movies .were widely shown: in this
country.
In its use of the caniera, cutting
and painted backdrops alternated with
natural settings, Tatters is reminis-
cent of The Great Train Robbery,
sh here March 18. The most strik-
ing aspect of the film is its acting,
which is done in a stylized, unnatural
tradition now almost entirely vanished
It is the exact pro-
totype of the performances of nine-
teenth century melodramas which are
still -given in poor neighborhoods in
London. The part.of the little poor
boy seems to have béen played by a
girl, according to a custom which
Mary Pickford later followed in her
Little Lord Fauntleroy. .
Underworld, the second film on the
program, brings us to the _ not-so-
distant date of 1927, when gunmen
and crime rings were at their height.
The fame of organized crime in Chi-
cago gave a particular timeliness to
the movie and helped it to set a long-
lived fashion for gangster pictures.
The film was directed by Josef von
Sternberg and includes in its cast
such familiar names as George Ban-
croft, Evelyn Brent, Clive Brook and
Fred Kohler. Von Sternberg’s feeling
for atmosphere and for textures comes
out well, particularly in the scene
after the gangsters’ ball in which
Bancroft, as the master-gunman, stag-
ers through tattered paper-streamers
eloquent of the sordid, uneasy life of
his kind.
The Cat and the Canary, produced
in 1927, will be remembered for dis-
turbing the sleep of many of us.’ It
typifies the more subtly horrible
mystery-film, which succeeded the
blood and thunder movie. Clutching
hands, concealed bodies and the final
accusation of the person least under
suspicion come into their own in this
picture.
The director of The Cat and the
Canary was the late Paul Leni, noted
for his ingenious lighting and macabre
effects. Among the characters whose
hair is set on end by a masked ter-
ror are Laura La Plante, Creighton
Hale, Tully Marshall and Lucien Lit-
tlefield. The film is remarkable for
odd camera shots and oblique angles,
including a’scene looking down on the
assembled characters and a_ shot
through the back of a chair. . Al-
though the acting is mediocre, the
movie as a whole is pleasing to the eye
and succeeds in being truly frighten-
ing.

EVIDENCE OF DISEASE
> (Especially
contributed by Dr.
Dryden.) ¥
Dalton, May 4.—Dr. George Wag- 3
goner spake before the class.in ad-
vanced: general geology on the general
topic of “paleopathology,” giving par-
ticular attention to skeletal evidences
of disease in ancient man and in fos-
sil animals. The diseases so dis-
covered—by examination of | fossil
bones, or of the skeletons of historical’
characters lately exhumed, or of, bones
of mummies—are found to have been
almost as numerous in the past as
they are today. Skulls ‘and other
skeletal parts of the ancient Egyptians
show tha¥ these people suffered from
pyorrheg, tubereulosis of the bones,
smallpox, cancer, mastoiditis and a
host of other modern ailments. Fossil
reptiles and mammals, many of great
antiquity, show fractures, arthritis,
irregular adventitious growth and
many other deformities.
One of the most suggestive parts of
Dr. Waggoner’s talk was his refer-
ence to the importance of studies of
the skeletons of historical characters.
In one case, a Scotch general wa’ re-
puted to have been kicked in the face
by a horse, in the year 1314. His
skull shows a fracture in the region
of the face, and it is apparent that
he continued to live, since the fracture
healed naturally. In other cases,
evidences of disease may help to ex-
plain the motives behind the actions
of many famous people of history.
A number of interesting slides were
shown and discussed.

labor benefited by the new measures,
though certain clever agitators have
done so by confusing the men who
blindly support them. Accordingly,
there is an emphatic need for men in
Congress and in the judicial system
who are more than “rubber stamps,”
men who will not carelessly allow a
435 million dollar tax bill to be made
law while only 36-50 of their number
are attending.
Maurice Dreicer, of the University
of Pennsylvania, struck the distinctly
American note of personal liberty.
Not only is this currently discouraged
in expression of opinion, he believes,
but as the Black investigation demon-
strated, even personal correspondence
is examined by officials. As the league
maintains, confiscation is preferable
country to chaotic insecurity and
would be particularly severe on en-
dowed institutions.
To Mr. Charles Kenworthy, a mem-
ber of the Lawyers’ Committee of the
Liberty League, the movement is an
“idealistic niche in the American sys-
tem.” The motives of the founders
of the league are irrelevant to the
present condition of the movement,
which is non-partisan where political
groups are concerned. In fact, a na-
