NEAR EAST HAS DAY DECEMBER 7 From th usands of pulpits in this and twenty-two other nations will be made the Christ-plea, "Whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so unto them." Hundreds of thousands of persons from President Coolidge down to the lowliest citizen will curtail the usual elaborate Sunday dinner to a meager menu such as that served in the orphanagc:s which house 60,000 unfortunate little ones in the Bible Lands. The day will be given over to a practical application of the Golden precept toward these children and the other thousands of unfortunate Christians who have been driven from their homes in Turkey and are now shivering in refugee camps in Greece. Observation of the day will be gen·eral throughout Illinois. For several weeks, a committee of distinguished citizens headed by former Governor Frank 0 . Lowden has been active in preparation of the part this state will play in a substantial application of the Golden Rule in behalf of those less fortunate peoples along the Mediterranean. Civic and social organizations, churches and Sunday schools and private families will eat orphan meals December 7, or during Golden Rule week which follows. A duplicate of the menu served in a Near East orphanage consists of soup or ~caroni and cheese, rye bread, stewed fru1t and cocoa. Many of these groups will on that date make their contributions to the Near East Relief administrator for America among ' the homeless little ones of Palestine Persia Armenia, Syria, Anatolia, Turkey and Greece, and for the continuation of the work of feeding the hungry and sheltering the homeless. . Unde~ the Near East Relief plan, $60 "adopt" an orphan, thus clothing, shelter and education for one year. The meals served in the orphanages are provided at a cost of four cents each. The Illinois committee asks that all contributions be sent to the treasurer George M . .

Movie fans who remember seeing the recent AI Christie feature "Hold 'Your Breath," with its slapdash com~dy an_d, thrills will be surprised at the versatility of the Christie organiution when they sec the next Chri tie feature, "Rcc~less Romance," which comes to the Evan ston th eatre, Thursday, Friday and Saturday of n xt week. Both. pictur~s are feature-length comedtes, hut tn that the comparison stops, for. "Reckless Romance," is a comedy ptcture of an entirely different type_. It has fast action but it is stratght farce, one of the things which the At. Christie organization has the reputahof! of being specialists in. Dependmg as it does on putting over farcical situation comedy rather t~an broad gags and "hokum," the ptcture has called for an excellent cast te play the various roles in a skillful manner. The two feminine leads are Wanda H~wley and Sylvia Breamer. The two chtef male roles are played by T. Roy Barnes and Harry Myers. Tully Marshalt, Lincoln Plumer and Jack Duffy portray the character roles while Morgan Wallace is the villain.' Plumer a~d Jack Du.ff~ have been identified Wtth the Chnstte short comedies, and Barnes an.d Marshall have previously appeared m At Christie features. cA Merclulndise Despatch Tra;n D ON'T be content with juat the earn· ings of your job.
