A Wonderful Wall.

Few people realize what an almost
perfect condition prevails along a
large part of the great wall of China.
The bricks of the parapet are as firm
as ever, and their edges have stood
the severe climatic conditions of North
China with scarcely break. The
paving along the top of the wall is so
smooth that one may ride over it With
a bicycle, and the great granite blocks
with which it Is faced are smooth and
as closely fitted as when put in place
over 1000 years ago.
The entire length Of this wall is
1,40O miles; it is % feet high and 20
feet in thickness. At intervals Of 100
yards or SO there are towers. some 40
feet in height.

Mr.. Bunny will be assisted by a

success in this city which is reported
from other places where he has ap-
peared.
It is not generally known that Mr.
Bunny was an actor of some repute
before he entered the motion picture
business, but as a matter of fact the
past thirty years has seen him in
many different characters familiar to
theater-goers of this city.
Jane Ware, sister of Helen Ware,
who is playing in "The Benediction,'
which will be the attraction at the
Valentine for Thursday night and
Saturday matinee, beginning Thurs
day evening, Oct. %. Her advice to
the young aspirants is, therefore, val
liable. She says: Success on the
stage is not won through any one
characteristic. but through curious
combination of many"
"The Benediction" is gripping
play with moral based upon the
power of divine faith in overcoming
the worldly pitfalls that occur in the
life of convent girl when she goes
out in the world. Miss Wares work
in this new play is said to attest the
fact that she has profted by her own
prescription.

the slogan in the morning service.
