NEW YORK.-A blue light. A
snow scene in the far reaches of the
north.
An orange light. Presto! The
snow scene is now the interior of a
Turkish harem.
Thus works the magic of light and
q new process of scenic painting de-
vised by Nikolas de Lipsky.
This scenery innovation is a revo-
luton within the modern theatre. 1t
does away with changing the CYCLIC
ramas, or back curtains.
Three scenes a be painted on the
same canvas. Only n will show
under a certain light. A turn of the
switch to flood the scene with an
other light reveals q new scene and
the other is invisible.
In a neutral light the setting
would be unintelligible.
De Lipsky worked on the process
five years. He is a young Russian.
Nine. Boutovsky, a Russian painter
living in Paris, has developed the
same technique.
The first theatres in America to
make use of the innovation will be
the Rivoli, Rialto and Criterion, New
York movie houses.
Hugo Riesenfeld directs those the
aires. He Is responsible for the in
PRODUCTION of many novelties in seem
cry, p%rologues and other features of
presentation.
w. 7. Benda's masks for dancers
were first shown in the Criterion. In
q current dance the performer
changes masks to appear in three
characters.

News of the World
One gains an idea of how thor
oughly the world is combed for pic
lures by scanning the schedule of a
new series of Kineto reviews. Six
reels were taken in America and six
in foreign countries.
Two chemical subjects were made
by a London professor. A study of
insect intelligence was made in
Athens, Greece. A scenic is from
Switzerland, another from the River
Nile and another from Brazil. An
other picture is being made in Asia
Minor.

suffer the consequences. And these
consequences will be the ruination
of the picture amusement business.
But even so. all the blame cannot be
attached to the producers. If they
find a sex play draws. they make
another. believing the public want
that class of pictures and that the
theatre managers also want it, being
deluded into the fact that it fills the
desires of their patrons.
But such ideas are all wrong and
unless the making of such a class of
productions is not stopped at once,
/ for one will do all in my power to
remedy such conditions. Should the
time ever come when I can't secure
productions which anyone a see

ment, 1 will close by theatre at once"

Imagination

Julien JOSephSon wrote The City
Feller," an original scenario to be
produced by Goldwyn. He pictures
a big city. satirizing the city dude
and placing the rural swain in his
most favorable light.
Yet Josephson has never seen a
subway nor an elevated. He has
never been farther east than Los An
geles.
Which proves, to some, that all a
good writer needs is an active imag-
nation.

: artistic value of pictures gained by
having the author supervise the pro-
duction of his story.
In view of that Rex Beach has just
issued an interesting statement re-
garding his 1.-THE Iron Trail" now
being made into a movie.
Il realize that the exhibitor is
really selling seats and not pictures
and hat to sell his seats he must
nave pictures with selling angles"
says Beach.
And 1 have had that fact con-
stantly in mind during the making
of THE Iron Trail"
1t is refreshing to hear an author
frankly admit that he isn't in the
movies for the sake of art alone
that the literati do not shrink from
commercialism.

THE COUNTY FAIR

Mr.. c. A. Tunnel, secretary of the
Hope Chamber of Commerce, was in
the city yesterday attending to bust
ness matters.
Mr.. Tunnel is boosting the Free
Fall Fair, featuring agricultural ex-
hibits, livestock, poultry, and school
work. "The city of Hope" Mr.. Tun-
nell says, "is raising 81 800 to be Civ
en- in cash premiums and a premium
list covering every exhibit of a county
fair is now in preparation"
Secretary Tunnel says the citizens
generally are very enthusiastic and
he believes the three days fair, which
will be held the third week in October
at Hope, will be highly successful,
both from an entertainment and in
structive standpoint. The fair COM
mittee has promises of agricultural
exhibits from practically every com
munity of the county, and the faculty
of seventy-two schools of the county
has promised to take part in the
school program, which will be held
on the second day and will include a
track meet and school exhibits. A
feature of the fair is that all ques-
tionable shows and gambling devices
will be barred.
No admission or entrance fee will
be charged the public.

ALLOTMENT OF PIKE LABOR

Information comes to us that
farmers who have teams and
want to put them on the Wash

highway gravel haul have been
unable to do so, trucks being
used exclusively at this time.
There are about twenty of these
on the job, many of them being
owned by non-residents.
There is no doubt that every
thing else being equal the home.
man should be given the pref
erence in a matter of this kind.
Work is scarce, there are many
idle teams, and a large part of
the construction cost of the
highway will be borne by these
people in the form of an annual
tax levy. The Telegraph man
has talked this proposition over
with some of the parties in
charge of construction work
and they say teams will likely
be used on the job later, but the
present long haul (about six
miles) is said to be too long for
teams to make wages on the
haul. 1t is also said that it is
not practical to use trucks and
teams on the same haul unless
separate loading pits are used,
as the wagons block the trucks.
causing delay. 1t was indicated
that wagons would be used on
the shorter hauls provided a
steady force could be secured
sufficient to justify separate
loading pits and different sec
tions of the road on which to
place the gravel.
Having the brunt of the con-
struction cost to bear, we ap-
preciate the attitude of these
citizens and hope a plan can be
devised to give them all of this
work that they care to do. The
cost of this road must come out
of the section covered by the
district, so let us try and keep
possible by the use of home la

THE MIRROR OF
PUBLIC OPINION

Nobody need question the sincerity Of
President Harding,s expression of hope
in the presence OF the soldier caskets
that such a war will not happen again.
The fact remains that the President has
refused to have anything to do with the
only agency ever created which was in
vested with power to avert war or to
limit the scope Of war. Not only that,
but while Withholding all American par
ticipation. official Representatives of the
Harding administration are doing
everything that lies in their power TO
destroy the league TO which nearly fifty
other nations have adhered and which
they are endeavoring to make effective
for the preservation of the peace Of
the world
Mr. Harvey's London speech is inn
portant only to the degree that 1t repre-
sents the Presidents own opinion, and
nothing has yet come to light TO indi-
cate that George Brinton Mcclellan
Harvey was not the accredited spokes-
man OF Warren Gamaliel Harding Nor
has any means yet been found to
reconcile the foreign policies of the
Harding administration, in so far as
they are known, with an aggressive
desire to prevent another world war

wARRING ON OUR OWN MARKETS..

The Emergency Tariff bill has finally
passed both branches of Congress and
now goes to the President, whose sigma
ttire is anticipated as a matter Of
course.
Whatever this bin may pretend to be
as a protective measure. il is in fact d
declaration of war against the coun-
try's outside markets and is 50 accept
ed by those markets. and particularly
by those markets in the Western HEM
isphere of which Canada is the prinoi-
pal one. Our exports to Canada We're
amounting to some s4o0 100000 a year
before the great war. and last year
had risen almost to sgoo, ,a0o, 600 But a
recent letter TO The World from the
secretary Of the Sales Managers As
ISOLATION OF Canada spoke Of the
preparations being made to strike back
in case this bill should be enacted. Its
only effect up that way, he said, would
be TO "antagonize the Canadian people
against United States goods
As other outside markets for United
States goods are made up only Of hui
man beings, their response to the
Emergency Tariff bill can be
expected to resemble that OF
Canada. They will not be disposed 10
patronize markets which are trying to
block the way 10 patronage of their
own. and many of them are already
taking action accordingly. 1t is bin
