BREATHTAKING ADVENTURES
TOLD WITH A LITTLE WINK

Who in the great white collar"

run riot on mythical adventures in
which he, the poor desk shackled clerk,

That is just what bespectacled Peter
Duff did from his Office I'M Fleet street,

into words and his chums were used
to hear Of his breathtaking adventures.
So when a meek appearing luncheon

of Peter he Immediately hires him to
sail for the China Seas and bring back
a hidden treasure. OF course, Peter
sails and things begin to happen. How
could they help 1t with a rascally mate
on board, a beautiful If unconventional
daughter Of the skipper and dozen or
more made-to- order adjuncts to a real

OF course, Peter. with experience

similar adventures as sub editor,
knows just how to deal with every sit

suggestion that helps to make "The
Qualified Adventurer" (Harcourt,

WILD ANIMALS
Their Minds, Manners and Traits
Fascinatingly Described by
DR.. Hornaday

William 7. Hornaday. curator OF
mammals at the American Museum OF
Natural History and director of the
New York Geological Park, has writ
ten no more able work than 1.-THE
Minds and Manners Of Wild Animals
CCharles Scribner's Sons), and there
has not been book on geological
subject for many day that can com
pare In fascination and varied interest
with this. Subtitled "a Book of Per-
sonal Observations, 1t has all the au :
thority and CONTINGENCIES of intimacy
with the subject in it's close up studies.
- Dr. Hornaday Is not concerned much
with quaint or odd traits in animals,
but rather with deeper mammalian ca :
pacities. He has assembled out Of his
studies and hunting and collecting in
all parts Of the world over long life
notably varied and significant mass
OF information. But q is more than O
mere record or chronicle. DR.. Horna
day has brought his wide ranging and
attic and logical relation. One Of the
librarians Of Congress used to saw.
Books are made from books" but
DR.. Hornaday declares that this book
Is not made Of quotations. He has taken
pains to rely on his own experience
and pride in being able to do SO almost
exclusively.
Among the subjects discussed are
wild animal crimes and criminals, laws
Of the f1ocks and herds, mental traits
OF birds. the brightest minds among
animals, morals Of wild animals, fear
as ruling passion, the language OF
animals, the rights of wild animals,
animal temperament and individuality
and the wisdom of the serpent. There
are many illustrations which point and
illuminate the text.

BR0ADHURST FARCE GIVEN

by Mae Desmond Players

Cross Keys-A glass of absinthe
when taken by an inexperienced drinker

is Shown by the complications which

Her Players this week.
The famous farce Of George Broad :
hurst is presented by an especially
capable east which obtains full laugh
value from every line. The plot winds
through tortuous course, and at times
1t looks as though the real truth in the
case will never be known.
When things look the very worst for
all the innocent persons concerned
there Is sudden shift In the proceed :
ings which straightens out the trouble
All the little touches which 20 to make
reality are found in the production
which Is one of the best 30 far given by

OLD FAVORITE RETURNS
IN FILM AT AlDINE
Leah Baird 10 Star In "Don't Doubt
Your Wife," Domestic Story

Your Wife, Domestic story
AMine-It's been long time since
statuesquely beautiful Leah Baird has
been seen here, but she returns, not only
as the star of Don't Doubt Your
Wits" but as author as well.
Frankly speaking, her histrionism Is
far halter than her literary distinction
In ''Don't Doubt Your Wife" she seems
to be endeavoring to create the darkest
possible shadow of suspicion for her
heroine and then to demonstrate how
unreliable apparently circumstantial
evidence nay be. AS warning to
Jealous husbands, It may be admired,
but as q dramatic structure 1t Is rather
hectic.
However, thanks to Miss Baird her.
self and a more than usually capable
supporting cast, Don't Doubt Your
Wife" becomes an entertaining If not
especially plausible story. 1t concerns
a young wife, with a jealous husband
and n former admirer lowering in the
background. A convenient rainstorm
and temporary shelter in notorious
road house lays the trap for the wife 8
undoing. and her husband refuses to. be-
iieye her Innocence. The other man
happens to be one of those "souls Of
honor" and he eventually saves the sit
uation.
Edward Peil does excellently as the
husband, with never a suggestion Of his
nsual Oriental makeup. The cast also
contains Emory johnson, Katherine
Lewis and Mathilde Brundage. Har-
old Lloyd's Never Weaken" is also
shown here this week
