BEST THEATRE.

Monday-"Heart and Soul" offers Theda Bara in a role quite different from her usual vampire parts. She portrays the character of Jess, girl Of the thriller type, in manner that speaks we'll for her versatility. This Fox production combines a thor ough1y entertaining and consistent story with carefully selected scenes and wei maintained atmosphere. The theme of the play is particularly time ly. The scenes are laid in Porto Rico and bring strongly into play the upris- ing of the natives. offering excellen opportunity for the promotion of I patriotic appeal. Then, again, it is a, story of self-sacrifice of one girl for her sister. This alone carries enough pathos to grasp the attention of the audience from the very start, which woven into plot that has it's full quota of thrills, provides picture of unquestionable entertaining possibili- ties.
 The mob scenes have all been pre- scented with careful attention and the atmosphere is such to demand praise. The evenly moving story shows the hand Of q master director and this release will only place another pro- duction in the list of J. Gordon Ed wards successes.

Improvement on ~skis."

An increase of several yards in the lump of ski-runners is rather sur prising result of the process of metal Nzing objects by means of spray. In Switzerland. coating of aluminium of the thickness of thin cardboard is be- ing applied to the ski-blades by this method, and this not only adds greatly to the durability of tue bearing surface but 1t also very materially lessens friction, and tends further % prevent caking of snow on the blades. It is the diminished friction thst lengthens the jump.
