First Episode Of Motion
Picture Showing Action
In Bible Is Completed

Making motion picture photo drama
of the Holy Bible that is the task now
under way in Burbank, Calf The Sa-
cred Films, Inc, announce that the i'm
mensc equipment OF scenery and prop
critics and the thousands of men and
women who Will 60 to make up the diff
ferent casts have been obtained.
The first episode OF the work. it is
said, has been completed, after almost
duction has been completed there viii
have been placed on the screen the
cpisodes lnciudcd in the Bible, from
Creation to the Ascension.
Special studio equipment and facili-
ties were required, and an extraordi-
nary studio had to be erected. The
usual studio environs were not suitable
for the subject matter, and after a
long and arGNous search 1900 acres of
the most beautiful land scenically in
California became part of the Sacred
Films, Inc, holdings.
Several trips by camera men to the
original lands of the people of the
Bible were made necessary, it is said
IN order to show IN exact detail and
effect the sacred and reverenccd loca-
tions.
The first finished episode of two
reels, the standard of length for the
fifty-four or more episodes to follow
is masterpiece of artistic photog-
raphy and dramatic value, and each
succeeding episode will be an i'm
provemcnt upon it's predecessor.
1t has been from the outset the pur-
pose Of the Sacred Films, Inc, to pic
turize the subject literally from Crea-
tion to the Ascension, with no de-
parture from the written word, and
this purpose has not been devated
from, nor viii II be-
All dogmatism, all of sect or creed,
bias or prejudice has been eliminated
in the production, and the visualized
version is what its producers intended
and the people have long desired. an
actual and exactly literal perturbation
of the most interesting and inspiring
book Of all books.

Actors, as Well as Public,
Should Heed Colvil Dunn's
Remarks ON Correct English

The treatment of the English Ian
guage on the stage and the effect of
proper diction upon the theater- going
public as discussed in the dramatic
news columns Of The Tribune recently
by Colvl Dunn, the Chronicler in
"Abr1ham Lincoln,' has been referred
to b. a Montclair reader and additional
comment made. Hts letter, addressed
to The Tribune, follows:
"Montclair, Sept. 81.
"The Dramatic Editor of The New
"Sir: was much interested in your
publication recently of an interview
with Mr.. Dunn, the accomplished
Chroniclcr in John Drinkwater's play,
'Ahraham Lincoln
"What Mr. Dunn said about the value
of the stage in the education of the
people y the use of correct English is
true and lust, and he himself has been
furnishing = striking example of the
beauty. the majesty and musical ca
dence Of our English speech.
"But Mr., Dunn was somewhat sweep

he aid not qualify his praise by say
irg the stage has its beneficent and in
sliring ministry only when our actors
do not clip off their words, when their
pronunciation is not faulty, when their
intOnauons are not common, when
their voices are not harsh and un-
musical
"Mr. Dunn was too modest, too cour-

but if he had been disposed to criticize
he would have found many of our
actors who do not give words their full

New Violinist Has
Had Romantic Career

There is romance in the story of
new violinist, Nasa Prihoda. who will
be heard here for the first time this
season.
Prihoda was born in Nodnanv. Do-
hemia. on AUGUST "a, 1900, and studied
at the Conservatory of Prague under
Marak, the teacher of Kubelk and
other virtuosi. Too young to enter
the army, he continued his studies
throughout the war, but at its close
found there was no field for him in
the Central Empires. Biddinc his
teacher goodby, he told him he was
going Ground the world, and set out for
Italy. The rate of exchange so re-
duced the value of his money that he
became stranded with a companion at
Zurich. The youths arranged con-
cert and with the proceeds made their
way to Milan, walking the last few
miles.
Last Christmas Day he and his com
panion were down to 70 centimes, and
with this they bought breakfast
dinner-supper of bread and one apple,
which they ate in the streets Pass
ing the little restaurant La Grandc
Italia, they noticed a sign on the door.
Concert. Artists wanted" They
entered, and Prihoda offered to play
in return for meal. Signor Fer
rario, the proprietor, consented, and,
borrowing a violin from the small or
cnestra, Prihoda played two of his
own compositions. Gaetano Pavagnoli,
oretime conductor at the Metropolitan
Opera House, was so pleased with his
playing that he arranged a concert
fer Prihoda at the Permanente, and
within a week the young artists future
was assured. Concert followed con
cert.
RevolutionSts were rioting in the
square on which his hotel fronted in
Lucca when he drove back from his
concert. followed by the usual en-
thusiastic Italian crowd. Hearing the
counter shouting, the rioters paused
and watched the music lovers, who al
ternately cheered and demanded that
Prihoda play for them once more. Pres
emily Prihoda appeared on the hotel
balcony and began to play. The rioters
moved closer, mingled with the listen
ing crowd and joined in the applause
when the strains of the violin died
away. Thoughts of their revolutionary
meeting passed from their minds, and
they forgot the rendezvous on their
way to. which they had halted for the
demonstration which changed itself
into concert.
At the close of the season in Italy
Prihoda went to South America, where
ne is now concluding similar tour.
His tour of the United States and
Canada is limited to ffty-siX concerts,

HUGE TURNOVER
FOR FARM LANDS
HANDLED HERE
Deals Aggregatins Total Of
$60,000,0OO Take Place
On First of Month.

Nebraska farm land deals aggre-
eating a total of about $60,O0O,0OO
were consummated yesterday, ac-
cording to estimates of Omaha
bankers, who also estimate that a
cash turnover of $l5,000,000 in loans
on farm land by Omaha banking in
stitufions occurred today in settle
ment OF March l payments.
The volume of this turnover Is
greater than ever before in the his
tory of the state, due to the large
number of deals negotiated and
much higher prices which prevailed
on Nebraska land, according to M.
d. Cameron, vice president of the
Peters Trust company.
The cash turnover of the Peters
Trust company alone was approxi-
mately $3,000,000, Mr.. Cameron
said. This company quit taking
farm land loans for March l SET
Elements about February 10, accord
ing to Mr.. Cameron.
Financial Strength Sufficient.
ut is my belief that there is suf-
ficient financial strength in the coun-
try to stand this March l turnover
in spite of the great increase in the
volume of deals" he declared.
The estimate of $l5,000,000 as the
turnover by Omaha banking institu-
tons, which is generally accepted as
correct, represents only the loans
based on about 40 per cent of the
valuation of the land and indicates
that the value of Nebraska lands
changing hands at this time is about
$40,000,000, according to Fred w.
Thomas, vice president of the First
National bank.
"As these loans do not include
land transfers where the entire con-
sideration was cash or where the
loan was handled by an individual
or by country banking institution
it is safe to assume that the value of
the entire amount of land changing
hands today would be not less than
$60,000,000," Mr.. Thomas said.
Banks in Good Condition.
The amount of loans would have
been greater had many eastern in
surance companies not stopped
making loans, due to tight money
conditions in the east caused by un-
satisfactory foreign conditions.
Omaha banking institutions are in
excellent condition, and will not be
affected by the turnover"
Commenting on the situation
Arthur Thomas of the Chamber of
Commerce bureau of publicity de-
clared that Investigations during the
past week showed that there had
been no falling off in sales, and that
there was no apprehension of any
handicap to business because of
heavy land financing today.
Bankers feel that the spring deals
will be taken care of with little dis
turbance to business and that when
the money market loses some of its

DIFFERENCE OF OPINION

Attorney General Healy says that
 the special session of the legislature had power to ratify the 18th amend
 ment ito tho constitution. and that
 won/a in Connecticut may register to@ become electors September IS, v vote in this state for town officers " tho first Monday in October. He Axes this stand on the theory that matters other than the one announc- | ed in the proclamation calling for last Tuesdays special session. may be acted upon.
 Tho objection was made that the call for the special session last Tues day was only that voters might be made. tho proclamation not calling for ratification.
 Former Governor Simeon l.. Bald win. also former Chief Justice diff fors. He says that the ratification by the Legislature last Tuesday was questionable.
 Attorney General Healy cites the constitution of Iowa. winch has a provision regarding action by a special session similar to our own. that at a special session, laws may be legally enacted which could be passed at q regular session. The Iowa courts have thus interpreted this provision. / If would seem, therefore, with all respect to the opinion of the former a fV4@# the 18th amendment last Tuesday was legal. and that another session is not necessary. Where there is no decision of a high court in our own tho lawyers can do is to find similar circumstances in another state and which the high court of that state has passed. and follow that decision. This Attorney General HeaIy has done. and his. it would seem, is the better opinion.
 His discussion of the matter in Ten nessee is more doubtful in reasoning. but correct in conclusion, namely that the ratification there by a majority and it's promulgation, constituted legal ratification of the amendment The "reeonsideratioq' was ineffective.
 And apropos of the Attorney Gen erals opinion that any matters may be acted upon in a special session which are capable of action at a regular session, 1t is thought that Governor Holcomb's warning to the contrary effect should not prevent a special session from taking up the all-im- portant rent, matter.
