BUCK JONES in “THE DAWN TRAIL” ——A DANE and ARTHUR in MICKEY McGUIRE COMEDY Iso “LIME JUICE NIGHTS” NEWS CURIOSITIES Sir Hall Caine, Many Books, Writer of W ealthiest of Novelists, Dies in London (Continuux trom Page One) note and appeared in the leading roles of many of his father's dramatic works. The first writings of Sir Hall to attract attention were “Son- s cf Three Centuries” and Recollections of Rossetti, both published in 1882, and followed a year later by “Life of Coleridge” and “Cobwebs of Criticism.” Novels Dramatized For nearly fifty years thereafter he produced novels and plays, many of the latter being drama- tized versions of his books. One of his early successes was “The Deemster,” a story of early life on the Isle of Man. Increased pop- ularity and greater success ate tended the publication of “The Manxman.” These and a few others firmly established the reputation of Sir Hall and laid the foundation for his fortune. He acquired Greeba Castle, one of the finest residences on the Isle of Man and for some years sat in the House of Keys, the Manx parliament. The native Manx population, es- pecially those whose insular pride and prejudice had not swamped by the annual invasion of excursion- ists from the rest of Britain, did not —appreciate the advertising which the island received from Hall Caine’s writings. They were inclined to reproach him for hav- ing portrayed his principal Manx and heroine as a fallen woman, another character as a canting humbug. The islanders, proud of the his- tory and traditions of their birth- place, were annoyed at the liberties which the author took with time and place. In “The Manxman,” for example, he mixed eighteenth- century customs with the para- phernalia of the modern excur- cionist from Lancashire in a most happy-go-lucky manner. Others of Sir Hall's better known works include “The Christian,” “The Eternal City,” “The Prodical Son,” “The Woman Thou Gavest Me,” “The Bondman” ‘‘The Scapegoat,” “The White Prophet, and “The Master of Men.” \ Stories Filmed He wrote ‘Darby and Jogn’ as an original film story and’ in addition *“The Christlan,” “The Manxman” and “The Prodigal Son” were filmed in Great Britain, while “The Eternal City” “The Deemster,” “The Christian,” SERVICE MOTOR CO. “Jim” and “Marvan” ‘ { THIRD and MAIN STS. “Tomorrow's Styles Todas” The Last Word SKIRTS BLOUSES Fashion decrees skirts and blouses for Fall.

In recognition cof his services as editor of the war book of Al- "bc;’:‘ King of the Belgians, Sir |Hall was made an officer of the Order of Leopold. He was created a knight in the 1918 birthday list of honors of King George for his efforts to present the British as- pect of the war to American readers. During the war he devoted him- self almost exclusively to British propaganda in the United States, writing many articles which were published in a syndicate of news- papers. He also prepared, at the request of the British government, the scenario of the official na- tional war film. Is Given Honor ‘When David Lloyd George re- tired as premier he included Sir Hall in his final list of honors, citing him for membership in the order of the Companions of Honor in recognition of his services in literature. Sir Hall visited States several times and on one occasion went to Canada as am- bassador of the British Author's League to negotiate terms with the Dominion government relative to Canadian copyright. | Hall Caine embodied that rather |rare combination—the man of let- ters and the man of business. He knew how to drive a bargain with 'a publisher, a film producer or a theatrical enterpreneur. He had an excellent idea of arousing con- | troversles likely to bring his works !into more prominence. His ex- Ecursions in this direction at one time earned him the nickname of “The Boomster.” He had a lively quarrel with the | booksellers at the time of the | publication of “The Woman Thou Gavest Me,” and the booksellers for a time refused to stock the work. Punch declared the book ought to be renamed “The Woman Thou Wouldst Not Give Me.” the United | In personal appearance Caine was rather striking—and he made the most of it.

The wallz, dainty, graceful poet- ry of motion associated with Vien- na and the moonlight has come back into its own and is all the rage in London's dance places.

The popular partner at London's balls nowadays, is the middle-aged | man who learned to waltz back in the days when gentlemen carried handkerchiefs in their right hands while dancing, so as not to soil a lady's gown. The two most popular bits of music these days are the Blue Danube and the Merry Widow waltz, a close second. There are two kinds of waltzing | —the rapid whirling waltz found on the continent, a beautiful dance when evecuted perfectly, ‘and the Jess spectacular slow rhythmic step seen more frequently in America.

We sell these expelled irritants to manufacturers of chemical com- pounds, who use them as a base in making sheep-dip*, as well as a powerful spraying solution for trees, flowers and shrubs— enough to permit the daily dipping of over 50,000 sheep or the daily spraying of many thousands of trees.
