Here's a picture that's different
different, only in location, for the
story is laid in South America. It's
just a pleasing, simple little story,
with no great, big problems, but a
delightful little yarn of New York
"flapper," who in pursuit Of "some-
thing different" went to visit an old
friend, away down in Central Amer
lea, where she innocently enough be-
comes embroiled in one of those
"two-cent revolutions" is captured
and held as spy by Don Mariana
Caldron, a brother of the president Of
this Scent republic.
Now, had Alicia been in a more
humble from of mind, she doubtless
would have welcomed her captivity,
for Dan Mariana was a most thrill
ing looking chap. But it pleases
Alicia to be very naughty and digni-
fed and Don Mariana is very proud
and. haughty-and he laughs at Ali
cia when she tries to bride him with
a kiss .whereupon She DISCUSSES
herself in a native costume and tries
to escape.
It s all very light and frivolous
but charmingly done. The settings,
which represent the home of Don
Mariana and of Don Luis, his "bo-
som enemy" are entirely adequate
The little "fiapper's" name is
Alicia Lee, played by Constance Bin
ney; Don Mariana is portrayed by
Ward Crane; Lucy Fox, Crane Will
bur and Gertrude Hillman, are the
other members of the cast in this
Realart picture, shown at the Alca-
Ear Monday only.
Miss Binney is very pretty and
very smart-looking in her "Ameri-
can" clothes, and downright charm
ing in the black lace Spanish cos
tune.

Solution to Problem

To the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir-Some time ago the following problem
appeared In the Peoples Forum. and. so
far as l know, remains unanswered:
III perfect sphere eight inches In diam
eter weighs eight ounces what size hole
must be bored through It to reduce Its
weight by one-half7'
Presumins the hole to be bored centrally,
the problem can be solved as follows:
1t Is evident that the portion bored out
consists OF three parts--a cylindrical CEN
trail portion and a spherical segment at each
end OF this cylinder. The sum Of these por-
tlons is to equal one-haf the volume Of the
81 here. For any sphere of radius unity wa
have the following formulate:
First. Volume Of sphere s4-3Pi; hence u
the volume ss2-3Pi.
Second. Volume of segment 1-PiSh
squared K (3--h). h being the height Of thu
segment.
Third. Volume Of cylinder -Pi 4
squared. xlr being the radius Of the cyl
irder and / the length OF the cylinder,
Let X equal the distance from the center
of the sphere to the center OF the choIu
limiting the segment. Then. the radius oil
the sphere being 1. h.l-x, i-2x and I
the square root OF Ok sduared). +,
Substituting these values In the formulae
we derive the equation:
