The landlords of "wedding ree- '

the Prefect of Police. saying that
some of these banquets were order-
ed months ago. long before the ord-
inance of the two dishes came into

ception be made in favor of wedding
feasts.

"No compromise. no exception."

American Education week has been
sponsored irectly by the bureau of
education. lit the observance this
year was turned over to private edu-

referred to in the statement. is the
bureau's official publication.

The historical statement follows in
full text:

American Education week will be
observed this year with the Nation-
al Education association and the
American Legion as its chief spon-
acre. The bureau of Education will
not participate actively. Its work in
this behalf has been accomplished.
American Education week is now a
fixed event in the educational calen-
der. and no further need exists for

December 5 to it as “School Week"
and urged governors and chief state
school officers to take proper action
"to cause the people to use this
week in such a way as will most ef-
fectlvely disseminate among th‘d
people accurate information in re-
gard to the conditions and needs of
the schools. enhance appreciation of
the value of education. and create
such interest as will result in better
opportunities for education of all
kinds and grades."‘

Within a short time letters were
sent to state officers. school super-
intendents. college picsldents. news-
paper aad megasiae editors. labor
unions. civic organisations. and oth-
er a-ociationa in great numbers.
urging cooperation in the oveervance
for the benefit of the schools.

A recurring period of educational
rcireahening is of value beyond per-
adventurc. and American Education
week is a device of such excellence
that there should be no doubt of its
permanence.

Magic In Garden
Of London Church

The little patch of a fiower gar-
den in St. Paul's churchyard in
which a fiowered text. chosen each
year by the Dean. is grown. has
taken on added interest to London-
era and visitors. in this year's floral
design there are two crossed swords
over a shield. Several persons assert
that a‘. nightfall they have seen one
of the swords rise and stand upright
as they passed.

The beadle who looks after the
garden says a possible explanation
of the illusion is that as the ground
slopes away from the road the
sword composed of silver leafed Al-
pine plant appears to lift and meet
a fast approaching observer. such
as a bus passenger.

The silver leafed Alpine plants
are particularly conspicuous late at
night because of the [listening of
the leaves wet with dew.

Brim
Big Improvement

British movie producers are put-
tins more eifort into their work
and film tans throughout Britain
are jubilant over the announcement
that several British-nade _ films.
which have been shown privately
and are soon to be released. are
really of outstanding merit.

'Mons" is the most notable of
these. it is the British answer to
"The Big Parade." and was pre.
pared with the mt!” Of the

 

 

 

Army Council. It is an epic of the
great retreat. It is the work of
Walter Summon. who has produced
"Nelson." a aemi~biogrsphicai story
of the great naval hero, in which
Gertrude McCoy plays the role of
Lady Hamilton and Eric Hardwicke
is Nelson. The Admiralty assisted
in the production.

“Mademoiselle from Armentleree"
is the work of Maurice Elvey and
Estelle Brody plays the role of the
little French girl who is in love with
a. British "Tommy." The film is
somewhat like “The Big Parade."
but the British critics say it con.
tains less exaggeration. "The Big
Parade" is still running at the Rivoli
in London. however. in spite of the
efforts of critics to squash it when
it. was first shown three months
ago.

An English company is filming
"The Flag Lieutenant." which was
one of Cyril laude'a great stage
successes. The Admiralty also is
cooperating in this work in spite of
the criticism which the British press
has heaped on the American army
and navy from time to time for their
participation in popular illm dramas.

Hogan Saved His
Act, But Stella

Had Fierce Scare

Michael Hogan had to do some
very quick thinking recently to keep
a performance of Dostoevslk's "The
idiot" at the Little Theater from go-
ing to pieces when the revolver with
which he was supposed to kill the
heroine failed to go off.

Improvislng the line “I can't do
it!" he threw the weapon away and
choked the heroine to death so
reallsticly that persons in the audi-
ence who are not familiar with the
play did not realize there was a.
hitch in action.

Miss Stella Arbenina.
acting the role of the murdered
heroine got a bad fright. - d‘

"Before I knew “nut was going
on I found myself 23‘ my knees
screaming. and Mr. Hogan was
clutching at my throat in a way that
made me think he was mad. My
throat is still sore. but it is wonders
fill that he was able to save the
scene." she said.
