one of the most remarkable moving PIC

bees are the chief artisans.

much so to the country folk, who have
been keeping bees for years and thin
they know all about them.
More than 1000 feet of film are re-
quired to depict the carrying of the
honey from the field flower to the sepa-
for home use. The bees show up on the
screen as monsters fourteen inches long.
They are shown collecting pollen. gather
ing nectar and making honey in the
comb. The film does not even respect the
sanctity of the bees home but goes into
the hive and shows the queen deposit
ing eggs in the cells and the hatch
ing of the larvae and their development
into workers. The making Of comb honey
is shown as well as the separating of the
honey and the bottling of it for home
use

The film will Ice sent out as one of the
rural education films. The department
now has several operators out with films
and moving picture machines for educa-
ton and amusement among the rural
communities. This film not only shows
the active part the bees take III the
drama of honey making. but the ideal
and sanitary way Of handling both comb
and extracted honey before it is put on
the market.
There has been some trouble in getting
moving picture apparatus that would
work in some of the communities where
there was no electricity available, but
that part of the problem has been solved
by drafting the automobile into service.
The department now has an apparatus
that can be btched up to the gas tank
Of the automobile. and even small tank
will furnish light for seventy hours. Some
of the larger tanks will do all the light
ing a picture machine needs for go hours.

Hereafter graduates Of the Alexandria

This Was brought about by placing the

The placing of this school on the ac-

Polls.

No greater tribute of praise could be
given by an audience than that accorded
to Paul AIcAllister at Polls Theater last
night, when the insistent public which
had seen him die in the third act of
Trilby forced him to return to the stage
from his dressing room and in state
of makeup which had bereft him of his
long Du Maurier beard, acknowledge the
hearty plaudits. In fact, if Mr.. Nc
Allister had not come forth to bow to
the people who thus showed their APP
probation the time of the long play
would have been stretched out perhaps
to a disheartening degree. Mr.. Meal
lister, who is known here principally
through his work in light comedy. as
suined the grotesque and rather mystify-
ing role of the hypnotist-muscian in
manner which speaks volumes for his
versatility. Ii the man who handles the
calcium lights had not been so partial
to the green shade over his instrument
Mr. McAllister's performance would take
rank with any of the best bits of char
acterization seen in local stock COM
panies.

with the pitiful story of the whole-soul-
ed and beautiful Trilby. She was charm

respectively. by Mark Kent, Thomas Will

an added bit of comment for the fine
manner in which she made her appear
ance conform to the illustrations in the |
original novel,
Trilby is an interesting story, and |
seemed to lose none of its grip last night |
on account of the fact that it is several |
decades old. The story of Trilby, who |
made her fame as a model in the Latin |
quarter and afterward was hypnotized |
into the worlds greatest singer and who
was made by Svengali to forget her old |
friends and old life and to depend entire
ly on the strong will in his misshapen |
and ugly body. bids fair to being as
famous as the story of Camille. with the |
added attraction of being interspersed |
with clean and lively comedy in the |
proper proportions.
