clearly than usual. He has Dig
dramatic part as the successful writer
whose wife leaves him and their child
SO that she can give all her time TO
her new advancement on the operate
stage.
"His Great Sacrifice brings up
question quite common in modern
times---should a wife have career
that interferes with the welfare OF
her husband, her home and her child?
The question is answered in telling
fashion in the photoplay. Still. those
who see it may have different opin-
ion. 1t makes stirring drama ana
mills hard at the heartstrings.
REPORTS from the William FOX
studio in New York istate that Mr..
lFarnum took more personal interest
in the making of this picture than IN
ony other, with the possible excep--
tions OF "a Tale OF Two Cities ana
lies Miserables."
Each day in his dressing room ne
went over the play scene by scene
with his director, J. Gordon Edwards,
acting out every point on which there
was any slight difference of opinion
and finally getting all to state
where he land Mr.. Edwards agreed
they would be most effective. =,
Mr.. Farnum and Mr.. Edwards
agreed with Mr.. Fox that In THIS pre-
ture there is food for thought Tor
married and single alike, for men ana
,hnvs "a we'll as for women and girls.

Roman Use of Concrete.

The Romans discoveries in concrete
mixing made it possible: for them to
make prodigiOus strides in engineer
ing and architecture. At the foot OF
Vesuvius We're immense deposits OF
reddish sand or volcanic ash called
pozzuolana, which, when added to lime
mortar, made hydraulic cement. This
gave to the Romans concrete OF
extraordinary strength and perman-
ence, which hardened under water as
we'll as in the air, and became the
basis of their entire system Of building.
