CHRIST IN KENTUCKY
M. D. Pest's "The Mountain
Scheel TeacKcr" a Chris
tian Allegory
The lute William De Witt Hyde,
prcHidcnt of Bowdeln College, once
wrote n book In the course of which
lie expressed his crntifientlen thnt
Christian teaching wns net confined te
the Church. It wan found, he said, in
the heculnr prcsH, in novels and in the
theatre. Indeed, no pervasive wan the
Christian spirit that It was difficult for
him te find nny realm of thought where
It was net innnlfest. As te the theatre,
Dr. mile cited the plnvi "The Servant
In the Heuse" and "The Third Meer
Hack as preachments mere subtle and
mere powerful than four-fifths of the
formal sermons delivered from the pul
pit. Melville Davlssen Pest has joined
Charles Itnnn Kennedy nnd Jereme K.
Jereme in wrltlntt nn nllejtery in which
lie introduces n figure intended te bur
Best the Founder of Christianity. Mr.
Pest has hitherto confined himself
chiefly te detective or mysterv stories.
His "The Mountain Scheel Teacher"
(I). Appleton & Ce.) mlRht also be
called a mystery story, but it would
be in the medieval rather than In the
modern tense of the word "mystery."
The school teacher is n young man
whom Mr. Pest makes repeat in the
Kentucky mountains many of the Inci
dents of the life of Christ and come te
his death between two tlilcves nftpr n
.trial en trumped-up charges. The rns-
ter ei me village cnurcii is one or His
chief accusers, and the man who was
sent te nrrest him was paid in thirty
Bllver coins taken from the church col
lection. The story Is told with beauty and
reverence in surh a way as te plww the
contrast between the kindly, helpful nnd
sympathetic attitude of Christ toward
human frniltv and the censorious and
unhelpful attitude of the Kentucky
mountaineers. As n further illustra
tion of the manifestation of the spirit
of Christianity outside the Church the
bnek deserves the nttentlen of the clergy
at any rate.
"OUR MEDICINE MEN"
RAPS THE PROFESSION
One of the most controversial books
of the autumn season seems te be prom prem
ised in "Our Medicine Men," te be
published next month by the Century
Company. It is written, the publish
ers assure us, by one of the mnst dis
tinguished men in the medical pro
fession who prefers te remain anony
mous. The author scoffs at th" scientific
pretensions of present-day doctors, it
is &nid, and appears te believe that the
morale of the medical profession Is con
siderably below that of the old-time gen
eral practitioner, who attended people
in physical distress, was often a wise
counselor in nil torts of delicate mat
ters apart from physical illness, knew
nothing about splitting fees with high
priced specialists and made no sci
entific pretensions. The author, it is
said, makes n plen for compulsory post
mortem examinations, te the end that
doctor- who make flagrantly incerieet
diagnoses may bear the burden of their
mistakes. .
If it is n book that vwll start some
thunder and lightning in the medical
atmosphere it ought te de geed, as it
iu pretty generally agreed that that at
mosphere is rather stuffy.

INTERMARRIAGE
Maud Diver Discusses Racial
Problem in Striking New
Nevel
The old problem of Intermarriage of
races has an admittedly different aspect
when India is considered, but even then
It is vexatious, te soy the bast. In
"Awakening" (DedJ. Mead & Ce.),
which Mnnd Diver published In England
under the title "Lllamanl," Mrs. Diver
has made n careful and undcrtandlns
study of the problem.
Her answer comes in a sequel, "Far
te Seek," rather than In the present
book. The entire nubject probably is
se complex and se ilnister in some of Its
aspects that "Awakening" can be per
mitted te be the ground work for the
real work.
Fer lier Angle-Indinn romance Mrs.
Diver takes a beautiful hlgh-cusU girl
who gees te France te get away fren.
the cloister-like and xtultlfied life of tlie
zenana, e: Indian harem. The reader
is given a clear, painstaking plctuie
of the mental workings of the gill a
she comes Inte contact with the freer
mingling of the sexes among th F.u F.u
repeans. SJic falls In love with n
young Englishman, who pushes aside all
harriers or enste or rank and lays siege
te the girl. In winning her he also
wins the inspiration that Ind been
lacking for bis nrtlMie career.
It is after the ntnriiugi! that the bar
riers of the union begin te creep out,
nnd Mrs. Diver brings out the human
ness of each one the love of country
pulling in different directions, the'eevert
and net te be cracd pride of caste en
ouch side, the garKhncss of romance
after the first flood of roseate color Is
being effaced by time all these are
brought out .powerfully. ,
Just as tlie nnsuer te the problem
seems te have been answered In a se
vere negative, the author gives a hint
of a liapiy home in the approaching
motherhood of Lllamanl. Hut even
then she holds off th specter of the
Eurasian taint en the expected new
comer and leaves in suspense the qui's qui's
tien of whnthcr the little newcomer can
keep bound the tis that prejudice i
attempting te sever. The reading .if
"Awakening" will leave the reader,
even these net cemcrsnnt with the pe
culiar problems of India, anxious for
the sequel.
GHOSTS!!!
. ,
Real Honest-te-Shivery Story Is
"Five Nights at Five Pines"
The bleak, storm-harried Cape Ced
coast Is an ideal locale fen story that
flirts with the occult and depends upon
secret staircases, cerie paddling foot
steps in the dead of night dnd myste
rious lights for its thrills. Se up in the
lonely heuse In the Cape Ced country
Mrs. Avery Gaul has placed most of
the action of "Five Nights at the Five
Pines" (Century Company). "Action"
is used advisedly because there is hardly
a paragraph that does net spatter ever
with unexpected incidents.
The house of the Five Pines la
rented by a New Yerk woman and for
four nights she encounters apparitions
of all kinds each mere fearsome than
its predecessor . After each scare the
author relates borne pnst history of the
house nnd cleverly dovetails the sup
posed psychical happening into a seem
ingly logical occult explanation. It Is
net until the fifth night that everything
is given n plain, matter-of-fact con
clusion matter-of-fact as compared
te the actual events, but far fetched
except under the privileges of literary
license.
Since the wave of spiritualistic re
search swept Great Britain a few years
age the psjehic has had an Important
finger in the books and plays of the
tight little island. The influence has
also been felt ever here, but probably
until "The Charlatan" no American
dramatist or author attempted the ma
terialization of a ghost and wanted it
te be accepted seriously. In England
a real, honest-te-shiverlness ghost is
an essential part of a real "best seller.'
It remains te be seen hew the public
will accept its ghosts as offered by
"The Charlatan." If it does theu au
thors like Mrs. Gaul can be counted
upon te let their spooks run riot and
net fade away with the dawn and the
enekliiiKs of tlie "there aint no eicb
animule" critics.
CHINESE DRAMA DESCRIBED
BY ONE WHO UNDERSTANDS IT
The history, nnalysls and description
of the drama in China prove te be far
mero interesting te the Occidental mind
!lnn actual presentation of Chinese
dramas themselves.
Kate Huss in "The Chinese Drama"
(Four Seas Company) presents in n
clear and well-ordered fanhlnn many
phases of this sublect, starting with
the origin of the dramu in that far
away country, trcuting the tyncs of
plays, the actors and the music, dis
cussing the netable religious Influence
en the drama, analyzing the plays as
literature nnd, finally. In a very Inter
esting chapter, touching en the Oriental
customs of the playheuse and preen
room.
It is only by such volumes ns this
one. written In lucid and sympathetic
style and pointing out sanely and con
cisely the entirely different standards
bv which the drama of the East and
West must be judged, that we con lenrn
te nppreclate and enjoy the Chinese
and Japanese dinnia at their real
worth.
Most unusual engravings and full
page Illustrations play a, large part in
"The Chlnesi) Drama" and help give u
final and definite reality te a subject
that Is ns strange as it is Interesting.

"Cappy" Itlcks, thnt irascible, lov

Peter B. Kync'n fertile imagination
and facile pen, stnnds by himself as an
American characterization. Frem
"Cappy's" first bow te the public in
the Saturday Evening Pest, ttireugh bis
many vicissitudes, the energetic old
shipping mnslcr never has relaxed his
Slace In popular" favor. In "Cappy
licks Retires (Cosmopolitan Heek
Corporation) Mr. Kyne has reassembled
some mero of Cappy's happyrge-lucky
exploits Inte a sort of episodic novel.
It Is really a series of short stories,
each of which simply radiates the geed
humor of the nuthnr, who plainly rev
els In unfeldlna the traits and foibles of
his favorite character. Ner arc the
miner satellites who revolved about
Cappy neglected. Hrnwhy Matt Peas

the penny-pinching Skinner, all step

own niche in the story, nor Is the
slightest detail of, character limning

In this latest Cappy Ricks collection
Cappy has several of his Inimitable ad
ventures of the sea nnd in the financial
lumber mart. Once in n while lit
comes n cropper, but usually he bobs
up scrcnelv at the end te murmur his
famous "Pink Teed Prepbct" maledic

Kicks Is that Mr. Kyne never has per

old gentleman is nrf well drawn and
thought out us its predecessor. Tlic
old chap is seventy, but he premises te

nnd his final passing will be n real

-AT BEST IN "DULCY"
Charming Star Shine3 Out Over
Cast In Bright
Comedy
Ilreritt A charming young lady named
Dulclnca Smith served in the double
capacity last night of keeping a house
party in het water and nn audience in
a geed humor.
It was her meddling in the business
affairs of her husband thnt caused nil
the complications in "Dulcy," thi:.
comedy by Geerge S. Knufmnn ana
Mnrc Connelly, but It was nlse that
meddling and her remnrkable string of
bromides which she used constantly
and generally In the wrong place that
dcligbted the onlookers.
Thanks te Miss Lynn Fentnnne who
played the title role, some rather shoddy
inlscnstlng In the supporting roles went
unnoticed. Ah n matter of fact,
"Dulcy" rotated and revolved around
the attractive, but unfortunate young
nintren wbe invited her husband's busi
ness ns-'eclatcs te a house party nnd
then proceeded te put her dainty feet
Inte everything she attempted te de.
Dulcy meant well, however, nnd though
the audience actually xriuirmed in their
scats at each new "break" she made,
they forgave her as readily as her hus
band did.
Perhaps Miss Fentanne'a most de
licious bit of acting was toward the
end of the hectic doings 'at that house
party. It Is the morning after an eve
ning of most unfortunate contretemps;
nil the guests blame the young hostess
for nil their troubles; se, when she
comes mournfully down te breakfast,
she can find no enreurngement no ere
te take her In te the dining room.
Finally, when she docs find n sympa
thetic individual, the tinthctic smile that
overspread Miss Fentannc's face and
the quickness with which she rcveitcJ
te bubbling geed humor and the ability
te sav the tritest things In the most de
lightful way, quite wen every one ever
te the young star's army of admirers.
It's a rather luckv thing thnt the co
authors of "Dulcy" have filled It with
sparkling and really clever lines, nnd
se have made it "actorpreof." We re
pent It's lather lucky as this particular
cast isn't se geed. James Gleasen !
ngreeable as the harassed husband who
embraces Dulcy ene moment and up
braids her the next. Geerge Abbett Is
te unlike the nuthers' conception n.-i
William (and se different from Gregery
Kelly who first played the role) that
he comes first as a rather stiff jolt, but
his acting, it must be admitted, is
first rate. Heward Lindsey ns tbt.
"scenarist, net scenario writer," is
top-notch, nnd the scene where he (per
hans the oddest of nil Dulcv'a nrfil cel
lectien of guests) gives nn outline of
ins newest 111m is the play's highest
comedy point.
Otherwise, it's mostly Dulcy and her
platitudes that carry the responsibility
of this most excellent of recent Ameri
can comedies.

Her depleting of the flapper tele tele tele

however, was that of the American

THRILLS CROWD FAST
IN 'STORM' ON SCREEN
Film Version of Melodrama
Better Than Mechanical
Stage Affair
Karlfen Blizzards howl and rapids
rush nnd forest fires blnze In such rapid
succession in "The Storm" that the
natural supposition would be that no
time or opportunity would be left for
human beings te play rational and
plnuslble parta. j
Nevertheless, the filmed version of i
thlsLnngdonMcCermii'k thriller Is se far
superior te the cumbersome and futile
stage mele, with Its trick-falling trees i
nnd poorly simulated flames, that there
Is no real comparison. On the screen the
story is still, of necessity, melodra
matic, but the thrills arc legitimate; a1
real snowstorm swcotisThe ulne valley ;
real trees fall before the fiery tongues
of flame; a real canee sheets swirling
rapids between frowning cliffs.
In fact, that canoe thrill comes pretty
near te eclipsing the fire. It is magnifi
cently done, with just two persons (pre
sumably the heroine nnd her father)
apparently facing Instant death In a
mad whirlpool. If Miss Virginia Vnlll
wns in that canoe at any time during
this sequence of scene (and we were
sure we saw her face in one dangerous
stretch) we take off our hats te the
young lady.
She performs almost as creditably In
the scenes which called for real acting ;
se did Matt Moere as "the city feller" ;
and Heuso ePters. ns the backwoods
man, wns at his best, which meant a
striking and dignified and sincere per-,
trnyal. Jesef Swirknrd contributes n
fine miner characterization,
The story concerning the trapping
of three peeeplc, two chums and a girl
in a snowbound mountain cabin, and
the love triangle which developed and
wrecked the perfectly geed friendship of
the men hns been worked out Intelli
gently nnd clearly, thanks te some fine
direction by Bcglnald Barker, Tbc big
gest thing In fnver of this melodrama
is that we learn te like and understand
the characters.
Aldlne Max Llndcr has at last
nchieved the makins of a picture in this
country which ranks pretty close te our
average plioteplay products. It Is a
burlesque perhaps n travesty, but
never n satire en Alexandre 'Dumas'
"Three Musketeers," and is called
"The Thre-Must-Get-Theres."
Linder in appearance suggests the
Gascon lineage of our noble D'Artag
nan, but his stature is net such ns
heroes are went te be made of and thnt
helps make his characterization funny.
Even funnier Is the ponderous "Bull"
Mentana, as the shrewd and craftv Car
dinal Richelieu. The three musketeer
friends of D'Artacnnn, with their
brawling nnd fighting, nnd their often
n vowed slogan of "All for One, On for
All." are also moderately amusing.
The staging is elnberate enough te be
suited te a nerieus filming of some his
torical romance, though, of course, it
fades beside Douglas Fairbanks' ver
sion. It's perhaps lucky, however, that
the scenes nre well photographed and
se pretentious, ns they often serve te
take our minds off the silly parts of the
parody. Beal laughs (of the hearty
guffaw type) are few and far between,
cither In sub-titles or action, but there
are a number of quiet chuckles nnd
plenty of telcrnnt smiles for these who
knew their Dumas well enough te catch
the drift of the burlesque. Others will
probably be frankly bored and mystified.

Arcadia The idea of burlesquing
that old favorite theme of the Ameri
can youth fighting and romancing his
way through a ten-penny mythical
kingdew was a geed one, nnd Jehn
Emersen and Anita Loes were appar
ently the Ideal couple te construct such
a photoplay, but the result of their ef
forts is net entirely satisfactory. "Bed "Bed
Het Remance" has its moments of de
licious fun, and seme of the satirical
thrusts are splendid, but, at ether
times, the humor becomes silly, and
the sub-titles sillier still. The "stand
ing array," the drunken king, the ob
sequious courtiers and ether aspects of
the kingdom of Bunkenin, capital at
Sante Graf te, arc all treated, and the
only departure from the Grauestark
type is the fact that the heroine fs net a
princess, but an American girl. Frank
Laler is droll ns the King. Basil Sid
ney altogether out of the picture as the
American here, and May Cellins pretty
and bright ns the heroine. Duels dot
the picture like huckleberries in a New
England orchard.
Victeria Everybody has been
talking about Tem Mix's smart horse,
Teny, and se they've honored this
knowing equine by naming n film after
him. "Just Teny" Is typical Western
stuff, with the advantage of the won
derful sagacity of this beautiful horse
as a saving grace. Mix himself wisely
plays second llddle te the horse when
ever possible, and Teny, in the rele of
a wild, desert mustang, "holds the
spotlight." Frank Campeau, than
whom there is no mere engaging villain,
and Claire Adams, as the sweet young
thing, are ether hard-working mem
bers of the cast.
Capitel A little bit different
than Dustin Farnum's usual vehicles Is
"Oathbeund," a story of river pirates
and smugglers. A motorboat race be
tween two prize-winning craft, enlivens '
the action. Nerman Selby (Kid Mc
Coy) plays the part of a sleuth re
alistically; Maurice (Lefty) Flynn
makes much out of a supporting role,
and the star and Ethel Terry take care
of the love Interest In capable fashion.
Geed photography nnd acting partially
atene for a rather futile plot and some
execrable sub -titles.
