! PHILOMATHIC CLUB

In accordance with the established
policy of the Philomathic Debating
Club in celebrating the Jewish Holi-
days, the club staged at its fourth
sbssion of the forty-second term a
Jewish program of great merit. Eight
Members, with choice subjects, well
learned and of good authority, fur-
nished the bulk of the evening's pro-
gram. They traced, briefly, the his-
toric troubles of the Jews; the cause
and result of social antagonism; the
possibility of the re-establishment of
a Jewish nation; the significance of
the day of atonement; while Lee
ItOsensweig chosen the best speaker
and Jack Thumin, second best, pre-
sented two well constructive and in-
teresting discussions on "The Jewish
Traits and Peculiarities" and "The
Spring of Endowment" respectively.
The other speakers were: Joe Fine-
inan—"The Jewish Nation;" Gilbert
Applebaum— "The Jew, as Soldier,
Patriot, and Citizen;" David Ilarack
—"Great men of the Jewish Race;"
Hertel Shur—"The Day of Atone-
ment;" Ben Roscnstien—"The need of
European Jewry;" and Louis Rosen-
sweig—"Rosh Ilashona."
:J. Burly Horwitz, an honorary mem-
ber of the Philomathic, also delivered
an eloquent addresd to the members
relative t othe welfare of the organ-
ization.
Another prominent man to address
the organization at last Sunday's
meeting was B. Isaacs, well known in
Jewish circles, and principle of Wit-
kin's Talmud Torah. He spoke on
"Jewish Education." Ile outlined the
growth in the movement to give Jew-
ish children a Hebrew education. As
a whole his speech was very entertain-
ing and instructive.
There will be no meeting this Sun-
day, October 2, due to Rah Haahona.

COLONIAL THEATER
OFFERS FINE BILL

Patrons of the Colonial Theater,
Woodward and Sibley, will be treated
to a One bill of Marcus Loew vaude-
ville.
The bill next week will be headed
by "Let's Go" with Batchelor, Vert
and Kramer & Co. comedians, who will
present the laughable farce, "Fun in
a Railroad Station," which is said to
be a scream. Other acts on the bill
will include Bravo, 'Michielena and
Trujillo, former musical stars, who
will appear in a revue of Spanish
songs and dances while clad in the
picturesque native costumes of sunny
Spain; Walter Kaufman, a well
known fun maker, in the skit, "Home
Brew," which is good for several
laughs; Buhla Pearl, a soubrette who
will present a repertoire of popular
songs, and Peters and LeBuff, comedy
acrobats, in a series of bumps, bounces
and falls.
The picture offering will bring to
the screen the powerful actress, Paul-
ine Frederick in "Roads of Destiny,"'
a play suggested by 0. Ilenry's story.
The story is that of four women
who seek to escape the fate which
destiny seems to have mapped out for
them . No matter which road they
take they run into the very fate;
which they try so hard to escape. Miss
Frederick enacts the four different
women, a task which calls for all the
splendid ability which she possesses.,
The cast supporting her includes
Grace Darmond, John Bowers and
John Tucker. Shorter screen subjects
