However, it would appear that those responsible. for this particular production had given up hope of ever finding ‘a suitable solution to this problem in' the center of civilization, since they have chosen their lzcale of the story an outpost viliage in the Far North. Characters in the story .re played by Roy Stewart and Louise Lovely. who are co-starred. The latter nlays the newly acquired wife of the vil- lage‘s most prominent eitizen, while the former is a courageous member of the Royal Northwest Mounted po- lice, in love with the brides’ step- daughter. Superb backgrdunds make this pro- duction, ' scenically, one of the out- standing pictures oi the year. It was directed by Harry Revier and was photographed in the country in which it is supposed to occur. “THE HALF BREED” AT REX TONIGHT AND WgDNESDAY Following the decision of Oliver Morosco, for years' a leading stage ture field,, speculation has been rife as to what he would bring to the screen.

There in the shade was the box that had served us table, once so prettily strewn with violets. In spite of his vow of vengeance and his .hatred of Stepho, these things caught at Drace's heart, shook his fixed purpose of actlon. Forsmany minutes he waited—no sign of Stepho, of anyone. And then his blood leaped; for soft hands suddenly blinded him from behind, soft laughter bubbled over at his astonishment. And dark thoughts. and dark purposes fled on the wind as he caught Nadine and hugged her close. ““Now for your punishment!” _he kissed her. *“Oh, you must not again . . .

Miss May, herself, has a role for which she is ideally suited—that of a demure country girl who comes to New York seeking a career. First she is used »s a sort of a maid and companion but then fate picks her up and by a singular turn carries ‘her into a realm of happiness of which she never dreamed. “The Un- derstudy” is a fast moving comedy tinged with delightful romance and just the barest touch of drama. A corking cast supports the little ster, embracing su¢h prominent play- ers as: Otis Harlan, Wallace Mc Don- ald, Christine Mayo, Adele Farring- ton and Arthur Hoyt. Contemporary Corrected.

J unior Red Cross Praised for Work Influencing Peace The advancing standard of the Jun- for American Red Cross made two out- standing. gains during the last year— one in- the: field of domestic :activity, which is-rapidly linking up the schools with the Junlor program, the other a gain of a dozen countries in Europe pledged to organize Juniors on the lines of theé American organization. For. this gccomplishment the American Juniors earned the hearty endorse- ment of the League of Red Cross So- cieties for its “creation of an inter- national ~spirit of human solidarity among young people with a view to preparntlon of a new civilization for peace.” The forthcoming annual report of the American Red Cross for the year ended June 30, 1922, will show 24,52 schools enrolled, with a total of 4,483, 845 pupils wearing the “I Serve” but- ton of the American Junior Red Cross. —the badge of unselfish service earn- ed by each individual member through personal sacrifice. In international school correspond- enwe 736 ciasses and schools engaged in friendly communication with 623 schools in European countries, 90 schools in United States territories, 13 in South Africa and 10 in a miscel- laneous list of foreign countries. The work in- foreign fields in establishing playgrounds, school libraries, sewinz and manual training classes, homes for war orphans, school reconstruc- tion in devastated areas, encouraging community gardens and many other activities was financed through the National Children's Fund raised by the Juniors at a cost of $338.237.40. During the year $56,922.79 was con- tributed toward the fund, in which on July 1 there was a balance of $201,- 361.58. VENT OF VOLCANO IN CITY Authorities of Edinburgh, 8cotiand, Somewhat Stirred Up by Unlooked for Discovery. The back yard of the temement of 89 St. Leonards hill, Edinburgh, ad- jacent to the king's park, has sud- derly becoite a center of interest to geologists through the discovery, by Cuthbert Day, secretary of the Edin- burgh Geological soclety, of a volcanic vent. The place already has been visited by geologists from Norway and America, and has furnished material for some animated discussions. The visitor walking through the “close” to the common drying green (l. e, common to all tenants, and not necessarily grassy) is confronted with the jagged, almost perpendicular, face of a small quarry, long in disuse. On this face is exposed a basalt sill, just where the once molten igneous rock was brecciated by explosion in bygone ages, and has given rise to a parasitic volcanic vent, mainly choked by ba- saltic debris. It can be seen clearly where the local explosion, with its concomitant escape of hot volcanic gases, notably cooled the adjacent por- tions of the basalt sill. E. B. Bailey, M. A, F. G. S, of his majesty’s geological survey, ex- pounded recently his interpretation of the phenomenon to the Edinburgh Ge- ological soclety. His conclusions will be published in the transactions of the soclety.,—Christian Science Mou-, itor, Green, Dye From Corn Cobs. Science has found a way of utiliz- ing all corn cobs, short or long, in the manufacture ot various chemicals. As the corn. cob. consists of celiulose, which is yaluable for the making of many products, such as celluloid and paper, it is considered desirable to save the substance of the cob. The turfural, therefore, is taken from the extract which is obtained by boiling the cob in water and the cellulose can thus be kept for other purposes. This liquid 18 employed for many purposes. in industrial chemistry. and can be so treated that it will yield a bright green dye, which is much liked by wonien of fashipn, says the Detroit News. PLAYED WITH NATURAL GASI Earliest Settlers Could Not Understand Wonderful Part_ It Was to Play in Civilization. Natural gas first was used for il- luminating purposes in Fredonia, N. Y., early in the Nineteenth century.' Indians formerly inhabiting the rezion had legends of burning springs in Can- adaway creek, a little stream running through the town. Children of the early white settlers amused themselves by setting large onion stalks over fis- sures in the slate rock at the bed of the stream, packing them around with sand, and lighting the gas which emerged from the top. The first gas well, tapping a pocket | 200 feet below the surface, was drilled in 1826, the year Lafayette made his | last triumphal tour of America. A ‘k-ad pipe was laid on the top of the Zround to pipe the fluid to the tavern | where he was entertained when he passed through the town on his way from the West. Lafgyette commented on the new light in his journal, still preserved in Paris. Why “The Innocents” Succeeded. “How easy it is now to understand the prodigious success of “The Inno- cents Abroad,” appearing as it did pre- i cisely at the psychological moment .at the close of the Civil war, at the open- ing of the epoch of ingustrial ploneer- ing, in the hour when the life of busi- ness had become obligatery upon every American man! How easy itsto un- derstand why it was so generally used as a guidebook’by Americans traveling in Europe. It attacked not only the il- legitimate pretensions of the human spirit but the legitimate pretensions also. It expressly made the Américan business man as good as Titan and a little better; it made him feel that art | and history and all the great, elevated, | admirable, ‘painful discoveries of hu- mankind were things not worth wast- ing ope’s emotions over.—Exchange.
