"a Theft in the Dark"

Three-ReeI Edison of Consistent
and Delightful Artistry. Revised by
Louis Reeves Harrison.
Dainty romance in its presentation,
an exquisitely tinted miniature on
ivory, "a Theft in the Dark" has SYM
metry of form, swiftness of action and
not a little of the tingling vitality of
intense drama. Its whole atmosphere
has the facination of time
stories, the kind we used to read long
of this effect is due to careful treat
ment by Charles Brain-he always
beauties his subjects and rarely jars
us with Inconsistencies.

FRITZ scHEFF IN PRETTY MRS SMITH" AT THE ISIS

Michael, who is conspiring with the
secret agents of the Dual Empire.
Mishael naturally makes the most
extreme efforts to gain possession of
the woman who should have been his
bride, and the events of the story
move forward with surprising rapid
ity and originality. In the end De-
light comes to understand that the
forced marriage, which seemed at
first such tragedy, has become the
greatest happiness and good fortune
of her life.
In addition to Miss Jolivet and Mr..
Peters the company includes Page

ton. Theodore Roberts, AL Ernest
Garcia, Marjorie Daw. Raymond Hat

first great hit. 1t was followed by an
even more brilliant and thrilling per-

During Miss Scheff's Sc ond sea-

Cherubiuo in "The Marriage of FL

Pagagena in "The Magic Flute"
Paderewski always referred to her as
''The Little Devil of Grand Opera"
Maurice Grau imported FRITZ Scheff
from Vienna to sing colora ture roles
in the Metropolitan Grand Opera pro-
auctions, and it was after Mr. Grau's
retirement and death that she forsook

operas, of Victor Herbert. In mile

triumph in lyric opera and gave it
the most artistic Interpretation that
the American stage has ever witness

favor that has been hers. Even the
enormously successful dramatic So

and Tetrazzini have failed to arouse
in the music-loving people of America

her impulses are all opposed to the
three mercenary suitors anxious TO

dramatic partner for a girl of this

aversion to women. He is found in

his transformation from an unkempt

preciate the affection that came with
so little effort on his part. Scenes
such as these and the ones earlier in

NEW IDEA IN GOVERNMENT

Oline suitable for fuel, and toluol and
benzol necessary for dyestuffs and
high explosives; yet the process is to

The discoveries are important and
they must be practical or the an.
nouncement would not have been
made so definitely by the government.
But the really notable feature is that
they are not to be commercialized for
individual or corporate profit on the

to make distinct contributions to the
processes of manufacture is newer,
and it opens a field OF possibilities in
which 1t can render vast service.
Hitherto individual Investigators have
made our discoveries, and financiers
have exploited them for private gain.
If, in the future. our government shall
be able to point the way to new devel.
opments in scientific industry, there
will be a frank recognition that the

WHEN SUN DRAWS WATER
Some Erroneous Ideas That Seem to
Have Taken Firm Hold on the
\. 4 '@ WED q Peoples imagination.

7 When-th sun is to the east or west
Of us on cloudy or hazy day, beams
are often seen radiating from it toward
the horizon; then many people say
the sun is drawing water" They &C.
tually believe that the lines of light
and shadow appearing to converge In
the sun are great shafts OF water: and
the vapor that the sun is dra wing up
into the air to be precipitated later on
the earth as rain or snow. These
shafts as a matter OF fact are general
ly indicative of coming rainy weather.
but they cannot be counted on as in.
fallible signs. za. - ....55, r..
The idea that the sun is drawing
water" however. is entirely erroneous,
for the lines seen are the result OF
the passage Of light through openings
in clouds already formed. The lines
that appear dark are shadows of
clouds while the light lines are rays
from the sun made visible in the air
by the presence tiet=in OF dust or wa
terry ,vapor. just as the dust in the
air OF room makes visible the light
that enters it Through small apertures
