Wonder Picture Coming

The problem of the producer In pre- pairing Les Miserebles' for the nov ing picture is not only to interpret clearly the characters in the novel, but to bring the times in which the book was written realistically before the spectator.
 To do this French jet factory of the early nineteenth century is shown running in full blast. It represents Jean Valjean's industry in French town. The feat was accomplished by obtaining quantities of jet and placing it on boards which had actually seen service in France. The settings ar ranged. French women, who earn their living as jet workers, were engaged and the scene filmed.
 Another bit of realism is the use of the actual money of the period of the novel. 1S10-1S3O. These coins are ex- tremely rare and were rented for the occasion. A closeup is shown so the I.public can appreciate their historic value.
 The wonderful character, Jean Val jean, appeals to the hearts of all who see the struggle of his soul to rule his ! life by the principles of right when the world had stamped him as a con- vict.
 Masterly interpretation is needed to convey to the spectators this tragic | creation of Victor Hugo's and William Farnum's abilities are equal to the l task

French Posters

 The Phoenix National bank is an art gallery or museum of art as we'll as financial institution. There are on display there ii large posters received from France from w. M. Hrophy of Risbee who has been there for the last year en- gagged in war work. Some of these posters, in fact most of them, are works of art. They lack the pre- ciseness of line and the wealth of coloring of the average American poster, but they much more than make up for that in strength. They are issued to facilitate sub seriptions to French war loan just as American posters have been used to increase interest in the Liberty loans and they must have had a marked effect for the pictures are compelling.
 The French titles of the posters have been translated on type written slips pasted on the mar gins. These posters were all or dered by the French government. The management of the bank ex- tends an, invitation to the public to call and inspect them.

Lieutenant Paul Perigord of the French army. who by the way speaks the most perfect of English, has had a-eareer which for romance surpasses that of most men. Once a chaplain in the French army, en- listing from Minnesota to fight for the homeland of his race, he jumped into the breach when the officers of a company to which he was attached were killed he then enlisted as a private and by brav- cry on the field of battle was com missioned. His wonderful ability as an orator caused his transfer for a time to the committee on public information. It is a first hand story he will tell Sunday afternoon.
