screen. The or chestra this week shows the stuff it is made of as a fine playing of the score is obtained under the direction of Constantin Bakaleinikoff. Ail the music this week is satisfying. Splendidly played. At the Circle al* week. -I- -IFILMING “THE SWAN” IS A MIGHTY WELL DONE .!Ol\ Molnar is supposed to be by some people the writer of choice bits only for the few. Have always found a human connecting point in everything that this man has written. On the stage, “The Swan’ might have been considered as a vehicle possessing limitpeal. The" movie m ° 1 h r color. This is due to Just a FRANCES It is the smart HOWARD acting of Menjou w h 1 o h causes one to suspect that Molnar has been changed a bit but I believe that. Majou is Just "living up to the character as painted by the author. Another reason that the Prince seems to become the chief character instead of "The Swan,” i * that Menjou is tremendously popular and Frances Howard, who is the “The Swan,” is not mo well known on the screen. Another reason is that "The Swan” is a mighty cold individual who doesn’t become romantic when kissed. Such characters do not appeal to the general public. “The Swan” is one of those mental characters who suffers because she will not take a holiday off from conventions of court society. The Prince turns everything into a holiday for himself. The work of Miss Howard as the daughter of a noble family is true to Molnar’s creation. She has been
trained to be regal and royal. She understands that she must marry any old piece of human furniture that her mother selects as her husband. But the woman in her asserts itself and she marries the man of her choice. The picture has been directed in splendid taste and beauty. The camera work is masterfully recorded. The production is worthy to be classed as a Paramount accomplish-
Movie Verdict •“The Swan” A smart and artistic attempt to film Molnar’s poetic genius. Splendidly acted by Menjou and Frances Howard. Well worth seeing. At the Ohio. “He Who Gets Slapped”— Movie version of one of the better stage products. Gives Lon Chaney splendid dramatic character chance. At Mister Smith’s, "Now or Never" —A revival of one of Lloyd’s best sellers. At the Apollo. Good fun. “The Lady” Norma Talmadge Is mighty sweet, but very sad. She walks away with the picture. At the Circle. “Beethoven”—Mu3ic of the great composer played in a masterful way with Bakaleinikoff directing. One of the musical treats of the season.

ment. Others in the cast are Ricardo Cortez, Ida Waterman, Helen Llndroth and numerous others. Here is a story of royalty that has been done with striking artistry. I recommend this one. The bill Includes a Sunshine comedy, “Dangerous Curves," a news reel, organ and orchestral music. At the Ohio all week. -.- -|- -|.

It will be opened to the public at 1 p. m. March 1. There will be no dlmunitlon of interest in the home exhibition through the fact of the Chicago exhibition of Indiana art coming at this time.

Miss Dorothy Blair was scheduled to speak In the prlntroom on “Wood-Cuts and Wood-Engrav-ings.” The third lecture in the 1926 print class on the appreciation of woodcuts and wood-engravings will be given by Miss Blair Friday afternoon.

N Possibility is being discussed by the Artists' Club of a coalition of certain fine arts organisations of Indianapolis. A downtown elubroom, with a case for noon lunches, has been suggested. Eaoh club would retain its Individuality. An exhibition of about twenty-five water color paintings, by Wayman Adams Is opered Saturday at ths H. Lieber art galleri. It will continue for two weeks. Some at these pictures were exhibited in the American Water Color Society and In the Now York Water Color Club last ye<i.r and in the invited work in the Art Institute of Chloago in the Fifth International Exhibit of Water Color Paintings In 1926. But ir ths main It is new work. It is Interesting to observe the power with which this artist handles this, for him. n#w jrn

RESCUE WORKERS LOAM TALK Story of Heroism Will Go Untold, Times Washington Bureau, SULLIVAN, Ind., Feb. 23.—Rescue workers who brought the bodies of fifty-one miners out of City Mine here, following the fatal explosion, say that all the men were not killed Instantly, as was at first supposed. One or two bodies, they said, indicated that the men had moved about after the explosion. In another, place, however, six bodies were found in such a position that it was believed the men fell where they were working. All the stories of heroism among rescue workers probably never will be told. The men are loathe to talk about their work. They went into the shaft, encountering gas, wrecked braces and frequent cave-ins, but the work continued frantically. The tremendous power of the explosion was indicated by the mutilated condition of many of the bodies. In one place the roof fell, narrowly missing rescuers, and precipitating nearly a ton of dirt and slate on a body. It was necessary to clear this away before the body could be removed. Kewanna Man May Succeed George Callahan, Kewanna, was mentioned today as a candidate to succeed Edgar A. Anderson, South Bend, as indorsing clerk of the House. Anderson was dismissed Friday.
