"THE CALL OK THE EAST"
llitynkav.ii I):h'h Fine Work fn n
Strong Story Staged In Si.itouiuI
InftH of .latum.
Ono of tho foremost ;. oi's on the
Amorlran stage remarked recently,
when discussing his work In a forth
coming historical photodruiun, that
lie was going to try to prove to the
Aniorlcnn pictuiogoing public that
tho best screen actor was not a Jap
anese. Which statement has Im
portance, perhaps, as being revela
tory of tho opinion existing in cer
tain well-Informed quarters as to
tho ability of Sossue Ilnyakawn In
noting before the eamive. Surely
for tho!e who follow :re there
Is fascination In the character In-1
terprelatlon of this stolid, Impawn-j
Ive representative of tho J.iihd; J
tho Rising Sttn. Ono feels, in wuteh
Ig Ilnyakawn through the course
of a picture that be Is seeing mora
that tho revealed art of an Indi
vidual actor; there is a sense of
looking upon the near emotional
manifestations of nn unemotional
race, of the potentialities Indicated
by tho surfaco of deep rivers.
"Tho Call of the East," is a story
that well may have been written
"around" Ilnyakawn.. Tho rolo of
Aral Taknda fits him like a glove.

convincing Japanese interiors and

REV. ('HAS. A. EDWARDS
WINS I'KAISK IX ASHLAND
ASHLAND, Ore., Feb, 7. (Spec
ial.)' The Ashland Record says of
a patriotic meeting held at the
Methodist church Sunday1 evening;
Patriotism 'was at high tide. Sun
day evening at the M. E. church.
An audience that filled tho edifice
assembled to hear the fourth of a
series of lectures by the pastor, Rev.
Chas. A. Edards, and In addition
heard some excellent music and. wit
nessed the unfurling of a beautiful
service flag containing forty stars
representing the young men of the
church and Sunday school who have
responded to their country's call.
The lecture delivered by Rev. Mr.
Edwards, With the United States as
his subject, was a fitting climax to
ttlic series embracing talks on Eng
land, Germany and France. It easily
takes rank with tho very best heard
in Ashland, where (he most brilliant

the menu but you would be wine to

to year bringing Intellectual' and or

lated and emotion stirred hs the
speaker told, of America's part 'in
tho great war, no phase of the
struggle being overlooked. The
duty of every citizen of the United
States was clearly defined ;d thore
was no middle ground left upon
which people might stand during the
conflict they must bo classed as
loyal supporters of the nation in its
crisis or as traitors. Throughout
the lecture there were gracefully In
terwoven the threads of a great Io
son that was not lost upon the at
tentive listeners. It will he many
a day before the effort of Sunday
evening Is surpassed in Ashland.
