BELOVED BRAT
Bringing back to the screen, in a triumphant new career, that clever and popular ex-star. Dolores Costello, Я delightful Warner Bros. drams called "Beloved Brat" is scheduled to be shown at the Queen's Theatre to-day,
M'ss, Castello is not the star of the "picture. That's Bonita 14-year- Granville, the brilliant old who stands alone
in her portrayal of brattish and pesti- ferous youngsters. Dolores plays the part of her teacher, the principal of a school conducted on the strictest of lines. And It is Dolores who reforms the mean, selash little creature and changes her into a perfect young lady.

"Beloved Brat*** proves splendid vehicle for the start Mlas Costello's comeback climb toward stardom.

"The public schools, like all thoroughly. English institutions. give a vast importance to be- havloun" he said. "All the Dowers of rellaton are enlisted on the side of good conduct. Sermons are ex- hortations to play the game; con- Armation is a clearing house fur past failure and future resolves: and private prayers are an ex- panded version of Please make me a goud boy."

RELIGION AS A CULT
"Meantime religion itself is re- garded as an extra, a cult for those who like that sort of thing. This substitution of ethics for re- ligion is one of the worst and, coin- munest, betrayals of the religious Ideal of education:"
Mr. Christie spoke of the need | for safeguarding the natural re- ligious instincts of adolescents from dogma. Many people to-day were suffering from repressed religion, which would result in frustration and phobia as surely as the re-
