Miss Talmadge was married while filming “Lessons in Love,” in which Kenneth Harlan is the leading man. After a brief honeymoon with ther husband, John Pialoglou, she completed the production, and then started work on the Salisbury Field play. George Fawcett, who has a promi- nent part in _Constance Talmadge’s latest Associated First Naional re- Jease, ‘‘Lessons in Love,” is a veteran of the stage and a-pioneer in motion pictures. Born in Virginia, he had an extensive stage experience in both the United States and England be- fore entering the field of-the silent drama. His screen career includes engagements under the “bBanners of Universal, Fine Arts, Selig, Select, Selznick, Paramont, Arteraft and D: W. Gpiffith. - He has appeared in several of Constance Talmadge's most successful productions. Flora Finch, who has an important character part in “Lessons in Love,” the Constance Talmadge picture, was the first woman comic actress in mo- tion pictures. She was for a long time partner of the late John Bunny in his screen comedies. Married life isn’t going to interfere with Constance Talmadge’s scqreen career. So, cheer up fans! There is no reason to be downhearted. The Talmadge studio points out that only recently Constance andl Norma Tal- medge entered into a $20,000,000 contract to make photoplays for Associated First National Pictures, Ine., for an additional three years. And we don't believe she's going to The American public is generally fa- miliar with seeing bits of American scenery that are utilized in motion pictures where needed. In “The Call of Youth,” however since it was actually made in England it was pos- sible to obtain those choice scenes of beauty in which the country abounds. One of the most striking shows a great sweep of English coust with a tiny village resting snuglv urder = huge cliff. Watersmeet,one of the loveliest places in ail wevOoush.C is the trysting place for the lovers whose roinance is the basis of the story. Several other charming shots were taken on the shore around Lynton. An all-English cast of players headed by Ben* Webster, Mary Glynn and Malcolm Cherry will be seen in the picture. Hugh Ford, a famous American director, made the produc- tion from an adaptation by Eve Un- sell. EXTRA BILL AT GRAND TONIGHT 6 REEL SERIAL. 2 REEL COMEDY A picture program presenting three episodes, six reels, of an excellent serial story with a two réel comedy is rarely offered. Such a program may be seen at the Grand theatre tonight, also on Tuesday of next week. In order to quickly end the popular serial story, “Double Adventure,” with minimum expense to patrons who have followed it from the start, episodes 10, 11, and 12 will be shown tonight, followed next Tuesday by the remaining three episodes and the end of the story. This also affords those ‘who have seen one or more episodes of “Double Adventure” an opportunity to pick up the story and quickly see the ending which is un- usually the best part of a picture serial. — e FIGURED IN HISTORIC PAST Representation of Monarch of the Time - of Abraham Now in Pennsylvania Museum. 1In the dim old days of the patriarch Abraham people looked very much as they do now, judging from the oldest representation of human figures un- earthed by the toiling brotherhood of archeologists. Two striking figures, one standing and one seated, are in- cluded in the elaborate design of the clay seal, or “postage stamp,” which has excited the enthusiasm of Dr. Le- grain, curator of the Babylonian sec- tion of the University of Pennsylvania museum. Dr. Legrain has figured out the in- scriptions of the little tablet as indi- cating that it dates from the period when “Ur of the Chaldees,” mentioned in Genesis in connection with the his- tory of Abraham, was a flourishing kingdom. And he finds reason to be- lleve that the seated figure, decorated with flounces of beautiful accordeon plaiting, is a portrait of his majesty Ibl-Sin, the last king of Ur and pos- sibly an intimate friend of the Father of Israel. . To the modern eye both figures are remarkably well drawn and lifelike in attitude, especially considering the fact that they were modéled in clay on a very small scale. ‘Dr. Legrain thinks the tablet served.the double purpose of a seal and a_postage stamp on a sack of money forwarded to a banker named Shulpae by his rever- ence the high priest of the temple of Ur, at which Abraham worshiped. The Chef’s Daily Manicure, One of the daily events in the life of a chef In auy of the lurge New Yark hotels 1s his morning manicure, Before he touches food, his hands are carefully washed and his nalls are cleaned, cut and polished, The job Is not given to a sweet girl manicyri but to one of the hotel phys He is always on hand during the day: should the chel acci- dentally cut himself, the doctor will bandage the wonnd, as he is there for that purpose. Chefs are preclous these days; many of ‘the Krench 'ones—unable 'to get thelr daily hottles of wine—have gone back to France, where the thought of prohibition can still be treated as a Joke, though even in France there are heard onmiinous rumbles between the Jokes passed at our expense.—Popular Science Monthly. Names Traced to Chinese. ‘Many names of cities, mountaing and rivers in the West. and along the which have genetally been regarded as Indian nawmes, are really of Chinese origin, according to a writer in the New York Herald. ven the names of the state of Utah and Nevada are of Chinese origin, he says. “Pe” or “Pie" means north in Chinese; therefore the Pieute Indiang were merely the North Ute Indiaus. TOO HEALTHY FOR MEDICINE People of Tristan da Cunha Throw Supply Left by British Crulser I!!iq the Sea. The island of Tristan da Cunha is deseribed as “an unspoiled haven ‘of rest for the weary soul, a mecca for those who long for relief from worries of life,” by the chaplain of the Brit- jsh cruiser Dartmouth, which-has just returned from a visit to that isolated spot. : “No need to worry over money there, for there is none” said the chaplain. “There are no taxes, no doctors, no lawyers, no clergymen, no policemen, not even a head man. Newspapers and mail arrive, with luck, about once every two ye: “There is vot even any medicine, for the latest supply of remedies was thrown into the sea by the inhabitants, who are remarkably healthy. Epi- demies are unknown. “Tristan Is a British possession in the south Atlantic, between South Africa and South Ameriea.

What is here set down on the affairs touched upon is official, and it was secured by your correspond: ent exclusively. The quotations fol- low: “Fhe Japanese desire to avoid unfor- au at the peace conference in Paris, where for one reason and another it was made to appear that the United States was pitted in diplomatic’ conflict with first one great power and then another, till, by the time the Versaillés treaty was finally agreed upon, practi- in America. “The Tokyo government now seeks to avold, if possible, even the appearance of ‘conflict between American interests | and policies and Japanese interests and policies. In the opinion of most Japanese statesmen there is no issue that should not and could not be set- | tled, both amicably and speedily, and they on their part are willing to go more than; half way to reach any compromise and agreement. | Japan’s Position on Shantung. | “The three most important matters | are the status of Yap, the concessions in Shantung, and the presence of Jap- anese troops in eastern Siberia. The most difficult of these problems seems to be that of the concessions in Shan- tung.

It is -obviously impossible for Japan to give effect to that. declaration until arrangements shall have been made between Japan and China.” Then this official statement which have secured goes on to say that China's attitude has been hesitant, al- though Japan has more than once in- vited China to enter into the negotia- tions. Why They Keep Troops in Siberia.. The .officlal pronouncement “then takes up the Eastern Siberia question as follows: “With regard . to' Eastern -Siberia, Japanese interests and Japanese sub- jects, established in that sparsely set- tled reglon as a result of treaty rights accorded by the former Russian gov- ernment, have been given little or na ‘protection since the ly to take than it is_in the positions Ju' tunate situations, such as developed : cally all' the powers were discredited | {'membered that” this is the individual | viewpoint, and what does not inte: {iest one man mapt-interest another.

Yet it is the in- tentionjof Japan to withdraw her troops from this reglon also as soon as adequate provision is made for the protectfon of liv Japandse residents and for'the defense of the border of Kore!
