The feminine star of Allan Dwan's production, “The Forbidden Thing.” playing at the Grand, begin- ning. Saturday, passes all her time between pictures behind the covers of a book or magazine. She is a students philosopher and sagvant—yet she is one of the most unspoiled art- ists in motion pictires today. ‘When she was told that she would play the part of Joan in “The Forbid- den Thing,” she quickly gathered to- gether all her literature on the Pil- grim fathers, New England customs, manners and people. * Therefore,’ when you see her in “The Forbidden Thing” you will see a bit of interpre- tative work seldom registered on the screen. Mr. Dwan remarked shortly after the picture had been completed that Miss Eddy’s character delineation was the most finished and human thing-he had ever seen in pictures’ Disappointed in love, Joan strug- gles with her troubles, ever grow- ing better and ever becoming the wonderful woman who is the marvel of the village.

He must have studied history, it is true; he must be familiar with what is known of the art and life of Old| Egypt and he must have mastered the anclent language so that he can read the hieroglyphs carved on temple and| tomb. But scholarship is only part of his| equipment. He must know something| of engineering and something of draw- ! ing; he must have a sense of organi-| zation; he must himself be ready to: turn to with pick and shovel, should occasion arise. The task of disinterfing ancient’ structures and thelr precious contents uninjured is a delicate one, not to be done hastily or haphazaradly. In addition to belng scholar and; engineer, linguist and artist, the mod-; ern archeologist must understand how | to handle men. The men employed | n archeological excavation in Egypt| are usually boys from 10 to 20 yenrs{ of age. Older than that, in a country | where men and women age tragically | fast, they are likely to be stupid. Usually they are irresponsible and, | spurred on by the light-fingered “an-| tika” dealers in neighboring villages. The wise archeologist puts them on | plece-work—so much for every cubic | foot of earth removed, with bakshish, carefuly calculated on the basis of the | “antikn” dealers’ current rates, for | every object unearthed. Since the bakshish varies with the | conditlon of the object, it is to the interest of the worker to get each| “find” out entire, if possible, or, If breakage is inevitable, with no part missing. Half of the minor objects discovered %0 to the Egyptian government and half are retained by the institution conducting the exploration. # SHOWED ENMITY IN BOYHOOD Encounter Between Youthful Crom. | well and King Charl Might Be Called Prophetic. Cromvwell and Charles I of England first met when they were children at | Hinchinbrook house, the home of a | mutual friend of both the king and Oliver’s father. The boys were told to play together while their elders tulked over affairs of state and fash- fon. They got along well enough for a while, and then a dispute arose. The young king was not used to op- position to his princely will, and when Oliver stoutly clung to his rights the king struck him. Oliver cared not a bit that the blow | was afmed by a king's hand. He | swung his somewhat grimy fist as hard as he could, and caught Charles on the nose with the to-be-expected re- sult. Blood flowed in quantities, and | have gone ill with the careless com- moner had not Charles’ father taken a hand and declared that the blow was to be forgiven, as it was given i | in defense of a right, and his son must | hardly belleve it, but would you ob- | learn: to know that right was greater than kings.

The bound- ary is fixed by act of parliament as ‘the 129th degree of longtitude east of Greenwich. The exact position of the longtitude will be ascertained by the use of time signals from a high- power wireless station situated at some point hetwen Greenwich observa- tory, in England, and Sydney, in Aus- tralia, the signals belng received si- multaneously at both stations. Most of the great observatories of the world are now collaborating in a redetermination of the longitudinal division of the earth’s surface by means of wireless time signals, and this is one of the earliest uses of the system to settle a disputed position.
