blossoms between the Hawk and the pampered beauty of his most deadly rival. It’s a drama of a man who fought single-handed against the invisible forces of a world of shadows to save the life of a man who had once saved his. The usual shorter Circle feature will be a part of the program. a a tt APOLLO HOLDS OVER TALKING FILM “Glorious -Betsy” will continue as the attraction at the Apollo next week. It is a spectacle in which the silent drama augments its tensest moments by the use of dialog, the interpolative symphonnic accompaniment fades, and in its place comes the emotional medium of the human voice—the words end, and again the strains of the music take up the theme. “Glorious Betsy” is the love story of Betsy Patterson, belle of Baltimore, and Jerome Bonaparte, brother of Napoleon, who separated them after their romantic courtship and marriage. Dolores Costello portraits the exquisite Betsy. The usual Movietone News Reels and Vitaphone vaudeville features will be added. a a it DOUBLE BILL IS AT OHIO The Ohio Theater presents on Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, Mary Astor and Lloyd Hughes in “Sailor's Wives,” a so'iety drama. On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Monte Blue is featured in “Across the Atlantic,” a romance of an aviator, who flies across the ocean. In addition the Ohio is also presenting the usual shorter subjects. “Sailor’s Wives,” is from the pen of Warner Fabian, who wrote “Flaming Youth,” and “Summer Bachelors.” This tale is said to be in the same vein and concerns the doings of a very fast group of young people. Earle Foxe, Olive Tell, Burr McIntosh and Robert Schable are in the supporting cast. Monte Blue, Edna Murphy and Burr Mclntosh are the three stars of “Across the Atlantic.” Cast As Leads Robert Armstrong and Lina Basquette are to play the leading roles in “Celebrities.” The story is from a stage play of last season by the same name. New Beery Part Wallace Beery, character and comedy ace, prepared for his latest role in “Beggars of Life” by a vacation at his cabin at Silver Lake, in the Sierras.

Mystery Sky Pilot at Resort Broad Ripple Will Offer Other Attractions to Visitors, HOW would you like to be staring into eternity with only a few yards of silk fashioned into a parachute to save you?

Shoot-the-Chutes, Kentucky Derby, Rifle Range, Doll Racks, Fairyland Flyer and others.

Sunday School Lesson

The International Uniform Sundav School Lesson for ,I’ine 17. The Meaning of the Cross. Mark 15:22-26, 33-39. By WM. E. GILROY. D. D. Editor ot The Congregationalist THE meaning of ths cross may be considered in a twofold way. What did it mean for Jesus, and what does it mean for us? What did it mean for Jesus? It meant for him what the way of sacrifice and death in fidelity to truth and right have meant for many others, both before he died on Calvary and since that tragic event. Jesus died in the fulfillment of a law that runs through human life, a law that seems mysterious and unexplainable, but a law that is powerful, present, and persistent in human experience. It is the law of vicarious suffering, that the innocent suffer for and with the guilty, and for the sins of the world. This does not mean that God, the righteous and loving Father, is punishing the innocent for the guilty, but it does mean that in some strange inexplicable way those whose lives are most deeply pledged to love and truth bear the burden of a world given over to sin and selfishness; and the world becomes purged of its hate and of its wrong through the suffering and sacrifice of its purest and. truest souls. This is the story of history, and Calvary is the noblest and purest expression of divine purposes wrought out through this law of vicarious suffering. The cross meant for Jeesus the way of the fulfillment of the Father’s will. He was truly man; and with human weakness and human need he prayed that the cup might pass; yet with the divinity of his destiny he prayed also that the Father’s will and not his own might be done. The cross to Jeesus meant the pouring out of all his love and all his life in the yearning purpose of redemption. It meant the climax of his revelation of the love of God. It is all beautifully expressed by one of the early Christian writers in his reference to Jesus “who loved us and gave himself for us.” When Jesus said upon the cross,

Convalesces Richard Dix, convalescing from his recent operation for appendicitis, has gone to a seashore resort in northern California for a rest before resuming activities in Hollywood. His next picture, will be a special production called “The Redskin.”

4 “West Point,” a story of youth, love and romance, is the name of the feature picture • to be shown at the Loew’s Palace Theater, starting today, with William Haines in the leading part. 5 The feature picture at the Circle for the week, beginning today, will be “The Hawk's Nest," with Milton Sills as the leading actor. This is a mystery picture.

“It is finished,” he bore testimony to the fact that he had gone to the end of the way in revelation of grace through love and sacrifice. The cross is the highest symbol of divine love reaching out in yearning toward human sin and human need. What does the cross mean for us? It means first of all this revelation of divine love. A skeptic once asked me, “Would an honest man want another to die for his sins?” That is a putting of the cross of Christ entirely in the wrong light and under the wrong qmphasis, though there is some warrant for it because of the mistaken emphasis of professedly Christian theologians. The question we should ask rather regarding the cross of Christ is. Would an honest -man neglect and spurn the love and sacrifice of one who had done so much for his redemption? Would he not wish to share the spirit that led Christ to the cross, and to enter into fellowship with the sufferings of the Master as well as to share his love and his goodness? The cross for us if it has vital meaning becomes the place of consecration of the surrender of ourselves to God. The proper appeal of the cross is found in the words of John, "Beloved if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.” The cross for St. Paul was the place not merely where Jesus was crucified but where Paul himself was crucified to the world and where the world was crucified to him. In sharing the cross of Christ he became anew man. Here it is that the cross assumes its place in the story of human redemption. It is the highest point of the meeting of God and man. Here man finds all the yearning love of God expressed in the fullness of sacrifice and here man appropriates that love and makes the response in the surrender of himself to the divine will. Character Part Nelson McDowell, character actor, has been chosen to play the role of the famous trapper. Jim Bridger, in Fred Thomson’s special, “Kit Carson.” Added to Cast George Kotsonafos and Robert Brower have been added to the cast of “Beggars of Life,” the Jim Tully story, in which Wallace Beery has the leading role.
