LAST TIMES “Dangerous Business” is a film ver- eion of the widely read novel ‘“The Chessboard” written by Madelaine Sharp Buchanan and adapted for the screen by John Emerson and Anita Loos. It Is-different than the usual run of photoplays inasmuch as in the big|and love affairs on an-affable’ young in which the supposed ‘hus- scene xud’’ orders his bride to undress and | ban g0 to bed in their bridal suite she|, i8 fforced “to“obey at) i . It is not-a-play-that-is'supposed to convey pass.a vital ide», ‘this _unct on ! plot is too gdod to spdfl i’ théteNing. The heroine is;played by Consthinice Talmadge, whose popularity ong film fans will be further enhanced by the freshness and charm she dis- plays in the role of Nancy Flavell. Indeed she may be confidently ex- pected to bring many new devotees to her shrine by her handling of this somewhat difficult role. Difficult be- cause she is not the persecuted hero- ine, but largely the author of her own troubles. The picture has been lavishly cast. Kenneth Harlah, as the supposititious husband, acts the lord and master to the entire subju- gation of Nancy. Nina Cassavant as Nancy’s particular chum and confi- dante portrays the part of Genevieve understandingly. ‘“‘Dangerous Busi- ness’ 'is ably directed by R. Willlam Neill. i A MYSTERY TALE TO BAFFLE WOMAN'’S INTUITION AT GRAND ‘Where a man uses his brain. to. arrive at a conclusion, a woman use her intuition:’ - “Instinetively '‘she knows or feels that which:a man reaches only through logical reason- ing.” But the mystery of “Ode Hour Before Dawn,” in which H. B. Warn- er will be starred at the Grand the- ater tonight, will baffle a man’s brain and defy a wonian’s intuition. ““One Hour Before Dawn’ is far from being the'usual type of murder mystery, for herein hypnotism plays a prominent part. The question of whether or not H. B. Warner, as the hero, committed the murder while under a_hypnotic spell, keeps the audience guessing at every turn. Jesse D. Hampton, in presenting H. B. Warner for the first time. as a Pathe star, has selected an excellent supporting cast' headed by beautiful Anna Q. Nilsson and including ‘Aug- ustus Phillips, Thomas Guise, How- ard Davies, Frank Leight, Adele Farrington, Lillian Rich and many others. REX THEATER THURSDAY Lionel Barrymore is the star of “The Devil's Garden,” which will be the screen attraction at.the Rex the- ater, beginning Thursday. Playing opposite the famous actor in the lead- ing feminine role is Doris Rankin who in private life is Mrs. Lionel Barrymore, and who, like her hus- band and other members of the il- lustrious Barrymore family, won an enviable reputation on the stage be- fore going to the screen. Other mem- bers of the cast are such well known | McAvoy. The picture is an adaptation of W. B. Maxwell's widely read novel of the same name. It was produced by William Bennéett as the second of hix Lionel Barrymore releases through Associated First Natlonal Pictures, his first having been “The | Master \Mind.” Kenneth Webb di- rected. “FLAME OF YOUTH” AT REX TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY A new Shirley Mason picture is a theatrical evenbthat may be de- pended upon to h\ue a stir., This dainty player is to appear at the Rex theater Tuesday ~and, Wednesday, playing the role in. ‘Flame of Youth,” @ Willlam Fox productioh. A Shirley Mason. pictires*are cis~ tinct of the sort that may be, enjoy- ed by old and young-—always' clean and bright and filled with good,-up- 1ifting human emotion. In “Flame of Youth'’ she has » rnle very different from all those she has played before, yet having this duiu. freshness in common. Shirley Ma-] son is the incarnation of youth and high spirits, and she may be expect- |. ed to do wonders with such a part as that of the little Belgian foundling | who is the heroine of ‘Flame of Youth.” The scenes are laid in the| Belgian conuntryside and in the art- | iats’ quarter of Paris. The theme is 1dve and romance and art. The com- bination arouses interest, and the name of Howard M. Mitchell as direc- tor adds assurance that the produc- tion is well dome, for Mr. Mitchell is celebrated for his exactness in mat- ters of detail and his almost uncanny knack of building up dramatic mo- ments to a climax—in other words, of telling a story in the most dra- matic w HOBART BOSWORTH COMING Hobart Bosworth™ ot “Sea Wolt” fame has long ‘beenidentified with roles of the sea and Alaskan locales.

Sightseers from the hinterland who crowd Fifth avenue buses are not half so Interested In such spectacles as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the great railroad ter- minal stations, the Woplworth build- ing and other skygcrapers, the long expanse of water front, with its great sea craft, the palaces nlang the world’s greatest and most gorgeous thorough- fare, or the rabble under the nitrogen lamps of!

The sight of a Vanderbilt or.an As- tor would repay most of these sight- seers, say the bus conductors. A close up of John D.

' ‘Tree’s Peculiar Growth, Trees that grow with a spiral twist concealing a ropelike fiber under s straight bark, are not unknown, but are generally regarded as arboreal | curlosities. A recent Instance in which | a pine tree of this curlous formation. discovered through the agency of a lightning stroke, is reported by W, Kern, of New York city.

To_ begin withi, wonien love laces, and Jace makers: sthnulate thelr. devation by constantly turning out: new and ‘al- luring ~arieties ‘of lace. More than all else. the general usefulneds of lace gowns Is a factor in thelr favor—they fit in for formal and jnformal wenr, ac- cordinig to the accessories worn with them, and are at home either in after- noon or evening affnirs. Black, brown and ecru laces are in demand just now, at the beginning of a season that may see the liat of col- ors incrensed. They are made up with silks or sating, usually in the same color, but with contrasting color notes in girdles and sashes, or in trimmings, which are sparingly: used with lace. Paris says, “longer and wider- skirts,” and all the world says, “ribbons.”” With these assurances, the -designer of lace frocks has everything to encour- age him, ‘(! ;ru:uen of Medical , |-000,000 Chinese people can receive-scl- ~ ! ward ‘medicine, a survey has receitly. <] ter-on: the_study of i 1n the lovely frock pictured we have taffeta which may jbe imagined in tan ranged in a leng tanie with points at the. bottom, falling: below the hem of: the skirt. < This hem, it should be neted, makes no pretentions to even- ness.

The root-stock is planted in good, moist soil out of doors. or started in a hotbed or a greenhouse and transplanted. In the fall it is stored where dampnesg and frost cannot reach it. ~In the Pacific islands the rootstock is used for food extensively, the poi of Hawail belbg made from it.

At one time—in the Fourteenth or Fifteenth century—people . wore the points of their shoed so long that they were in danger of tumbling over them when they walked.
