Observation-Disclosures.
This charming opera has been
beautifully told in pictures that have
| a quality of artistic fineness which is
very satisfying. The staging is elab-
crate and consistently matched up,
so that the effect is harmonious the
costunling is beautiful and well taken
by the camera, and the acting has a
lifting dash about it that conveys
the meaning quite convincingly in this
soundless represen tation of Rossini' $
opera story.
Figaro, debonair Barber of Seville, -
friend of lovers. dominate the film
| in this episode, wherein he SITS
straight the tangled strands in the
love affair of dashing Count Alma
viva and the enhancing Rosina
! These two are deeply devoted, but
| Rosina is ward to old DR.. Bartolo,
who has matrimonial aspirations in
her direction himself, and he keeps
her under close guard. The count,
despairing of winning the girl, and
alarmed lest the doctor should take
advantage of her helplessness and
force her into hasty marriage, en-
lists the assistance of the doughty
barber, who is thoroughly in his eie-
ment at the prospect.
There is much pleasant and exciting
intrigue, much Disgusting and detect
ing, and finally a stirring rescue of
the lady that defeats her tricky guar
dian and makes possible her mar
riage with the count.
The bright little story makes a
pleasant theme for picture production

HER HUSBAND"


In this film a schoolgirl prank
grows into long tragedy before the
consequences of youthful thoughtless-
ness are paid up. Dora, a student
at a girls boarding school, and Tom
Harcourt, a cadet at a neighboring
military school, Were playing at n
boy and girl firta ton, when one day
Tom persuaded the girl to go with
him to the thea tire, sending her a
forged note from her father granting
her permission.
The young people returned to the
school after the gate was locked, and
the girl feared to ring lest she should
be reported to her father Tom
saveti the situation by proposing:
Let's get married. We're old enough
to take care of ourselves.
They acted on this suggestion, and
when Dora took her young husband
home her father turned them out of
the house. They then found life
very different proposition from what
they had expected it as they tried
to struggle along in a cheap little
suite. Tom, unable to secure work

The aeroplane work during the pres
ent trouble with Mexico at Vera Cruz
has been handled entirely by the by.
dro-aeroplane force of the navy and
has been essentially successful. The
army force of aeroplanes, with the ex-
ception of those needed in Hawaii and
the Philippines, has been kept on the
border between Texas and Mexico,
though modified and in such shape
that on 20 minutes notice they might
be sent to any point at which their
services would be needed.
Under the Hay bill the aviation Sec
ton will consist of not over so COM
missioned line officers, with rank be-
low that of captain, as well as 260 en-
listed men. These shall be detailed for
periods of four years. The officers,
who will first go through prepare
tory course as aviation students, will
be selected on the recommendation of
the chief signal officer from among the
unmarried lieutenants of the army who
are not over 80 years of age, but they
shall not be assigned to such service
against their will.
Il is further provided, on account of
the extremely hazardous character of
the service, that each aviation student,
when he shall commence to make
flights, shall receive increased pay,
and there is increased pay for enlisted
men, too.
After the passage of the Hay bill
only officers and men who have passed
an examination before board COM

in aviation and two medical officers

be able to handle an aeroplane under
any and all conditions, but must also
have shown himself as especially eff

knowledge of the making and read
ing of military maps, steering by the
compass, making repairs to his aero
plane and the general construction and
thorough handling of gasoline motors
is also required, as well as special
fund OF information in regard to me-
teorology and topography, in relation
to aviation. In short, every army avia-
ter is required to be an expert aviator
and aviator mechanic and also to be
able to watch from his machine and
be able upon his return from any fight
to draw maps of the country over
which he has travelled in such a way
as to set forth its availability and diff
ficulties In military operations.
Only biplanes are used in the United
States army and the machines of the
tractor type, that is, with the en-
CINE in front of the planes, are used ex-
clusively. The machines now in use
are able to make single flights of 240
miles, and carry enough oil and gaso-
line for flight of four hours. They
carry the pilot and an observer as well
as their instruments.
The medical examination Is extreme
ly severe. The condition of the heart
when subjected to unusual attitudes is
examined, and the severest tests of
vision and hear;1C az we'll a G Souca or

after they have succeeded in passing
all these tests the actual work is liable
to develop nervousness which renders

"One hundred and ten pounds or en-.
ergy and enthusiasm" is the way a
newspaper man recently described
Irene Boyle, who plays leads for one OF
the big film companies. Continuing,
he spoke of her as:
"A superbly proportioned little lady
who barely reaches the flve-foot mark.
A strilIingly attractive face with a de-
liciously tilted nose that is as Irish as
the big, blue eyes above il. The eyes
are deserving of special mention. They
have the trick of gazing steadily at the
speaker, conveying the impression of
The whole topped by a
glorious mass of jet black hair"
Those photoplay patrons who have
seen Miss Boyle in the various pro-
auctions in which she has appeared
will have no difficulty whatsoever in
their favorite by the
above description. In the two years
she has been playing leads Miss Boyle

Washington, June 27.-The long
fight to make the T. s. aviation corps,
now under the direction of Colonel
Samuel Reber, as strong and efficient
and we'll equipped as the like organ
izations Of other powers seems to be
won. The Hay bill. which gives the
army signal corps, commanded by
Brigadier General George p. Schriven,
an opportunity TO go ahead with the
work which has been planned in the
past, has already passed the house of
representatives and has been favora-
bly, reported TO the senate by the COM
mittee on military affairs. The bill is
backed by a S250,000 appropriation,
which was made last month.
The United States has nothing in
the line of fighting apparatus for use
in the air, with the exception of aero
planes; not a single dirigible balloon
or other airship which might be used
for offensive work Its fleet of aero
planes, which is divided into four sec
tons, is located at Galveston, Texas;
San Diego, Cal, and in the Hawaiian
and Philippine islands Islands, ana
