LAMP" MOVIE PROVES
HISTORY Is INTERESTING.

A good illustration Of the use Of the
movies in causing the public to appre-
ciate the value Of certain inventions is
well reflected In The Porcelain Lamp"
movie showing the development of gas
oliue driven vehicles, which was shown
twice last night before two capacity
houses at English's. This movie prac-
tically opened the Indianapolis automo-
bile show. School children Of the city
saw the film this morning at the Circle.
The Porcelain Lamp" has been given
good story-a story which illustrates
naturally the develop 'ent Of gasoline
driven vehicles. This movie is interesting
and highly educational The skill in
which gasoline" has been made into q
movie is q credit to the producer.
The fact that romance can be woven
about a commercial undertaking, and be
presented to the public In the form Of an
entertaining movie opens up a field to
be developed in the future.
Mayor Charles Jewett and Senator Van
Orman spoke to the capacity crowd which
attended the first performance.
The picture takes up the history Of the
evolution Of transportation, its problems
and needs. and compares ancient meth
DDS with the present development of the
automobile.

KEEPING HOUSE WITH THE HOOPERs

Hooper sent Betty out to play in the
sandbox and put on her bungalow apron
over her hOusedress and began her round
of the rooms. She carried a notebook and
pencil in her apron pocket and jotted
down everything she wished to remember
In connection with her tour OF inspection.
When the clothes were being sorted for
the wash their condition was carefully
noted and those that were hopeless as
future wearing apparel were discarded or
converted into rags for busting or clean
ing; or in the case Of wornout bed or
table linen they were set aside for emer-
gency bandages.
Into Mrs. Hooper's notebook at this
point went the reminder that Roger
needed some new handkerchiefs and that
Helen must have new pair OF boomers.
On her return TO the kitchen she iu-
spected the pantry and listed the food
staples that were necessary for the week.
When her Homework was finished and
every nook and Granny of the place had
been examined. there was no accumula-
ton Of waste rags or paper or boxes TO
form the nucleus OF new weeks litter
because everything that could not be
used again was discarded. her clothes
were ready for the wash next morning
and in her note book was a list Of the
things she needed in every department
Of her home. as well as a reminder Of
all the repairs that had TO be made by
Roger, or by the plumber or the car
penter as the case ight be, and OF the
various things that Helen would he ex-
pected to attend to in the matter OF
mending before the inspection day next
week
When she and the children were hav-
ing their tea IN front OF the fireplace IN
the afternoon. she referred to the note
book from which Roger and Helen al
ways expected to hear her read on Mon
day afternoons II was not supposed TO
be mentioned again, but OF course, they
sometimes forgot.
Helen" she said there are two sofa
pillow covers to be mended on the uv-
ing room couch; Betty must have put
her foot through them. and a tear in

Il suppose you found no end OF things
that I'll have to tinker with though"
growled Roger.
Lets see" she peered into the
DEPTHS OF the notebook. There's a
loose hinge on the screen door In the
kitchen; broken hook In fathers
clothes closet "A frayed cord on the cleo
trio iron and a bent bracket on the
electric light in the cellar"
'Oh. that's not so much" said Roger
cheerfully "Tn do those before dinner

'rll have my lunch while you're with

new tradition that the third person sim
gular feminine 'pronoun could have no
antecedent other than Betty THAT will

She took me to the door, opened 1t and
murmured:

There l was on the threshold Of
Betty's rooms wanting suddenly to run
away and cry far more than 1 did to
so in and face Betty all bandaged and
pale.

tired voice like a little ghost of Betty's
warm, vibrating tones.
In another second l was at Betty's bed
side, kissing her soft cheeks and her
burning forhead and holding her cold left
hand against my throat.
"Yes, dear, I've found you. And I'm
going to stay with you as long as youu
let me- l whispered.
Betty snatched her hand to brush away
two or three tears that had gotten as far
as the ends of her long eyslashes. Then
she smiled whimsically.

said. Il plan well enough to save you

of underworld life when he made the
story into a movie.
J After seeing this adaptation OF SIN
clair's story ! do not care to see any
more of his stories turned into movies.
I am not wild to spend the time reading
lis stuff, II the movie producer has
truthfully visualized his story.
Those who like underworld stuff viii
find enough Of that sort Of thing in 1.-THE
Money Changers" which opened weeks
| engagement yesterday at Mister Smiths.
Stories like these give one the impression
that the average man has little hop
or drug joint somewhere around the
corner and also a victim Of the white
slave traffic waiting for min. Some Of
the underworld "Chink" scenes, where
a Chinaman attempts to make love to q
white girl, could be clipped from the
movie and in So doing would make it
better entertainment.
IF THE Money Changers" reflects
life in New York City, 1t is about time
that Noah gets out his ark and gathers
in the animals, because another flood Is
due.
We have seen the same sort of stun
on the stage in the past but not lately,
as the stage seems to have advanced
beyond the dope" era.

CURWOOD MAKES TSOBEL' A GRAND OLD NAME
Clayton Appears to Advantage Ne MUTearIe Colonial

George Conan has made MARY" a
grand old name on the stage, and it re-
manned for James Oliver Curwood to
make the name of Isobel as famous on
the screen.
Mr. Curwood has been successful in
using nature for his pictures, and he
has made appropriate use of big snow
storm and blizzard in "Isobel" of 1.-THE
Trails End"
Most of the scenes Of this new Cur
wood movie take place in the far
north, where the natives live In snow
huts, and where men fight in the open
to possess the object Of their desires. In
this snow-covered country Curwood has
staged a movie story. 1t is the old
story of the love Of good woman for a
man. The woman goes into exile be-
caus the man she loved is supposed to
have murdered a man. A child is born.
In the meantime the Royal Mounted Po-
lice are hot on the mans trail. House
Peters IS cast as a member of the mount
ed police force, and the story shows that
the big, strong members of the force
can be as human as an Indianapolis cop
per on a beat.
youngster used in some Of the scenes, but
this little trick is as clever and pretty
a youngster as one would wish to see.
Curwood has staged his storm and
snow scenes In fine taste. There are
many beautiful scenes in this picture
which proves that Mr.. Curwood is a man
Of vision and understanding.
Jane Novak is cast as the woman who
faces the storms of the great north. She
proves that she is able to put on a hys-
terical scene with telling effect. This
scene is effective because Miss Novak
does not appear to overact She hasn't
as much to do IN this movie as Mr..
Peters has, but when she appears this
actress dominates the scene.
Mr.. CurwOod has surrendered TO the
happy ending idea, and l think the pic
ture would be more convincing If he
would allow Us fans to leave the theater
guessing II the big mounted police Of
tcer and the woman found complete hap
piness at last. know rery we'll that
the public demands a happy ending and
Mr.. CurwOod is wise producer.
By simple strokes Of directing, Mr.
Curwood has created a number of big
scenes in the land Of snow. ''Isobel"
will linger long In your memery as
pleasing experience in the theater

HISTORY OF INCLINED PLANE,

Who invented the screw, or, In other
words discovered the principle Of the
inclined plane? ". T. s.
A. The principle Of the inclined plane
which is applied to the ordinary screw
was familiar to the ancients. It's inven-
ton is ascribed to Archimedes, $50 B. c.
The screw was used by the Romans In
their wine and oil presses, and probably
was familiar to many Mediterranean

ETHEL CLAYTON RETURNS
BETTER THAN EVER.

Ethel Clayton has the advantage Of
having an original and new story for
her latest production. "The Price Of Pos
session." which is at the Alhambra the
first part Of the week. This play has all
the advantages OF a new and newell plot,
some unusual situations and a really in
teresting theme.
We will not tell much of the story
here as Il would take away from the play
that element Of suspense that adds u
great deal TO its entertainment value
Miss Clayton appears to great advantage
In this play. She has the opportunity to
wear some of the beautiful gowns which
are expected in her productions
There is never an instant in the play
when the interest lags. The action is
kept at full speed and surprises follow
surprises. The story opens in a rather
conventional way. but the audience soons
learns that the usual mode OF procedure
for plays Of this character Is not to be
followed
From Australia. the scenes move to
England and Rockclifre Fellows, the
leading man, enters thu story. From that
time the action, now comedy. now drama
continues until the end OF the play
Rockcline Fellows makes an acceptable
leading man for Miss Clayton and keeps
up successfully his end Of the play.
Opinion; Miss Clayton Is altogether
charming in this play. Her leading man
gives her excellent support and the play
Is all that could be desired by the seeker
OF worth while productions.

LOIS WEBER ASKS A QUESTION
AND ANSWERS IT ON SCREEN.

Miss Lois Weber has asked a question.
1t is-What's Worth While?
After asking the question, she answers
1t by making a movie called What's
Worth While" which is the current Of
fering at the Isis.
Miss Weber causes Claire Windsor, a
sweet and pretty movie person, to ask the
question in the person Of Phoebe Morri-
son. Now this Phoebe person is one Of
those creatures who has been born with
silver spoon in her mouth and has been
trained to associate with those who are
only her equals. Of course that limits
the girls choice Of a husband. One day
she comes across a picture of a man
named Elton. He IS just one of the com
mon herd who makes his soup sound
like An orchestra and probably would use
his knife to eat peas if that vegetable
was served to him. Phoebe so arranges
1t that she goes West and meets the
man Of the picture. She loses her head
over him, but he understands that
Phoebe is not of his class. He tells her
to trot back East. 1t Is then that Phoebe
learns what is worth while. So they
both decide to eliminate the social bar
rier between them. Elton learns how
to wear dress suit and control his
soup.
The climax of the story of course is
developed as only Lois Weber can do t.
Louis Calhern plays the role of the
common person.

Abutting Property Gets Timber

The construction of the valley trunk
line of the Mt. Hood Loop Highway,
the new grade utilizing a new right of
way for a greater portion of the Il
mile distance, has raised the question
of ownership of timber on the right Of
way. The State Highway department.
following legal advice, has announced
that the timber goes to the abutting
property.
Timber owners, however, have been
warned that they must cut the wood
previous to grading the road or MAKE
arrangements with contractors for sal
vaging it. The contractors, it is
stated, are required to burn and de-
stroy all timber not removed when
their operations begin.
