1.-THE PRICE O REDEMPTION"
AT REX SUNDAY AND MON

The Rex treatre, for two days pre-
sents the popular young Metro star
in his newest screen production and
establishes new record in providing
entertainment for his admirers.
"The Price of Redemption" is a
screen adaptation of l. A. R. Wylie's
famous novel, "The Temple of Dawn
and as such depicts life in the dark
heart of India. Mr.. Lytell enacts the
role of young English army officer
who first wins fame as hero for q
deed of exceptional bravery, and then
returns to London and marries
wealthy girl. Following his mar
riage, which is loveless, he assumes
the guilt Of another for murder ano
returns to India, where he sinks into

a slough of degradation, running HIM
self with drink and drugs.
1t is then that his wife, married by
now to a scoundrel, comes to India
and finds her former husband in the
mire he has sunk in. He is finally
redeemed, however, by the love of his
little child, and fights his way back
to his place among men.
Mr.. Lytell's portrayal Of Leigh Der
ing, the young Englishman, presents
a marvellous study in the downfall of
man through drink and drug addic-
ton. Those who recall the acting of
the popular young Metro star in 'The
Right of Way" and calais Jimmy Val
entire" will take increased pleasure
in his mastery performance in "The
Price Of Redemption"

."The young men of Ireland are going

thur Griffith, vice president Of the
Irish 'Republic," to the United

to be the "doctrinaire" of Sim Fem.
Because of his reported moderate
views he has been unmolested by the
British authorities. :.
each generation in the past, y

In the same way the name
of Volta, another LATHAM,
who developed the first sue
cessful electric battery, is
used to designate "Voltage,"
which is:
The electrical pressure
which sends electric current
through a wire; just as
"pressure'' designates the
force which sends water
through a pipe. Thus a 49,
volt" current of electricity
differs from "120-volt' cur
rent of electricity as a Is
pound water pressure differs
from a 30-pound water pres
sure.
Water is tran m i t t ed
through hollow pipes; cleo
trio energy through solid
wires. Water runs through
the hole in the pipe, the out
side of which confines and
presents the loss of the wa
ter. In the transmission OF
electrical energy the copper
core of the wire corresponds
to the "hole" in the pipe, and
the insulation corresponds to
the pipe itself, combining and
preventing the escape OF
electric energy, or current.
