FOOLS PARADISE" AT
COLISEUM TONIGHT

A million stitches for - costumes.
That's what it took to make the
gorgeously bejeweled costumes OF the
rSiamese dancing girls in one episode
Of Cecil b. De Miles latest Para
mount picture. Fools Paradise.
which will be shown at the Coliseum
Theater for three days, beginning
tonight
These costumes. perhaps the most
ornately beautiful ever designed for
the screen, were crcated by Claire
West. special costume designer for
Cecil B. De Mile productions. The
II dancers appear in reproductions OF
Tho famous Temple Danes. The
weight of their costumes IS cOnsid-
cradle as each garment is decorated
with at least 1000 set jewels; sap
phires, emeralds, rubies and rhine
stones. Counting so stitches TO each
jewel. 1000 to the garment, ii can
be seen that the original estimate OF
one million stitches for the l. cos
ftfmesssis conservative. tee
And these costumes were for dane
ers only and to gain a special effect,
Going into the costumes OF the prin-
cipafS is another story. Marvellous
sable cioaks and ermiac negligces,
startling jeweled Javanese costumes
and succession Of interesting Span
ISL gowns place this newest De Mile
picture at an exceptional point in
feminine investiture.
Playing the principal roles are Dor
othy Dalton, Mildred Harris, Conrad
Nagel, Theodore KosloGf, John David
son, Julia Faye. The support is ade.
quate.
There will only be one show each
night. An orchestra concert will be
given from to o'clock and after
the showing of Burton Holmes ira
velogne Jane Pagan will give Il vocal
selection, then the big feature will
start.

Methodists of Northwest Plan Exten-
sive Campaign in Country Dis
tricts This Summer.


Seattle. Wash.-A number of district
conferences of Northwest Methodist
Episcopal churches advocate chapel
on-wheels campaign this summer to
cover a vast area Of territory where
the population Is scattered. There are
hundreds of hamlets. agricultural com

the Gospel is not now heard.
The mounted chapels are to be con
structed on trucks equipped with liv-
ing quarters for the parson, a plat
form in the rear from which services
may be conducted. In the equipment
will be included graphophone with
Gospel records, portable organ, books
Of songs and Bibles for collective
reading.
The first of these wheeled churches
will leave here early in May for the
lumber camps above Snoqualmie. The
pastor in charge of the first chapel
will be a student from the College

A prototype Of five-year-old Davey Nc
Cluskey of Harlem. Dayey's arm got
stuck in a fire hydrant for half an

Davey and some chums found the

screwed it, Davey showed his .eft arm
in up to the shoulder. When he tried
to withdraw il he couldn't, because of
the suction. He didn't even whimper

But McCluskey, Sr., happened along,
and Davey's reward was different

Fool Germans During War.

is Vladimir BoIgarsky, formerly a cap
tain in the Russian army and since
the BOlsheviSt revolution refugee in
Paris. According to the report. Boil
garsky has dual personality Of di-
geStive organs"
The multiplicity of talents possessed
by these organs lend themselves TO
many practical uses. For instance.
shower baths are scarce and over
patronized in Paris at present. but
his does not annoy Bolgarsky. He
simply drinks 80 glasses of ice water.
which feat occupies him some three
minutes. then, being thus cooled in
side his trick organs return the water
by way of the mouths in the same con-
lition as when swallowed, and with
'uch force and velocity that the
stream rises 10 a height of six feet,
alling back upon him i'm tiny needle
ike jets like shower.
Bolgarsky put his talents TO good
lse while fighting on the side of the
lilies. The Russians had an impor-
ant battery we'll camouiiaged. but be-
ne worried that the Germans might
discover ii. they constructed a dunn
ny battery at some distance. Bolgar-
ky was placed in well-protected spot
front of the dummy battery and,
laving smoked many packages of Gig
lrettes and swallowed the smoke, he
,mitted smoke in such spurts that the
iermans concentrated the fire on the
dummy instead of the real battery.
