Heading the cast are such noted players as Betty Compson, Bert Lytell, recently a star in his own right, ' Theodore Roberts and Theo- dore Kosloff. Ouida Bergere adapted Mary Johnson’s novel, dealing with events in the early colonial days of Vir- ginia, in the reign of King James I, a weak and vacillating monarch. The role of Jocelyn, his ward, is played by Miss Compson, and Mr. Lytell is Captain Ralph Percy, a brave and resourceful young soldier., Lord Carnal, the petted favorite of the king, with 2 black heart and a hand- some exterior, is playeg by Mr. Kos- loff. - e 4 “EAST'IS WEST” MAKING BIG RUN AT THE GRAND Never has Constance 'Talmadge been seen to such advantage as in “East Is West” the First National 7 Attraction which ~yesterday opened its engagement at tre Grand theatre where it will be shown again today and Tuesday. d This may seem a broad statement but it is more than justified by Miss Talmadge’s interpretation of the role, of Ming Toy. Due credit must go to Joseph M. Scheénck, who plunged on this proposition to the extent of buying one o fthe biggest stage suc- cesses pf recent years at an enorm- ous costefor the one star best suited to portray the leading role. Miss Talmadge is utterly delight- ful in the role of Ming Toy, the quaint and adorable. She lends a charm all her own to the many scenes of the delicious comedy. Most conspicuous in her support is Warner’ Oland, famous villian of the screen, as.Charley Young, the Americanized Chinaman who covets Ming Toy, whose love is given to played by Edward Burns. Others in the cast are Nigel Barry, Winter Hall,E. A. Warren, Frank Lanning, Nick DeRuiz, Lillian Lawrence—-and Jim Wangt Sidney Franklin dirécted: the< production.

Me—or your lover?” husband gave his wife her choice. She hated her husband, and she had already found her lover wanting in courage—wanting in fact, in all the virtues her love had endowed him’ with. -But obstinately she chose her lover—there gn-that “Isle of Doubt” wher two men and a woman tried to make a straight, true line out of an eternal triangle. The Elko theatre presents Tuesday and Wednesday “The Isle of .Doubt”, a Playgoers feature, starring Wyndham Stand- ing in the role' of the husband. It is a story of romance and adventure told against a background of high society and a picturesque and prim- itive tropical isle.

Describing a tour through California in 'Harper's Magazine, Arthur Ruhl writes: & “Everywhere yon go, of course, you run into our new motor gypsies. The dusty car, with father and mother, in the same style khaki breeches and O. D. shirt, on the front seat; bareheaded youngsters of all ages in the rear; the family dog squeezed on the running board or into some astonishing corner behind the lamps, and all about, tents, | washtubs, and possibly a canoe or two ~—this is today’s prairie schooner. “Sometimes—as in southern Califor- nia, for instance, where there has been : plenty of building and work for casual masons and carpenters—these motor pilgrimages suggest a considerable shifting of the industrial population. ' But wherever wild country, and trout, and possibly bear or‘deer; are within easy motoring distance, nearly every- body falls into the habit of loading up the old bus and starting out for any- thing from a few days to a few months. Practically every town -along the main highways has its municipal camping ground—in Colorado Springs one morn- ing I thought a movie company must be ‘on location’ in the neighborhood, so exotic seemed the number of young women in riding breeches, sombreros and flanpel shirts with bandanna neck- erchiefs, but was told by an unim- pressed native that they were ‘only tourists,’” BIRD SONGS ON THE PIANO Interesting Experiments Conducted by Eastern Woman Give Rise to Im- mengse Possibilities. Bird songs may become basic themes for more music than folk songs. This Is the prediction of Mrs. H. H. A. Beach, a composer who hag been;mak- igg: experiments along this dine - at ‘Péterborough, N. H. ~Mrs. ‘Beach’s €xplanation of her theory and her ex- periments: is unique and interesting. “My studio at Peterborough was surrduided on three sides by beautifal birch trees, the front facing a wide view, of the valley and mountains. In the deep woods mearby” the hermis thrushes sang all day long, so closé to me that I could notate their songs and even amuse myself by imitating them on the plano and having them answer. The songs were so very lovely and so consonant with our scales that I ‘could weave them into plano pieces as easily as I could have used folk songs. It was a labor of love, indeed, and I only hope that I have succeeded in giv- exquisite rhythm and melodic beauty.” If bird song can be incorporated successfully into piano music thus, there is an infinite field of beauty and variety from which the themes may be drawn. It Is to be hoped that Mrs, Beach and her fellow-artists will go on ; By Allman with thelr work. -Jazz Will never ei-t tirely rule the musical universe while this sort of delicate artistry Is being carried on—From the Brockton (Mass.) Times. Die-Cast Wood Horns. The demand for loud speakers has brought about the development of all kinds of horns, some of metals, others of fiber, and still others of pressed wood. It is the last-mentioned type with which we are momentarily inter- ested. These are made of selected wood which is reduced to its original fiber and_cast in steel dies under. a pressure of 12 tons and subjected to 800 degrees of heat. This is claimed to form an artificial wood many times denser than natural wood. Its acous- tic prqpe{iies are remarkable. The vibrations received through the phone at the base of the hora are amplified by the rich, resonant vibrations of the material itself. The metalllc sound ‘which is so annoying in many types of loud speakers equipped with metal horns is sajd to be entirely eliminated. —Sclentific American. PARROT WON OUT IN END Bird's Profanity Too Much for Bud- ding Prima Donna Who Dlsturbed the Late Sleeper. For the past two months a resident of a rather fashionable house has been | annoyed, during the early morning i hours, by the vocal efforts of a young woman who imagioes that she is a second Galli-Curcl. Inasmuch as the one of the male persuasion works un- til the early hours of morn he desires to sleep durlng the early morning pe- riod, but the endeavor of the maid to reach the high notes precludes any pos- sibllity of a continuous slumber. A request that, vocal practice be not iln- Iy dulged in until after ten in the morn- ing brought only an Indignant snife: from the high C seeker. Last ‘w_gek] {lie man In question Went over to Bal timore and purchased a parrof, oné that gave the impression that it had been badly moth eaten; it, however, possessed a vocabulary of profanity that was impelling, to say the least. He installed the bird in his room and taught It to cut loose on its line of lingo whenever the aspirant for oper- atic honors began her morning bar- rage. For a week it wasa toss-up be- tween the parrot and the malden, the latter capitulated a day or so ago.
