Routes of the Virginia lines will not be changed at the present, Mr. Arnold sald.

COLUMBIA—“The Wanderer.” Loew’s Columbia Theater this week Club-Congres- | is offering a rara avls, a screen ver- sion of a Bibical story without the taint of modernity, 2 Raoul Walsh production, which is truly an epic masterplece. In it one of the most overwhelming sights in screen history, the fall of the city of Babylon, ‘marvelously pictured, the crumbling of massive structures, the people fleeing destruc- tion and all bereath skies that fairly fire. It produces an effect Lytton’s last day of Pompell. “The Wanderer” is the Bible story of the prodigal son. It adheres strict- 1y to the spirit of the theme and very argely to the letter. It begins with a charming pastoral picture of the life of the family of Jesse, a patri- arch of Judah, and then centers at- tentfon on Jether, the younger son, who dreams of cities and of life, and succumbing to the fascination of the tales he has heard of them, he gives way to the call of adventure and leaves his father’'s house to follow the caravan of Tisha, priestess of the goddess Ishtar. Thence the scene shifts to Babylon, the city of wild dissipation, and there 1t is that Jether “‘walks with princes,” until, despolled of his riches, he is re- pudiated by his former friends. Only the love of the priestess Tisha holds despite the warn- Corns between Toes — Hard Corns, Soft Corns Doesn't hurt one bit! So easy, so simple.

After seelfig “Behind the Front” at Loew's Palace yesterday, one is con- vinced that either the general or the producer is wrong—but the plece is 50 mirthtul that no one cares which. “Behind the Front” isn't a war pic- ture done in @ big way. It's a war plcture, rather, done in @ hilarious way. By and large, it len’t a drain on the emotions.
