SAYS NOBLEST DUTY BETTER ENVIRONMENT FOR NEXT GENERATION

The Theatres

"The best use one generation can make of Its time is to make the nest

generation better fitted to cope witli its environment and to create a more desirable environment for that generation. stated Miss Lilla E. Payn elementary supervisor of the public schools , in her address. "The New Methods of Teaching School." delivered before the Civics department cf the Woman's club, at the MorriscnKeeves library Tuesday afternoon.

"By education human beings are taught to have more humane and useful wants and are taught better how to satisfy them. "There are supposed to be new ways of making there changes," the speaker commented, "but the new In education is not separated from the old by any definite line of demarcation. Educators feel about these new theories in education as scientific men feel who have taken one step further forward and we want you to assume the same attitude toward this new step as you do towards new discoveries." "The problem of the public school is a far more stupendous thing than i. has ever been before. Especially is this so in America." Miss Tayno pointed to the fact that the American schools were a veritable melting pot to which came all the nationalities of the world. The compulsory education law she said, is bringing moie and more foreign children to the schools.

Enumerating the many things which were taught the children in connection

with their school work Miss Payne

said that parents were leaving too much of their work to the schools. Behavior of the children which the schools have found it necessary to teach was mentioned by her as one of the things which should be taught at home. The children she showed, are being educated to be good citizens. Begin

ning In the primary grades they are given a grounding in science, art, history, and other things pertaining to the world without. They are taught

WASHINGTON STOCK. Fatti McKInley, the popular leading lady of the Jack Eessey Stock company will have one of the best roles of her entire career here when "The Brat" is produced by the company the coming week. Her role is that of a girl playing a chorus girl in a cheap musical comedy and known

only as "The Brat" simily "the brat" and. nothing more. She is - Blaijgy, quick tempered and tpunky but she loves every living thing. One night she is fired from the company because her wardrobe is too shabby even for the tawdry crowd that surrounds her. She leaves the theatre

and is insulted by a masher. She slaps his face and he, in turn, has her arrested charging her with having accosted him. "The brat" Is hailed to the Night Court and she is so hungry and desperate that she would welcome a cell lure that at least she would have a place to sleep and something to eat. A famous author present in the Night Court for the purpose of studying the seamy side of life sees in this waif of the gutter an ideal "type" for the heroine of his novel and he salvages her from the wrecks in the dock and takes her home. There a new life opens for her. the

novelist begins to take an interest ini her other than as a type jealousy of the artist's fiance rears its head and the battle is on between rags and riches. Miss Patti McKinley who will play the role of "The Brat" has fallen in love with the role during rehearsals and that means an even better lead than she usually plays. Director Boyle will stage "The Brat" exactly as it was staged by Morosco during its long run and in

every way it is going to be the dramatic treat of the season. MURRETTE Tyrone Power, one of the most famous of th3 elder stage actors, distinguished in Shakespearean and heroic roles, appears in "Dream Street, 'the D. W. Griffith master picture, closing tonight at the Murretto theatre. Perhaps the greatest of Mr. Power's achievement was his performance as the drain man in "The Servant in the House."

The photoplay production of "The Servant in the House" will be presented at the Murrette theatre, for a three days' engagement, commencing Thursday. MURRAY We are told that in Shakespeare's time only the name of the play was used on the bills announcing the play. How different are our modern showmanship methods. Some of the most attractive posters at present on the billboards of this city are those announcing the latest starring vehicle

The splendid suporting cast includes such prominent, stage and screen personages as Melbourne MacDowell and Mary Alden. The picture is show at the Murray theater. . Elinor Field, the winsome screen actress appearing in "Hearts and

Masks," a Federated production of the j

famous Harold MacGrath story, has. issued a warning to girls with a han't-i ering for the "fillums." j "If yon think life is just one long profitable vacation, once you've reached the top, you're mistaken," said the petite star. "There is very little leisure you are rushed from one pro-! duction into another. You have to work at all hours, and in all sorts of places. "You have to do stunts in almost every production.

The fact that critics and public, alike, have kept faith with both authors and managers in preserving the secret of the play, has had not a little to do with its astounding sucess. Without a doubt, the unexpwted climax of "The Bat" is the most surprising finish to a play ever staged. And it is

"Grinding at subjects results in a mastery of mind that cannot be obtained in any other way." The Greek and LaWn languages, he stressed, if not studied because of their beauty or interest in literature should be for the hard work required in them, such as probably no other study requires.

The little players live not act through nine reels. The direction is an exquisite and advanced work. The characters are delightfully human, really individual, and most interesting-. The action is touched with a quick glow of suspense that whips attention to a complete absorption. There are a great many sets, some very beautiful. The love scenes, we feel, are the most natural ever presented in the films. The production is wrapt in a great royal mantle of beauty.

THE CALL OF THE NORTH! And a clarion call it is that this splendid, vigorous story of the North woods sends out from the screen. "God's Country and the Law" has been made in the bold broad strokes of that master-craftsman JAMES OLIVER CURWOOD. The magic of the motion picture turns the warm and glowing pages of this masterly story into a pulsing, living drama, whose sheer charm and realism carry one away to that vast country "up there." It is the call of the North and everybody answers it.

This is the Picture you have been waiting foranother James Oliver Curwood picture filled with thrilling adventure and rerj-blooded action. It is one of his inimitable tales of the North Woods, of primitive men and beautiful women. It is the call of the north and everyone answers it. v
