FROM the American Magazine.
A collection of photographs were
made in the rapids of the Grand Can

adventurous photographers in the
southwest. The following note tells
something about the Kolb brothers:
"At the beginning of September, 1911.
two brothers, Emory and Ellsworth
Kolb, left Green River, wyoming in
specially constructed boats for Needles,
Cal, by way of the canyon of the
Green and Grand rivers. They took with
them not only cameras. but a moving
picture machine, with which they made

FIFTY YEARS OF
LIES MISERABLES"
Short Sketch of the Famous Novel
of Victor Hugo and Facts That
Will Interest

In 1862 Les Miserables" was published
simultaneously in 10 languages, Since
then 1t has been translated into every lit
erary language of the world. This tragi-
comedy of human life has had more in
huence than any other novel ever written
The reason for this is that Victor Hugo
concerned himself with the real depths
of human nature. For that same reason
it will never grow old. Victor Hugo wrote
a preface of 10 lines that is a volume in
itself. 1t reads:
80 long as there shall exist, by reason
of law and custom, a social condemna-
tion which, in the face of civilization, arti-
ficially creates hells on earth, and COM
plicates a destiny that is divine, with hu-
man fatality; so long as the three prob
lens of the age-the degradation of man
by poverty, the ruin OF woman by star
walton, and the dwarfng of childhood by
physical and spiritual night-are not
solved; so long as, in certain regions, So
cial asphyxia shall be possible in other
words, and from yet more extended
point of view, so long as ignorance and
misery remain on earth, books like this
cannot be useless"
Is it not clear why this monumental
work is as new and vital today as when
it was first written? His theme is today
the theme of sociologists, novellsts and
playwrights.
swinburne described Hugo as "the
greatest writer born in the nineteenth

century" He also wrote: I'm him man.
kind witnessed the fusion of pity and
horror into a fiery and burning charity"
For half a century Victor Hugo was
haunted with the sad spectacle of human
suffering. He relieved his conscience by
the creation of Les Miserables." AS he
wrote to a friend. "It is a kind of plane
tary system moving around a giant SOUL
which is an incarnation of all the social
misery of the time
In Holland and Belgium the book be-
came known as "the gospel of the peo-
pie" 1t was equally popular in Japan and
in the depths of Tartar Muscovy. In the
United States during the civil war it was
the favorite book of the soldiers in both
armies special edition was printed for
them which was called the Volunteer 8
Edition" The soldiers carried the book in
their knapsacks and feverishly devoured
its thrilling pages between battles. They
used to call each other by the names of
the characters in the book. Towards the
end of the war when Lees army suffered
so much for shoes and clothing the novel
became known as Lees Miserables'' and
the men accepted that name for them
selves Lamartine, who attacked the book,
yet admitted that 1t was 1.-The romance
of the people,
lies Miserables" was first dramatized
by the poets brother, Charles Hugo, and
was produced In 1865. 1t was revived at
the Theatre Saint Martin in 1878 and
many times since In this country 1t was
done by Wilton Lackaye under the name
of "The Man and the Law" However, all
stage representations are inadequate for
this massive story. For this reason the
photo-drama made in Paris by the prin-
cipal actors of the Partisan stage has
been so successful, for there is no limit to
the camera and the screen. Nothing is
too colossal to be reproduced by photog-
raphy.

and giving credit to Italy for the accom-
plishment, determined to outdo 1t If pos
sible. The result is that all other photo
plays that have been produced are said
by the producers to pale before Les Mis-
erables." 1t would be impossible to act
Les Miserables'' effectively on the stage.
There was interest in the play, but there
are SO many things in the book that
could not be staged. There was no stage
large enough. 1t was impossible to re-
produce all the scenes as described in the
book, But along came modern ideas and
the advancement in motion photography,
The French actors make Jean Vatican,
Fantine, Cosette, Marius. Javert, Then

DIVERS WILL BE SEEN
AT ORPHEUM THEATRE
John Conroy and His Diving Girls
Are Featured on the Bill This
Week-Other Acts

What is claimed to be the seasons
most expensive vaudeville is offered at the
Orpheum this week. Manager Semon had
his bill complete, and 1t was a good one
when he discovered that he might be able
to- secure a headline feature from the
Forsyth In Atlanta, and he Immediately
booked John Conroy and his diving girls
The cost of this one act alone is as great
as the average vaudeville bill at the Or
pheum, but Manager Semon figured that
the additional patronage tho act would
bring would be worth the extra expendi-
ture.
The Atlanta Constitution says of the
Conroy diving girls:
"Kellerman. Odiva and Ideal have all
appeared upon the vaudeville stage in
Atlanta and have pleased big audiences
by their exhibitions at swimming and div
ing, but the peer of all acts for sheer
daring and dangerous feats is headlining
the bill at the Forsyth this week in the
number offered by John F. Conroy, the
world famous life saver.
'Mr. Conroy is assisted by two girls,
who are good to look at. both in face and
In figure. His scenic equipment is of the
best, and the last two dives, in which all
three are in the water at the same time
are the most thrilling Atlanta has yet
seen.''
Another headliner is Henry Hayward
and company, presenting a railroad
sketch filled with action, comedy and
amusement. "The FREELY" The singing
and comedy and dancing of the bill will
be done in the main by Prince and
