HENRY B. WALTHALL
 IN THE RAVEN" BY POE

The filming of "The Raven" is a most exacting task for the most talent ed producer, one that might well cause the fittest to fear and hesitate before undertaking it; but Charles J. Bra bin was strengthened in his purpose and work by the knowledge that he had in Henry B. Walthall an ideal per sonality for the impersontion of Amer ica's gifted cratic genius, if not her greatest poet.
 The death of Poe's mother, his adop- tion by John Allan and his wife, his student life and the debts contracted, his lovemaking to sweet Virginia clemn.. nis expulsion from his foster Iatner-s house, accompanied by Virginia and a devoted negro servant, the life of Virginia and himself in the Fordham cottage near New York city. and her untmely death, take up about 4000 feet of film The remaining 2000 feet are devoted to "The Raven" in which MT. Waltha1l gives us the lmpersona- tion of Poe that always will be con sidered classic--il my opinion In these two reels he sounds the depths of terrible mental anguish, of despair, of disordered fancy, and of all the ills that a brilliant mind distraught is heir to- As we look. we pity, We sympa- thizc. and at times are strangely moved
 The realism of the scenes which oc- cur in his lonely home, in the Ford- ham cottag cast a spell on the spec tstor Not least is the uncanniness ere sted by the use of real, live raven, which takes it's part in the action, all through the poem, It flies in through the window, when he opens it, and pcrches on the bust of Pallas, just as naturally as one had outlined in imag- ination.

ROBERT WARWICK AS
 A SOCIETY WILLIAM

World film will shortly present Rob ert Warwick in Capellani produc- ton called "The Flash of an Elmer ald." Robert Warwick plays char acter which is officially described as 8 ''social vulture," preying on his friends and diyerting suspicion by his gen tlemanly graciousness." At the end of the play when Lucien Waldeck Chats the gentlemanly villains name) is re- vealed as the thief of the enormously valuable emerald. he commits suicide.
 Mir Warwick when spoken to on the subject. frankly said that he welcomed the opportunity of making thorough exposition of the versatility of his art. As Rabat in "The Face of the Moon light" he played crooked person to the satisfaction of his critics; but the part was neutralized by that of Vic tor in the same film; and Victor was one of those goody goody persons which World film has condemned Warwick to play so often and so successfully.
 Seriously, Mir Warwick is very versatile artist. and as Lucius Waldecl1 in The Flash of an Emerald,' he will have every opportunity of demonstrat- ing the fact

Insect Metal R0rerS

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 The voracious and destructive habits of the white ants of the tropics are widely known. Metal is almost the only substance that they are unable to de- stroy. There is an insect, however, and it is not necessary to go to the tropics to find it-that can bore through metal as easily as the white ant can bore through wood.
 Anyone can hear this insect buzzing in the pine woods in midsummer or perhaps see the flash of it's yellow wings. Sirez gigas is it's formida ble scientific name, but we know it simp- ly as the horn tailed wasp. This wasp bores into the tree in various places with its long tail, and in each hole leaves an egg.
 The ensuing larva, white, six legged grub, fitted with powerful jaws, takes up the work of boring into the wood and as it advances closes the passage behind it with the sawdust. If uninterrupted, the larva continues boring deeper and deeper into the tree and since it is. of course, growing all the time, it makes larger and larger passage.
 After about two years it makes it's cocoon of silk in the burrow. Then. after the pupal skin is cast off. the winged insect breaks through it's cocoon Immediately, with feverish haste, it begins boring toward liberty. Finally it reaches the bark of the tree and then the open air.
 It is often the case that during the lsryal period the tree in which the horn-tailed wasp is burrowing may be felled. sawed into blanks and used in building operations. Sometimes. for some particular purpose, the timber may be incased in a metal sheathing, That does not disturb the wasp at all When it's time comes it applies itself with energy to it's task and soon bores hole through which it can escape.
 Holes made by these insects have been found in tin roofs, and in the mint at Vienna was safe, the half-inch steel plates of which the wasps had perforated. Some extraordinary eases of their activity were brought to the notice of the Academy of Sciencfs in Paris.
 A barrel of cartridges that had been stored away for sometime showed the rayages of the wasps in their search for light and freedom. The insects had not only eaten their way through the wooden barrel. but through the car tri6ges and leaden bullets as well.
 Other boxes of cartridges. dating from the Crimean war. were shown, completely riddled by wasp boring an excellent illustration of the tre- mendous strength and the determina- ton to accomplish their purpose that these fragile insects possess.

Robert c. Ogden and Hampton

From An Ogden Memorial" by Alber.
 Shaw, in the American Review of Re
 views for November.
 If Robert c. Ogden had lived until the 2Cth of next June, he would have been 30 years old. He would have continued to give unfailing effort to the solving of the problems of American ciyiliza- ton through the right kind of agencies for the training of young people of all laces and classes. After lifetime of -ema rlSable usefulness-durin which he showed what a plain business man can do to serve his fellow men, and win then love and gratitude-he died in August. 19l3 It is determined by many who were associated with him in his good work
 that there shall be a fitting and lasting
 memorial erected to his memory. And
 there is entire agreement as to the form
 of this monument.
 For 40 years MT. ogden was chairman
 of the board Of trustees of the famous
 institute at Hampton, Va. Many years ago he built home there, looking for ward to spending much time on the Hampton Roads if he should ultimately gain release from the cares of a great mercantile establishment in New York city. It is at Hampton, therefore that all those who were concerned with MT. Ogden and his activities are agreed that the memorial should be built. It will rot be an obelisk or a mauoleum. but a thing for constant use-namely, much- needed auditorium on the grounds of the
 Hampton Normal and Agricultural in- stitute.
 It is to be wished that the eightieth anniversary of Mir Ogdens birth might be celebrated. next June, in this new auditorium. That indeed, may not be l quite feasible. Yet MT. Ogden himself | if under like circumstances he had been projecting memorial in honor of his | lifelong friend, General Armstrong, who founded the Hampton institution--inight l have overcome all obstacles and erected I such a building in half year. The Hon. | William Howard Taft is now at the head
 of the Hampton board of trustees. and ! he is chairman of a large committee that 1 is formed to aid and support the pro- | posed plan of all Ogden memorial. Doubt ! less the speed with which the building is begun and completed will depend much | upor the promptness with which those 1 who would wish to help in this project send in their subscriptions. The total
 sum asked for Is s1000OQ.

IRVING CUMMINGS, A NOTED SCREEN STAR,
 AT STRAND THEATRE
Decided Innovation at Popu- lar House-Dustin Farnum Coming in "The Gentle
 man From Indiana"
................s.......s.

As distinct novelty this week Presi- dent T. S. Abernethy offers a real sure enough motion picture actor as an at trs ction at the Strand. Irving Cummings is the young man in question.
 Just what Mr. Cummings will do is not exactly known at this time, but ac- cording to MT. Abernethy, he will lec- ture on his picture, Prom Out of the Darkness, and will also meet the patrons of the Strand. This will be on Tuesday and Wednesday.
 MT. Cummings is probably one of the best of the present-day motion picture stars. He has Just completed his work in ''fhe Diamond From the Sky and has appeared for the past five years in the majority of the standard producing companies. His presence in Birmingham will undoubtedly add to the popularity of moving pictures.
 Of course there are other good things on the Strand programme this week. For today Helene of the North,' with Mar guerite Clark, will be shown This pie ture appeared in Birmingham some months ago and was a great success. Its return as a Sunday attraction should bring more crowds to the strand.
