There is a strong human lesson to be had in jazz, and the moral is forcefully conveyed in "Flaming! Youth," a picture produced by First National, featuring Coleen Moore, which is showing at the Ohpheum Theatre Monday and Tuesday March 17-18. j The picture is a spectacle, but it does not rely upon the spectacular to attain its purpose. As entertaining and daring as the book, by Warner Babian, it carries the thrills that can be had in hectic drinking parties, blatant, tricky jazz music, impromp tu swimming parties where; bathing suits are not considered prerequisite. As forcefui and significant as trag edey of life itself, the picture artistic ally and intelligently carries its moral lesson. To the director, John Francis Dillon, must go a great deai of credit for he has put into this pic ture the explosive situations of a melodrama. ^ Colleen Moore, playing "Pat," enacts her role with amazing realism, j maintaining always her purer ideais despite her surrender to curiosity.! Myrtle Stedman, playing the mother, j once again demonstrates that she is! an actress of no unimportant degree.! She is perfectly cast. i 'Flaming Youth'' is worth seeing. There is something new in its qua!-} ity that approaches poetry, or silent music. It's a whirl, a dip, a high kick and a shimmy. ' —-- ! —The diference between a states man and a politician is that the for mer rises to the occasion, while the; latter rises to the slightest invita- ] tion, whether there is an occasion or not. LETTERS OF THE LATE WOODROW W!LSON R esident Pi events PHbhcnti.n Of Correspondence. March 12.—Mrs. Woodrow Wilson has decided to lesn* rights to check publication of selections from her late husband's letters and manu scripts until she can determine in what manner the war president's pa pers will be given to the public as a whole and in an authoritative way. It is Mrs. Wilson's intention, as executrix of the President's estate, either to have his letters and manu scripts assembeld and published by some one who will act on her author ity; or to gather them into a collec tion of Wilsonia and make it avoil able to the public probably by depos iting the papers in some National in stitution such as the Library of Con gress. Duty is the foundation of pleas use as well as conferrin gthe right to take it. ] Trackless trolley busses ara not new, for they have been the subject of experiment for many years, and improvements in the design of the cars have met most of the objections to earlier systems. On Staten Island the trackless trolley that began to iun in 1921 has proved satisfactory. The commission in charge reports that it has many advantages over previous transportation service, and that the running cost is only some twenty-five cents .a mile for each car, as compared with thirty-three cents a mil efor a gasoline omnibus of the same capacity over the same roads. The cost includes everything—inter est on the first cost of the invest ment, depreciation, maintenance, power, labor and administration. —In extreme depression or in ex treme prosperity children tend to leave school and go to work. In one case poverty is the cause, in the other a chance to earn high wages. The Supreme Court has held that un der our constitution Congress has no power to regulate the labor of chil dren. The matter rests with rthe states, not half of which have ade* quate laws on the subject, decent statistics show that during the past year child labor has been increasing. Tea and coffee are commodities that seem to be growing in popular ity. With the Report that the Amer ican people are using moer coffee now than ever before comes the an nouncement from England that the British people have never sought so much tea. Last yeaF they used eleven pounds of tea per capita, and Americans used thirteen pounds of coffee. Drinking tea or coffee is as much a social as a personal habit and of late years has been stimulated by extensive advertising. .! —-Now that the world has been motorised, has horse sense also gone out of fashion? ' —First it was the counterfeit $100 bill then the bogus $20 and now the bal $10. At this rate the average citizen will soon be affected.
