Judge Hen Lindsay's theory of a com- panlonato marriage will always remain a theory, because It does not solve the marriage problem In a practical way. Education and enllghton- I mont on the sex equation is the only remedy that Is practical. ItovmilH Mystery "Married Love" reveals In an amazingly frank way tho mysteries of life and offers an education along those lines which Isn't oven to be 1 had In the medical schools.

"Tho old slogan of tho 111 in producers, 'Bigger and Bettor must bo changed to 'Fewer and Bettor If the Industry IH to maintain its present rate growth of growtn." This statement came from Mary Plckford who has Just taken a year's time to make "My Best Girl," which comes to the Capitol Theatre this coming Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

"While quantity and quality are quite compatible In manufacturing automoBlloa, tho making of screen entertainment IB an entirely different matter," said Miss Plckford. "Good pictures cannot bo ground out of an automatic machine like so many bolts and nuts, and the trend of some executives toward quantity production of pictures is bound to react adversely to tho interests of both the producers themselves and tho public. "From my own experience I know it is almost impossible for any star who produces his own films to make more than two good pictures a year, FILM FLASHES TlclTiK a Critical and Impnrlliil Uuvuo tin; Local By Phllni PUan- Wo can't kick about thin week's attractions.

AL SMITH DUE FOR LACING FROM STRATON and It la often better to do only one, depending upon the magnitude of the undertaking. The thousand and one details of tho story, supporting cast, direction and the like, must be fused Into one harmonious The problems of how much comedy and pathos to use, and whore; of strengthening this or that sequence to Improve the dual effect; of making a better narrative by having a certain character do this particular thing at this particular place in tho action, all need careful planning before foot of film Is taken. "An unsuitable player or two In tljo cast, or comedy that Is obvious and forced Instead of easy anil, natural, are the results of efforts to produce quantity In place of quality. Many a star of yesterday would be a screen favorite still, had tho studio not Insisted on a too crowded program. It Is a modern Instance of killing the goose that lays tho golden eggs.

"The best argument for the 'Fewer and Bettor' slogan is tho fact that the biggest screen celebrities prac- tlco It. Lillian Olsh, Gloria Swanson, Harold Lloyd, John Barrymore, Douglas Fairbanks, to mention only a few, never make more than two pictures a year. Charles Chaplin does ono a year, or less. And the result Is practically perfect story. I If these stars turned out productions on the machine system, they would soon slide into oblivion.

"I believe the industry is coming to a general realization of this fact, and that it will take the necessary steps to conserve and expand Its own Interests, which so inextricably tied up with the welfare of Its best-known players. A producer who Is not also tho star of the piece, working with efficient studio facilities, can take care of four pictures a year. But this program Is too large for a producer who Is also a star. From such a schedule as we had in the old Blograph days, with anywhere from one to three complete pictures made each week, to a two-a-year program for producer- stars is quite an advance. But it Is vitally necessary, and sure to come." Oklahoma City, has boon set by Dr.

John Houch Straton, fundamentalist Baptist PnHtor of New York campaigning against' Governor Alfred E. Smith, to answer charges made by tho Presidential candidate In his speech bore Thursday night. fir. Straton 111 an address last night said ho had arranged for a Hocond appearance nt tho coliseum tonight, at which time ho would discuss "In every detail" the Governor's allegations that his religion had boon made a campaign issue, mid that a "whispering campaign" wan In progress. Speaking from the same platform whero the New York Governor 24 hours earlier had pleaded for tolerance and pilloried certain organiza- tions and people for attacking him on what he declared "religious grounds," the Pastor charged the Governor with raising the religious issue to his own "muddy record." "Not ono of us have raised the religious Issue," he said.

"I have not said one word concerning Governor Smith's right to worship God according to his own dictates. There has not boon tho religious Issue except as he has lugged It In. "I have not come hero to stir sectarian bitterness nor to arouse religious or personal prejudice. Governor Smith was labelled a tool of Tammany Hall by the pastor, who was frequently applauded by the moderately-sized crowd In the Taking up diacusslon of Governor Smith's record In New York State politics, Dr. St ration repeated previous charges bearing on tho executive's alleged'opposition to reform measures, and said: "However, I do not believe Governor Smith would knowingly and deliberately protect gambling, vice and crime.

1 simply believe ho failed to look deeply behind tho results of hla votes and actions." Governor Smith simply did the bidding of Tammany Hall, and therefore has proven himself to be tbe type of politician whoae acts undobutedly have befriended the most destructive and Immoral forces of our time. "My friends, we have come to the strangest paradox of modern times, in the fact that it has fallen to my lot, as one of the leading fundamentalists and anti-evolutionists of the country, to discover in with the Presidential campaign, the' long, lost and mv.ch desired 'missing It is the miserable monstrosity, this hybrid impertinence produced by tho crossing of tho Democratic donkey and the Tammany tiger." "And, added to all trie other absurdities it has a wet head and a dry tall." The pastor's reference was to a declaration in his speech that Senator Joseph T. Robinson, Vice Presidential candidate, and Governor Smith wore stumping respectively for dry and wet votes. Meeting Governor Smith's counter charge against "tho whispering campaign" the Pastor said: "Last Monday night a week ago 1 'whispered' to some 20,000 cheering anti-Smith Democrats down at Miami, and another million listened In over tho radio. it has gone at Raleigh.

Miss Johnston, gracefully tall, grey-eyed and brown-haired, was a solo dancer before taking up her screen career seriously. She studied with Ruth St. Denis while attending the exclusive Hollywood School lor Glrla, and was such an apt pupil that during her summer vacations she went oh tour with Miss St.

Dressed in their picturesque regalia, the Indians were to adopt "Charlie" Curtis into their tribe, if the opportunity afforded. Chief Plenty Coos, of the Crows, had made the arrangement ceremonial. This is a ieal Indian country and It looked the part today with the tribes from all seclions of the state encamped about. Not far from here General Custer fought his last fight against the Indians and it was planned to show 'the Senator the scene of the massacre Senator Curtis welcomed the Indian pow-wow, the second he has attended this week, as. a inter- iludo in his whirlwind campaign of the Northwest.
