THE BAT" TOPLAY
 ENGAGEMENT HERE
Rinehart- -HopWood Thriller to Be Presented at JeffeT-
 son Soon

For those who like the stories of Conan Doyle, Anna Katherine Green. Wilkie Collins, Mary Roberts Rine- hart. or the plays of Avery Hopwood. there is one Of the rarest treats in store when Wagenhals and Kemper present their great dramatic triumph, "The Bat" written by Mrs Rinehart and Hopwood in collaboration, at the Jefferson theatre Tor tbree nights. beginning October 26, for return engagement, with last seasons great cast.
 "The Bats" record in the theatrical world is unique II is unquestion- ably the greatest hit in years. It played for more ,than two years in New York. while another company played over year in Chicago. This is absolutely without precedent in the theatre.
 The success of "The Bat" Is un- doubtedly due to the fact that 1t ap- peals to all classes of theatre goers. It's amazing success in Lon don and Australia demonstrates this. It is thrilling and at the same time screamingly funny. Staged with all the skill of Wagenhals and Kemper, master hands at producing stage sue cesses, the play, moreover, is acted with consummate skill by an exceD- tionally capable company, which in- cludes Lizzie Evans, William l.. Thorne, Josephine Morse. Gretchen Thomas, Herbert Delmore. Harry 1.a Cour, Joseph NJ Holicky, George Wilson. John Mackenzie and John Graham Spacey.

WHEN ARE NIGHTS
 AND DAYS EQUAL? 1?

Washington, october 19.--On what date in the fall of the year is day and night equal in length2 Most per- sons will reply: Why. September 21, of eourse." Anyone connected with the International Fixed Calendar league will reply: september 23, of course.9
 The Calendar league professes to have proof and this is where it orig mates:
 The shadow of the Washington monument was measured on the parking around the obelisk, on September q, 22. 25 and 24, exactly at noon, when the shadow pointed north. The shadow was found to lengthen:
 Six feet, two inches between Sep tember 21 and 22;
 Six feet, four inches between Sep tember 22 and 23;
 Six feet, three inches between Sep tember 23 and 24;
 showing by it's longest stretch on September 23. according to Moses E. Cotsworth, originator of the fixed calendar idea for modern times. and secretary and treasurer of the league. that that day is the equnoxial day when day and night are equal.
 Want f3 Months The league is composed of persons who are trying to have the present yearly calendar rearranged, so there shall be 13 months of 2e days each, with one extra day per year. to be known as "Year Day. 10 make up the 365 days of the solar calendar.

Norn1a Talnaadge's Triumph,
 The Eternal Flame, TrianonI

After "Smilin' Through" it may sound almost too good to be true to say that Norma Talmadge has made an even better production. But after viewing her in "The Eternal Flame, ,' the First National attraction which comes to the Trianon this week. it is evident that here beyond all doubt Is the greatest photodrama of Miss Talmadge's career, her incomparable achievement to date
 "The Eternal Flame" is a massive and spectacular production, great human drama that tugs at the heart strings, moistens the eyes, grips with its dramatic sweep and warns the soul, and in It's all embracing hu- manity. it at times brings out the smiles.
 Adapted from Honore Balzac's La Duchesse dc Langeais," with all the color and pomp and glory of the second restoration period in the court of Louis XVIII, 1t Is an epic of the screen, and Norma. as the beautiful and flirtatious duchess, is superb.
 In1urlated by the act Of her hus- band, the Due de Langeais. who wa gers on her purity, she becomes the heartless coquette of the court. She toys with mems hearts once too of ten. General Armand de Montriveau, friend of Napoleon, learns he is but the object of her vanity. that she is laughing at his love.
 Transformed into a man of violent passion, he makes her captive to in- flict terrible revenge, but some how he cannot bring himself to brand her forehead with the mark of infamy. He releases her. Then comes her suffering. She realizes her love for him. Her letters are re-

bring to full perfection the power of her art as emotional actress. And in the role of the woman who sets out to save the man she loves she is nothing short of magnificent.
 ",rhe Bonded Woman" was adapted from story by John Fleming Will son. "rhe SalVing of John Somers."
 Popular clements are thrilling storm at sea, and several realistic shipwrecks. The interior of a Homo lulu sailors resort, with it's dancing girls and other diversions, furnishes a eo1orful background. John Bowers and Richard Dix contend for the stars favor.

 Magnificent are the settings re- vealed in this spectacular photo drama. Particularly so is the great ballroom scene in the court of Louis XVIII, with hundreds of cavaliers and their ladies on the floor. Conway Tearle. as de Montriveau. is a most convincing artist, and Adolphe Jean Menjou is admirable as the Due de Langeais. Others in the cast are: Wedgwoed Nowell, Rosemary Theby, Kate Lester, Thomas Ricketts, Irving Cummings and Otis Harlan.

PERSONAL CONTACT

Fred Kelley, in The. Nations Busi-
 ness.
 A railroad purchasing agent in Cleveland used to have only two chairs in his office. one at his desk for himself. the other about twenty feet away. This other chair, for callers, was ponderous affair, not unlike these seen on church chancels and in electrocution chambers. Aside from it's grim weight, my recollection is that it was also screwed to the floor. At any rate. 1t was not easily moved any nearer to him than 20 feet. The advantage of this was that he was never talked into buying any thing he didn't need. It is well nigh impossible to cajole a man into buy ing beyond his immediate require ments unless you can edge up close to him and tap him impressively on the knee.
