w Bill" in a character role Is
almost a new thing to ad-
mirers OF the big westerner's work
before the camera, for his wonderful
success in film work has been in
depicting the life of the big outdoors
in which he himself grew up. In

which he is to appear 1T the Rialto
this week Bill isn't any kind of an
outdoors man, in fact the picture is
a highly dramatic story of habitue
of the Barbary Coast, for years and
years reputed to be the TOUCHES st
place in America. la

The success of "The Poppy Girls
Husband" with American audiences
will undoubtedly have a great deal
to do with Harris future pictures.
II his new work is liked by the many
fans who gone and seen him where
ever he has been advertising in the
past it will probably mean that he
will forsake to a great degree the
westerns in which he made his fame
and make more of the other sort of

Fannie Ward, the star of "The
Narrow PATH" at the Muse this
week, has simple taste in the wear
ing Of jewels, though, as a recent
appraiser remarked, she could go
into the Diamond Horseshoe of the
Metropolitan and make the cele-
brated blaze of gems look like the
apologize Pickering of field of
rhinestones.
Miss Ward began her great ad-
venture in gems when she became
the bride of the late Joseph Lewis,
many times millionaire, who was
associated with Barney Barnato,
Wolf Joel and others in the opera
ton of South African diamond
mines. Her largest diamond is
called THE Rose of the Rand" She
possesses every variety and color of
rare stones and some of the most
exquisite work of the famous gold
smiths of Europe and Asia; but, of
course, diamonds are the principal
possession. One brilliantly regal
piece she has worn on exceptional
occasions, When this coronet
crowned her for the first time a
London society writer fittingly
styled her the real Queen of Dia-
monds. Many crowned heads might
we'll have envied it.
The coronet contains 1000 flaw
less white stones, ranging in weight
from one-half karat to four karats,
known in, the diamond trade as brill
3liants. AT the base of the crown
band of brilliants, set in squares,
supports the forettes which form
the wall of the tiara. Besides the
1000 diamonds Of which the tiara is
composed. there are also Is large
white oriental pearls, which average
from IS to Is grains each and are
valued at 100000. The diamonds
in the coronet represent value of
100000 The frame is of silver and
the settings are all of silver.

The kind that crawls around 'on
the floor of the sea? Or, did you

its domain to the high-powered rae
ing car that speeds over terra firma

speed fish and many others, such as
gold and silver fish, pelieans and
sea-lions, are disclosed in their nat
ural colors by the Prizma natural
color film, "Cataline," which will be
featured at the Strand theater begin
