HUGE SUPER-DRAMA ; COMING TO THE REX THEATER [ It is said the advent of the new |super-drama, “Passion,” to be pre- |tional at the Rex theater for a limit- |ed engagement, marks a new and | progressive erain motion picture pro-| duction. This massive attempt at ex-} ceilling in the silent diversion is not only described as tremendously big in its etory and settings, but it es- | tablishes new standards in the scope {and power of visuallzation. Stress is {laid on the new technical perfec- | tions with which fit ds claimed to be {filled; there Is a depth of panoramic perspective which has never been seen on the screen hefore—big pul- sating scenes from the pages of life | which seem doubly' realistic because of the stereoscopic character of the | photography. In “Passion’ there is a eystem of photography which has| discovered the method of reproducing not merely shadows and reflections, but bodies and scenes which are en- |dowed with their true dimensions. | This novelty, alone marks a new style of entertainment. “Passion” has for its story an in- timate version of the life and ad- ventures cf the ill-fated little French | milliner, Jeanne Marie Vaubenier, who rises from her lowly place among | the masses to the command of a king | and the nation through her irresis- | tible charms. Later she becomes the storm center in thrillingly tempest- uous @evolts because of its hatred of this very product of their kind.

DOES NOT BELONG IN CITY When the Arabian Musical Instrument, the Arghul, Comes to Town, - It Degenerates. In Cairo the arghul Is played at night in the old and on the streets of the underworid, lending its note and interpretation to love songs that somehow follow when everything 2lse in life has been lost or left be- hind, writes Robert Hamilton Rucker in Asia Magazine. At an Arabian cafe an old man from the street wili play and young men will sing while the coffee is being made. The arghul sings with each and talks with each, sympathizes, understands and seems so earnest as to make one half belicve that the young man is singing from his own heart and that the arghul, long accustomed to such confidence, knows it full well. But, like many of the country bred, it seems to degenerate when it comes to town. It falls upon evil ways; it sings of love to the loveless; it hovers about the low cafes. Its friend, the tabla—more. pretentiotis, ‘and | more astute—changés Its name when it comes to town and does not appear alone at night'in dark, unfrequented streets. It is known as the darabukeh, and Is seen in the high-class cafes | where favorites:‘dance to the music it brings. It has more rhythm than melody; much volume but iittle feel- ing. It talks from the head and sings to ithe feet. But ‘the arghul is all sentiment and sympathy. Its place is the desert; its. home, we knew as we listened there on. the rugs' in front of our tents, is in the wastes of the sandy plain and the stillness he starlit night. i L S Age of Discretion.
