CECIL B. DE MILE
NOT IN FAVOR OF
STAINLESS PRODUCTIONS

When THE Whispering Chorus"
the first of the series of super-photo-
plays Cecil B. De Mile will produce
for Aircraft, was announced, consid-
cradle interest was evidenced in the
fact that there would be no individu-
al star featured in this picture. This,
however, according to statement
from Mr.. De Mile, is no indication
that he is in favor of movement to
Hdo away with motion picture stars. In
view of the fact that such famous
screen artists as Kath1yn Williams,
Raymond Hatton and Elliott Dexter
appear in this play, it might be term
ed an "all-star' production. Neverthe-
less, the subject itself will be featured,
rather than the individuality of the
players.
! In making himself clear on this
point, Mr.. De Mile said: When Mr..
Griffith staged The Birth of a Nation
he did not feature Henry Walthall, he
featured The Birth of a Nation it
| will be the same way with The Whis-
pering Chorus
This cinema will be an example of
a photoplay, which instead of starring
player, stars the production itself
1t is one of those stories which en-
bodies largely outstanding characters
and only such pictures justify a nom
star production. The character of this
particular play is such that unusually
strong roles are given to several play
ers of all-star calibre.
I'm making this production the see
mario for which is by Jeanne Macpher-
son, 1 especially desire to emphasize
the strength of the story and I do by
no means wish to give the impression
that we are producing a picture with
the idea of minimizing the Importance
of the players-but rather that we
are centering our attention upon the
direction and the story itself.
1--WE have a story in Perley Poore
Sheehan's book which is perhaps the
strongest psychological study ever
used for a screen play and it has a
! climax equal to that in The Tale OF
Two Cities We have come to realize
that it takes am exceptionally strong
production to stand on its own merits
regardless of whether big names are
! featured or not. Of course, it is al
ways our desire to present big stars
in big plays, which is to my mind, the
ideal combination.
"Here we will have stars of known
merit, and a play which I think is
above the average and to say that
am in favor of starless productions
Fer se-emphatically NO" :

FOR THE POULTRY
GROWER

Hens of the medium-sized breeds
Plymouth Rocks, WyandOttes, Rhode
Island Reds and Orpingtons-are best
suited to backyard conditions. Large
hens kept in close confinement are like
ly to get too fat to lay well. Small,
nervous hens are apt to develop such
vices as egg eating and feather eating.
The bad tendencies mentioned do not
prohibit the keeping Of large and small
breeds in small back yards, but makes
1t necessary for the keeper to use ex-
traOrdinary care to keep them in good
condition and productive. White and
light-colored varieties are not desira-
BILE for small back yards, because their
plumage soils too easily.
AS rule 1t Is most satisfactory to
buy hens Of local poultry keeper or
dealer in live poultry. Desirable small
fiocks are frequently offered by people
who are obliged by change Of work or
Of residence to sell their poultry. Deal
ers in live poultry everywhere sort out
from their general receipts the hens
that show good breeding and quality to
sell to back yard poultry keepers.
When satisfactory stock cannot be OBJ
tanned locally, the advertising columns
Of newspapers should be consulted, and
the hens bought from the nearest
breeder who can supply what Is want
ed at reasonable price.
For the back yard flock kept to pro-
duce eggs, 1t is not necessary to have
hens of extra good standard quality.
What breeders Of standard poultry call
choice utility hens are as good as any
for egg production and cost but little
more than ordinary mongrels. Hens
Of this grade in the medium-sized
breeds usually are little under stand
ard weights, and have superficial
faults, as unsoundness Of color, or ir-
regularity of markings or Of the shape
Of the comb, which In no way affect
their laying capacity, but make them
unfit for exhibition and undesirable for
breeding purposes.
When buying hens in person partic-
ular attention should be given to the
general condition-whether the bird
seems vigorous and lively, and to the
appearance of the comb and the cOndi-
ton Of the feet. Healthy hens have
bright red combs and bright eyes. A
slight paleness Of the comb is simply
an indication that the hen is not laying
at the time; but bird whose comb has
either yellowish or blush cast should
be rejected, for these are symptoms Of
internal disorders. The skin and scales
of legs and toes should be smooth, and
the soles Of the feet soft and free from
corns.
The Twin City star., 1918-05-11
Split Infinitive.

The "split infinitive" is term used
by critical grammarians to designate
the placing Of an adverb or a phrase
between an infinitive and its sign to-"
thus separating or discOnnecting the
infinitive from a word that properly
belongs to It. Following are exam
pies: II went there In order to per-
sonally inspect It," instead of II went
there in order to inspect 1t person
ally" or 'in order personally to in
spect it," "the acid is allowed to
slowly percolate";; "the glare of the
fire seemed to completely light the
city" Each Of these sentences splits
the infinitive by placing words be-
tween the infinitive and the "to" that
belongs to 1t.

Make FireIess Cooker.


"A tightly built box, an old trunk, a
galvanized-iron ash can,, candy
bucket, tin lard can, a lard tub, and
butter firkin are some Of the con-
tainers that have been used successful
ly in the construction Of fireless cook
ers.
The inside container or nest which
holds the vessel of hot food may be
a bucket Of agate, galvanized-iron or
tin. This nest must be deep enough to
hold the radiator and the vessel Of
food but not large enough to leave
much space, as the air space will cool
the food. The inside container must
have tight-fitting cover, and straight
sides are desirable.
The packing or insulation must be
some material which is a poor con-
ductor of heat. The following ma
terials may be used and they should
