I pi (From the New Republic) I ^ In -his heart the spellbinder camrni<rr. rpeaker kncvs, during those p: intervals of leisui'e when he is neither delivering nor meditating hi? .-r.2C'?.Ialitv, that at nine con- _ pi ventions out of ten the result r( would be the same if there were no ^ nominating or seconding speeches. P Knowing this, he must for the next few weeks behave as ii' he ^ did not know it. Tt it his duty to behave as if he did not know it. ^ Sis aim is to make, at Chicago or San Francisco, a crescendo nomina ting: speech, which near its beginning will be punctuated by cheers, ^ Y1 near its middle will be interrupted ^ by ^ storm of cbeers, and after it is over will be followed by a perfect storm of cheers, also called li pandemonium. His hero may be as " uninspiring' as Senator Knox, as drab?though this seems no longer possible?as Senator Harding. No , matter. No difficulty it too for- k midable for the spellbinder. Never 11 does his task appeal him, though D it be to make a statue, something in the marmorschoen or aere perunnius line, of a sitter for whom butter would be an unduly imperishable medium. \%l VVVVUVVVVVVVVVV m V COMING, OPERA HOUSE VI yc V FSiJAY and SATURDAY ' V B; V DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS V "When The Clouds Roll By" Vj pi V 15cts.
