A great many of these were cne and two el pictures, made In those early days of the motion picture when the Keystone cops were in their heyday. Semon became an actor quita ac- cidentally. He intended to work as a director of comedy, but because he could not find the trpe he need- ed for a picture, he acted in it hii self, From that time cn he has never stopped. Hoe has, acted ir pictures, directed them, and written’ the stories ever since. “The Girl in the Limousine” is the comedian’s ‘first venture into the field of feature pictures. The production is an adaption of a suc- P cessful Broadway stage farce writ- ten by Avery Hopwood and Wilson Collett and produced by Al Woods. It is described as a rapidly-moving, thrilling and uproriows farce comedy. ———>—_—_—_— WILLIAM V. MONG HAD BIG STAGE EXPERIENCE William V. Mong, who plays the role of the father in “Wandering Daughters,” closing at the Iris to- day, the initial James Young pro- duction of First National—a charac- terization which is one of the most humanely sympathetic in its appeal in screen history—was a noted stage actor, but he did not make his flim debut as a playe Instead he created the first sce- narlo department in the motion pic- ture industry. Having starred in his own plays for years on the speaking stage, it was extremely fitting that thé play- wright-actor should be awarded the honor by athe old Selig Polyscope Company in Chicago more than four- teen years ago. Mong’s outstan: ing stage success, “The Claybaker, was one of the first plays to be made into a motion picture, Today he is doing it over in script form, and it is scheduled for a 1923 release with Mong in the title role. The actor could not long be chained to a desk, however, and he alternated as a director and feature player in those early days. “HIRAM? 15 DRAWING CROWGS 10 COLUMBIA “Hiram” which ‘iw the new musi- cal comedy at the Columbia theater has been playing to good crowds.

But this story, unlike Mr. Ponzl’'s promises is based on fact. And it mugt not be held up, despite the fact that it will make Ponzi—and his dupes—green with’ envy. Thousands of Americans and Canadians, who had more faith in the ultimate recovery .of Germany than Germany had herself, today are cashing in, at the rate of $1,400 per million marks, on imperial German government war loans, which they purchased as low as $3 per million. That's just 46,566 per cent profit~ figure it out for yourself. William Franz, of the bond depart- ment of Robert C, Mayer and com pany, Broadway. bankers and deab ers in foreign exchange, today estb mated the total face value of such bonds held in the United States and Canada ‘roughly at five billion marks. The figures, he said, might run as high as 10 billion. These “‘sctaps of paper” then, are worth somewhere between $7,000,006 and $14,000,000. Not all the holders of the bonds bought them as low as $3 per million marks. They have sold as high as $5,000 per million. But relatively few were bought in at that price. At least 75 per cent of the outstand. ing supply, Mr. Franz estimated, were bought at $6 and $3, the low price reached last September and October, when the world became con- vinced that Germany, as a nation, was destined for the scrap heap. Today Germany is clamoring to get them back. 1¢ is rumored that the German government itself is in the market for them, though this has not been confirmed. It is cer- tain however, that somebody in Ger- many wants them and wants them bad. The history of the old German government bonds parallels that of German paper marks and Russian rubles—save that it now appears to have a happy ending for the specula- tors who took a long flyer in them. Real buying of these issues started in the United States and Canada in 1921. At first, they brought as much as $5,00 per million. By degrees the Price slumped to $1,000. Finally, a year ago, when it ap- peared that Germany must either be broken up into separate states or swallowed up in Bolshevism, the hottom dropped out of the market for the bonds. The toboggan took them all the way to $3. ‘The recovery began with first in- dications of the possible success of the Dawes committee id resultant loan to Germany. German citizens figured that before the government could get a loan it would have to take up the old bonds at some figure just as German industrial concerns, seking capital, valorized their old loans at 15 per cent of their paper mark value. By March, the old government bonds had climbed pain. fully back to $50 a million marks. A week ago the price was $100.

Ocean currents carry the warm water from tropical regions, to cold regions, while, by pressure, counter currents of cold water flow down to restore the balance. The winds passing over the water and on to the land are influenced by the water's temperature to be cold or hot. “The ocean water has been unus. ually cold this year and we had a late spring.” Mr. Brown laughs at the _often — Come on Folk— Here your chance to laugh, chuckle and thrill!

And so weather may be forecasted three years ahead from the time the when the ocean currents will have entirely resvionded, Here are nis predictions, based on those observations: August will swing toward hot, dry weather, from the Missouri valley eastward to the Atlantic, with severe droughts in many regions, relieved by thunder storms, many heat.rec- ords will be broken but there will be brief cold spells in both August and September, August's period of chill is due about the 2ist along the northern -border states.
