FRATERNITY HOUSE
AT SEWANEE BURNED
Handsome Sandstone Building
and Its COMMITS destroyed
by fire

SEWANEE, Tenn, Jan. Is. The
handsome sandstone chapter house
of the Kappa Alpha fraternity, which
for many years has been the home of
Alpha Alpha chapter, located at the
University of the South, was totally
destroyed by fire of unknown origin
Wednesday morning. The fire was
discovered between and 9 o'clock,
while most of the students were at
tending classes, and had gained such
Roadway that it was impossible to
save any of the contents of the
building,
The chapter room, which was the
first to catch, contained all of the re-
cords of the chapter, while on the
walls of the house were pictures of the
members who had been connected
with the fraternity at Sewanee since
its institution in December, 1888. Ex-
tens i've improvements which were
begun on the house and grounds since
the postholiday opening of the college
were nearing completion, and these,
together with other losses, it is thought
will amount to nearly $4,000. Insur-
ance amounting to 81, 700 was carried
on the property.

Shows Great Dancer
Can Be GOOD Actress

Can a great dancer be a great ac-
tress? is the question that Maud Al
Ian has answered conclusively in her
first appearance in motion pictures as
star of the new production of Bos-
worth incorporated. The Rug Max
ers' Daughter" which will be seen
at the Majestic Theatre Friday and
Saturday July 80 and 81.
That Maud Allan should succeed so
brilliantly in an art she had never
before attempted simply brings out
the fact that the dances of Maud AL
Ian, Pavlowa and such superwomen of
art gain their distinction from the
very fact that they are fundamentally
dramatic.
In the production Of The Rug Max
ers' Daughter" Maud Allan faced the
ordeal of sharing the stage for the
nrst time without her people: of ac-
customing herself TO working with
other people; of abandoning every
method she had made her own and
doing things another way. But the
i perfect ease with which she fitted in /;
! the sureness with which she got her
effects, particularly in her love scenes
with Forrest Stanley-all proved her
an actress whose attainments would
have assured her lasting fame had
she ever cared to adopt the stage as
| a career.
! The Rug Makers Daughter" ac-
cordingly presents the significant
/ spectacle of a world famous dancer
undergoing the test of an actress and.

the profound affinity of the two arts.
