"The Hungry Heart"

"The Hungry Heart" which comes
to the Grand Monday, contains a
pleasing element of surprise in that
It provides an unexpected finish. No
body expects the wronged husband to
forego the usual revenge which usage
has rendered sacred to melodrama for
many years. And when he does so,
one is hardly prepared for his self
sacrifice, the granting of divorce to
his wife in which he bears the blame,
and still less for the series Of events
which result in a perfect understand
ing being reached between them. Yet
50 perfect is the character study of
the heroine role given by Pauline
Frederick that the situations never
appear over-strained. AS Courtney
Vaughn she scores decided dra-
matte triumph to which her personal
beauty contributes no less than her
emotional talents. Faultless photo
graphy lends charm to the feature.

Susan sees Dick enter the would-be

cures divorce, and how they are
finally reconciled and remarked by a
minister who is providentially at hand

PRIEST DEFIEs DEATH.
Rescues Sacred Vessels When Flames
Threaten Sanctuary,

Il 90 = y j..
The host of friends hereabout Of
Rev. Father Edward F. Park, former
~ of Donaldsonville, will be interest
ed in the following item which ap-
peared in Fort Worth newspaper of
January 81:
"'Rev. Father E. F. Park of St.
Mary's Catholic Church Of the As
sumption, 500 West Magnolia street,
defed death and was injured severely
Tuesday night January 29) when he
rushed into caldron of flames and
rescued sacred vessels and statuary,
threatened momentarily with destruc-
tion by a fire which damaged the
building extensively. Father Park is
one Of the best known Catholic
clergymen in the southwest.
"St Mary's Catholic church is a
wooden structure. The flames, which
started from a defective gas radiator
near the altar, ate rapidly through
the floor and undermined the support
ing sidewalks Of the structure. When
Father Park, despite admonitions of
firemen and spectators, rushed
through binding smoke and scorching
flame and gained the sanctuary, he
was in momentary danger of roof
that tottered upon it's supports.
Gather Parks left wrist was frac-
tured and one leg was bruised. De-
spite his injuries, the reverend father
declined medical aid until the safety
of the sacred vessels and statuary was
assured. Then he was given treat

Children Valuable Lesson.
Urging the demonstration agents to

Supt. T. H. Harris delivered force

Baton Rouge recently.
1'In this one problem of food lies
the weight that will turn the scale for

he, and the great responsibility rests
upon the shoulders of these demon
stration agents who are working in
the very homes of the people
'For years the schools have been
trying to teach thrift" Mr.. Harris
added, "and it has been all but dis

ever put before the school children OF

EXCELLENT OFFERINGS AT GEM.
Another Interesting Seven-Reel Pro-
gram Announced for SUNDAY.

Manager Won Lotten of the Gem
Theatre has arranged an attractive
program for Sunday, Feb. II, the bill
comprising the fourth installment of
the official war pictures portraying
The Retreat of the Germans at the
Battle of Arras," and the powerful
five-reel Pathe Gold Rooster feature,
Iris" adapted from Pinero's famous
stage play Of the same name. Alma
Taylor, an English actress of unusual
ability and charming personality, is
starred in the latter production, and
does splendid work. An interesting
story is told-one that takes up the
eternal triangle" question and car
ries it through to the finish. The lat
ter reels are marked by strong dra-
matte action. The picture is recon-
mended as one that will be well re-
ceived by all.
To recall the first of the war films
to reach this country and then to
view "The Retreat of the Germans at
the Battle Of Arras' is to realize (if
one can for a moment forget the
tragic meaning Of it al) the astound-
ing progress made in war picturiza-
ton. Here is film Of good technical
quality that for the time being makes
the spectator part of the armies of
England in the front line trenches, in
the air, under the ground, on No
Mans Land, trudging weary miles
along the roads dotted with shell pits;
wherever, in fact, there is work to be
done for the troops of democracy.
1t is very wonderful and thrilling
and sad, yet inspiring withal, and
designed to increase ones
respect for the men who can laugh
when death is chuckling in the
throats of, howitzers and smile when
an arm OF leg has been left by the
roadside.
A more vivid impression of the war
can be gained from seeing these pic
lures than from reading all the books
that have been written on the subject.

"The Danger Trail"

James Oliver Curwood's thrilling
story of the frozen north, "The Dan
ger Trail,"s. which will be shown at the
Grand Wednesday, is crammed with
action from start to finish, one of the
particularly stirring incidents being
a fist fight between the hero and a
half-breed' that is said to be one of
the most exciting and realistic ever
filmed. H. B. Warner plays the lead
ing role and never fails to meet fully
every demand of this impressive and
self-reliant character. His athletic
prowess stands him in good stead, and
in the fistic encounter referred to his
science, skill, agility and strength are
shown in admirable fashion.

FOOD SITUATION ACUTE.
Save All You Can" is Text of Appeal
to Loyal Louisianians.

The new kitchen cards and othel
literature of the second pledge care
campaign Of the Food Administration
are being arranged for distribution tt
every home in the state. The mair
message sent out is the sann as that
issued to the hotels and restaurants
and is backed by the same appea
from Herbert Hoover, United States
food administrator. who wired
"News dispatches from Germany are
convincing evidence that food is going

part in this accomplishment The
principal recommendation are:

3. Monday and Wednesday wheat.
less.
a. One meatless meal each day. It
is preferred this should be the evening
meal
S. One wheatless meal each day.
Save fats and sugar every day.
Owing to the same acuteness of the
food situation referred to, the Food
Administration recently issued the
"fifty-fifty" flour order. This COM
pels the purchase Of a pound Of sub
stitutes for every pound of wheat
flour. The double aim is to reduce
the consumption of flour, so as to fur
nish the quota Of wheat which must
be shipped before the next crop comes
in, and to popularize the other cereals.
The latter include hominy, corn grits,
corn meal, corn -four, edible corn
starch, barley flour, rolled oats, oat-
meal, rice, rice -four, buckwheat flour,
potato flour, sweet potato -four, soya
bean flour, and feterita flour and
meal. The order is especially favor
able to this section, where most of the
substitutes are Or can be raised. This
very fact led to protest from many
Louisiana farmers, who said they had
quantities of the substitutes on hand
and did not think they should be fore
ed to buy more so as to procure the
flour they needed. John NJ. Parker,
food administrator for Louisiana,
ruled temporarily that they could OBJ
tain -four without other purchases, up
on their certificates of such substi-
tutes in possession. Washington has
since upheld the ruling Another
general complaint was by the dealers
and bakers, regarding the difficulty of
substitutes in sufficient
quantity. This opens up a home mar

Broken Ties" +"

June Elvidge, Montagu Love and
Arthur Ashley are featured in
Broken Ties," which the Grand an
nounees as it's attraction for Thurs
day. The production tells the story
Of conscientious attorney who be-
lieves it is his sacred duty to safe
guard the interests of his clients at
all times, even though doing so may
mean sacrifice and suffering for him
self. This sense of duty leads him in
to most difficult situation, in which
he is forced to probe into his wife's
connection with a@murder case in or
der to prove that the man he is de-
Tending is innocent. The story moves
swiftly from one gripping incident to
another, and ends with a powerful
climax.

Nations Destiny Depends on Food.

Food, and especially the concen-
trated food easiest to carry and cock,
has become almost deciding factor
in the nations destiny. Not home
or an individual must be allowed to be
Stacker or commit any act against
the nations welfare. That is the
idea behind the new pledge card
campaign and the other moves made
by the food administration. Mr..
Parker considers the food conserva-
ton cause so important at this time
that he has appointed Henry r.
Hardtner, Of Urania, deputy food adj
ministrator in special charge Of con-
servation. The latter was hobby of
Mr.. Hardtner's long before the war,
and he has performed signal service
in it's behalf since the United States
was forced into the battle. The
wealthy lumberman and patriotic cit
izen will virtually devote his entire
time to the honorary post, and will
carry the message of food victory in
to every parish in the state.

About Constipation.

Certain articles of diet tend to
check movements of the bowels. The
most common of these are cheese, tea
and boiled milk. On the other hand
raw fruits, especially apples and
bananas, also graham bread and whole
wheat bread promote a movement of
the bowels. When the bowels are
badly constipated, however, the sure
way is to take one or two of Cham
