AMUSEMENT NOTES
Beyond the Rocks Screened Under
the Supervision of Elinor Glyn.

The verandah OF the Cafe Ritz in
Paris affords one of the many intensely
interesting scenes in Beyond the
Rocks the Paramount polarization OF
Elinor Glyn's famous novel, in whlch
| Gloria Swanson is starred and which
will be shown at the Park theatre to-
morrow only. Here at the customary
tables are grouped exactly the types
that one would find in this exclusive
establishment for satisfying the inner
man and also pleasing the eye and ear.
At one table IL seated couple OF
the bourgeoisie, as is plainly diseefni-
BILE by their appearance and dress and
parvenu is stamped in every thing
| their expensive attire, over elaborate;
their way OF eating and talking. But
between them sits the daughter Of the
bouse--and the excuse for their pres
ence in the Ritz select confines FOR
she is lovely and refined and sweet as a
rare flower.
At another is a typical continental
woman in perfect taste, with gentle
man apparently of some foreign court;
at another table sits an elderly man
with starting whiskers who laughs and
INDUCES in repartee with his vis-a-vis.
Over there is Rudolph Valentino
Hooking his part of the young English
baronet with Spanish ancestry. He

role of the last named character They

every bit of detail. and assist Sam

Never did anyone take a keener in

work if necessary Of rearranging minor
or great details.
In this picture which Jack Cunning

supervised, Gloria Swanson is cast in

and affords her unusual opportunities
for the display of her skill and talent
in emotional acting and enables her TO
wear exquisite gowns and look her

ONE RED ROSE VAS RENT BILL
FOR TINY HOUSE OF WORSHIP

Modern tenants, confronted with an
era of high rents. should be interest
ed in stories of how little renters in
the old days worried about their
leases A writer in the S. W. Straus
Company's magazine tells of some of
the peculiar ways in which rents were
paid long ago:
That poetry could enter into the
sordid real estate world seems
strange" he points out. yet in Man
helm, Pa. stands a little house of
worship known as the Red Rose
Church, leased to the community on
the annual payment of one red rose
to the family of William Henry Spie-
gel, by each member OF the congre-
cation.
I'm 1872. when the lease was made,
such was the stipulated price, SO
every year. on the 1st OF June. the
congregation of the church calls at
the Spiegel house and pays it's rent.
In addition to roses, the congregation
as whole must pay shillings in
money. That doesn't mean the equiva-
lent in American money: the contract
specified .'shillings," and so shillings
must be paid
Freaklsh Tenures.
In England cases of this sort were
quite common at one time, and some
such leases are in operation to this
day. On Easter Monday morning. in
the parish at Coleshill, in Warwick
shire, if the young men of the parish
catch a rabbit before 10 o'clock and
take it to the vicar. they receive. or
SHOULD receive from .him, according
to the lease calf's head and 100
eggs for breakfast 1t is on this con-
dition that he holds his plot of land.
Another freakish tenure is that of
the tenants at Hampton Bishop. in
Hereford county. By their original
leases they must get, every year. six
horseloads of stakes from Hay wood.
nearby. to make hurdles for penning
sheep at Hereford fair, whenever
they may be required to do SO. One
half penny, sterling. is to be paid for
each load.

WIZARD ARCHITECT
OF j. S. IN FRANCE
Former D. c. Man to Erect
Entire Village in War
-Ravaged Area.

Milton Dana Morrill,, who designed
a number of the federal office build
ings during the regime as architect
of the Treasury of James Knox Tay-
lor, is supervising a program of re-
construction in devastated portions
of northern France. it became known
here this week.
Mr.. Morrill, has developed a plan
of erecting houses cheaply and quick
ly by a cement-pouring process, SINH
lar to that devised by Thomas A.
Edison, it is said. 1t is understood
that wealthy New York man pro-
poses to erect an entire village in ac-
cordance with Mr. Morrilrs system,
which provides for varying exteriors
of all houses nodded.
The concrete construction program
Is readily adapted to conditions in
the ruined towns and villages of the
war torn section, as broken brick and
stone, used in mixing the cement, are
plentiful.
2IOuses Quickly Built.
Reconstruction plans are complete
and much should soon be accomplished.
Indeed, much has been ACCOMPLISHED at
French cities in the ruined area as to
reconstruction. The armiS:ice found not
house standing there. but the Lens
basin contains the richest coal mines
in France. which must be restored
to workable shape as quickly as pos
sible. Essential to this was the i'm
mediate housing of the miners and
thousands of permanent homes have
been built there. mainly of brick and
concrete blocks.
Here the demonstration houses built
by the Morrill, system are located but
200 feet from what was the main bat
tie line in the war years. \ large
amount of debris is in their walls
Broken bricks were reduced to coarse
sand in stone crusher and lime add
ed to this gave a concrete mixture
which worked well. AS this was
placed in the forms other broken
bricks and stones, even of consider
able size Were fmbedded in il to make
a particularly solid wall construction
Brick and concrete block houses

concrete construction can be poured
by unskilled laborers who have had
a bit of instruction. These workers,
of whom there is no scarcity in
France now, at about half the wages
paid in this country. work an eight
hour day and receive two francs an
hour, equal to about Is cents at the
rate of exchange when this is writ

labor. needed to some extent on this
construction, receive two and one
half francs an hour.

especially struck with the nodded
house as satisfactory answer to
their problem in the districts where
shellfire had been hottest. They so
reported to their government. Later
Mr.. Morrill, was invited to come to
France, at the expense of the French
government. TO introduce his system
of pouring houses. r. J. Caldwell of

offer was accepted. :
Cuts Building Cost.


The first house was built in Tour
Going. which adjoins Lille, the Amer
lean architect cooperating with the
municipal architect OF Tourcoing. Not
only did this first piece of work show
an economy of 40 per cent in building
costs over the most economical meth
DDS previously in use in France. but
the house was finished in much less
time than 1t could have been in brick
or concrete block.
Somewhat later there was held in
Paris an exposition general. in which
various types of design and methods
of construction adaptable to the dew
astated districts were shown. and
Mr.. Morrilrs models of nodded houses
brought him the grand prix for both
designs and construction systems for
'habilitations Il bon marche.'
His system is as simple as 1t is eff
ficient, it is said. For the inspiration
which led to it Mr. Morrill, freely ac-
knowledges his Indebtedness to
Thomas A. Edison as the first Ameri-
can to see the possibilities of poured
concrete as improved house construc-
ton. The Morrill, system makes use
of hinged steel plates out of which to
form molds. Until his invention came
along a very great objection to con-
crete construction was that it took
almost as much lumber for the frame
work into which to pour concrete
mixtures as to build a wooden house.
Besides the lumber could be used but
limited number OF times. These
steel plates can be used indefinitely.
MOnOlith House Planned.
Their standard unit is two feet
square and they are hinged in sets of
two, one over the other. They can
be locked together along the ground
to make a wal of any length desired.
There are special devices for the cor
ners. These plates are held apart by
steel rods adjusted TO form mold
for any width of wall desired. Hol-
low tile can be embedded in the wall
to form thermal chamber. through
whose presence extremes of tempera-
ture within the house are obviated.
Often such hollow tile is thus i'm
bedded to make conduits through
which to run wires and plumbing
pipes.
and window frames are set into the
wall and the plates adjusted accord
ingly. When they are withdrawn the
steel rods which hold the plates in
position naturally leave holes in the
wall Into these five-foot pipes are
driven to form scaffolding and when
the wall is finished and this scaffold-
ing removed these holes are filled
with concrete driven in by compressed
air. Finally the walls are succeed
outside and plastered inside for
tasteful finish.
Sometimes the house is poured as A
monolith. this scheme permitting
floors of concrete to be poured as
construction goes forward, but more
often the floors are laid of wood. The
concrete sets over night usually and
the walls go up with no delay. 1t
takes about week to build an aver
age two-story cottage. The plates
for good-sized house cost $500 to
$7O0-and, of course, can be used over
and over. A Thousand dollars worth
of these plates will build a very fine
house.
