MYSTERY OF YELLOW ROOM"
EXTRAORDINARY PICTURE

Last night at the Grand theatre,
patrons of that popular place were
treated to an exceptionally fine pro-
duction, and the intense interest was
felt by the rigid SILENCE. which pre-
vailed throughout the performance.
So lnystifying and deceptive was each
new angle, to the complicated plot,
that not one single spectator had any
idea of. who the criminal might be,
or how the crime was committed UNI
til the last few feet of the film was
run through 1t is the kind OF a de-
tective story that keeps one burning
the midnight oil to find out WHO the
villain is, rather than postpone the
reading of the story. =
On account of the extremely COM
plicated plot, it is absolutely impos-
sible for a spectator coming in" late,
to pick up the thread of the story,
and the management of the Grand
theatre urges that every person who
intends to see the picture, see it from
the beginning, either at 7:30 or 8
o'clock.
1.-THE Mystery of the Yellow Room"
will be shown tonight and Tuesday at
the Grand theatre, regular admission
prices prevailing.

HIGH AND LOW SOCIETY
COMPARED IN PH0T0PLAY

A striking contrast between the
high and low walks of life is drawn
in the photoplay, "a Daughter OF
Two Worlds" from the novel of the
same name by LIE Roy Scott, which
will be shown at the Rex theatre,
commencing tonight and again to-
morrow.
Norma Talmadge, who is starred as
Jennie Malone, plays the part of the
beautiful daughter of Black Jerry
Malone, keeper OF questionable
dance hall in the slums.
The ambitions of her father, who
is not as black as his name would
inicate, carry her out of Jail, through
fashionable boarding school for
girsl, and into society, where she
meets the man who wins her love.
The stigma of the past follows her
into her new environment, and a
dramatic situation arises when Jennie
learns that she alone can save from
the electric chair man who has been
wrongly convicted of murder.
An added feature will be a Fox
Sunshine comedy in two parts, also
one of the: popular Fox "World's
News" showing in illustration scenes
Of what one has read accounts Of in
the newspapers.

10 Hard to Reason.

1t is a fact, perhaps unfamiliar to
the average reader, that the illusion Of
"phantom limbs'-to borrow felicit-
GUS expression from DR.. Weir Mitchell

Is almost universal among persons who
have undergone an: amputation. Among
ninety cases, including 4 great variety
Of amputations, Mitchell found only
four in which, hsre had never been an
illusion of this kind.
One of the best discussions Of this
topic in that given ~ Weir Mitchell in
his book, Inquiries Of Nerves, pub
lished in 1872. The literature, how
ever, goes back to the sixteenth CEN
fury, when the phenomenon was we'll
described by Ambrose Pare. In re-
cent times Doctor Charcotz has given
some prominence to the subject.
The fact that a great deal has been
written on this subject does not, by
any means, imply that it is widely
familiar. We confess, says the Scien-
tiflc American, to being consumed with
curiosity to know why the great war

RUSSIAN LIBERTY" A FARCE
lenlns Maintains Himself In Power
only by tho Exercise Of Auto
cratic. Authority.

And another funny thing about
bolshevism is that while it affects to
despise the wage scale and the en-
ploying classes, Lenine himself is
probably the greatest single employ
er of labor in the world today, Por-
ter Emerson Browne writes in COL
lier's. Hundreds of thousands OF
men work for him by the day and
for a daily wage. They have no
rights that he respects. They can
not organize. And if they question
his supreme authority they are shot
at sunrise. And not only that, but
they are paid this daily wage for
killing their helpless fellows.
His is not even the excuse of war.
In his lust for power and his besot-
ted desire to demonstrate an UNI
workable theory, he sets Russian to
kill Russian. No economic tyranny
on earth ever equaled in autocratic
power of the individual, in abject
helplessness Of the masses, the free
dom of bolshevist Russia. The label
on the bottle says 'Iiberty," but the
contents are triple-distilled oppres-
zion.

REDEEMs HER PROMISE.

A promise made rs years ago has
just been redeemed by Lady Pender
of Donhead, St. Andrews, Willis.
At her silver wedding celebration
in 1892 she gave threepenny pieces
to a number of children, who were
told that they would be exchanged
for half-sovereigns at the golden
wedding.
Nearly thirty of the recipients re-
turned their silver coins when Sir
James and Lady Pender celebrated
their golden wedding this year, and
each one has received the promised
half-sovereign. :;t5

LITTLE PLATINUM IN SIGHT.


According to James NJ. Hill Of
the United States geological survey,
department Of the interior, there
seems to be little hope Of any
marked increase in the output Of
platinum in the United States or
Canada over the small output here
tofore made, and as the supplies are
below normal and the demand il
large, it is reasonably certain that
the price Of platinum metals in this
country during 1920 will be at least
as high as it was during the last
quarter Of 1919 and possibly higher.

HOW SCIENTISTS KNOW !?N,,
WHAT ELEMENTS
Mako ZIP sim AND STARS.

~ " WHAT ELEMENTS
Make UP SUN AND STARS.
When you read in a scientific
book that the sun Is made Of
certain substances, that the
stars Aldebaran. Sirius, Capel&a.
etc. are made of other SUBJ
stances, you wonder how this
can be known with such GER
taihty; for nobody has ever
been there to see. Neverthe-
less our knowledge of the COM
position Of the sun and stars is
almost as certain as that of the
elements. that so to make up
our own earth. And it is all due
to the spectroscope.
Isabel NJ. Lewis Of the United
States naval observatory. tells
in Electrical Experimenter just
how~it is done. When a ray
of Sunlight passes through a
a spectroscope (Which consists
essentially of a glass prism or
chain of prisms), it Is broken
up into its component parts,
which arrange themselves like a
rainbow, violet, indigo, blue,
green, yellow, orange, red, and
these + cOlors are crossed by
many flne dark lines called
Frauenhofer or absorption lines.
The shortest wave lengths are
in the violet and the longest in
the red; below the red are the
infra-red rays, invisible to the
naked eye but capable Of being
photographed on specially SEN
sitized plates. !.
An incandescent body under
high pressure gives up a band
Of pure color unbroken by cross
lines. If, however, cooler gases
are between us and the source
of the continuous spectrum they
absorb from the light beyond
just those rays of which they
themselves consist, and as re-
suit the band of color is crossed
by dark lines. Every chemical
element has it's own lines in the
spectrum, always in the same
place. So it is easy to identify
the element merely by observ-
ing the position Of the Frauen-
hOfer or absorption line in the
spectrum.
If the intervening gases be
hotter than the source Of light,
the lines they make on the
spectrum will be bright instead
of dark, but their position will
be unchanged.
