Your Christmas Choice

N choosing a piano this Christmas, remember
I this—the deeper beauty of the instrument lies
not in gleaming wood and polished ivory, but in
its tone.
For tone is the voice of the piano, which,
awakening. transforms a piece of furniture into a
living thing—human, impassioned, beautiful,

In the Knabe you will find a tonal quality that
is unique—lyric, mellow, pulsing with human
sympathy—a tone horn in the melodious days of
1837, when great nia , ters of music — Chopin,
Schumann, Mendelssohn—poured forth death-
less melody.
Richer and warmer for the years this glorious
heritage of music lives in every Knabe of today—
real, individual, and evident even to untrained
ears.
To receive a Knabc or a Knabe Atnpico is to
receive piano music at its best.

Pianos of other makes, carefully selected because of their
splendid qualities, offer a wide choice for those who prefer
a less expensive instrument.

The Knohe is the Official Piano of
The Niel-0110101ln Opera Company.

Lou are insiiss,si to hear the impko Synoshonique at our
store. We will present the 1921 Christmas Reroriling
to any owner of an AMPICO, regardless of make.

"Here is a precedent for action
by deMille on 'The King of Kings.'
If Metro Goldwyn-Mayer can w-
draw the 'Callahans and the M ur-
phys' because the Irish objected to
it as caricaturing their race in un-
just terms, Cecil deMille and his
backers can withdraw 'The King
of Kings' as infinitely more harm-
ful. Catholic groups and publi-
cations have not feared that the
picture which harmed them would
succeed financially because they ,
attacked it. Its showing in Wash-

"What price silence? What price
silence? I have in my possession
copies of brilliant addresses made
by Rabbi Franklin of Detroit and
Rabbi Bernstein of Rochester,
condemning the entire picture. A
few days ago I received a tele-
phone call from a Jewish lady who
had overheard two Gentiles dis-
cussing the film at the theater
where it was being shown. 'This
shows,' said one, 'just how Jews
killed Christ.' If Jews were in
power in this country, they would
do the same thing,' remarked the
other. 'We went to war,' said the
first Gentile lady, 'and the Jews
stayed at home to make money.'
Any picture which arouses such
venom in the hearts of anyone,
Jew or Gentile, is dangerous. No
community where de-Milk's film
is being displayed is happy during
the period of its showing. The
Christians are disappointed at the
depiction of Jesus and ashamed of
their emotions of hate aroused
against the people of Jesus. The
Jews are indignant and outraged,
uncertain whether to voice their
opinion., helpless in the face of
the indignities heaped on them-
selves and their religion. Occa-
sionally a fine Christian voice of
protest is heard. like that of John

White Eagle" Is
Popular at the Cass

Russell Janney seems to have an.
other success in his latest musical
play, "The White Eagle," which
opened at the Cass Theater, Sunday
night and is to remain one week
more. Of course, since Jenney gave
to the theater his never-to-he-for-
gotten version of "If I Were King"
in the form of "The Vagabond
King" with Rudolf Friml music,
the public and the critics were look-
ing forward to something original
and unusual in "The White Eagle"
which is the musical version of Ed-
win Milton Royle's famous play,
"The Squaw Man" and of course
with Friml music and James Rey-
nolds as the designer of the cos-
tumes and scenery, there was lit•
ale doubts of success.
It might lie well to quote a pant-
graph from one of the critics of
Detroit:
Len G. Shaw of the Freon Press,
says in part: "White Eagle offers
effective dramatic contrast, both in
settings and characters; there is
a story in which interest always
holds; there is acting wide in its
range and ever engrossing."
