8 Announcement Is made hero that Dr. David Siarr Jordun. president emeritus of Leland Stanford 1'nlvorslty, has been awarded the prize offered by Raphael Herman, power equipment manufacturer of Washington, for the best educational plan calculated to maintain world peace. Dr. Augustus O.

Thomas, Slate Commissioner of Education and president of the World Federation of Education Associations, made known the name of the winner and pointed out that the Herman iiward differs from the Bok prize In that the former calls for no legislative action and will not he submitted to the people for public approval.

Dane, after reading the petition drawn up by number of members of the congregation authorizing a special corporate meeting of the church on the same day, said that he "understood" the council would not convene as scheduled. The corporate meeting will be held to take action on the recommendation of the ecclesiastical council, he said. The council's advice, according to the Rev, Dr. J. Percival Huget, pastor of the Tompkins Avenue Congregational Church and moderator of the council, would "not bi modi-lied In the least" If the council were to convene ugaln.

Rohe Private Room 4,500 Dr. Huget said last night that he telt the "church meeting Itself will transact what Is necessary without the council having to convene." He suld also that the special committee appointed by the council to examine the church roster and aid the olli-clnl boards in restoring harmony Is functioning to the best of its ability and Is prepared to do all in Its power to bring about a final settlement. "We are going on the supposition that the corporate meeting will work out the salvation of the church," he said. He added that he did not know of any plans to hold further meetings of the council in the church, the conclusion being that the council has given Its advice and there is nothing further that it can do as a "council for advice." Continuing his course of sermons on "What the Church of Today Needs Most," Dr. Dane chose as his tcplc at the morning service, "Peo Brooklyn Strunil Thealer, recullH to mind the sheik's earlier successes, Four Ilnrsemen" and "Blood and Sand." Tho only diftVrenee la that while the reputation of Ituily Mas made by the last two named productions, that reputation Is seen to rest a little on "A Sainted Devil." And to resting on his l.un-lx, many on erstwhile film star can attribute his sudden descent down the chute of motion picture fame.

The atory by Hex Beach la a likely enough composition dealing, as it does, with the loves and the hates and the Intrigues of the Castros, the Dons and the Ouadulupes In the Argentine. It Is a story of a kidnaped bride, kidnaped, in fart, right out of the nuptial bedchamber. The rest la flller-ln until the hero redeems the girl from the bandit lair. With the author we can find no fault. Our main grievance lies In the handling of the story for the screen and Its Interpretation by the cast.

FREE CLINIC STARTS Sweet Dreams of an Ovington Gift Whether she is going to receive the gift or whether she is going to send it what matter; what difference? For much of the charm of an Ovington gift resides in the fact that it is as pleasing to receive as it is to send. It's no great hardship to receive it as its beauty so eloquently testifies, and it's no great hardship to send it as its price is certain to indicate. And the fixed price tables with hundreds of Christmas gifts at 5, 7.50,10,15, 20 and 25 make selection almost as easy as the disbursement.

Elizabeth Merkel Nurses' Sitting Room 2,400 Dr. G. K. Meynen Room 2,000 UPTOWN TOMORROW Helen D'Algy may be allowed to escape criticism. Miss D'Algy, In the role opposite the star, Is a newcomer to the screen and one who shows no end of promise.

Concerning Valentino, It may be said that In "A Sainted Devil" he seems to possess hardly a nodding acquaintance with nil that Is going on about him. He takes meticulous care with his love-making and, oo la-la what a lover he is but he Is otherwise quite oblivious to his duties to the role of Alonzo Castro. Which leads us to believe that Valentino Is not so much an actor as he Is a name. As already recorded, Helen D'Algy gives an exceptionally fine performance In the role of Julietta, daughter of a last line Castile. Nlta N'aldl's portrayal of the green-eyed Carlotta Is terrible.

Miss Naldi is another screen personality with a name nothing else. George Sleg-man does very well with the role of El Tigre, brains of the kidnaping crowd. But more Important than even the film feature on the Strand's program this week Is Edward L. Hyman's superbly staged prologue, "Pan Americano." The original costumes employed In the filming of "A Painted Devil" 'are worn by the artists appearing In this tableau. The effect Is a rare optic treat.

"Pan Americano" Includes "Peternares" In which Mile. Francelli and her Strand ballet corps take part; "Habanera." featuring Miss Kuth Watson, mezzo soprano; "Kl Choco-lo," with M. DeVllla and Mme. Kuarke, who dance the new "Valentino Tango," and "Remember Me," a sentimental ballad sung by Tom Williams, the baritone. "Pan Americano" Is one of the most beautifully conceived prologues we have ever seen In a cinema theater.

Michael Knight Lillian Lawrence "Jeffy" Dorothy Brock NO sooner have we finished building adjectives one upon tho other In praise of such produc-t'tons as "Isn't Life Wonderful" and Erich von Strohcim's "Greed" than along comes a film like "Christine of the Hungry Heart" to shatter our faith In the ultimate excellence of the silent drama. The plcturizatlon of Kathleen Norrls' novel at ths Piccadilly Theater this wek.

We cannot recommend It cvrn with reservations. While the original work of Mrs. Norrls contained much of the stuff of which best sellers are made, tlw transformation which takes place on the screen at the Piccadilly must have a nauseating effect upon those whose intellectual capacity measures above the moron. Glycerin teari flow like the Horseshoe Falls after a deluge, and hokum runs amuck with syrup dribbling from Its mouth. There are evident cumbersome efforts to draw sobs, but Instead "Christine" Invites only giggles.

The story, If you haven't read tha book, revolves about three men and a woman. marries first one, then another, and finally a ihiirl to "satisfy that hunger in her heart for something, she knows no: what." After all this promiscuous mutri-mony Christine returns to her first spouse to lift him out of a life of ossified bliss. And so, ns the Dlcture ends, It is not at all Improbable that Christine began the circuit all over again, still seeking that something to appease the hunger In her hea rt. In the title role Florenco Vldor overacts badly. She slobbers.

Warner Baxter, Cllve Brook and Ian Keith portray the husbands three. None is sincere enough to make his character convincing. Thus the film. like Chiisdie herself, must be described as Indecisive. Oilier Films.
