Her acting in the scene in: the first part of “Open Your Eyes” when the mother takes her 16-year- old daughter into her confidence and enlightens her concerning the all-im- portant facts of life, contributes greatly to the appeal of this scene,| which is one of the sweetest and most judiciously hidndled in tye picture. Movie fans will recollect Miss Binney in “The Wonder Man,” “A Man’s Home,” “The Girl From Porcupine,” and others. One of her big hits was; as the Rebel maiden in the Civil war episode of Maurice Tourneur’s pic- ture, “Woman’ who sold the life of a Union soldier fleeing from the Con- federates for a pretty bauble dazzled | before her eyes by the commander of the searching party. Miss Binney is a California girl. She is an expert horsewoman and very fond of the sport, although she does not get an opportunity to ride in “Open Your Eyes.” PLAY WITHIN PLAY FOR GARETH HUGHES A barnstorming performance of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” is one of the featured of “Little Eva Ascends,” George D. Baker’s production for S-L (Arthur Sawyer and Herbert Lubin) starring Gareth Hughes, showing at thq Grand theater tonight and Fri- day. The picture is based on Tho- mas Beer’s Saturday Evening Po:t story of the same title and recounts #he jadventures of a typical groad show company of a generation ago. A small town theater that might have been reproduced from any town of 10,000 population in the country a few years ago was rebuilt on oune of Metro’s enclosed stageg at Holly- wood for this picture within a pictu.e Bloodhounds, stage ice floes, and the typical painted heavenly background of the old drama found their way into | the picture.

The production is a new type of home picture, because it differs radi- cally from the class of pictures that have dealt with the home and its problems in the past. There is noth- ing theatrical about its characters but, instead, a conscientious effort has been made to present every-day human beings and the problems that may result when a husband and wife begin to drift apart. Critics are. unanimous in praise of “A Man’s Home” one .declared it “The Perfect' Pjcture.” CLUB HAS BUT FOUR MEMBERS Most Exclusive Organization in the World Is in Order of Knights of Columbus, The most exchusive club in the world | consists of only four members. They are Marshal Foch, Cardinal Mercier, King Albert of Belgium and the duke of Veragua. The first three need no explanation, and the fourth member of the club shouldn’t, for the dike de Yeragua of { | scendant. of Christopher Columbus. The four celebritics are the only European members of the Knights of Columbus, each having been made hon- orary members of the organization on The duke de Veragun was made a member of the K. of C. more than twenty years ago, when he visited | America for the Columbian exposition, held in honor of his ancestor’s discov- ery of America. ¥e was the first hon- orary member of the K. of C. Cardinal Mercler and King Albert were made knights fn 1920 and Mar- shal I'och, the latest honorary member of the K. of C., was made a knight in Chicago when he visited that city on his American visit. Incidentally Marshal Foch is the millionth man to have the honors of Columbian knighthood conferred on him, as the present membership is 800,000 and losses through death and other eauses In the history of the K. of C. amount te approximately 200,000, Several classes to be initiated were postponed to give Marshal Foch the millionth position.

Bill Dale emptied the agazine of his repeater, and . sank bebind the big chestnut to fill | 1t again with cartridges from his belt. i Bullets now whined on both sides of him; they cut greenigh white furrows in the bark of both sides of the tree, and knodked up little spurts of black earth to his right and to his lefty they cut off twigs within an arm’s reach of him. A dozen Balls were now firing at him, seeking to avenge the death of their kinsman, the! Goliath. John Morcland's strong voice | came to him through the din and roar: | “Dog’t show no part o’ yoreself now, Bill; ef'ye do, ye'll shore be hit!” Dale tired again, pumped a fresh cartridge into the chamber of his rifle and slipped another into tle magazine, and arose behind the chestnut. “Down, Bill!” crled John Moreland. If Dale heard, he gave no sign of it. He fired four shots rapidly, and before the wind had carried away the blinding smoke he was behind another tree and shooting toward the Balls again. Soon there came a short, loud | peal of laughter from his left; he turned his head and saw Ben Little- ford taking a careful aim at a long angle toward the side of a boulder. | Then Littleford fired, and a puft of stone dust showed that his bullet had gone true to its mark. “What's that for?” demanded Dale. “We haven't any ammunition to throw away!” & ) “Why, Bill,” replied Littleford, “didn’t ye never bounce a bullet offen & rock and make it go toward a man ahind of a tree?” Tt lasted hotly for two hours, but the casualties were comparatively few, because there was so much cover available, I'rom .the beginning the Balls and the Turvers had the \worst of it, which w due to uphill shoot- ing, white whisky, and lack of the iron that makes real fighting men. The cartridges of those below were giving out; they had fired too mauvy shots needlessly. “It's about time to rush them,” Dale said to John Moreland, who had crept up beside him, “Jest give nodded. A few minutes Iater. Bill Dale sent the wings of his line down the moun- tainside, forming a half-circle of his force once more; then the whole line rushed, surrounded the enemy and called for a surrender. But the Balls and thelr, kinsmen wouldn't give i yet. They left their cover and started to run, found them- selves facing Morelands and Little- fords in every direction, clubbed their ritles and fought. It was mnot true cournge that prompted them to offer resistance thus: it was utter despera- tion; they had never been givers of mercey, therefore they did not expect wercy. ' Dale’s men forebore to fire upon them, which was at Dale’s com- mand, and met them with clubbed rifles. The woodland rang with the sound of wood and steel crashing st wood and steel. Fverywhere were groans afid threats and s from the losing side, victorious cries and further demands for a sur- render from the winner Bill Dale, ever a lover of fair com- ) bat, threw down his repeater to grap- ple with a big North Carolinian whose clubbed weapon had been knocked from his haunds. The two fell and rolled down the mountainside, locked in each other's arms. And then one of the Balls struck Bill Dale across the head with the butt of his empty gun, and Bill Dale slack- ened his arms and lay as one dead. . ® * - .

Loulsa Smith's first encounter with WHlliam Frederick - Cody, later. and more popularly’ known as “Buffalo Bill,” was exceedingly informal. Cody had been brought to the Swith home by a mutual friend and before he had even been introduced was the ‘aston- tshed reciplent of a vesolute slap on the mouth from Louisa, a punishment ‘which soon grew into love. Their mar- riage took place shortly after and their life together ;was extremely, happy. Mrs. Cody proved an ideal wife for “Buffalo Bill.” * She was with him on a great maay of his trips and enjoyed them as much as he did hiwself. 'Tn- trepid and daring, there was no. ex pedition which appeared too dangerous for her to go on. Mrs, Cody outlived her husband, as well as all of her children, and the Iatter part of her life, spent in re- tirement in the West, was lived in a dream world, populated by her loved ones, Iceland in History. , A visitor to Iceland has described the view from the plateaun overlooking the plain of Thingveillir, where the parliament of the commonwealth was held. He speaks of magnificent gorges, rivers, waterfalls, of a lake of sap- phire set within a circle of cmeralil hills and snow-capped wountains, al- together a plcture of enchanting - ty. The magnificence of its historicnl aud literary traditions have cnriched the ages, and some of their Icelandic translations are now heing adopted by other nations. The spoken language of today differs so little from that of the Twelfth century that the Sagas of that time continue to be, fu_the original text, the daily reading of all classes. The remarkable revival of art and literature and general prosperity has come from the reawakening of the .national spirit early in the Nine- teenth century, Bavaria will probably not enact the anti-gluttony law that has been pro- posed, but the very proposal Is inter- esting, says Youths’ Companion. Ac- cording to the provisions of the bill anyone found guilty of schlemmerei. which mean gross and luxurious feed- ing, is to be imprisoned and fined 100,- 000 marks. For a second offense the fine might be doubled and the prison term Increased to five years. Foreign- ers found guilty are to be deported. The law seems to have been proposed in disgust at the ostentation and greed of the post-war profiteer and speculat- or. The type is an unpleasant one anywhere, and, if the laments of the Germans are sincere, it is especially nauseous just noew in Germany. The burezu of education estimates that $15,000,000 .was spent “in .this country last year carrying-pupils.to school in free conveyances, and that represents a considerable advance upon the period when attendance’ was se- cured merely by thrashing the run- aways.
