Just as’he s about to put thru his crooked deal along comes him squarely back in the center of the path, with a sweet little bride- to-be as an incentive for him to stay there. “The Jailbird” is jammed full of clever comedy situations and is a fit- ting sequel to the former pictures which have been the means of ele- vating MacLean fo stardom. The story, which was written by Julien Josephson, was directed by Lloyd Ingraham. Bert Cann was the pho- tographer.

However, -dramatic cvents work a transformation in both the young Englishman and his bride and the ending is a happy one. “Behold' My Wife!” has been film- ed against a vackground of snow-cap- ped mountain peaks, bleak Canadian trading posts, and luxurious English country homes. The action is inter- preted by a distinguished cast includ- ing Mabel Julienne Scott, Elliott Dex- ter, Milton Sills and Ann Forrest. Frank Condon adapted the story to the screen. It is a Paramount super- special. LAUGHING CONTEST TO BE STAGED AT GRAND TONIGHT ‘What will undoubtedly turn in to a laughing contest will be staged at the Grand theatre tonight and tomor- row night, when Harold Lloyd, the screen premier comedian, will appear in the Mirthquake Special entitled “High and Dizzy.” Lloyd with his ‘happy-go-lucky, devil-may-care per- sonality, and his absolute originality, and big horn-rimmed glasses, has taken the place of the screen’s fore- most comedian, anc “High and Diz- zy” which follows his last comedy “The Eastern Westerner will fur- ther establish him in this reputation.

It was at Carey's ranch that .ue Universal star entertained Eugene Manlove Rhodes for a week, and the well-known- author helped Harry ar- range the scenario of his popular nov- el, “West Is West,” which served him ds his latest screen vehicle. ““West Is ‘West” has its scenes laid in the ranching and mining country in Ari- zona, and the actual locations were usged in filming the.story. The mining scenes were taken at the United Ver- de and Daisy mines, the richest cop- per producers in‘the world. “UNDER CRIMSON SKIES” STORY OF ROMANTIC SEAS Splendidly acted by-a great com- of tempest andshine that has seldom been equal- led for their magnificent photoplay.

THE PIONEER WANT ADS BRING RESULTS “WILL SEE IT THROUGH,” SAYS GRIFFITH, V. P. By RUSSELL BROWNING, (United Press Staff Correspondent) Dublin, Nov. 16.—(By Mail)— “The young men of Ireland are going to see this thing through,” said Ar- thur Griffith, vice president of the Irish “Republic,’ to the United Press. Griffith is considered by some to be the “doctrinaire” of Sinn Fein. Because of his reported moderate views he has been unmolested by the itish authorities. h generation in the past,” continued the Sinn Fein leader, “has seen.a movement for Irish freedom crushed in blood, hangings and de- portations, only to rise up again with accumulated intensity, as the babies of the last struggle become the young men of the next. There is a touch of spirituality about Irishmen that, inspired by examples like MacSwiney and kept burning by Sinn Fein pol- icy of- education and natmnn]qs_ A must inevitably cast off the foreign- ers’ misrule.” 5 4 Griffith was asked who he consid- ered responsible for the present state of affairs in Ireland. ‘“The present inhumanities practiged ‘by the Army of Occupation in Ireland,” replied Griffith, “are the’ result of the com- plete “bankruptcy of British states- manship, as evidenced by _such a puerile tool of oppressionists as Greenwood being placed at the head of the so-called DBritish government of Ireland. I believe that the na- tions of the world will eventually unite in demanding freedom for the nation that, in the worlds of Ter- ence MacSwiney, ‘is prepared;to sufirro fer most.”” .

I am not Hand- some to look upon, but I am Prompt, Alert, Active, Strong; and there is a say- ing: “Handsome is as Hand- some does.” To prove my Faithfulness and Dependability, I shall give myself a “Character,” as your Mother’s Old and Faithful Servants did once upon a time when Servants were a Pleasure and not a Problem. i My Family is Old as Time Itself. My last Name is Watt; I was named after the Promi- nent Scottish Family of that Name, and am Proud of it; and I will tell you a little ot the history of that side of My Family. Of course, you know by this time that I am Electric Power, or Force, which has existed throughout the Ages. but which first was studied and written .about by Dr, William Gilbert of Queen Elizabeth of England’s time. Galvani, an Italian, is credited with first detecting a current, or fiow, of Elec- tric Force, and his name is used as the basis for the name of the Process of Gal- vanizing Iron. In the same way the name of Volta, another Iatlian, who developed the first suc- cessful electric' battery, is used to designate “Voltage,” which is: The electrical pressure which sends electric current ‘through a wire; just as “pressure” designates the force which sends water through a pipe. Thus a “60- volt” current of electricity differs from a “120-volt” cur- vent of electricity as a 15- pound water pressure differs from a 30-pound water pres- sure. Water istransmitted through hollow pipes; elec- tric energy thrdugh solid wires. Water runs through the hole in the pipe, the out- side of which confines and presents the loss of the wa- ter. In the transmission of electrical energy the copper core of the wire corresponds to the “hole” in the pipe, and the insulation corresponds to the pipe itself, confining and preventing the escape of electric energy, or current. 1 shall continue My Story next month.
