GREED PROVES
TRIUMPH OF ART
STARK REALISM IN PHOTOPLAY
VERSION OF FRANK NORRIS’
GREAT NOVEL, “M’TEAGUE
The most talked of picture of the
year comes to the Liberty Theatre
tonight tot the first time. It is Eric
von Stroheim’s production of Greed—
the Metro-Goldwyn director’s literal
film version of Frank Norris’s novel
“McTeague.”
During its two years of production
the picture was the subject of innu
merable newspaper and magazine ar
ticles. The fact that von Stroheim at
tempted stark, uncompromising real
ism without the slightest sop to the
atrical convention, that he staged the
picture enirely in the actual locations
described in the original novel, and
that in the latter consideration he led
an expedition into Death Valley, made
the picture a topic of wide interest.
New York reviewers quoted it as the
most important picture ever made.
“Greed” tells the story of an ex
carboy of the Big Dipper mine who
picks up a smattering of crude den
tistry, eventually opening an unlicens
ed office in San Francisco, marries the
daughter of a thrifty Swiss-German
family living in Oakland and then
goes into mental and physical disinte

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.—Press re
ports state that Mayor-elect Walker,
of New York City, is to make a
southern trip in the interest of Tam
many, and presumably in the inter
ests of Governor A1 Smith. The
South will be interested to know Mr.
Walker’s connection with New York’s
odorous prizefighting game and with
those elements in New York which
are doing their best to murder Am
erican standards of morality.
The advancement of Governor A1
Smith* as a proposed presidential
candidate is, in view of the circum
stances of the last campaign, aston
ishing effrontery, and there is no
doubt it will so appear to the south.
Mr. Walker, who will experience a
courteous hospitality not given to
Mr. McAdoo’s southern delegates at
the New York convention, need not
be misled thereby into believing that
the south will support the country’s
foremost political champion of the li
quor interests.
The South has come into a new i
and wonderful prosperity which is :
the fruit of two generations of care- j
ful, intelligent conservation of the i
merits of the pre-war civilization
and of devoted industry for fifty
lean years. It has kept the faith and y
nowr has sympathy and understand
ing of the entire country in the dif
ficulties which are rapidly being
cleared away, a sympathy no less |
than southern pride in northern in- j
dustry and economic achievement.
Let the south remember the de
fiance by Tammany, of the Democrat
ic decision rendered by the south,
west and a large portion of the east
that the liquor traffic shall not be
legalized and protected in its ex
ploitation of the Aerican people. Let
it remember the propaganda which
is systematically organized to in
cite crime in the south and west in
order that the prohibition law' may be
overthrown by these criminal activ
ities. Let us remember that Gov.
A1 Smith and his friends wrere the
first political group in America to
introduce a religious issue into a
convention of a political party, an
I atrocious thing to do in a country
J where all religions stand upon the
same basis. The effort to make it
appear that Gov. Smith’s opponents
are “prejudiced” against his religion
is as false now as it w’as then. To
a man they have more respect for a [
good Catholic than they have for a!
! bad Protestant. But they will never :
accept as a president a man wrhose i
conduct of his office as governor pro-1
moted the effort to stabilize a con- :
dition of nullification in xYmerica’s
greatest state, and incited ignorant
and criminal people thruout the coun
try to violation of the law\ Let the
south remember the insults and epi
thets that w’ere showered upon the
delegates wrho refused to be bullied \
into this political conspiracy. |
The country needs two political j _
parties and needs them badly. It j
needs a strong Democratic party and
a strong Republican party for the
purposes of the 1928 campaign. It
needs twTo parties w'hich can com
mand the respect of the entire Am
erican people. If Tammany, or a
Tammany candidate is allowed to dic
tate the nomination at the next Dem
ocratic convention the south knows
that for all practical purposes there
will be but one party wThen the peo
ple march to the polls in November.
It is exceedingly doubtful if the Dem
ocrats could carry a single southern
state with Governor A1 Smith as can- _
didate for president, and it is not at
all certain that they could carry any
state at all. Let the south be on its
guard. Let all America be on its
guard.
