"RAlNBOW pRINCESsv

There are many hreathless mo- ments recorded upon the motion pie ture film, but there nave been few which excel the balloon flight of Ann Pennington in the Famous Players Paramount picture The Rainbow Princess" The script called for the ascension to be made in a storm. and Director J. Searie Dawley dio his best to carry out the idea of the author. When Miss Pennington started aloft in the balloon there were hundreds of people, gathered from miles around who thrilled at the spectacle of this little film stal being carried high in the air in the teeth of driving gale. So bad was the wind that the balloon got com pletely beyond Miss Pennington s control and she made a very dan gerous landing. hruising herself quite badly. This Paraomunt feature will be shown at the opera house tonight, together with a joker comedy.

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, April 26.-Violent breaks in wheat prices today followed fresn record breaking advance Of nearly 1o cents. The market was bearishly in- fluenced after midday by the proml- hence given in some quarters to state department peace differences from Ger man disturbances and by other Wash ington advices referring to moves Tor the establishment of a German repub- lie. The close was weak at S2.54A to s2.54% for May and s2.16 to S2.16A for July, with the finish as whole rang ing from 2A decline to 4c advance as compared with A hours before. Corn showed a net loss of one to three cents, oats closed 1c off to bc up, and provi- sions at gains of 15 to soc.
 Until nearly the last hour of trading the wheat market was largely domi- mated by European reports of severe shortage of supplies. Stormy weather involving additional delay and cur tailment of spring wheat seeding both sides of the Canadian line tended further to lift prices.
 Profit taking sales did much to start wheat prices down grade at the last. Wild declines, however. were checked by support which developed for the May option.
