F' NEWS OF THE THEATRES elindbdhcbedonbiubadiubud ol b bbbl s s et i et bbb | SLAYING THE HIPPOPOTAMUS (AT GRAND THEATER TONIGHT ‘When Dr. Leonard J. Vandenbergh {the miseionary explorer, went to Af- mica to make mow.ng pictures of tri- al customs in the jungle, and which are graphically filmed in a series of four episodes under the title “Wild Men of Africa” and which will be shown at the Grand theater tonight and Thursday, he and his party parti- pated in an exciting Hippopotamus unt. The hippo was shot but sank into the water and the carcas was not re- covered for four days. Then followed a barbecue which was attended by the men and; women of the tribe and the detzfils of the function are finely vis- malized in the episode, “Slaying the Hippopotamus,” the third of the ““Wild Men of ‘Africa” series. Some of the features of the episode finclude views of the wild Shilluks, victims of sleeping sickness and in- ‘cantations of witch-doctors, leaping fish of Ripon Falls, the original jazz band, the manufacture of bark cloth, a Baganda barber and his patient, vietims of primitive justice, food and delicacies of the Bagandas, the “hootch” of the tribe, the Kavironda war bonnets and funeral customs of the Kavirondas. The pictures are ‘well worth seeing. “THE MOTHER HEART” AT THE REX TODAY One of the most interes§ing and entertaining photoplays of the year is on display at the Rex theater where ‘it opened a two, days engage- ment yesterday. . “The Mother Heart” is a story about a family in dire distress, with the father compelled to steal enough food to appease the famiily hunger and sentenced to a term in prison for his trespass. During the father’s dn- carceration the mother, bowed with shame, dies, and her place is taken by a young daughter—-admirably por- conditions appeared to be very fav- orable, dipeni\ng upca [fthe view- | boint. Condiitions became too unfavorable, however, when the storm broke for it was one of those that hag no respect for. motion picture companies or any one else. The scenes were “shot” all right, but when it came to returning to dry land the cast found itself in somewhat of /a predicament. The ship became unmanageable and for. a while things looked serious. Fiinally, ‘however, aften the entire erew had been given a real scare, the storm sub- sided almost as suddenly as it arosc and the party was soon on dry land once more, GAIN AND LOSE POPULARITY Words Travel in Cycles, Speakers and Weriters Dropping Into the Mode of the Moment. “Allocation,” sald the wordmonger. “13 a word that Is being given con- slderable promisence, it became popu- lar during the war in connection with ships and loans. The ‘allocation’ of shipping and-the ‘allocation’ of loans came to be current phrases. Not long ago the senate called on the President for Information as to how he had ‘al- located certain funds. In a recent newspaper story about an operatic benefit In one of the big clties the newspapers snid that ‘the allocation of boxes is to be based on the slze and date of the contribution: “sAllocation’ Is so closely allied to ‘gllot, ‘assign’ and ‘apportlon’ that the shipping and treasury authorities might just as well have sald the ‘allotment’ of ships and the ‘apportion- ment’ of funds or loans. But words come Into fashion and writers and speakers fall into or ‘fall for’ the pre- vailing mode in words as some per sons do for the prevalling colors in socks or necktles and the prevaling trayed by Shirley Mason---who moth- ers the baby and also looks after the welfare of an older sister of the but- terfly type. The older dister, being adopted into a wealthy family, suffers greatly from the embarrassment of having poor relations and in the en- deavor to make sure her social climb- ing nearly weds a dishonest young ‘business man—the man who sent her father to prison. i 1t s all straightened out eventu- ally by the girl with the mother heart, and ends with the vain uis- ter seeking pardon and forgiveness of the little sister she had wronged. The story is an exceptionally pret- ty one, and was recd.ved with evident enthusiasm by the audience. ‘Willlam Fox. is the producer of “The Mother Heart,” which was writ- ten and directed by Howard M. Mitchell. . FORMER FOLLIES GIRL IN “SHELTERED DAUGHTERS” Perhaps’ the most beautiful girl who ever adorned that famous beauty show, the Foliles, Justine Johnstone ‘brought to her screen career not only a real fame and personal popularity, but an unusual grace and charm. In “Sheltered Daughters,” the gives evi- @dence of unusual acting ability. The story of “Sheltered Daughters’” concerns a girl whose father, a fa- mous detectjve, has resolved to shield his daughter from any knowledge of the crime and e}l of which he him- self knows so much. The girl is not even permitted to read the newspa- pere. lest her innocent mind be defiled by reading of crime and scandal. So great is her ignorance of the world that she falls easy prey to a clever crook whotis planning a partic- ularly daring coup and needs the as- pletanca of just such a sweet, lady- | like girl as Jenny is. Of course, it in the nervy cub reporter who foils the scheme and wins the girl. Tha Grand theater has hooked “Sheltered Daughters” for two days, beginning itonight. It is a Realart release, and Miss Johnstone's third ptarring picture. X “THE BIG TOWN ROUND-UP” AT REX THEATER SUNDAY Coming! The only Mix---Tom.

One of the hig scenes in this pic- ture, a gripping story of the sca, ie a storm. Storms on the Pacllic Ocean aren’t everyday occurances so this sceny was delayed until weather style in haircuts, says the Wushing ton Star. In the ‘olden times'—that 13, when grandfather was In buslness— ‘allocation’ had somewhat of a run as a financial' word and one could often hear and see the phrase ‘allocation of the shares of the company.’” Left an “Imprint.” ‘While in my sophomore year at college I was acting in a play in our assembly hall, writes a correspondent of the Chicago Journal. It was a sort of Romeo and Juliet affair written by the mother of one of the students, and, as In most plays, we were “made up” lavishly. In the midst of the love scene, I, being the Jullet of the.per- formance, was just kissing the Romeo, when to our surprise, the audience burst into shrieks of laughter. Then T discovered the cause. On the cheek of Romeo was a little round red spot ~—the imprint of my kiss} Guitar Introduced by Moors. The guitar was introduced into Spain by the Moors about the year 1288. By the beginning of the Nine- teenth century the Spanish guitar had become a fashionable instrument on the continent. Ferdinand Sor, a Span- fard, brought the guitar into great popularity in England with his com- positions, He succeeded in banishing the less perfect English Instrument. Mauro Giuliani, an Itallan, was a dis tinguished rival of Sor's. Other well- known composers were Leganl, Kreut zer and Leonard Schulz, Berlioz and Paganini were guitarists of note, “Roar” of an Ostrich, A lecturer at the London “Zoo” sald that very few people knew that an ostrich roared. The roars of an ostrich and a lion were so alike that Dr. Livingstone could never distin- gulsh the difference, save by the fact that the bird roared by day and the lon by night.—Sclentific American, Suez Canal to Be Tunneled. The great military base at Kantara, from which the British built a mili- tary railway through the desert to Palestine, Is being dismantled. The line, of course, is permanent. During the war the Suez canal was crossed by a large swing bridge, which Is now to be dismantled. Conncction between the Bgyptian rallways and the new line to l'alestine will be maintained by means of a tunnel which will be bullt below the Suez canal. "Twas the Room Went Upstairs. Teddy had returned from the city and was describing a large department store he had visited. He seemed greatly Impressed by the ‘helght ot the building and the number of floors. One of his little playmates who had been listening attentlvely finally in- quired: “Did you go away, ay up- stalrs?” “No,” sald Teddy. Ve just went into the tiniest, tinlest little room and stood still and the little room went upstairs.” $3 REWARD Will be paid to thevperson who locates a suitable house for rent. paid when house is in must contain at least Reward will be my possession.

PRACTICAL, neat ana very prec- ty separate skirt, as pictured here, for mid-summer wear, is typical of the majority of separate skirts, which are tallored affairs as useful as suits. It is representative of only this one class of skirts, however, for there are as many types of skirts as there are of. hats and they are all made in unending variety. Nothing is prettier for ordindry wear than skirts of striped or cross-bar ma- terials in which a color or black re- lieves the plainness of all white. Light wool fabries with hairline stripes or crossbars in black, like that in the skirt pictured, have found many ad- mirers this summer. Others, with stripes in high colors alternating with white, are box or side plaited so that the white predominates, and there are ITALIAN DUKE PLANS T0 MAKE COLONIES PAY By Henry Wood, (United Press Staff Correspondent) Rome.— (Pv Mail)—The Duke «f the Abbruz s again putting his per- sonal services at -the disposition. of the crown in a serious effort to de- velop Italy’s colony of Somaliland, down near the Red sea. 4 He has already been there several months and Italy is now beginning to receive some of the fruits of his efforts. Up to the present time, Italy’s col- onies have been much more of a lia- bility to her than a dividend-paying asset, They consist principally of Tripoli and Cirenaica in_the north- ern part of Africa, and Erytrea and Italian Somaliland in the eastern part. None of them have ever reach- ed a point of development to render them an important factor in Italy’s economic life, as is the case with the colonies of nearly all the other Eu- ropean countries. f This situation Italy is now trying to remedy and the Duke of Abbruz- zi’s expedition into Somaliland is one of the first steps in that direction. He is putting into the task all of the scientific knowledge as well as patri- otic zeal that characterized his polar voyages and his other undertakings on behalf of Italy. He will remain in the Somaliland until October, when he expects to be able to render the government a complete record on the economic pos- sibilities of the colony. One of his principal tasks is the supervising of the work already under way for ren- dering navigable the Ubei Scheli riv- er for its entire length. then serve as the means of transpor- tation necessary for the material for putting large tracts of the colony un- der_cultivation. Huge quantities of agricultural machinery and other material have already reached Mogaiscio. This is be- ing distributed -over the colony as fast as means of transportation can be developed. Aside from about sixty white work- men whom he has with him, the Duke of Abbruzzi is depending exclusive- ly on indigenous labor for carrying out the various projects to place the territory under cultivation and ren- i]i?- it an asset : to Italy’s national e. EVE'S SISTER, OLDEST OF WOMEN, REACHES LONDON My A. J. West, (United Press Staft Correspondent) London, July 12.—Eve’s sister has arrived in London.

Among the newest skirts for dressy wear there are heavy crepe weaves in silk with wide printed borders of flor- al patterns In many colors. The skirts are made up with this wide border about the hips or at the hem, and a sash of white crepe, lined with chiffon in a color, accompanies them. Skirts of georgette banded with HMas satin bands in graduated widths, and skirts of taffeta silk with wide borders of duvetyn or other cloth at the bottom, are new and make opportunity for fine color combinations. //Qé;égms%fi% COPYRIGHT BY WISTERN NEVSPAPER UNIOW Egypt, has iust brought this mummie to Londom;#-She: is' at least 8,000 years old. :Beside her Moses is quite a: modern g fellow, and to her the twel'\"re.c\ae'sars are but as yester- day. She lived) in pre-dynastic Egypt, long before 'history had begun. She was thousarids of years before the Pyramids anid before men chipped on stone the record of their lives and times. . Although other pre-dynastic skeletons -pave been discovered in Egypt, this®is -the oldest preserved body of a woman: ever known. Experts say she was about 20 years old when 'she died. She lies with her knees drawn up to her chin and one hand resting before her mouth. Her preservation is due to exposed in the sun. She has been sun-dried and then left in the sands of Egypt while empires rose and fell and centuries, like tides, washed over the world: Most of her bones are exposed, a pale amber color, and here and there a few inches of neatly woven cloth adheres to them—her 8,000-year-old gown! Her head is wonderfully pre- served. Her eyes were large, her forehead broad, and she was cer- tainly a tall, sim girl. The museum in which she lies, con- tains some ‘beautfiul, soft Egyptian {abrics. Perhaps some night a poor little ghost will be seen looking for a new dress, because, at the moment, Eve’s sister is by far the worst dress- ed woman in London.
