The most unsatisfactory basket bal
game of the year was played with st
Cloud Monday afternoon. The local
team has been laboring under nunaer-
Gus handicaps due to many causes but
the climax was reached when Capt.
Gamradt Was unable to play being i
bed contesting with the grip. Diebel
the other forward should have beer
home in bed but gamely appeared for
the game. After drafting from the
second team and Senior Glass team
and re-arranging the few regulars left
the game was called.
For the first five minutes this ag-
gregation was able to hold the st.
Cloud "Vets" to 8 points, gained
through foul throws. Caughren was
rendered "Hors de Combat" by crack
on the nose which. caused bleeding to
continue after the 2 minutes of time
out" were up.
Luck was entirely one-sided. St.
Cloud gathered in baskets from shoes
no better than many missed by the
home bunch. The referee Mr.. Hunt
meyer of Melrose had busy and
hard day. However, it seemed that he
got the fouls of the Sank Centre
bunch but sadly missed the same of
the st. Cloud organization, perhaps on
account of their ability acquired
through past experience to get by
without detection.
The st. Cloud team was the slowest
quint that has played here this year.
Their five man defense was a feature
but we would have enjoyed watching
Gamradt go through for counters. The
final score 29-4 indicates nothing as to
the relative merits of the Sank Centre
and st. Cloud basket ball teams.

REALISTIC VOLCANO SCENE
IN sTHE BIRD OF PARADISE

The remarkable scenic effect in the
last volcano scene of oliver Morosco's
THE Bird of Paradise" which will
be seen at Lavering theatre, Friday
January II, has been the subject OF
much comment and many questions.
The illusion of a flaming reflection
is perfect; the red glare of the sub
terranean lava seems absolutely
thrown upon the sky. The illumina-
tons is portentious, ominous - even
terrifying in the dramatic moments of
the plays finale, yet the mechanism
is nowhere apparent.
The designer, to get down to the
truth of the matter, is no other than
Mr.. Morosco himself, who has had
years of experience in studying out
intricate ideas of stagecraft.
When "1ahe Bird of Paradise" was
first produced in New York, the en-
tire stage force of the company and
theatre was up In the air over this
effect Nothing 1t seemed could be
done to make it look realistic A
few nights before the play opened Mr..

the Strand audience, including hard

The New York Herald said:
Miss Mae Marsh displayed on the
screen some of the most charming
acting that has ever graced a photo
play. She brought youthful romance
and tears and laughter about as close
to the spectator as the silent drama
permits Her weeping scenes with the
sunshine peeping through the tears
were positively remarkable"

Louis A. Celia furnished more Of

amassed the larger fortune and his
financial exploits are reckohed still
as among the most audacious ever at

confined his efforts almost entirely TO
horse racing and owned some of the
best known racers in the country.
Celia at his death. was reputed to

assistance from his father and went
