BY LEONE CASS BAER. CLIFFORD DEVEREUX of the Devereux players believes that America's passion for material acquisition has developed us physical ly at the expense of mind and spirit. He believes further that in the war we all of us were forced through a period of inner cultivation of static agonies, "and now," he continues, "we are generating new ideals, creative impulses, revolutionary if you choose, but serious and sane. "The hour of the bedroom farce is waning," says Mr. Devereux. "Peo ple want more than farce, or mere animated pictures. This revolution of tastes calls for high-class plays, acted right and played right. The only country where such productions are possible today is America. Europe Under Strain. "Shell-shocked Europe certainly cannot produce them,- its people are still under a terrific strain and it of fers no fertile field for healthy Imag ination. Individual am social prob lems inspire the literature of Europe. Conflicts of family, of sex, contrasts of poverty and riches make up their book material and tneir stage litera ture. The old law of supply and de mand will prevail. The American public is demanding cleaner, better plays and they will be supplied or I miss my guess. A final test of any country is its art, and certainly I think that all arts fuse and have their greatest author ity and influence in the theater. The universities and schools of 'the coun try are more interested now than ever before in than theater. My company has played In all the universities and colleges in the territories we have covered during our eight seasons. tout Tour In First. "This is our first tour to this coast. We are breaking ground, as one says out here, knowing that this is a new field and we are new players to your people. But next year we will be like old friends I hope.

Coale. Mrs. C. W. Stose and Mrs. A. R. Shannon. "If Mrs. Colwell's personal signa ture is necessary for the permit, then I have been illegally releasing scores of films. Very few of the permits bear her personal signature. As a matter of fact the three names on this permit were all signed by Mrs. Shannon at at the others' request. "Cuts were made on 'The Thirteenth Commandment' exactly as ordered prior to its being released for ex hibition at the Columbia. Perhaps it is true that the cuts made did not have the desired effect on the film, but nevertheless they-were made ex actly as stipulated."

DEMOCRATIC SONS TO DECLARE STAND Jackson Day Banquet Excuse for Flood of Oratory. WILSON LETTER FEATURE Executive's Pronouncement Await ed Eagerly by Party Bryan Also Looms as Storm Center. "WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. Prospective candidates for the democratic nom ination for president will meet each other and publicly declare their views on public questions at the Jackson day banquet, which Is to conclude the meeting of the democratic na tional committee here Thursday. A dozen speakers are on the programme and they include most of those who have been mentioned prominently as presidential possibilities. Besides there will be read a message from President Wilson, possibly touching on a third term and on the peace treaty, and a letter from William G. McAdoo, former secretary of the treasury, dis cussing sone of the issues likely to enter into the campaign. Interest In the banquet, particu larly with regard to the positions to be taken by President Wilson and Mr.. Bryan, greatly overshadowed among the assembling committeemen tonight the real purpose of the meet ing here, which is to select a .time and place for the national convention. Bryan's Word Awaited. Great interest centered in the pres ident's message of greeting and in the pronouncements to be made by Mr. Bryan. Characterized as "an im portant word" by White House offi cials, the nature of Mr. Wilson's mes sage is being carefully guarded. Speculation revolves about what he may say on a third term and on the peace treaty as a campaign issue. Guesses about Mr. Bryan's address touch on these same subjects. Many of the party leaders expect him to declare his stand on the treaty and put himself definitely into the run ning for the nomination. Treaty May Go to People. Mr. Bryan has been quoted as urg ing that the treaty be ratified promptly with compromise reserva tions. There are committeemen who believe that the president may ask in his message that the party go before the country on a platform for unreserved ratification. Of the six cities asking for the convention, Kansas City was the first to begin active work among the com mitteemen, a group of boosters open ing headquarters today. Chicago and San Francisco are expected to fret actively into the race tomorrow, and Cleveland, Cincinnati and Indianapolis also will be represented when the selection is made Thursday. The three last named, however, are not expected to make extensive cam paigns. NURSERY SITES VIEWED PURCHASE BY ALBERTINA KERR HOME EXPECTED TODAY.

Proceedings First to Involve Valid ity of Enactment and Con stitute Test Case. WASHINGTON. .Jan. . Arguments on the constitutionality of the farm loan act were begun today in the su preme court and will be concluded to morrow. The appeals resulted from dismissal by the federal district court of injunction proceedings brought by a stockholder to enjoin tire Kansas City Title & Trust company from in vesting its funds in farm-loan bonds issued by federal land banks and Joint stock land banks. The proceedings are the first in volving the validity of the act to reach the supreme court and in order to make them a test case the federal land bank of Wichita. Kan., and the First Joint-Stock Land bank of Chi cago were permitted by the lower court to become parties to the suit. Under permission of the supreme court the government also filed a brief in support of the act. Constitutionality of the statute is contested on the grounds that no au thority existed under the federal con stitution for its enactment or the cre ation of land banks. that ,he issuance of farm-loan banks was unauthorized and that provisions exempting such bonds from federal and state taxation also were invalid.
