Jackiesina Photoplay. During the filming in- Venice of “Carnival” a group of American sailors from the Mediterraneaii fleet played an important part in the photographing of some of the big might scenes of the production. As Director Knowles was about to make first camera “shot” 100k - ing up the Grand canal toward the Cathedral of St. Marks. a United States Navy tender steamed into the range of the camera. It was loaded with American sailor boys. A few days later. Director Knowles met the commander of the Mediterranean flag- ship, who gave the director permis- gion’ to use a big detachment of Jackies to appear in a fleet of gon- dolas at the proper moment, shoot- ing off fireworks from every side. The scene is one of the most spec- tacular in the whole production of “Carnival . Novelty in the Movies. _ Tom Moore, owner of the Rialto and Garden Theaters, beginning today and continuing throughout the week of- fers patrons one of the most decided novelties discovered in the film world in manymonths, “Tony Sarg's Al- manac."” - This addition to the short subject class of the “movie” family Is in the nature of a cartoon, only, ingtead of the usual hand-drawn figure: ettes in the shape of men and animals perform in silhouette upon the screen. The result is highly afusing. as the marionettes can be made to contort themselves in amanner impossible for any human being to do, and these movements are mad® so quickly that no ordinary cartoon could possibly give the number of scenes that Mr. Sarg's product allows. in the same length of film. . Many residents of this city will re- call Tony Sarg's marionette act in vaudeville. Its pppularigy led some of the leading film producer® to approach Mr. Sarg to see if he could not adapt his act to pictures. At first it was found to be impossible, but after months of effort a perfect picture was obtained and an entirely new field in cinema novelties was opened up. The first edition of “Tony Sarg’s Al- manac,” which will be shown simul- taneously at the Rialto and Garden today, carries two distinc subjects, “The First Prohibition Inspector” and ‘The First Cirdus.” Others of Mr. sarg's productions will be presented from time to time on the screens of Mr. Moore's theaters. he having con- tracted for the exclusive first-run showing in this city Not Afraid of Censors. “The censorship difficulties mean nothing in my life,” declared Marioh Davies, the film star. when inter- viewed by a magazine writer on the subject 4 few days ago..

Official Motion Picture. The official moving -picture of the United States Shipping Board, first oxhibited in the east room- of the White House- before the President and members of his cabinet, presents in a pleasing form many facts con- cerning the Amedican merchant ma- rine that are of interest to every citizen. ‘With one-fourteenth of our present population, the United States ships in foreign commerce in 1818 carried 95.5 per cent of our imports and e ports. In 1914 they carried only 8.5 per cent. In the past four years the American merchant marine has advanced more than it did in the previous century. From the outbreak of the world war our requirements were met inya mar- velous manner by the various factors that aided the United States Shipping Board. = < The total tonnage in the merchant marine June 30, 1920, was 25027342 dcadwWéight tons, of which the Shi ping Board had constructed 2,070 ships. aggregating 11,622,361 gead- weight tons. It took an industrial arfhy of three- quarters of a million n to fling across the Atlantic in.stress of-war a- mighty bridge of ships. . Primarily a war measure, the oper- ations of ‘the Shipping Board. under the shipping act, have made this coun- try for the first time in sixty-five years ship-independent.

A 10.000-ton coal burner re- quires three days to fill her bunkers to capacity and is .then coaled for only 3,500 miles.

Two other women were there ahead of her, cach holding half of the bunch of $2 roses that she had brought from town. Her shocked surprise naturally created an embar- rassing situation, which the women wriggled out of by saving something foolish about the beauty of the roses, which they laid back on the grave.

She knew that the minute her back was turned, those women would steal those roses—she said so. to the friend who was driving her to the station. “Why, of course!
