NAZIMOvA AT THE PRINCESS

NazimOva's spectacular and impress
sive picture Of the Far East, 'The Red
Lantern" which comes to the Princess
theater on Saturday of this week, is
undoubtedly the browning achievement
Of her screen career. II has been an

story of an Eurasian girl, whose mixed
blood caused her untold tragedy. only

this reason a bit of China is repro.

She endeavored 10 be true 10 both

in its mysterious way and the feast of
the Red Lantern sends ont it's quaint
aroma as II did a thousand years ago.
No actress has perhaps caught the
oriental spark as Nazimova has here
The vitality and magnetism OF her per-
fromance Is admirably emphasized, and
she delineates the characters surely,
easily and wildly. The picture is an
adaptation Of Edith Wherrie's novel Of
the same name and was directed by
Albert Capelani.

On Toada

"Many stories are extant tending TO
show that toads have been found alive
in rocks or In soil deep In the earth |;
yet so far as investigated by the writer
In no case has the evidence been at all
conclusive" says A. II. Kirkland In an
article on The Garden Toad" In Boys
Life. ION the other hand, experiments
have shown that toads may be kept
alive at least IS months sealed up In
plaster or limestone. There Is little
doubt that the toad may live TO be
20 years old. or more.
Though II lives alone In summer.
toads often hibernate In colonies OF
half a dozen or more. In feeding.
usually by night, the toad patrols a
fairly well-denned beat; garden and
flower beds are frsQuented, and par
ticularly the ground under arc lights,
where numerous insects fall futtering
from the lamps above. When food Is
abundant, as shown by experiments on
toads In cages, the animal eats an
equivalent Of four square meals daily,
consisting Of caterpillars, cut-worms,
beetles, ants, etc"

The "Pele Mele" (Paris) states In
recent Issue that the eggs of the dog.
Dish possess all the nutritive qualities
Of ordinary farm eggs. Until lately,
the dog-fsh was quite neglected by
fishermen and flung back into the sea
as worthless. but today the fish is be-
Ing actively sought by ships specially
fitted for this class OF fishing. The
eggs Of the dog-fish are frequently
found as large as hens eggs.
Tortoise eggs are considered a great
delicacy. and make excellent omelettes.
They are. however understood to be
not adapted for boiling; the white Of
the egg does not harden as In the or.
