' John Barrymore, Celebrated Comedian, < Returns to Screen in Fsrstus Faroe, t "Are Yon a Mason." The prominent star, John Barrymore, f who attained phenomenal popularity as an irresistible screen comedian in the i two Famous Players Film Company's 1 comedy triumphs, "An American Citi- c ten," and "The Man From Mexico," snr- 1 both his former screen successes j in the five-part film adaptation of Leo c Ditrichstein's famous farce "Are You a Mason T" the latest release on the Paramount program at Perry Street Theatre Tuesday, January 25th. This subject was selected as the ve- t hide for Mr. Barrymore's return to the f screen because it represents more than t any other comedy of similar reputation, u the type of dramatic humor best h adapted to the inimitable talents of this s In "Are You a Mason!" Mr. Barry- n more portrays the character of Frank Perry, a dashing young married man of t' exuberant spirits and vivid imagina- d tion. When his wife announces that a chief desire in life is to become a 8 Mason, Perry grasps the opportunity it p affords for staying out several nights, a explaining his numerous absences from home by the logical statement that he is e spending his evenings at the Masonic f< Lodge, undergoing the ordeals of ini- ti tiatien. g One night wife delightedly announce* ii that her father. Grand Master of the ri Masons, is coming to visit them. Pe;ry = ti agonized efforts to keep his father-in- 6l law from discovering his deception and h the fearful tangles in which he becomes p involved thereby, culminating in a sit ir uation • which is one of the funniest e< -limaxes ever conceived, furnish the A huyior of the farce, which is further tl heightened by the fact that the "grand 'ni l

is not a Mason, and is constantly manufacturing other deception* to safeguard his first falsehood. How he is finally caught and cornered by his clever Ma-in-law who emerge* victoriously from the chaos be has created, ends the comedy in a roaringly laughable manner. RAPS BR YAH 1ST I C IDEAS OH PREPAREDNESS PLANS. Clergyman Calls Gridiron of Roads Scheme Hal] natation, at Order of Founded and Patriots Banquet. Bryanistic ideas of preparedness were attacked laat night at the annual banquet of the Order of Founders and Patriots held at the Union League. Rev. Paul Sturtevant Howe, rector of the , Church of tha Advent at Cape May, N. J„ and a lineal descendant of Mjrles Standish, of the Mayflower, was the speaker. Historical precedent in the United States was adduced by Rev. Mr. Howe in considering preparedness. He averred that the Pilgrim's believed in prepared - ness, and drove home the averment with entry, dated 1630, -frm the Colony "The short-haired woman apd the man have too much to My in our affairs," said Rev. Mr. Howe. they did not_ exist in the early days of the colonies. "The Pilgrims believed in preparedness. In 1680 the following entry was made in the Colony Record: "Whereas, our ancient work of fortification by continuation of time is decayed, and Christian wisdom teacheth us to depend upon God in the use of all good means for safety, it is agreed by toe court that the fortifications be repaired." They depended upon God, but built fortifications.

'At the entry into the academy the 'plebes' are," he says, "a crowd of slouching American boys; at the graduation exercises they are a set of erect, well-set-up American 'officers and gentlemen,' with a sense of personal honor and of £heir obligations to their oountry and to human society. "I am a graduate of Harvard, but Z . have always said that if I had had a I -should, if I could, have sent him to West Point or Annapolis. I am in of compulsory military service in the United States.
