At the Grand.

At the Grand.
A scenic drama of human existence,
so entirely new in concept, SO artis-
tically produced and so free from the
stereotyped as to draw clamor OF
approval from everyone who has seen
it and cause extended runs in the big
picture houses on Broadway, will be at
the Grand all next week.
1t is "Nanook of the North, an
epic of life north of the Arctic Circle
played by a cast of Eskimos, each an
untutored star of the first magni-
tude.
'Nanook of the North" was con-
ceived by Robert j. Flaherty, Fellow
of the Royal Geographical society and
produced by him in the Ugava region
OF the Hudson Bay country. his only
helpers being the Eskim0s whom he
had to initiate into the mysteries OF

own lives before the camera are them
selves and the viewer would swear
none OF them was aware a camera
was turned in their direction.
The production is vivid in its por-
trayal of the stcry In that all the
scenes are the real thing" Not one

of the storm scenes were reproduced

labors and the developing of the film

pense of $120 per ton.
''Nanook of the North" will be pre-
ceded next week by a specially ar
ranged prologue with special scenic
effects. in which Don Tweedy will
sing the new Eskimo song, "Oogie
Oogie Wa Wa" which has already
made a hit in vaudeville and which
is soon to be a special release on
| the records of one of the largest
phonograph companies. Mr.. Tweedy

NEW FIRE ENGINE
AND DEPARTMENT At
PEORIA SHOW WORTH

PEORIA, Feb. s. The new fire
engine at Peoria and the volunteer
fire department proved their worth
and efficiency yesterday afternoon
when a call was received that a small
barn at the Porter ranch south of
Peoria was on fire. This smaller barn
contained quantity of milo maize
and farm implements, and the blaze
was threatening a larger barn and
the residence. Immediately upon the
receipt of the call. the volunteer fire
department left and upon arrival at
the ranch found that in the meantime
the big barn had caught fire. The
chemical tank was used to eXtinguish
the blaze on the large barn and this
permitted the firemen to get the hose
from the suction pump into a large
earth storage reservoir nearby. The
engine was brought into service and
the blaze quickly extinguished. The
majority of the maize was saved. the
only loss being the small barn and
some boards on the larger barn,
which amounted to less than $1,000
The machine in its first real duty
performed nicely and perfectly and
was up to standard in every way.
