e o e S A D SKINNER SAYS THE MOVIE IS TO STAY Famous Actor Tells Collegians of Dangers that Lie in the Silent Drama HE BELIEVES IN CENSORSHIP The moving pictures have come to stay for a good long while, ac- cording to Otis Skinner and Otis Skinner is not a movie actor, either. | He played Shakespearean plays in the days of Edwin Booth and the rest of the stars some thirty years ago, and since that time has been starring himself in some of the heaviest dramas on the American stage. Mr. Skinner. being in the city for an engagement at the Brandeis, was the guest of the University club at noon, whera he told the college men some remi- niscences of the stage and incidentally expressed himself on the matter of the movies No, there (= no Immediate prospect that the movie will go out of date soon,” eaid the tragedian, ‘but it will never heve the beauty of the spoken drama The danger of the movie lles in it sen- sationalism, and its salacious appeal ‘The Birth of a Nation' ia the greatest movie ever produced, and yet here, too, it de- pends for its popularity on fita salaclous appeal It behooves the government censorship 1o look carefully after this salacious side of the movie. It is more dangerous than any spoken drama for several reasons. In the first place, a movie show can be seen anywhere for 10 cents, which throws it constantly open to the little boy and £irl with their susceptible minds, while the higher-priced theater is not so read- fly accessable to them. Then, too, & movie may be seen any hour of the day or night. while the other is very much limited as to time.' BEATEN OUTLAWS CARRY WOUNDED CHIEFTAIN AWAY (Continued from Page One.) fam Fouston forwarded General Per- shing's dispatch as follow “SAN GERONIMO RANCH, March ~Colonel Dodd struck Villa's command, consisting of 00 men, at 6 o'clock March 9, at Guerrero. Villa, who is suffering from a broken leg and a lame hip, was not present. Number of Villa's dead known to be thirty, probably others carried away dead. Dodd captured two machine guns, & large number of horses, saddles and arms. Our casualties, four enlisted men wounded, none seriously. The attack was a surprise, the Villa troops being driven In a ten-mile running fight and retreated to the mountaina northeast of the rallrond where they sep- arated Into small bands, “A large number of Carranzista pris- oners who were being held for execution Ly thé Villa troops were lihersted during the fight. Mareh Fifty Miles, “In order to reach Guerrero, Colonol Dodd marched fifty miles In seventeen hours and carried on the fight for five hours. “Eliseo Hernandez, who ecommanded Villa troops, was killed in the fight. With Villa permanently disabled, Lopes wounded and Hernandes dead, the blow administered is a serious one to Villa's band." The War department also had in for- mation that the disorganized Vilia troops appeared to be assembling in the upper part of the San Maria valley, and Col- onel Dodd was evidently planning im- mediate pursuit, to press the advantage of his initial vietory. Secretary Baker sent his congratula- 1lans to Generals Funston and Pershing. “Ian't that great,” the secretary sald t upon reading the news of the wmall number of American casualties. He at once advised the White House and Sec- _ retary Lansing of the first victory for the American arms in pursult of Villa. War department officials stated late this afternoon that they belleved the American victory was accomplished do- #pite the fact that the United States troops were outnumbered two to one. Against the 00 Villistas they belteved Colonel Dodd's immediate column eqn- Sisted of about 250 men or possibly 00, Colonel Dodd commanded the second cav- alry brigade, but because of reassign- ments of troops since General Pershing’s expedition departed the War department . information as te troops ipated in the fighting Only Four Amerh Wonnded.

Villa was not present at the fight General Pershing sald that what was regarded as confirmation of the report that he was suffering a broken log had been received. His exact where- abouts had not been learned Colonel Dodd led hia Seventh and Tenth cavalry ‘n A smashing ride from the north toward Guerrers when he learned of the presence there of the Villa forces, covering the fifty-five milea intervening in seventeen hours. General Pershing sald he arrived there at 6 o'clock, going into action immediately, but whether it was 6 in the morning or In the aftef noon, the report did not indidate Villa Foree Suppressed. It was & complete surprise to the Villa force, which had entered into a cele- bration of its victery over the Carranza garrison the day before Soon after the mction hegan the Mexi- cans were breaking for cover and begin- ning to disappear along the trails that lead to the mountains northeast of the raflway. For ten milea the running fight that began at Guerrero was continued, and abandoned only when the division of the retreating foree into numerous small | bodies made pursuit impossible. | Colonel Dodd reported that he had cap- | tured two machine guns and a consider- able number of saddles and rifies.

How ever, he retained enough vitality in his wrists that, by pressing them against the steering wheel, he could feel the touch of the wheel, and he maintained control of the plane. This aviator said that for The cold and other endurance tests to which the aero squadron have been put does not seem to have impaired thelr vital- ity or in the least affected their health. So far as the aviators know none of them have been shot at in any of their flights. One aviator reported a shot had been fired at him while he was on a hMe, doing topographical work, after landing from the American lines. This man did not see where the shot came from and it was not repeated. Throw Off Colds and Prevent Grip. When you feel a cold coming on, take talions.
