1 % THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER §, 1921 TONIGHT IN “I AM GUILTY” That Louise Glaum is an actress of great emotional talent and variety of 0od we have learned through a year ‘and .a half of splendid vehicles pro- vided her by her producing manager, " J. Parker Read, Jr., but Miss Glaum’s versatility comes brilliantly to our motice in “I Am Guilty!” Mr. Read’s latest Associated Producers’ Special. Showing last times at the Grand theatre tonight. Miss Glaum plays the part of Con- ‘nie MacNair, a “somewhat different” show girl who settles down to mar- ' ried life with a man who fails to ap- preciate her woman’s need of affec- tion and attention. While Robert Mac- Nair (Mahlon Hamilton) is away on a business trip, Connie takes one last fling at pleasure, and through a melo- dramatic concatenation of circum- stances is placed on a compromising situation. ~ A wealthy clubman is killed and Connie believes she is the murderess. How Bradley King has developed this story through six reels of splendid mystery, suspense and original dramatic situation is a joy to the jaded picture-goe who has been used to having dished up to him the same movie plot in a hundred dif- ferent but obvious guises. The work of Miss Glaum, as said before, is con- vincing, and the characterizations of her supporting cast, e?ecially Mahlon Hamilton, Joseph ilgour, Ruth Stonehouse, May Hopkins, George Cooper, Claire DuBrey and little Mickey Moore are admirable. “NOT GUILTY” AT THE REX THEATER AGAIN TODAY ) “Not Guilty,” the photoplay which is showing on the screen of the Rex theater today, is arousing interest among patrons of that house be- cause many have read Harold Mc Grath’s thrilling novel, “Parrot & Company,” from which it is adapted. - The feature is released through the Associated First National Pictures, Inc., and is a Sidney A. Franklin pro- duction presented by Albert A. Kauf- man. The plot is an unusual one and involves twin brothers who love the same woman, and who, strange to say, are both loved by her. One of the brothers commits a crime, turns out to be a murderer and his twin changes identity with the guilty brother. Then events follow in rapid sequence. The innocent brother, self-exiled, goes to India, the land of “brilliant days and purple nights” where the love, the life, the lure of the tropical east soothes the hopes and hearts of the civilized west. Then by coincidence the girl visits India. But the path of true love, which never did run true, winds through a veritable jungle of tense situations to an amazing climax. “THE SCARAB RING” AT THE ELKO THEATRE TONIGHT Alice Joyce in“The Scarab Ring” is the feature photoplay attraction at the Elko theatre tonight and Thurs-; day. “The story of “The Scarab Ring” is one of unusual interest, holds the at-| tention from the first flash and at! times fills the audience tense with emotion, suspense and mystery. The love element is introduced early in the story and is well developed. In fact, two love stories run simultane- ously. The element of mystery deals with the solving of a crime of which the heroine is accused, due to circum- stantial evidence in the form of a searab ring. This scarab is supposed to be the only ome of its kind in exist- ence. A clever lawyer, the father of the heroine’s sweetheart, proves that there are scarabs and scarabs and that it is foolish to claim any one thing the only one of its kind in the world. Upon this theory hinges the action of the story) Whether the lawyer was right or not'is told by the picture.

Esquimalt, B. C.—The new dry- dock under construction at Skinner’s Cove here, for the Dominion of Can- ada, will be able to accommodate the CATACOMBS OF PARIS RE-OPEN AFTER WAR| (United Press Staft Correspondent) By Edwin W. Hullinger, | Pari (By Mail)—Unique among | historical show-places in the world and famed for centuries on both con- tinents, the catacombs of *Paris were| recently re-opened to visitors, having been closed six years on account of the war. The celebrated tombs, undisturbed human 'visitation while the world Was busy fighting above, have been a popular drawing point for the big in- flux of American tourists in Paris this summer. Long lines of Yankees form regularly outside the gates thel two afternoons a month the catacombs are open. Forty paces underground, in a labyrinth of corridors are skeletons of three million of Paris dead, neatly piled in rectangular stacks against the walls of the passage-ways or clev- erly arranged in all manner of artis- tic patterns, mosaics, and designs, giving the interior of the death com- partments an atmosphere of the un- canny that would be hard to dupli- cate. Many of the patterns were most elaborate and cleverly drawn. On one wall was a huge spider, its body| formed of skulls, its legs of cross- bones. On others, skulls were group- ed in beautiful crosses, against a { bacskground of r:rossbones. In a miniature chapel, built of {bones, sat a complete skeleton, on a bench made of bones, his lower jaw {dropped in a devil-may-care grin. In another compartment was a hearth, constructed from bones, with a man- telpeice of skulls. The catacombs owe their origin to the necessity of finding stone for the building of Paris. They served as| quarries for years until, in 1784, a governmental decree ordered the “evacuation” of several large public burying grounds which had become overcrowded. The authctities began by removing bodies in tombs where families had failed to keep up the rents—in France most burial plots are rented, not purchased, as in Amer- ica. The practice was repeated from time to time, until the Catacombs be- came the dumping place for all Pari- sian pauper burying grounds. Buying and Szlling Without !Money.

Reporter Was Discharged Because He Had Faith in' Practicabllity of Edison’s Electric Lamp. “Did you ever hear of the New York newspaper reporter who lost his Job, only a few years ago, because he wrote an article for his paper about Edison’s demonstration of his first electric lamp? 'The publisher said he had no place on his paper for a darned fool who would believe you could spirit electricity through a wire that had no hole in it, and fired the report- er unceremoniously. The speaker was a grizzled old elec- trical engineer, who has attained the age when he is Inclined to look back on things as they were and to attempt to understand the forces that have brought about the marvelous changes he has witnessed within his lifetime, “You know,’ “as 1 look back upon the development of electrical engineering, it seems to me that advertising has had more to do with it ‘than any other factor. Elec- trical companies are willing to go al- most any length in the development of new conveniences hecause they have learned not ouly about electric- ity, but have also learned what is more important—how to tell the peo- hout their products, through ad- ing. ppose T have an idea for a new kind of electric lamp, I could afford to spend nearly any amount in per- ecting it, because, within a few weeks er it is ready for the market T can, advertising, get it on the of thousands of merchants, and T can have millions of people ask- ing for it by name.” Life as | See It.
