 This idea is carried out by clever con- trest showing how each of the four reacts to the lure of the city whether for fame. fortune, pleasure or happiness. It is a. striking study of humanity. brilliant in it's dramatic situations and set off by a background varied, dazzling, luxurious ano contrasting at all times.
 I There are four central characters in the story. First there is the little Rus sian dancer, portrayed by Miss Murray, who is seeking pleasure and luxury. She has no other thought Then there is the young southerner seeking fortune and happiness. The second woman is seeking happiness alone. while the second man is in search Of pleasure.
 Thse four persons are brought together, and their lives become apparently hope lessly entangled in cross purposes and thwarted ambitions But the author works out the solution to the tangle in an absorbing and dramatic manner.
 Miss Murray is supported by an excel- lent cast which includes that capable young actor, David Powell, as her lead ing man. Others are Alma Tell, Robert Schable. John Miltern and Ida Water man.

"On With the Dance" Brings Mae Murray, Follies Fauorite,
 To Strand in Gripping Drama

Mae Murray, former Follies favorite and delight of Broadway, in drama that fits her great charm and ability as a dancer, and supported by an excellent cast, is the entertainment to be offered movie fans at the Strand all this week, starting tomorrow.
 "on With the Dance" is the title of the latest Paramount-Artcraft feature in which the charming Miss Murray is starred.
 Miss Murray was the first of the Fol- lies favorites to attempt success before the camera, and her success was so n- stantanecus and sure that others have followed, hut Broadway has never for given the films for taking Miss Murray away from then1 During her years in musical comedy she was the ideal of New York and all of the-~charm that made her so popular on the stage is shown in "On With the Dance,' in which she will be seen for the first time here tomorrow.
 "On With the Dance" could provide no other star than Miss Murray such per- feet vehicle. It fits her charming and dramatic ability perfectly, and then pro- vides her the opportunity to display her grace as a dancer.
 The story views the metropolis from an entirely new angle, and it is based on

the ones who lack the soul in the first place.
 This idea has been wonderfully built up in the absorbing story of "On With the Dance," and the picture has been staged with the layishness that marks all of the Paramount-Artcraft special productions. Georfie Fitzmaurice, who directed the picture, is master of film art, and it shows in his staging of "On With the Dance."
 The night life of New York, which tries the souls of men and women and finds the true is depicted wonderfully reals- tically The scenes carry one from the tough cafes of the underworld to the glittering cabarets of uptown New Yorf, where wealth and beauty congregate in the pursuit of pleasure.

 It is quite usual to hear persons say that big city is responsible for some ones going wrong. This has come to be the generally accepted idea, and the big city is blamed for many human frail- ties. The author of "On With the Dance had this in mind when he wrote the play in which the charaming Mae Murray, former Foilies favorite. will be featured at the Strand all this week.
 "On With the Dance considers New York; the greatest city in the world, from an entirely new angle. New York is usually looked upon as a sort of mon ster which devours every one that comes within its limits. In "On With the Dance New York is a refining fire, an influence which melts away the drops and leaves the dross and leaves only the pure gold, and only those destroyed are

ish in settings that has ever been filmed. The cabaret was built at the Famous Players-Lasky studios in New York.
 Weeks were spent in the working out of the details and having them perfect before the first scene was shot. Several hundred extras, two jazz bands, famous professional dancers and the entire corps of walters from a Broadway lobster pal ace were engaged for the production ot this one scene.
 Some of the most famous figures on the screen and stage in New York are seen at the tables. Few episodes ever filmed have been more elaborate or bril- liant than this scene.

 But this is only one phase of the life of New York, The author has shown many sides of the varied life of the big city. There is big modiste's shop, the stock exchange, a tough dance hall. prize fight, the oriental luxury of hand some apartments and various other angles on the life of the metropolis.
 These are but backgrounds for the story of "On With the Dance" which deals with the effect of the city upon the lives of four people. Rather than plac- ing the responsibilities of the destinies of these four persons on the city, it is

Origin Of Madonna Lily

Lilium Candidum, native of South
ern Europe, was introduced in 1896
making it the Oldest lily in cultivation
1t is not only the lovilest of lilies but
the hardest of the white lilies. Some
gardeners may be inclined to dispute
the hardness of this lily, probably
from the fact that they have pur
chased what looked like fine, strong
bulbs, but were not careful to inquire
where they were grown.
Great quantities of candidum lily
bulbs are grown in the warm climate
of Southern France, and these bulbs
planted in the autumn do not stand
severe winters well, while bulbs from
Northern France can be depended on
to thrive if properly treated.
Ben Johnson referred to the Ma
donna lily when he asked: "Haye
you seen but a white lille blow?'
Maeterlinck said of it: 1.-THE great
white lily, the old lord of the gardens
the only authentic prince among all
the commonalty issuing from the
kitchen garden, the bitches, the
copses. the pools and the moors
among the strangers come from none
knows where, with his invariable siS
petalled chalice of silver, whose no
bility dates back to that of the gods
themselves the immemorial lily raises
his ancient scepter, august, inviolate
which creates around it a zone o.
chastity, silence and light

The Robins Food

The small fruit that the bird con-
sumes is only his dessert after meat
bird. He may be doing one a great
service. Probably you will find that
he has not eaten the young apple after
all, but has dropped it on the ground.
If the robin plucks small apples
from ones tree, it would be well to
examine the apple before killing the
little further investigation will show
that it contained larva of the de-
sructiye codling moth 1.-The bird was
not after the apple, but the larva.
Nesting birds live wholly on insect
food. There were once watched pair
of robins that had their nest on
porch cap. From the time the young
were Matched until they were ready
to leave the nest, the parents visited
them on an average of once every
fifteen minutes, and brought at each
visit from one to three insects.
