Twelve stellar players and a sup
porting cast of unrivalled quality
that's the record set by Cecil B, De
Miles latest Paramount materpiece,
THE Affairs of Anatol," which will be
shown at the Palace Theatre for three
days starting Wednesday. The ros-
ter reads like screendom's who's
who. The phrase ''all-star cast" is a
much abused one but it adequately de-
scribes east that includes Wallace
Reid, famous Paramount star; Gloria
Swanson, Elliott Dexter, Bebe Dan
els, Monte Blue, Wanda Hawley,
THEODORE Roberts, Agnes Ayres, Theo-
dore Kosloff, Polly Moran, Raymond
Hatton and Julia Faye
Nothing like this cast in the way
of aggregate talent has ever been as
sembled before. The drawing power
of almost any of the names on the
roll has been sufficient to awaken the
interest of the discriminating public.
Here. for the first time, they are ap-
pearing in a single production under
the direction of a master producer
Cecil 8. DeMilIe.
The Affairs of Anatol' was writ
ten by Jeanie Macpherson. author of
many notable Cecil B. DeMille produc
tionS. Her story was suggested by
Arthur Schnitzler's scintillating com
edy of the same name.
The same quality that is featured in
the cast of principals and in the au-
thorship has been carried through
every phrase OF production work. The
supporting cast includes such capable

triangle OF trade routes, with Its sides
not penetrated by important steamship
lines. Within this isolated Pacific tri-
angle are the Marshall islands.
Before the war Sydney was reached
by steamer, a voyage OF more han
1900 miles. The only other method of
egrcss was a steamer to Ponape
which connected with a French line
to Singapore.
Like two loosely strung chains of
jewels, the islands stretch from north
west to southeast, each with its la
COON setting encased by a strangely
shaped circlet of coral, some like tri-
angles. harps and stirrups, and n
outlining a bulls head with its horns.
Straight haired, dark brown natives,
still preserving the religious signifi-
canoe of tattoo and taboo, are to be
found. Once a sturdy, reliant, sea-
faring people, for they were the best
mans coming, as in the case of his
advent among the Eskimo and the
Indian, did not seem wholly beneficial.
In teaching them ways to live more
easily civilization robbed them of that
holiness and adventure winch made
them the hardest of the Microaeasian
peoples. Many of the young died of
tuberculosis.
Skillful and fearless navigatOrs, the
natives used bread-tres wood to make
sailing canoes in which they would
voyage for months. They devised
charts, made of sticks, showing the
locations of islands and the directions
of prevailing winds.
Ancestor worship was their predomi-
nant religious sentiment. With petit
tions and gifts they worshiped the
departed whose spirits were supposed
to return to earth in certain palm
trees. which they set off in stone en-
closures. Birds and fishes sometimes
embodied these spirits, they believed,
and thus certain species became la
boo.
Homes of the natives were not pre-
tentious. Floors were raised above
the ground to escape the rats, and
matched roofs covered the combina-
ton house and storage room.
The two island groups are known as
the Ratak and Ralik chains. Their
entire area is rot mor than 100
square miles; their native population
before the war was $4,000. with fewer
than 300 foreigners. The seat of Ger
man government was on Jalult and the
most populous island is Majeru, with
but 1.600 persons.
Other explorers had touched at the
islands but they, with the Gilbert
group, took their names from Cap
tains Marshall and Gilbert who eX-
plored them in 1888. The Germans
annexed the islands in 1SS6.

DEMAND FOR SAFE RoRDMAYS
Some Kind Of Protection Should Be
Provided to Keep Cars From
Skidding OFF Dirt Roads.

What value do we place, on a human
life? To judge by some of the roads
over the country 1t is not much. Lives
are lost many times whereaA tex dol
lars or a little extra time would make
a road safe enough so that taxing Q
ride along them onya rainy day In an
auto would not be. such a Embarrassing
experience as is often the case now,
says a writer in Successful Farmer.
Recently a friend of mine was driv'

q small town and ran into a ditch si1
feet deep, upsetting his car and smash
Ing things up generally, though he es-
capped unhurt, and had no one with
him. Many complaints had.beenamade
about that road, but nothing Was done
by anyone. On either side the ditch
came within less than two feet OF the
roadway, and there was not even o
ridge or anything to ward the wheels
off and keep them from sliding over.
When hundreds of automobiles are
owned in every part OF the country
and it is impossible TO always keep
off roads when they are slippery, 1t Is
not morally right and should not be
legally right TO leave them in a icondi-

CENTER OF ITALY'S SOCIAL
EARTHQUAKE ZONE

Milan, chief city of the Lombardy
Piedmont region of Italy, where work
ers seized factories several months
ago, and where much unrest has been
manifested since, has frankly consid-
cred itself for long years the vird1af
capitalize "capitaIe morale"-of the
country. wH4lC f1

Lombardy and the Piedmont com
prise the plains of the upper reaches
of the great Pc valley, the Alpine foot
hills, and the southern and eastern
slopes of a large part of the Alps them
selves. Milan, on a fertile plain near
the southern ends of some of the most
important of the Alpine passes, was a
town of considerable importance even
la the dim historic days of Up b. c.,
when it was captured by the Romans.
Ii was then, as it is today, second

Milan early earned a position of lead
ership among surrounding cities a
leadership, however, which did not go
unchallenged. The city has been de-
stroyed many times, once by a league
of neighboring towns, and ait other
times by alien c~onquerors. After each
destruction it has sprung up On a seem
ingly firmer foundation to achieve
greater popularity and a more far
reaching influence.
Apart from any reputation Milan
may have gained as an index to in
d~ustrial unrest, it is a leader among
Italian cities in other respects. In

son, A glance at a map of the Adriatic
VIII show that the possession of Pola,
and the recent acquisition of the island
of Cherso, by the terms of the Rapallo
agreement, give Italy control of the
water route to Fiume.
Situated near the extremity Of the
Istrian peninsula, IS miles by rail
southwest of Trieste, Pola's sole I'M
portant activity before the war was
connected with the repairing, provi-
sioning and harbOring of the Austrian
naval forces. The town is virtually
without industrial establishments or
manufactures.
In 1900 the population of Pola was
about what it had been eighteen cen
turtles before under the rule OF Roman
emperOrs. During the succeeding ten
years, however, it grew from $4,000 to
10000.

being the commercial roadstead, and

The city itself clusters around a
| castle-crowned hill which was once the
site of the Roman capitol. The cas-
tie is a memento of the days of Vene-
tian prowess.
Its settlement is attributed to the Col
chians who pursued Jason and his
~argonauts. Pola's splendid harbor be-
came a Roman possession in 17S B. c.,
but julius Caesar destroyed it for hav-

Some years later it was rebuilt by the
