Upton Sinclair And Jack tendon, In
double harneai, nre more than likely to
product aomalhlng unusual. And that
ti ;mt what "The Cry for Justice" (John
0, Winston Company, Philadelphia) tli
?re of being called. Jack London, who
yppls an Introduction, dubs It the ltu
Manlst Holy nook to rank with the Bible,
Xqran nd Talmud as a stirrer up of
thought and action. Mr. Sinclair, who
complied It from the writings of think-
rs nnd. doers between Job and J. P,
Morgan, subtitles It "An Anthology of
the Literature of Social Protest."
At any rate, It Is a remarkable 009 pages
ef sjrsat words and bitter cries. Pnge 4M
discloses that Dante said of hereditary
nobility! "Not with words, but with
knives must one answer such a beastly
netlon." Just across from him Plato
tells the guardians of his new republic
that there are two things that they must
Iftep without their city riches and pov
erty. A turn to the front of the book
finds Ksnko Itoshl, Buddhist priest of the
fourteenth century, statins the belief on

many's social legislation: "It Is desira

morals when ho has no ordinary means

wrestling with the puro food problem.
Round the corner, St. Cyprian deals thus

of the llth century, prescribes Btate so

When we reach modern days we de
scend to Irony. Shaw and Anatole France
hare the field with Taft and Morgan.
Frwnco says, "The law In Its majestic
quality forbids tho rich as well as the
poor to sleep under bridges, to bee In
the streets and to steal bread." Taft
contributes his famous "God knows" to
tho unemployment problem; and Morgan
Is there with his answer to the Indus

as to whether (10 a week U enough for
a longshoreman with a family to sup

takes It, I should say It's enough."
Many fine reproductions of pictures and
sculpturo decorate "The Cry for Justice,"
and drive home the double puzzle of Its
pages i How so much that once was bit
terly denounced ns literary treason Is the
commonplace of today, and how so much
that the world In only tentatively turn
ing to now has been championed through
the centuries by some of tho finest minds
of men.

Fielding Sermon Never Seen by
Modern Collector Bought by
Former Philadclphlan
When a book by a man of fame Is not
to be found In the British Museum or
the Bedlelan Library at Oxford, the
average person would be apt to give up
looking for It. It Is only the Indegatlga
ble collector who continues to hope
against hope. And It Is only such a col
lector Frederick 8. Dickson, for In
stancewho might stumblo ovor the only
copy In Christendom of a sermon by
Fielding.
"The Crisis; a Bermon," has been one
of the msterles of the literary world.
Until the other day the only proof of Its
existence, as well as of Its authorship,
was a note In Nichols Literary Anecdotes
of 1814, that In n, copy of "The Crisis,"
printed for A. Dodd, London, 1741, there
was an Indorsement on tho title page:
"This sermon was written by the lato
Mr. Kidding, author of 'Tom Jones,' etc.,
ns the printer of It assured me. 11. B."
Who "U. II." was no one knows, but
since then this Item has been credited to
Fielding by all of his score of biograph
ers. Nono of whom, however, claims
ever to have seen n copy.
Ono day last summer Mr, Dickson, who
Is n noted collector of Fielding, ns well
as n former Phllndelphlan. received a
letter from H. Williams, a bookseller of
Hove, England, offering him a cortnln
obscure sermon by Flolding for tho nb

"The Closing Net," Harmless
Melodrama About Reformed
Crook, Comes Under Ban
By the Photoplay Editor
Tho newest, nim to fnll under tho locnl
censor's ban Is "Tho Closing Net," a
rathe production There can bo no ques
tion of cuts or diminutions; the film Is
banned ns a whole. The note of rojee
tlon sent by the Hoard of Censors to
O. II. Atwood. manager of the I'athc ox
ohnnrro on Vine street, merely rends:
"Condemned In neeordsneo with section
6 of the act See. Standard numbers C

Section No. 6 of tho specifications of

Prolonged Pnsslonnto Love Scenes.

Bectlon number 10 bans:
Underworld scenes. Opium dens, ob
jectionable dnnccs, ntrtntlons, question
able resorts, etc. The board will re
quire thut when scones of this kind
are produced, It will be In such n man
ner that no spectator I stimulated to
duplicate them or similar scenes, and
will require that when the portraynl
of scenes of this type Is necessary to
tho development of a story. It be truth
ful nnd complete, nnd that no false
notion or Rlnmor, Rnyety or romantic
venture lead nny one to misapprehend
tho true character of such scenes, but
rather show the essential sordldness nnd
shallowness, discontent mid commer
cialism on which these scenes rest. The
board cautions producers against at
tempting such scenes, as these pictures
aro shown to both ndults nnd children,
and If such aro produced, they should
bo mado ns far as posslblo unintelli
gible to children.
Tho Photoplny Hdltor wns present at
Manager Atwood's preliminary scrcinlnff
of "Tho Closing Net" before It went to
the censors' ofllco on Wednesday, It Is
an Inoffensive melodrama of the usual

not certainly beyond his thirties Except
for tho early episodes of his life, the film

In an nutomobllo chase the Clam Is
wounded by his adversary and rescued
by a charming oung lady chauffeur, who
ultimately shoots the gangster during a

The Clam, with tho would-bo assassin
out of tho way, settles down to a life
of virtue nnd hnpplness.
The truth of themntter Is probably that
the board wns moed to look censoriously
on the wholo picture by a short scene, In
which Lcontlne wears black skin tights
nnd a black mask as a night disguise. The
use of the disguise has little to do with
tho plot; but on Uie other hand, thcro Is
more discretion In Us ubo than In Its In
troduction. Tho lovo scene enacted by tho
Clam and Leontlno Is nothing out of tho
ordinary. The censors might easily have
cut out portions showing the disguise.
Mr. Atwood has mado a formal nppeal
to the board and has wired the Pathe of

By
Theodore Dreiser
Author of "Sister Carrie," "The Titan," etc.
H Eugene Witla is one of those strange personalities which oc
casionally spring up among the humdrum types of common life, an
exotic flower in a vegetable garden. Brilliant, irregular, unstable,
he attracts and repels in the book as in life. The story deals with
Ms rise as an artist, and later as a business man. '
Tl He is one of those powerful and yet fragile personalities to
whom great success and great disaster almost inevitably come. His
weakness lies in the insatiable hunger of his mind and body for the
charm of feminine youth and beauty. His conquests form a series
of fascinating episodes, gay with all the colors of love and art.
U Eugene is in search of the "Impossible Sho." When he is at
the height of his success, he finds her. He reaches out his arms
