The spirituals, melodies and the other darky songs so characteristic ¢f the South will be heard for the| first time by picture audiences and in the finest negro voices obtain- able. Among the songs are sev- ¢ral of the Plorenz Ziegfeld hits, including “Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man" and “Old Man River” that @rove Broadway into shouts of en- thusiasm in witnessing the stage production.

The origin of birthstones is in- separably linked with astrology, dating back to the time of the ancient Chaldean priest-astrologers, who discovered the twelve constel- lations of the zodiac as well as the first planets, thereby laying the foundations of the science of ast- ronomy. It was the theory of these early priests that there were sympathetic vibrations between dif- includ- der the same zodiacal sign or plane- tary influence. In the case of gems, each was peculiarly sensitive to the vibrations emanating from its controlling planet, and hence the wearing of the appropriate todlacal gem strengthened most beneficently the contact between the w r and his star of destiny. It s easy to see how the gagnet, gem of friendship, as indicated by the above ancient rhyme, was thosen as the talisman for persons jjorn under Aquarius, which in as- trology 1s known as the House of Friends. It has been credited with the power to bring them grace and victory, to provide inspiration when' they need it, and otherwise to stim- ulate the Aquarian temperament | which, in spite of its humanitar- lan aspects, is inclined to be rath- er cold and dispassionate—less in- terested in human beings than in the idea of humanity. BN The symbol of Aquarius is that\ of a man pouring water from an | urn, which is considered indicative | of the tendency of people born un-. | der this sign to give all they can to | the world. This tendency, which | in undeveloped types leads to in- | discriminate giving, in the more advanced types takes the form of' imparting knowledge or of aiding and abetting movements for the benefit of mankind, | Both Washington and Lincoln are good examples of the Aquarian type, and among our contemporar-: tes there are such well-known flg- ures as Colonel Lindbergh, Thom- as Edison, Otto Kahn and John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Probably no man of this century has made more im- portant gifts to the world than Ed- ison, while, of our financlers, the | two mentioned are outstanding for their projects benefiting mankind in general rather than individuals. This cool, impersonal viewpoint |cC of the Aquarian, while giving himn calm judgement and the most tem- pered common sense, i3 also apt to | be his greatest defect, for there are sudden emergencies in life when deliberation is anything but | an asset. Washington, deliberat- | ing as to whether or not it would ! | be wise to abandon New York to ||l Lord Howe, wasted preclous days | and finally got his army out only | by the greatest good luck. History ||, does not mention if Washington |conceived the humorous plot of Col-| {leen Moore’s newest picture, * |thetic Sin,” whieh opens Thursday | |at the Palace Theatre. ! Frederick and Fanny Hatton, rec- | |ognized among the outstanding { | playwrights of the day, created mc‘ : original story from which Tom » & Geraghty prepared the scenario. | William A. Seiter directed “Syn- thetic Sin,” with a supporting cast made up of Antonio Moreno, Mon- tagu Love, Gertrude Astor, Edythe Chapman and Kathryn McCuire. | A new serial will also start tomor- |row, entitled “The Ace of Scotland (Yard.” It is a ten-chapter screen {thriller, with Craufurd Kent play- iing the role of the great crime detector. It is the first photo- serial to be made with sound and dialogue. The thrills and suspense !ing man. are immeasurably sound. heightened by " DOLORES IN LATEST PICTURE Dolores Costello, charming War- ner Brother: , has a new lead In “Madonna of Avenue her latest production at the ©oliscum Sunday, the male role oppesite the fair Dolores is played hy Grant Withers, who has climbed the ladder of film fame from the lowly status of an extre, to a much-coveted engagement as leading man for one of the most pepular Juminaries of the screen world. principal | So wore a garnet, but certainly his planetary vibrations were at their | best when the British paused for tea along the East River and |, permitted even the trapped Gen- | eral Putnam to escape. { Garnets come ! In several differ- ent colors, de- pending upon the amount of iron or manganese or chremium in their composition — In varlous shades of red, yellowish- greens, yellows, browns, black, and, rarely, in | clear emerald green, but the dark red variety, formerly known as carbuncle, is the garnet con- sidered most for- tunate for the Aquarian type. ni | ¢ |a AKEE COUPLE WED | dg Sam C.
