TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1926
THANKSGIVING
It is still a day to be thankful. By commemorating it as a legal holiday and through festivities, engendered by the spirit of the occasion which has been elaborated and made more inclusive since the idea was first conceived, the significance of the day is becoming more and more to be realized.
There are hostlers who declare that the people of today are too egotistical and insensitive to be thankful for anything; that the struggles and hardships endured by our forefathers that we might have our present heritage, are now considered lightly. These are only souls from the civic.
Kniveshaving, laud it or seize it as you will, is still a day in which the masses of the people, with few exceptions, find something to be thankful for; a fact which justifies the attention which we give it.
ONE KING, EIGHT NATIONS
The declaration of independence of British dominions by the imperial conference through its committee of premiers is no revolutionary step in government; it is only the formal sanction of a status which has existed for years.
English historians, who have about the same traits as all historians, will blindly record how England, motivated solely by attrition, colonized and developed her present dominions, instilled in her subjects the love for freedom, and finally in 1926 being bestowed independence upon them. They will mean that the English government had the wisdom to proclaim independence when it saw that no alternative existed.
Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the other dominions, in a leased degree, have been progressively advancing toward nationhood since the American Revolution. No action on the part of England could have halted this trend toward self-government.
The British Empire today is no more than a fraternal lodge of nations.
King George V and the procession of royalty are to be retained as a tradition—a sort of keepsake—by the dominions. Statesmen delivering orations will always love to innot "Our Good King George, by the grace of God., . . ." Future generations will forget that their countries were ever under the domination of England.
THE EDITOR IS WARY
Never will this Kansan editor accept a literary prize. Nor will he refuse one. He is not so bold as Sinclair Lewis nor so clever as George Bernard Shaw, and he has no desire to become embroiled in endless controversy. He prefers to editorialize
For this he is well qualified, since none of his writings having ever come before the consideration of a prize awarding committee, he is unbiased and may speak authoritatively.
Mr. Shaw is an egnima. He always has been. For more than a week now he has been dalyalling along and holding those who are burning to disagree with him, in uncomfortable suspense. He greeted the announcement that he had been awarded the Nobel literature prize for 1925 with the supposition
Sorely knew the battle lines been drawn about him, when he neatly shiesteped by accepting the honor to the exclusion of the cash prize, leaving the hasty critics to grow at each other. But like vicious wolves, they bounded after him into the new field of controversy, whereupon the clever Mr. Shaw (to liken him to a fox would be bromide) again fold them by temporarily accepting the money.
A few wolves will probably pursue him yet—they always do, but they will bury wart he turtles upon them. A Socialist, who receives more in royalties than any other author in the world, Mr. Shaw doesn't need the money. Neither does he need the honor, but he likes to play with critics. So this editor takes care not to attempt to settle the controversy. His only suggestion is that Mr. Shau use the money to endow more award committees.

FOUND—THE I. Q. OF GEN-
Even after some 400 years of peaceful rest from the wearisome trials of this world, the gonuses of the past ages are not safe from the scrutiny of psychologists and the dread of intelligence tests.
The psychologists of Stanford University have accomplished a new feat in the art of psychology and have just succeeded in giving tests to such notables as John Milton, Michael Angelo, Napoleon, Samuel Johnson, and 297 other famous persons, thus determining their respective L. Q.'s.
The results were tased on historical records giving childhood traits and mental talents of the geniuses John Sturt Mill, English philosopher was given the highest rating of 150 At 6 years of age he wrote a history of Rome and at 8 years of age he gave Latin lessons.
The investigation was conducted to shed light on the early mental traits of geniuses, and the results show that omniven men and women consistently showed signs of superior mentality in early childhood. Also in most cases the children came from families of good class, and nearly all of them showed strong traits of character.
The skeptics will perish shake their heads and doubt the possibility of such an experiment, but skeptics have always shaken their heads, and at any rate it goes to prove that death does not end it all.
FOOLISH THANKSGIVING
Pollyann came into our national life through a book of fiction. Her name has become a symbol of exosperating optimism. Our general distaste for anything Pollyann makes it rather dangerous to celebrate Thanksgiving day by speaking of the good things we have to be thankful for.
The chronic optimist is as obnoxious as the gloomy pessimist. One deliberately neglects to see the unpleasant things; the other consciously overlocks the pleasant. Both are biased.
That is the sort of giddy-pated optimism that is the bone of the Thanksgiving season. Let us be thankful that it is not more prevalent.

J. CLIFFORD JONES, Secretary
There is nothing more that can be said about "Stella Dalton" for here at last is the almost perfect picture. Understanding direction, flawless characterization, smoothness of continuity, all contribute to make this
As the action took place all over the cathedral, the audience became part of the production itself. The first times that the mote of people poured into the arena were an impressive until one saw the self-impressive grins on the faces of the Kansas City members of the cast. This destroyed the realistic effect and did not make an impressible one so that the spring bergs became wearysome.
"The Miracle," the great production of Max Reinhardt, Morris Gess and Norman-Bel Geddes, opened last week in Kansas City for a three-week show.
There will be a meeting of the A. S. C. E. tonight at 7:30, Mr. B. C. Smith, manager of the Southwestern branch of the Asphalt Association, will speak on "Asphalt and Its Uses in Highway Engineering." You cannot afford to miss this meeting. W. O. CUTIBERTSON, President.
Pantomime is an ancient and delicate art, which cannot be exceeded truly in so huge a theater. Angry chest heavens were gotten across to the audience by great contortions of the actor in which he looked as though he would rise off the stage. Also pantomime is story without words. As substitutes for this the orchestra or troupe works his wonders, the chants and aveas of the muns added, and whenever more expressions great wails or shouts or sols are either from the actors on the stage or the unseen voice at the rear of the hall—which was at least startling in its effect.
The production is pantomine on a stuccoed scale. The entire hall will be converted into a cathedral with the nave and the altar, the stained glass windows, and the cathedral doors at the front which form the façade where the central action takes place.
As for *ax* as the actual production goes, which includes the setting, the music, the bell, the singing, the lightness and the costume, it is a work of art.
The audence is awed by the grand度 of the sitting, by the tolling of cathedral bells, by the inspiring music, and the evocative beauty of the costume effects. All these things tended to place each person in the crowd of 4,500 spectators in a mood of awe, wonder, and solemnity.
But "The Miracle" is not the powerful, dramatic pantomime it has been so widely advertised. It is not drama because there is no reaction between the actors and the puppets, expressing the story by the will of the director. Drama makes an audience react by its struggle of wail, its intensity; while "The Miracle" is more mooded by the nervousness of the production, the bells, and the music.
An impressionistic effect was truly created in the suggestive settings of the intermediate scenes of action. Ever the cathedral remained in the background but the scenery had the power of strengthening one's imagination so that the scenes were convincingly acceptable.
Filmy Froth
"The Miracle" is *great*, it is a triumph of staring, it is a new venture in theater production, but it is not an- it does not seem to have a seat.

Thanksgiving Special
Most of all will one remember the work of Belle Bennett in the leading role, Inspilid, slowly, ill-bred, Stella Dallas became a figure that would eventually Miss Bennett makes her an appealing and very human being throughout.
Ronald Colman and Alice Joye give particularly fine performances characterized by a rare understanding and a restraint that is a pleasure to witness in these days of obvious acting. Lois Moran does perhaps her best work on the screen to date in the part of Laurel. Some of her mother show a sincerity and a sensitivity that should carry her far. Douglas Fairbanks Jr. is excellent in a minor part opposite her.
Jean Hershult gives a brilliant performance as the flashy riding-master, fond of drink and gaudy clothing, offensive in both action and speech. Only one thing mars the presentation and that is the unappreciative attitude of some of the spectators. There are some who like their hokum and then they know it is hokum and these include anyone without the slickers and amused comment of those about them. Too many fine pictures have been spoiled for the majority because of the unequivocal attitude of a few persons

WALLIT II A CLASSIC "Threatening to the crowd at the Missouri-Kansas border, lumbim Saturday to $30,000. Just what the crowd would have numbered if the gass was not probably not more than $35,000, because the real football game — favored by a favorable weather. But the point is any event which year after year has won five points like Columbia and Lawrence, regardless of weather and road conditions between the records of the contestants—any event which draws such popular audiences."
Such interest means more than a mere love for football. It means that those two magnificent schools have the sources of state pride. Moreover, it means that Kansas is proud to see its opponents at game Saturday, with its wonderful and Missouri is proud of having Kansas for its respected traditional rival. Kansas played a game Saturday, with its intense rivalry, tempered with matchless sportsmanly feeling, is an effect more likely to be made earlier in the season to move the Kansas game forward on the Mississippi big Thanksgiving date. Nebraska is not the natural rival of other Missouri or Kansas; the Missouri-Kansah game it ever to give way to an annual contest with a three for who, though this additional destination to work out elsewhere.

The victory Saturday off a great season for the Tiger. Missouri's brass's defeat of New York university, gave notice to the world that the Missouri Valley conference is able and willing to prove its arms against those of any other group in the country. In addition, Missouri has big and formidable. The Jayhawk did not. But through the thirty-five years of Missouri-Kansas football, the university has been worth sewing. That's why 30,000 people turned out for the battle, even though it came out of outcome. It promised to be a good fight, and it was, and both teams, with their coaches, their faculties and their supporters, are to be congratulated.
