Eviction of Imogene
Mr. Ziegfeld Establishes a
Precedent

Life is getting harder for the chorus girl. Last week Florenz Ziegfeld issued à general order (by telegraph, as is his custom) to omit Imogene Wilson from further performances of his current Follies. And all because she got herself in the newspapers for an alleged punch in the eye at the hand of Frank Tinney, piebald comedian.

In a newspaper interview the lovely Miss Wilson reported that she never wanted to see Tinney again, that she was through with Broadway, that she had accepted a motion picture contract out West "where men are men, and not black-face comedians."

The greedy newspapers, swollen with the story, alarmed the finical Florenz. He wired his press agent to keep Imogene out of the newspapers.

The Daily News, which first caused gum-strengthened jaws to drop at her adventure, saw the comedian and the comediennie on a friendly promenade hear Broadway. Mr. Tinney smashed the News photographer's camera.

Mr. Tinney sailed for Europe. Imogene visited him on the steamer. Variety (theatrical weekly) concluded that they must be reconciled since they spent several hours in his stateroom apparently in earnest conference. The newspapers bulged anew. Igomene went back to the Follies and found herself without a job.

In the midst of the mêlée newspaper reporters asked Mrs. Tinney (there is one) whether Frank's pranks appealed to her. "Be yourself," answered Mrs. Tinney cryptically. A few hours before he sailed, Frank was served with papers in a suit for separation, What of it?

The eviction of Imogene marks a serious break in theatrical tradition. Heretofore chorus girls, particularly Follies girls, were supposed to get themselves into the newspapers. Newspapers or separation papers-it all came to the same thing. The public reads and runs to the box office. Witness Countess Peggy Upton Archer Hopkins Joyce Morner who can neither act nor sing nor dance. Simply by her extraordinary endurance and ability to keep on getting married and keep on getting in the newspapers she keeps on getting star's situations in expensive musical revues.

Imogene meant no wrong. She was simply striving for an honest living. Ziegfeld has blocked her road, because Tinney blacked her eye. The time may

Some in spats and polished hats and some in velvet gowns, London ladies and gentlemen strolled last week to the French Gallery, Pall Mall, to see the works of Philip A. de Laszlo, famed modern portrait painter. There they peered at many countenances-dark, important faces; faces pinched with arrogance, petulant with breeding; faces proud; faces fair. From the walls, these faces peered back-among them:

Mrs. R. E. Warde, a tall, brunette lady with wavy hair-a renowned figure, long one of the reigning beauties of England. Known as a gifted amateur actress in London's smartest set, she was always becoming engaged to Princes, Dukes, Ambassadors on paper. In 1919 she frustrated journalistic matchmakers, married R. E. Warde, a young officer of the Scots Guards;

Lady Apsley, once Violet Meeking, a great heiress. Last Winter she married Lord Apsley, D.S.O., M.C., M.P., familiar visitor to the U. S.

Lady Anastasia Wernher, wife of Sir D. Julius Wernher (South African mines), known as "Lady Zia"; her sister, "Lady Nada," the Marquess of Milford Haven.

Lady Davson, daughter of Elinor Glyn (Three Weeks); and a galaxy of ⚫thers.

Philip de Laszlo's portraits are attractive, well-bred, charming-like his subjects. They have vivacity without exaggeration, strength without loss of delicacy. While his forte is the feminine, he paints occasional males if they are notable. Among the Americans who have qualified are the late Theodore Roosevelt and John W. Davis.

At Marblehead

Blue water-the hulk of a smudgy oiler-the sails of little boats, like petals fallen on an azure field-the Summer sky. This is the setting that

frames Marblehead, Mass., and this, in Marblehead's annual Art exhibition, is painting No. 1, by John P. Benson. Once port of call for East Indiamen, rich and important, with tea, silks and spices piled in its warehouses, the old town drowses now, lost in the hush of a dream. Wharves rot; rats squeak in deserted storerooms; tiny pleasure-craft have replaced the tall schooners, rich Summer residents the bustling Tory merchants. However, quaint local traditions, local characters, still survive. There is the Poet Postman, unique Man of Letters, who for 30 years has delivered bills and dreamed of billetdoux, has written 1,000 poems, some of which have been published. He is painted in the exhibit by Orlando Ruland, who has also caught on canvas Daddy Scott, toymaker, who whittles wooden animals for Marblehead children.

At Lyme

As by the elms that line its street, the hills that watch its roofs, Lyme, Conn., is sentinalled by artistic good usage, Last fortressed by aesthetic tradition. week in Lyme a plume of goldenrod was seen, which would have informed all but an outsider that an Art exhibit was in progress-for each year Art comes to Lyme with the goldenrod. This year, the exhibition satisfied all demands by being up to the standard of those in the past; to have made it noticeably better would have seemed to the natives a bit vulgar; to have made it worse would have been impossible-for artistic Lyme.

Dean of the coterie is Bruce Crane. He is exhibiting two canvases. Both embody the sort of delicate lyric treatment of wood scenes upon which his reputation rests-scenes having the atmosphere of a hazy, glamorous afternoon in the forest of Broceliande. There are other lyricists also who do very well with the same sort of thing-Frank Vincent DuMond, greeneries; William S. Robinson, mountain laurel in bloom; Guy Wiggins, birch saplings, crumbling walls. All this is the sympathetic rendering of local nature that is characteristic of Lyme exhibits. There are also artists who paint cattle, balletdancers, ships. Will Howe Foote's Southcote-Bermuda stands out among the many typical paintings for its imaginative execution. Here and there in the exhibit, one can detect a disturbing hint, a fugitive suggestion of modernism, but such instances are rare and -un Lyme-like.

RELIGION

Northfield

Northfield, Mass., synonym for Dwight L. Moody, gives shelter to one conference after another. Its most famous "General Conference" closed last week. Said one Jessie Donahue, acting as special correspondent of the Boston Transcript:

"Taken in connection with a locale such as Northfield offers, with its gently undulating stretches of greensward, its wooded hills and the blue mountain heights which rise in the distance, such a conference cannot but have a lasting value too great to be measured."

The Conference was opened by William R. Moody, son of the great Evangelist. Northfield, said he, unequivocally affirms the deity of the Nazarene.

Science was challenged by an English divine, John D. Jones. He preached on the text: They limited the Holy One of Israel. Now, said he, Science sets a limit to God's power, but: "I will set no limit to God's power. . . Let us

treat our big God in a big way."

Rev. Prof. Archibald T. Robertson, of Louisville, lectured seven times to preachers on the subject of preaching. He warned them against "rote, rut and rot."

Rev. Dr. John Gardner, of California, conducted a course on "Some of the Great Doctrines of the Christian Church, especially Sin and Redemption, from a Modern Point of View."

Another Britisher, J. Stuart Holden, Vicar of St. Paul's, London, preached a series on "Some Aspects of the Highway of Life"- -an exposition of the immortal Corinthians I, Chapter XIII. To the young he said: "Don't be afraid of modern thought. There is infinitely more danger in modern thoughtlessness.'

work of this Order is well known. Its championship* of American principles and ideals. .

Forthwith, John Barton Payne, on behalf of his American Red Cross, presented the Knights with a portrait of Pope Pius X (1835-1914), purchased in Mexico. Supreme Knight Flaherty of Philadelphia reviewed the "Casey" year. Pope Pius XI let fall his apostolic benediction through the writing of Cardinal Gasparri and the lips of Edward L. Hearn, K. C., Commissioner at Rome.

Next day, a South Dakota Bishop, Bernard J. Mahoney, performed a paradox. He condemned the Ku Klux Klan without naming it and at the same time scored the two larger political Conventions for having failed to name it in their condemnations.

Among other greetings, this was read: "The Independent Order of B'rith Abraham, the largest Jewish fraternity in the world, sends fraternal greetings and best wishes."

(Signed) ADOLPH STERN,

Grand Master.

Daniel A. Tobin, of Brooklyn, was elected Supreme Director to succeed William P. Larkin, Manhattanite.

Before dispersing, the "Caseys" voted to become book and magazine censors, "to organize and finance a movement for fighting the dissemination of immoral and harmful literature." Further, they voted $38,000 to restore the statue of their patron, Christopher, which was destroyed some years gone by earthquakes where it stood on his second landing spot at Aguadilla, Porto Rico.

Floridian Jews

If the Secretary of the St. Petersburg, Fla., Chamber of Commerce has his way, that city will shelter no son of Abraham, or of Isaac, or of Jacob. He, James Coad, desires to maintain the neighborly spirit which he reckons to be one of the chief assets of the locality. Said he:

"St. Petersburg is a city of homes. It has no slums. I believe that the influx of foreigners here (and I class the Jews as foreigners) is detrimental to the city and would tend to produce slums and destroy the neighborly feeling that is now an asset here. . . . I know that many Jewish families plan to come here in the Fall, and that two Jews will come here to enter the real estate business. I believe the time has come to draw the line against all foreigners and make this a 100% American and Gentile city. There are inevitable slums where there are many foreigners, and we want to be able to continue to brag that we have no slums here."

*The Mayor of the biggest city in the world is a partial illiterate. What he must have meant here was "championing."

EDUCATION

Wise

A wise woman, with fine clothes 5 strut, makes for the most famous ave nue within reach. A wise man, with fine theories to air, hies him to the most important conference or institute that will admit him.

Last week at Williamstown, Mass., wise men talked, wise men disputed The fair mountain atmosphere was charged with theories. This was 2: the founders of the Institute of International Politics had intended. Oper discussion is good for the understanding.

But the public was perplexed, as it usually is when wise men disagree Dr. William S. Culbertson, U. S Tariff Commissioner, presided over sessions on International Finance, read a letter to the Institute from Congressman Theodore E. Burton, of Ohio, a member of the U. S. Debt-Funding Commission. Said Mr. Burton: "The sentiment of the people of the U. S. is overwhelmingly against release of the so-called foreign debts."

Immediately up jumped Roland W Boyden, of Boston, onetime unofficia U. S. observer with the Reparations Commission. Said he: "Business principles and economic facts in the end are bound to cause a revision of the interAllied debts."

The flurry passed. Came comment on the Dawes report, plaudits for the League. Then David Hunter Miller, New York lawyer, started another tempest. Mr. Miller's admission ticket to the Institute was compounded of service with the American Peace Commission and experience as counsel for the German Government on the Upper Silesian question before the League in 1921.

He pointed with pride to the League's aims and accomplishments in disarming the world, belittled the results of the 1921 Washington Conference on Limitation of Armament.

Hot debate followed. An Admiral, three Rear Admirals, a college protes sor and a writer of naval affairs heckled Mr. Miller; a League secretary (a woman) assisted him. The naval men stuck for "limitation" as differing from "disarmament."

Read Admiral William L. Rodgers, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the General Board of the U. S. Navy, had attended the Institute "determined to be as disagreeable as ever." He is a pale man, but can see red Chafed by three days of peace palaver Rodgers blurted out that before the century ends the U. S. will, the U. S. should, plunge into a war of aggres sion.

LAW

Clarence Darrow

To a greater extent than that of any ther lawyer in the history of Ameriinc jurisprudence, the professional life of Clarence S. Darrow* has consisted in lefending men standing in the shadow of the gallows with the hostile eyes of the country upon them.

Born at Kinsman, Ohio, Apr. 18, 1857, Darrow, without much education, in his early twenties made his way to Chicago. There he studied law at night; became the partner of Governor Altgeld. His first important murder case was as defender, in the 90's, of the youth Prendergast, who had killed Carter Harrison, Mayor of Chicago. His client in this instance was hanged, but Darrow's defense was characterized by no less an observer than Brand Whitlock as the "most eloquent appeal for mercy that he had ever heard."

Then in 1907, he became chief counsel for the defense in the trial of the labor leaders, "Big Bill" Haywood (now a fugitive in Russia), Moyer and Pettibone, indicted for the murder of ex-Governor Stuenenburg, of Idaho. He was brilliantly successful in this trial, and when, in April, 1911, the McNamara brothers were arrested for dynamiting the building of the Los Angeles Times and union labor the country over rallied to their support and raised a huge fund for their defense, it surprised nobody that Clarence Darrow, of Chicago, was retained as chief counsel.

The McNamaras pleaded guilty and were sentenced-one to life imprisonment, the other to 15 years in the penitentiary. Darrow himself was then tried for having bribed a juror and having attempted to bribe a prospective juror. He conducted his own defense and, after a trial lasting nearly three months, was acquitted. In his speech to the jury, characterized as masterful even by the prosecution, he touched upon his whole personal and professional philosophy. He said, in part:

"I have practised law for many years. I do not go to a client and say: 'Are you guilty? Are you innocent?' I would not say it to you. Every man on earth is both guilty and innocent. I know it. You may not know it, but I know it. I find a man in trouble. In a way his troubles may have come by his own fault. In a way they did not. He did not give himself birth. He did not make his own brain. He is not responsible for his ideas. He is the product of all the generations that have gone before. And he is the product of all the people who touch him directly

Mr. Darrow, as everyone knows, is chief counsel for the Leopold-Loeb defense.

and indirectly through life, and he is as he is, and the responsibility rests on the infinite God that made him. I do what I can for him, kindly, carefully, as fairly as I can. . . . Just as the 'doctor finds that his patient must die, sc : came to me that this client was in

deadly peril of his life. Do you think that if I had thought there was one chance in a thousand to save him I would not have taken that chance? You may say I should not. That if I believed he was guilty, I should not have tried to save him. You may say so. I do not."

Darrow has been frequently characterized in the press as "a great stage artist, a greater artist than lawyer." One M. L. Edgar, in the St. Louis Mirror, has described his personal appearance thus: "Of more than average height, a frame that ambles along carelessly, with toes kicked up in process of walking-movements that range from slowness of contemplation to mercurial quickness of sudden resolution-on broad shoulders, a round head, marked by an oppressively full brow which overarches the face like a crag-eyes, of gooseberry size and color, which roam restlessly or assume a fixed expression as if looking into the secrets of Fate. His complexion is sallow and

leather-like, and his face is shot through with lines, lines which he will never permit a photographer to erase because, as he says, 'it cost me too much to get them.'"

It was a question in Mr. Darrow's early life as to whether he would devote himself chiefly to literature or to law. He is the author, among other books, of Persian Pearls, a book of essays; Farmington, a novel depicting life in a small Ohio town, highly praised at the time of its publication by such critics as the late William Marion Reedy and recently reprinted by Huebsch; Crime, Its Cause and Treatment, and Resist Not Evil. He has also contributed many articles to magazines and reviews, and the current American Mercury has an article by him entitled The Ordeal of Prohibition, designed to show that it has been the practice of civilized countries to fail to enforce, rather than to repeal, unwise and unpopular laws.

Fallon Acquitted

William J. Fallon, not yet 40, since the War the most daring and spectacular criminal lawyer of the New York Bar, was acquitted last week, after a dramatic trial lasting nearly two weeks before Judge McClintic (of Charleston, W. Va.), sitting in the U. S. District Court for the Southern District. of New York, of the charge of bribing, in 1922, a juror in the so-called DurrellGregory mail-fraud case. Fallon conducted his own defense, alleged that he was the victim of a far-reaching conspiracy on the part of certain editors and reporters of the New York American, acting under the personal orders of William Randolph Hearst, because he (Fallon) had in his possession the birth certificates of the children of a certain (un-named) prominent cinema

actress.

For years Fallon, the possessor of a singularly effective voice, has been noted as much for his continued appeals to jurors as for the vehemence of his cross-examination. "The truth will come to you," he said in his address to the jury on his own behalf (characterized as "perhaps the most brilliant achievement of his career" by the New York World), "clearly and suddenly as though written with chalk on a board, and you will know me innocent. I leave with you all that the world holds dear to me.".

The verdict of acquittal, given after five hours of deliberation, was the signal for what the press described as "one of the most remarkable demonstrations ever seen in a New York courtroom." Fallon, who never lost his poise, even during the anxious hours

of the jury's deliberation, thanked each juror individually and then was carried by his friends to a waiting automobile. The next day he held what amounted to a reception in a box at the baseball game at the Polo Grounds.

Assistant U. S. Attorney William J. Millard said after the trial: "I hope that William J. Fallon has learned his lesson and will become a noble, forceful character and a great power for good in this community."

In 1920, Fallon was chief counsel for "Nicky" Arnstein, so-called Master Mind of the $5,000,000 Wall Street bond theft plot. In 1922, he defended E. M. Fuller in two trials for bucketing, the jury in each trial being unable to agree. Charles W. Rendigs, the juror Fallon was accused of bribing in the Durrell-Gregory trial, also sat in one of the Fuller trials and voted steadfastly for acquittal. Rendigs is now a convicted perjurer awaiting sentence.

SCIENCE

Savants

Women's barber shops call themselves beauty parlors. Drug stores call themselves ice cream parlors. Clerks call themselves salesmen. Politicians call themselves statesmen. Flappers call themselves young ladies. But scientists call themselves scientists, and only newspapers call them savants.

But the word "savants" has been spread in the headlines of newspapers for the greater part of the week. What this signified was that some 2,000 hardworking men of science were assembled at Toronto at the meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. The Association, which makes a practice of meeting everywhere save in London-in order to stimulate interest elsewhere-gathered to its meeting more than 500 British scientists, about the same number each of Canadians and Americans, and a scattering number from the rest of the world. The presence of Americans was, indeed, due to the fact that the British Association very thoughtfully gave the members of the American Association of the same name membership in the British Association for the purpose of the meeting.

The meeting was opened at Toronto University by Major-General Sir David Bruce, President of the Association. During the War he served in the British Army. At present he is Chairman of the Governing Body of Lister Institute of Preventive Medicine. He argued that medicine must change its tactics, take the offensive against dis

eliminated in Uganda by control of the tsetse fly, and how nagana, or Texas fever, had been similarly controlled in Zululand, when it was found that the same fly was the carrier.

John W. Gregory, President of the Geographical Section of the Association, spoke on the "Color" problem of the earth, in which the white race, composed of some 520,000,000 out of a total population of about 1,700,000,000, controls eight-ninths of the habitable earth. He suggested that there were four possible solutions of the color problem: 1) amalgamation by miscegenation; 2) coresidence without fu sion; 3) disfranchisement of the colored population; 4) segregation into separate communities. He inclined to the belief that the last will be the solution, and foresaw that in 100 years or so, by natural processes, a sort of free state of Negroes would develop in the Southern U. S.

Dr. Frank C. Shrubsall, President of the Anthropological Section of the Association, declared that there has been no deterioration of human physique during the historical period, that, furthermore, man's expectation of life has grown by leaps and bounds. A child of five in ancient Egypt might expect to live to be 35; a child of five in Rome of the Caesars might expect to live to be 29; a child of five in London today may expect to live to be 64.

Dr. Henry H. Dale, President of the Physiology Section, spoke on chemotherapy, the treatment of dis

ease by the administration of chemicals. He said that recent studies have shown that these chemicals, such as "Bayer 205," used for sleeping sickness, do not directly attack the disease organism, and in fact have no effect on it when human blood is not present. Their effects, under study, are very curious, and a good deal of mystery still surrounds them.

Sir Richard Paget analysed the processes of human speech and came to the conclusion that speech had developed first from grunts, supplemented with grimaces; that then it was discovered that by blowing air through the mouth while grimacing, sounds resulted. In this way, the non-vocal or whistled "s" and whispered "f" and "th" (as in "thigh") were discovered. When a humming. or vocal sound was added, these nonvocal sounds became respectively "z," "v" and "th" (as in "thy").

Professor William A. Bone told of a new laboratory method which he had discovered for fixing nitrogen from the air. He mixes air and carbon monoxide inside a steel bomb, and then explodes them under high pressure. The nitrogen then unite with the carbon.

¶ Dr. Daniel T. McDougal, of Cali fornia, and Professor Henry H. Dix on, of Dublin, discussed sap movements in trees, declared that the sap ran up ward in straight lines like wires in the outside layers of wood, in the last two years' growth just inside the bark.

A. D. Peacock told of parthenogenesis in saw-flies. Although these insects naturally exist in both sexes, the females reproduce freely without males, and the mating instinct seems to be disappearing.

Three scientists from the University of Chicago furnished a paper embracing researches with results contrary to the theory that food injected into the stomach sends out "hormones" or "chemical messengers" which activate the gastric glands. They found that merely by distending the stomachs of dogs, gastric juice could be made to appear.

Sir Charles W. Kimmins, of London University, told of his researches in regard to the sense of humor. He studied over 10,000 jokes of children. In children of seven years and under he found that the visual joke, the slap-stick comedy, the outlandish hat have the greatest appeal.

Sir William H. Bragg discoursed on the formation of molecules by atoms as he has studied them by Xrays, especially the carbon atom which forms into two groupings, one the diamond, the other black lead. not very different in organization but entirely different in properties.

VIGOR, energy, red-
blooded health! If you
want these for your chil-
dren and you want to
know an immediate,
simple way to get them-
send an order for Eagle
Brand Condensed Milk
to your grocer and begin
feeding it to your chil-
dren today.

In the last three years scientific experiment has demonstrated the new usefulness of this old familiar product. Eagle Brand has proved itself in thousands of cases to be of wonderful value in building up and increasing the weight of children who are below par.

Why Eagle Brand is effective

EAGLE BRAND is milk-which you know to be the child's basic food. It is clean, pure, safe milk. And in addition Eagle Brand contains cane sugar which is an important source of energy.

This scientific combination of milk and sugar gives your child exactly what his growing body craves-nourishment, energy, plenty of red corpuscles in the blood, material for body and bone building. These are essentials no child can do without! He can get them in Eagle Brand quickly and easily.

know he should have, add Eagle Brand to his
diet.

Children are universally finicky about food
they ought to like but you won't have this
trouble with Eagle Brand. Above all give this
corrective food to your child with the idea that
he is going to like it.

How to serve it

GIVE EAGLE BRAND as a drink for children of
any age. Serve it between meals-two cups a day.
Use two tablespoons (poured from the can to the
spoon) to 2/3 cup of cold water. This makes a de-
licious drink which appeals to any child.

...

You should know these things

UNDERWEIGHT is the

first sign of malnutrition, childhood's dreaded foe. Malnutrition is an undernourished condi tion, due sometimes to not enough or the wrong kind of food, but often to the child's inability to digest his food. It is most serious and most common among children between 2 and 15 years, because this is the age of growth and the time when their whole lives' health is in the making.

Two years of actual experiments with undernourished school children have showed that Eagle Brand is an ideal food for combating malnutrition.

But feeding Eagle Brand is only the first step in really combating malnutrition. Fundamental health rules must be obeyed. You should have your doctor give your children a thorough exami nation at least once a year. They must have a normal diet and proper exercise.
