FIRST TRAVEL0GUE
DESCRIBES BELGIUM

The first of the series of FIVE Bur
ton Holmes travelogues to be giver
at the National theater this seasoI
was delivered by the noted traveller
and lecturer there last night. TIL,
picture-talk, about Belgium, will also
be given this afternoon at 4:3O.
All Of Mr.. Holmes lectures thi,
season have to do with the war-torr
districts of France and Belgium ane
the occupied territory of the Rhine.
1t was natural that the first pictures
should deal with Liege, where the
brave Belgian army held back the
invading Huns until France could
mobilize and unready Britain could
partially prepare. The story closed
at Ypres, where the ruins Of the Cloth
Hail. magnincently pictured. will
stand forever as monument to the
dogged resistance OF the British
Tommy who for four long years stop
ped the further advance Of the best
troops of the Hun.
Burton Holmes lows the art of
grouping picture and presenting
scenes Of such picturesque beauty
that mere words could not describe.
He was able to show that many Of
the most attractive spots In Belgium
have been spared the ravages Of war
.quaintest Of all its ancient cities, al
though occupied by. the enemy had
lost none OF their beauty and charm,

The tow barge Miztic. carrying lum-

She was the third boat to go down
in Lake Superior this fall. The others
were the H E. Runnels and the John
Owen.

In a storm that whipped the cold
water of Lake Superior to spray,

From the very beginning-even be-
fore the rise of the first curtain
until the last few minutes, here's a
play thatn keep you wondering;
that'll hold you in your seat. all at
tention. all mystification- It's one of
those sort of things at which theater
parties sit between the acts and tell
each other just who fred the shot
and each one has a different theory.
Just before the curtain rises-with
the house in darkness, there comes q
shot-so sudden that gasps of shock
are audible throughout the audience.
Then the stage-empty. A hammer
ing at the door; affrighted voices. A
mother bursts into the room with
two policemen.
The air is heavy with the scent of
powder. But there is no one in the
room-Howard Clayton, the boy who
was in there. is missing. At last one
of the policemen opens the door or a
closet, and the youths form plunges
headforemost to the floor. shot
thruogh the back.
From that point on there is devel-
opened a mystery drama in which the
suspense at times is such that hys-
terical litter sweeps through the au.
dience at bit Of tightening dialogue.
Suspician is directed first at one, then
at another. Fully five persons would
seem to be guilty-each has reason
for wishing the death of the Clayton
son. who seems to have been a rather
worthless sort of individual.
! But eventually, as in plays of this
nature, it is revealed in the last few
minutes that the shooting was done
by-oh, well. go and see for yourself.
We won't spoil IL for you.
AS for the cast, few better could
Z have been chosen. Particularly not
able Is the work of John Cromwell
as the detective captain Mr.. Crom-
wells conception of the role is above
all natural-there is no braggadocio
no hogging the center of the stage,
| no overacting despite innumerable
| temptations. Above all, he is the
, quiet. determined crime investigator
without any of the farcical frills with
which more imaginative fiction has
burdened "super-detectives." His work
| stands out.
From among the others, one can
| with difficulty choose any deserving
of a greater quantity of commenda-
| ton than another. Perhaps because
| their parts give them more to do and
say. one must mention Marie Con and
| Kenneth MacKenna, both Of whom
play characters who are placed under
suspicion of the shooting.
! To Idalene Cotton, as Margaret
Clancy, falls a character role that Is
as exceilently played as 1t is difficult
The others all appear to excellent adj
vantage, all contributing much to the
| success of the play.
With plays of the caliber Of "At
e:45," the Garrick will easily enjoy
box office prosperity-particularly
when one considers that A Bruce
Healy's snappy, peppy orchestra,
which had been sadly lacking since
the termination of the stock season,
has returned, once again, to put real
life into those heretofore dreary in
| termissions.

ABOUT HAND GRENADES

l San Francisco, September Blanks of the Twelfth Federal Reserve Dls' I trict have ordered 60,O00 hand gre nades which were ready for shipment to the A. E. when the Armistice was signed and which have been ol- dered turned over to the Treasury De partment for use as saving banks to stimulate thrift The only alterna- ton made in the grenades to convert them into saving banks was the re- moval of the TINT charge and the cut ting of a slot as a coin way.
 The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, which is handling the dis tribution of the grenades to the banks and trust companies, anticipates ord CTS aggregating 100000 of the war souvenirs. Robert E. Smith, direct or of the War Loan Organization for the Twelfth Federal Reserve District, said: These American-made hand gre nades constitute one of the best souv- enirs of the war one could possibly get Some months ago an eastern 1 firm managed to- get some of them and disposed of them rapidly at ode dollar each'.
 It is planned to distribute the gre made banks to the public through the banks and trust companies exclusive ly. The only condition imposed by the Treasury Department are that to gain ownership of a grenade:
 ! Persons 1 to 12 years of age must purchase one s War Saving Stamp.
 Persons 12 to IS must purchase at least two $5 War Saving Stamps. Persons over IS years must buy either one s160 or one 5000 Treasury
 Saving Certificate which is the big brother to the War Saving stamp bear ing the same four per cent interest compounded quarterly and running fol five years.
 Naturally the supply of grenades is limited', said Director Smith. Ord i CTS for them will be filled in the ord CT received and after the supply is exhausted, no more will be manufact. ,ured. Eastern banks and trust com panies have asked for hundreds o thousands of them. Tn all the War Department had only 15,000,00O' | The grenades are expected to arrive
 in San Francisco within thirty days.

MAKING WHISkEY STILLS yIS NEW OUTDOOR SPORT
 IN SALT RIVER VALLEY

Phoenix, August 14.-Large numbers of stills for the manufacture of pure corn whiskey are being made and used right in the city of Phoenix and just as many more are being used in va rious hidden places around the coun- ty, according to Sheriff Montgomery. The sheriff stated yesttrday he was well aware certain industries in Phoe- nix were furnishing materials for the making of stills, but that it was next to impossible to secure evidence against the manufacturers of whis- key, due to the fact that the stills are small and it is easy to attach them to nearby sewer, thus stifling all odors that might betray their presence.
 Evidence that hundreds of dollars worth of corn whiskey is being made hereabouts was secured a few days ago when a we'll set up still was con- fiscated west of the city. The run of liquor, had it been allowed to go through before the arrest of the man in cahrge, would have been worth over 1,SO0.s < The still had a capacity Of IA barrels :~ T /,
 The whiskey which is being made is pure white in color and contains a large percentage of alcohol The fed eral authorities are handicapped in searching for the illicit stills by short age of field men in this vicinity, but the sheriff is cooperating with them and the two officers together are do- ing everything possible to make it hot for the whiskey makers.
