"ONCE TO EVERY
WOMAN" MEETS
EXPECTATIONS

1t isn't always that a photoplay
comes UP to expectations. "Once to
Every Woman" the first showing OF
which was given at the Augusta OPP
era house yesterday however not
surpasses them. The amazing Uni
versai Jewel photodrama Of laughter
and tears presents the unusually tai
ented Dorothy Phillips in role in
which she surpasses even her work
in "The Heart of Humanity"
The story deals with a small town
girl who is discovered to have a voice.
She is sent to Italy to study, wins her
laurels at the Metropolitan Opera
House and smiles condescendingly
down on the world at her feet. How
she learns that selfishness is the
greatest blight on happiness, forms
!, the theme of the story.
Miss Phillips unusual versatility
has. wide scope in "Once to Every
Woman" She depicts the role Of .
school girl. student in Italy, and
later a star of the Metropolitan. The
production. bears the stamp of Allen
Hoiubar's masterful direction and is
one of the most deliberately produced
photodramas of the decade.
The work of Robert Andersen and
Rodolph Valentino in the leading
male roles is Of a high standard. An
dersen appears as the small town low
or, while Valentino depicts the role
of an Italian sutton.

ADJUSTMENTS
MEDDLER
INTO TROUBLE
AS is USUAL

The lot of the meddler is an UNI
comfortable one. 1t has always
been so and it always will. The rule
holds true in 1.-The 14th Man," the
snappy new Paramount AIRCRAFT pic
ture in which Major Robert Warwick
will be seen at the Colonial theatre
today. The star goes through all
kinds Of adventures before the play
is done. AS a matter of fact, he is a
romantic adventurer in the play and
as the Scotch captain does some OF
the best work of his career.
But Warwick isn't the only star Of
this new play. Bebe Daniels is in it
and has 4 prominent role. Norman
Selby who used to be known as Kid
Mccoy in the old days is also one Of
the prominent performers. He and
Warwick have boxing match that
is worth going long ways to see.
The Kid trained Warwick for the
bout and as the Major is no mean
amateur boxer himself when the
time came for shooting" the scene
the scrap developed into a real ham
mer and tongs affair.
1.-THE 14th Man. was adapted from
f. Anstoy's 1.-THE Man from Blank
ley's" in which Charles Hawtry, the
well known English actor, starred on
the stage for several years. The CEN
tral figure is a Scottish captain, who
is forced to flee Great Britain because
of an encounter with superior Off
Ger. He comes to the bohemian art
lists colony in New York and
through a chance acquaintance with
a pretty girl is indicted into fresh
series of adventures.
Another unusually good thing
scheduled for showing today is the
stwo-reel comedy "a Hero N Ev'ry-
thing" which is said to be one of the
funniest ever offered at the Colonial,
: The tenth episode of Elmo the
Fearless" is full of excitement while

Restoring Old Writings
On Ancient Parchment
{By Associated Pres

Rome, Oct. 23-Tn the middle ages
when parchment cost even more than
paper costs nowadays, it was the
custom to scrape old documents in or
Ger to use the parchment again for
writing Thus manuscripts of inestim
able value were thus lost to the world.
Students and archaeologists have de-
voted much time and labor trying TO
decipher these palimpsests, as they are
called. and the work has usually been
done by removing the later writing with
some chemicals and then trying to de-
cipher the half-erased script under
meath.
Professor Giuseppe Perugi, Of Viter-
bo, distinguished by his studies in pal
geography, has lately announced the
discovery of Photographic treatment
whereby the original script returns tc
view entirely distinct from what has
been written above It. One Of Pro-
lessor Perugi's latest achievements has
been to reproduce from under an IN
interesting religious composition of the
18th century, the entire 6th Canto OF
Dante's Paradise. The erasure of the
poem took place about the middle OF
the 10th century. little more than 1od
years after the death of the great
poet, and the manuscript win be OF
value for students to ascertain wheth-
er any alterations have crept into the
text since that time. There is no say
Ing what treasures may not eventually
be discovered by this means.
1t is believed that the system will
also be used for the scientific investi-
cations OF the police or in order to de-
tect forgeries and alterations in busi-
ness documents or paper money.

Beer and light wines are SO much a

dry land seem to drink constantly,

To Americans, however, the most dis
agreeable and sickening picture is the
hobo from home. a hopeless, wretcheG
figure that infests hotel Hobbies. His
panhandling is brazen. They pick out
people speaking their own tongue, and
without shame boldly announce that
they want money for. drinks They
