PALACE TONIGHT
••THE CHRISTIAN”
In translating Sir Hall ('nine's
great novel, “The Christian," to the
screen Maurice Tourneur again lias
proved his place among the great
directors of the silent drama. This
masterpiece of cinematic art, which
ppened yesterday for a three day
engagement at the Palace Theatre
Js impressive evidence that when
the Goldwyn company announced It
wnh going to make only twenty pic
tures a year, “but all big oneB,”
It meant what it said.
It is taken for granted that any
picture made by Mr. Tourneur will
bo notable for its composition, ami
In its quality for showing psychologi
cal action on the screen. While
"The Christian” has these atttribues,
to a degree seldom if ever before,
equalled, it also is replete with dra
matically stirring situations. We
were told that when the mob scene
was made at Trafalgar Square, and
Mr. Tourneur directed his hundreijs
of extras from midnight until dawn,
that not only London, but all Eng
land, was startled by this "Yankee
enterprise" that turned one of the
world’s historical spots into a vast
movie set. The result more than
justified the experiment. Among
many other notable and stirring
scenes particular attention might be
called to those at Epsom Downs on
Derby Day.
There will be a matinee of this
play tomorrow.
“STAR ROVER" LA8T
TIME AT COLI8EUM
Variations of “I liked it better
even than I did as a book" were re
echoed after the first performance
yesterday at the Coliseum Theatre,
of "The Star RovenJ’ Jack London’s
masterly tale of the supernatural.
It proved conclusively that the high
expectations aroused by it were
piore than fulfilled.
“The Star Rover” is an astonish
Ihg picture, not to be missed by
anyone on the lookout for an en
grossing picture that has an exccp
\
tional story to unfold. On the screen
the stark power of the story, its
gripping appeal, the beautiful stoic
ism of the tortured physician wrong
ly accused of a murder, and whose
soijl roves among the stars into
reincarnations, galu a relief, a pic
torial quality not to be communl
rated by the printed page.
This i'patnre Is on lor the lust
time tonight.
RODOLPH VALENTINO
GETS PEEVED EASILY
Although ltodotph Valentino, the
handsome young actor who is ap
pearing with Mae Murray in her
starring vehicle, "The Delicious Lit
tle Devil,” at the Palace Theatre,
on Sunday, was born in Taranter,
ho seldom displays that fiery tem
per which Is acceted as character
istic of the Italian race. But there
is one sure way to rouse his ire,
and that Is by spelling his first,
name Rudolph Instead of Rodolph.
Valentino is the son of a captain
in the Italian army, and ho was
himself attached to the Italian fly
ing corps, conducting experiments In
hazardous air stunts at Mlneoln,
and ho naturally dislikes the Teu
tonic spelling of his given name.
Valentino began his public career
as an automobile races in Italy, win
ning second honors in a race be
tween Naples and Rome in 1008,
at the age of sixteen. Ills first
stage appearance in America was
as a dancer ill New York, and for
two years he, toured the country as
Joan Sawyer's dancing partner. IIo
sang and danced in musical comedy
for a season, and rounded out his
stage career by a year with the
Alcazar Stock Company in Sail Fran
clscoo.
Universal gave him his first op
portunity in pictures. As the lover
of Mae Murray in Ibis picture ho
has one of the best roles of his
screen career.

GALLS SCIENCE
HOPE OF WORLD
PASADENA, uly 21* Man imiat
adopt a more rational amt scientific
attitude toward life if the ideal of
world peace is ever to he realized,
according to Dr. Robert A. Millikan,
chairman of the executive council of
the California institute of Technol
ogy, who is internationally known
as the man who first isolated and
measured the atom.
Bullets will not ne replac d by
ballots. Dr. Millikan told graduates
of the Institute here recently, until
“nations of the earth Including our
own, harn to take a more rational,
a more objective, ti more scientific
attitude toward life and all its prob
lems than any id them has yet learn
ed to take."
Tito chief obstacle to world peace,
lie said, is the fact that man Is
just emerging from his Jungle, it
being only a few hundred years ago
that he began to use “the objective
aud experimental method,'’ that, is,
to “set aside all liis prejudices and
his preconceptions, to suspend his
.judgment until he lias all the facts
I before him, to spare no pains first
to see all sides of the situation,
and then to let his reason, instead
of Ills passion and prejudice, con
trol his decisions.
“Some wag has said that the anti
evolutionist, is opposed to evolution
because it never did very much for
him. It Is literally true that many
individuals aro still in the jungl
so far as their nv'thdds of meetioi
lifo’s problems. so far as Hi» Wiilti
springs of their conduct aro con
rented. For In the jungle, isuorau
and prejudice and impulse ind emo
lion must determine .conduct and s,
long as that is the cause, none otlm
save the law of the Jungle is p.vsi
hie."

Third Grade- “Anything, biggest,
