full story. DIR. Jekyll and Mr.. HYDE"
has been translated to the screen
with John Barrymore in the leading
role and will be shown at the Cres-
cen theatre for three days COM
mencing tomorrow. This is declared
to be n of the most remarkable
pictures ever filmed, and the per-
Torrance of Mr.. Barrymore, 1t is
claimed, is a worthy companion to
that of Richard Mansfield, who ap-
peared in the same part in the stage
version of the story.
The plot, as is well known, has as
its central figure a young London
physician, DIR. Jekyll, whose tender
heartedness is exceeded only by his
all-absorhing interest in his chosen
profession and his scientific ~investi-
cations. He is in love with an inno-
cent, beautiful girl. Millicent Carew.
Her father, Sir George Carew, is a
famous man about town. DIR. Jekyll
Is persuaded by Sir George to ac-
company him to a low music hall.
From this experience. Jekyll is led
to experiment with a liquid that will
separate the good and evil in a man
into two distinct bodies. He evolves
such a drug, administers it to HIM
self and becomes not only Jekyll,
the Observation-Disclosures. but also
Hyde, a misshapen, evil brute
Gradually the Hyde side of his
character overmasters Jekyll and,
after stirringly dramatic scenes. he
succumbs. Only after his death is
the dual character of his personality
revealed.

THEATRES
Coming to Majestic.

Progressive ideas are usually the
keynote of success in almost n
line of business. The man that
fails to keep abreast of the times
is pretty sure to find himself in the
has been" class before he realizes
it. This is particularly true in the
theatrical profession. Abe Rey-
nolds, who is the bright star of the
Revue hat bears his name at the
Majestic Theatre next Monday has
always been far-sighted and pro-
gressive, which no doubt accounts
in no small measure for the success
he has attained and the enviable
reputation he has established. Mr..
Reynolds has always depended more
upon che facial expressions and
quaint mannerisms to provoke
laughter than he has the rough,
slap-stick methods employed by the
usual Hebrew comedian OF the old
school of b~urlesque. He was quick
to realize hat the public was tired
of such horse play upon h stage
and wanted something ligftimately
funny instead. Therefore II was no
great surprise to those who know
him intimately, when this eason he
discarded the wig and whiskers
with which he has been identified
by for SC many years, and appears
in a neat makeup and well fitting
clothes. This was indeed a daring
step for any comedian to take and
in fact would prove a fatal one for
most bu%rlesque comedians. but not
so with Abe Reynolds. He is even
funnier than ever before in his en-
tire career and Max Spiegel has
provided him with an entirely new
show this season, and beyond a

bsen attempted in burlesque, from
a sostume. scenic and laugh provok-

TO UNCOVER BIBLICAL CITY
Thorough Exploration Of the Site OF
Beth-Shan Is Expected to Yield
Important information.

Relics Of seven or more cities which
successfully stood on the same site
and Of nine different civilizations are
expected TO be uncovered by the ex-
cavation Of the biblical city Beth-shan,
in Palestine, which is to be under
taken in June. The work will be done
under the direction Of Clarence s.
Fisher, curator Of the Egyptian sec
ton Of the museum Of the University
Of Pennsylvania. Official permission
to undertake this work has been re-
ceived from the government Of Pales-
tine.
Beth-shan is now known as Beisan.
1t is situated in the valley Of Jezreel,
just west Of the Jordan and not far
south of the Sea of Gallilee.
More great battles are believed to
have taken place within sight Of this
city than, perhaps, on any other spot
known TO history. The investigators
hope to find there the keys to the
whole history Of that section Of the
world written either on marble slabs
containing the laws, DEGREES, treaties
and other information or on bronze
tablets or written in clay with cunei-
form characters.
Beth-shan was a strategic point Of
value to any of the great military
leaders Of ancient times who aspired
to try his hand at world domination.
1t was on the route of all the builders
Of ancient empires. Beginning 5000
years ago, it suffered the blows OF the
armies Of SargOn, Abraham, Hammu-
rabi, S~ennacherib, NebuchadnezZar,
T%hothmes, Saul, David, Alexander,
. Pompey and Napoleon. Joshua led
his troops against Beth-shan, but
could not take it, because its defend
erS used iron chariots-forerunners Of
the tanks in the World war. The
crusaders made Beth-shan a point Of
attack in their vain efforts to conquer
Damascus. When the Assyrians came
down like a wolf on the fold, Beth
shan was one Of the places they took
and it has been dominated in turn by
Greeks, Romans and Arabs.
The Investigators expect to find
there the strata Of perhaps more than
seven cities, each built upon the ruins
Of the other, as successive waves Of
invasion swept over and destroyed It.
It is within sight Of the Mount OF
TRANSPORTATION, the scenes Of battles
between David and Saul, and the
Witch Of Endor, who recalled the
shade of the prophet Samuel to en-
tighten Saul, had her home near this
ancient city whose secrets now are
sought.

GYPSlES FEEL WARS EFFECTS
In Rumania They Are Said TO Be
Starving-SIaves TO Ancient
Superstiticns

or the dozens Of different races In
Rumania, none is more picturesque
than the gypsies. Like their prototypes
In other lands they rove the country
In great caravans, earning stray pen
MES by begging, dancing, playing and
telling fortunes.
In the cities they sometimes earn
their bread and onions by shining
shoes, peddling lemonade or acting as
porters.
The high cost Of living, which has
drawn tight the strings of every purse,
has brought double h~ardships to
these wanderers. No matter how well
they play their ~violins, no matter
what good fortunes they see In the
stars for those about them, they find
1t hard to coax pennies from the
empty pockets Of the war-oppressed
Rumanian people. Many Of them
have starved to death.
Among the gypsy women and girls
are to be found some striking types
of beauty. Dark Of complexion and
NAM VII oiAAiAihS, tOL6 -idS1lCu DidSh
eyes, they are a delight to look upon.
They have not yet acquired the art
Of using cosmetic as their sisters In
other countries do.
Superstition plays a large part In
the life Of the gypsy. One of the
many ancient customs which will sur
vive among the women is to beat them
selves frightfully If one Of their chill
dren dies. They believe that the death
has been caused by an evil spirit
having entered the body Of the child
as we'll as the mother, and that if
they chastise themselves the spirit
will depart.
One Rumanian gypsy woman whom
a relief worker visited was apparent
ly about to die from pneumonia. The
doctor found numerous bruises all
yer her chest, and these had
seriously aggravated her condition. On
questioning her he learned her bruises
were due to a beating she had given
herself because n Of her eight chill
dren had died.

Ready for the UNEXPECTED.

In case of any unusual damage as
by reason of an explosion or accident
Of any kind it is desirable to get the
debris out Of the way as Soon as pos
Sible and to remove other evidences
Of the affair. 1t was thought that In
the United States this work was US
ually done with great promptitude. In
the case of railroad collisions it Is
quite COMMON for every evidence Of
the affair TO be removed in a few
hours so completely that it is a diff
cult thing to locate the scene. In the
case of the bomb planting on Wall
street, in two hours q great deal Of
the damage had been repaired and at
4 o'clock the same afternoon a few
boarded up windows was about all to
be seen of the fearful damage that
had been done. But in Paris these in
cidents are more common and the au-
thorities are on the alert to meet
them. There are maintained a reg
ularly organized department for such
emergencies and it is always on the
job with the same promptness that an
American fire company answers the
alarm. The work Is ~Subdivided among
trained squads and every part Of 1t
Is attacked at once Even a torn up
street is repaired in a few hours.

Art OF Conversation.

Conversation reaches its best when
1t leaves wells and convention behind
it, when people speak face to face. It
may be impossible to attain this with
many; in this perfect sense there are
only a few with whom we really talk,
and we cannot always talk eve with
them. 1t is, OF course, always easy
to exchange words. but many words
may be uttered and yet nothing have
been said.
There are moments when the wells
are thrust aside and the closest In
%tercourse becomes for a brief time
possible. 1t is then that people talk
OF the one thing they know best Of
their own self, and the self's relation
to life's mysteries; it is then, and then
only, that we approach the absolute,
the true, though still 1t may be only
at a distance.
The last reserve between soul and
soul is rarely surrendered, and there
Is always the reserve, the limitation.

PUTTING Houses on the Market.

In an attempt to stop landlords from
refusing to rent houses In order that
they may be sold at inflated prices Brit
ish government officials have intro
duced a bill in parliament which would
authorize local authorities to rent
these houses.
If a house has remained unoccupied
for three months, according to the bill,
local authorities may make an order for
compulsory hiring. The building must
be suitable for letting without recon
struction and, apart from the rent pay
able, no landlords will be entitled 70
any compensation for the houses that
are cOmpulsorily hired.
