SOVIET ARMY CAST | FOR LEADING ROLE IN MOVIE SERIES MOSCOW, May 11.—Soviet Rus- |sia’s red army of 600,000 well-fed ‘and well-clothed fighters is to be- |come a part of moving picture ro- | mance. | The films, of course, will contain a certain amount of communistic propaganda. i Vsevolod Pudovkin, leading com- munist movie' director, who has ‘msde such pictures as “Storm Over Asia,” “Mother” and “The End of | St. Petersburg,” now is preparing |for production a series of photo- plays based on the communist com- bat troops. “The Red Army is a source of much film material,” said Pudov- kin. “There is all sorts of drama in this organization. I intend to make a seriés of five or six dramas each of some nine or ten thousand feet in length. Will there ke any propaganda in these films? Well, of course, all our pictures, to' a certain extent, expound the com- munist ideology.” The new Pudovkin series will not be of the talkie type. They will have sound effects, however. Pudoy- kin is not against the “talkies,” but he believes that for universal ap- peal the “silents” will continue. Pudovkin has mnever been to America, but he hopes some day to achieve this adventure, although he has no especial urge for Holly- ‘wood. —_——a——— AT HOTELS . > Gasiinean L. C. Lemieux, Petersburg; B.

The instrument has been design- ed by Prof. A. C.' Hardy, head of the department of Zzoology and oceanography in the University College of Hull. It will make a continuous collection of the mic- roscopic life, if any, in the waters as the submarine voyages under the ice. It is a matter of great scientific interest to know if this microscopic drifting life, the plankton, as it is called, which is present in various quantities in all the seas of the world, is to be found in the waters below the ice at the North Pole. ‘The organism wiil be caught in 2 continuously moving band of fine mesh silk netting and carried into a preservation chamber, the mecha- nism being driven by a propeller in the water. The machine will be attached to the hull of the submarine below the bows and reloaded with fresh silk rolls from time to time through a pressure chamber. The instrument will undergo its tests in the North Sea before being fitted to the submarine. — Mrs. A. M. Guyot left on the Yu- kon for a visit in the states. Mr. and Mrs. C. E.

Besides three, her company consists of Mr. and Mrs. Geotge Vaughn, Fred Edsall and Charles A. O'Dsnohue, all of New York City. Leisurely Cruise North The vessel left Seattle early this Imcmh and proceeded to Vancouver, B. C, where she was boarded by her party of four Easterners. She cruised north in leisurely fashion, making brief stops at Ketchikan, ‘Wrangell and Petersburg, and an- {choring on occasion in quiet waters (to permit her passengers to fish. The largest catch was a 45-pound salmon by Mr. Vaughn. The craft is scheduled to be at |Prince Rupert, B. C., May 28. There {the pleasure party will disembark and entrain for the Atlantic Coast. Surpasses Europe’s Grandeurs “We are having a most delightful jcruise,” declared Mr. Donohue, who with Mr. Edsell is retired from ac- tive business. Mountains and water- ways in this part of Alaska remind me of similar scenes in Norway, but these Alaskan grandeurs surpass anything of the sort in Europe.” The Nooya is owned by Camp- bell and Church of Seattle, who have a fleet of pleasure yachts and who make a business of chartering them. Built in 1910, she is 68.3 feet long, 14.3 feet wide and 5.6 feet jdeep. She is equipped with a 140 horsepower gasoline engine. Her ap- peintments are elegant and com- fortable. IPOWER OF X-RAYS TO MAKE POISONS DEADLIER STUDIED CINCINNATI, May 18—A mys- tery of X-rays—why they make (some poisons more poisonous—is partly cleared by recent experi- nati.

ACTOR REPLIES, YOUTH Robert Ames and Ann Harding Have Leading Roles at Coliseum ‘What is the holiday time of life? The calm era of advanced years when one's battle for success has ended, or the zestful time of youth, with its greater capacity for enjoy- ment? Philip Barry, playwright, declares himself in favor of the early years | of manhood or womanhood, when | one’s mind is keenly tuned to re- ceive the most from every impres- sion, Time for Meditation A holiday, then, declares Barry, is not only a time of play, but an opportunity for meditation and ob- servance which will enable the in- dividual to become acquainted with himself and to determine how to utilize his future to the greatest possible advantage. It was to point this theory that Barry wrote “Holi- day,” the stage success of last sea- son. Edward H. Griffith, director of “Holiday,” & Pathe plcture showing at the Coliseum theatre, agrees with Barry. Director Acquiesces “I believe, with Barry, that holi- day time in youth is really an ef- ford to find oneself and learn what one wants most to do for the re- mainder of his lifetime,” declares Griffith. Robertt Ames plays the leading male role in this revolutionaty ver- sion of “Holiday,” which features Ann Harding in the leading femi- | nine role. Othérs in the cast are Mary Astor, Edward Everett Hor- ton, Hedda Hopper, Hallam Cooley, Monroe Owsley, Willlam Holden, ‘Cheighton Hale and Mabel Forrest. fonization, and this alteration of shape appears to be the extra poi- sonous element. Investigation both of the fast flying electron particle and of the! induced ultraviolet light indicates that neither can account for the in- crease in lethal power from the X-rays. This work is conducted by Rob- ert J. Norris in the Basic Science Research Laboratory. He finds that X-rays increase the polsonous ef- fect of sodium bromide and of sodium chloride 25 per cent each. e Quartz and placer location no- tices at The Empire. ———————— Old Papers ai The Emplre.
