TALMADCE PLAY
COMES FOR RUN
OF SOLID week

Manager Ralph Blank of the Gar
den theatre announced today tn t
the biggest picture Constance Tai
madge has yet produced. East Is
West" is booked for his theatre for
one week, beginning Sunday,
Nov. 3.
Just as "Smilin' Through" was
Norma Talmadge's first really big
production, SO does the forthcom-
ing presentation of East Is West"
mark sister Constance's debut in
the field of drama and famous play
adaptations. Ever since East Is
West" completed its two year run
on Broadway and proceeded to Gre
ate further records as a road show,
it has been held as prize for
some screen star who wished to d.
something of a sensational nature
and would pay hte price. That I
.has failed to Constance Talmadge is
an indication of her new intention
to forget the delightful frivolite:
OF the past and to make future pro-
auctions equally delightful II
drama, not to the absolute exclu.
sion of comedy, however.
Fay Banter, it will be remem-
bered, created the role of Ming Toy
/ in the original stage production
Constance Talmadge's perform
ance is not duplicate but an am.
plification of that. Due to the mar.
row confines of the stage East Is
West" had to subdue many of its en-
tertaining possibilities. Enlarge
men to the screen makes possible
many of the delightful episodes
which were merely covered b.
words and not action in the stage
play; and as Ming Toy figures large

Francois Curel's la File Sauv-
age." adapted for the screen by

CONCRETE SHIP TO BE
 CONVERTED INTO PIER

WASHINGTON, March 10. At least one good use has been found for the famous concrete vessels de- veloped during the war and which have disappeared from public notice since.
 The concrete tank steamer Selmo, badly damaged in Mexican waters, some time ago, may become pleas ure palace, it was learned from the Shipping Board today. It is intended to beach the huge hulk on Pelican Island, Galveston, Texas, where she will be out of the way of navigation. After this is done there is a pro- posal from Galvaston to convert the hulk into pleasure pier. Picnic parties and anglers are expected to make it favorite resort. This plan was adopted after other projects seemed to be impracticable. It was too badly damaged to make it serviceable again and too costly to break up.

DOUBLE FUNERAL OF C0RD0YA
 BROTHERS, WHO WERE KILLED
 IN FRANCE, HELD WHERE BORN

For this act of conspicuous brav- cry he won a citation. His mother cherishes Croix de Guerre which, whenever she looks upon it, reminds her that her boy was never afraid to do his duty and that his own and the French government have testified to this.
 Private William Morris Jones was member of Company C. Thirty first Engineers. His death was caused through an accident which befell him while he was riding on a train while performing his duty with that organization. He had com plained of not feeling well, accord ing to facts recited after the acci- dent by his companions. He went to on open window to obtain air.
 STRUCK BY POST OR TOWER
 Clearances on the French railroads are not wide as they are in Amer ican built roads. The young soldier was struck by some post or signal tower which the train passed close ly, no one knows just which, and was mortally injured.
 Letters from officers and members of the company told Mrs. Jones what they could of the accident. These letters assured her that every help which medical and surgical science could suggest was given in the hope of saving the young mans life. for he was beloved of his con- rades.
 When it all failed, however, and death took him, he was buried with full military honors at fingers where his grave was clearly marked and recorded and where he waited his brother that the two might make the homeward journey together, even as they had gone forth.
 His death occurred on July 9, 191S On the following day his com- rades in the engineers executed a resolution of condolence which was sent to Mr. and Mrs. Jones from Samur, where the company was To- cated.

PELEE COMES BACK
 TO HAWAIIAN SCENE

HONOLULU, Aug. 16.-The glory of Hawaii, Madam Pelee, goddess of Kilauea volcano, has come back to Halemaumau, her house of fire" in the ancient crater, and things are as they should be in the molten pit.
 Pelee performed some strange and wierd acrobatics this summer and concluded her exhibitions with a dive out of sight into the bowels of the earth leaving her devotees dis mayed at the prospect of never sec ing her again.
 The great firepit, where for cen- turies the lava lake has glowed, surged and fountained, lay dead as a pile of cold ashes, with only an occasional wisp of smoke reaching the top of the crater rim, and not a sign of the vivid, molten red below.
 Then in the Eve small hours" of a day week or so back a messenger came running to Dr. Thomas dagger, Jr, official observer of Kilauea and interpreter of wayward Pelee's moods, with the information that the goddess had returned. And she had.
 From the side of the crater, hundred feet above the deep floor was pouring a tumbling cascade of incandscent lava, reforming the dead lake below and starting once again the leaping fountains as of old.
 That night, "Pelee's grandson the old Hawaiian who has guided tour ists about the crater since 1882, slept once again in peace, for Pelee had returned

Work on the coal spur, which leaves the main line of the Alaska Railroad near Healy and taps the big coal seams on the Healy Fork, is progressing rapidly, according to reports received from that district. The work is going ahead in spite of wet weather and it is expected that the greater portion of the roadbed will be ready for the rails before the middle of September, which is the date set for the completion of all grading work. Supplies are deliv- cred at the various grading camps by means of cable ferry which operates between the Healy side of the river and the side on which the spur is being constructed.
