Breed Theatre

Everyone connected with the filming ee George Fitzmaurice's Paramount picture Forever" starring Elsie Ferguson and Wallace Reid, strained toward an ex- ceptional achievement. The results will speak for themselves at the Breed the- atre, where the picture will be the fea- ture for today and Wednesday. The sets of this picture were in many cas- es built solidly' of brick and concrete, particular care being taken with the Newgate jail scenes. In Peter rbbetson's cell, where Wallace Reid. as the central character. languishes through most of his life, the scenic construction followed exactly pictures of cells in that old Brit ish prison, stimulating even the cobvebs which hung in the dusty corners. The story is thrilling and the supporting cast unusually clever.
 Larry Semon will also be seen in The Sawmill," comedy feature in two parts and the Pathe news will complete the bill.

COMPANIES USE

Automobile prohibited lists are now be- ing used by practically every company writing automobile insurance No com pany is taking automobile business free ly these days. Every risk offered is care fully scCutinized. Most companies use some sort of an inspection and investiga- ton service to find out something about the assured The physical aspects of a car are considered by the automobile ex- aminer From every standpoint auto mobile business is being studies Com panies are underwriting their automobile risks much more painstakingly than they were last year.
 The disastrous experience of 1921 taught the companies a lesson. Some of the biggest writers in the business had loss ratios last year of over 100 per cent. In spite of numerous changes made and underwriting notifications instituted, the ! automobile losses mounted steadily last year. With the dose of 1921 the auto mobile writing companies decided to re- trench and to write only such automobile risks as appeared after a reasonable ex- animation to be desirable from an insur- ance standpoint. As a result, much bus mess formerly written by nearly all com panies is now being almost universally i declined. A K. O. list has been compiled by all of the more important automobile writing offices.

Two Features at the Strand

Ray evolves a new gag for lodging the taxi driver in R. S. " P" his. latest First National attraction at the. Strand theatre. The star is landed on the side walk in front of an imposing residence without a cent in his pocket and with the taxi waiting. In order to keep up appearances before the chauffeur and butler he has to appear to enter the machine, if only for second until the butler closes the front door.
 The star jumps into the taxi while the butler disappears inside. In a second the star is out of the machine again, slams the door shut so that the driver can know he's inside and then watches the car drive on.
 R. s. V. P" scores as a comedy ve- hicle with Ray registering an unusual number of laughs in an entirely new role. He is supported by a. capable cast composed of Florence Oberle, Harry Myers, Tom McGuire,, Jean Calhoun, Robert Grey. William Courtright and Ida Schumaker. | A certain little wife thought she would aid her husband to win promotion in the British army So she vamped the man higher up" and he fell" But in tho l climax in the Universal photoplay, "A Wonderful Wife" brings Miss du Pont in a stellar roie to the Strand theatre sto- | days and Wednesday shows the subject of her vamping lacking in the usual male | gullibility that she, as woman had counted on.

FIRE HORSE PICKS
 DEATH FROM CHOICE
Doomed to Garbage Wagon, Re
 Dashes Into Wall and Kills .. Himself.

Washington, Aug. 4.-Ten years
 honora ble service as fire horse re-
 varded with job hauling a garbage wagon broke the heart of Old Jack Gallup. He committed suicide yes terday in front of fire horse.
 Old Jack for years was one of three plump, sleek bays who whirled a steamer to every big fire in Wash inston and many little ones, too. But the motor finally got Old Jack and his pals and they went the way of thousands of others in an age of prog ress.
 A week ago there were some sobs choked down and some tears brushed away among the fremen over in Con- gress Heights when Jack and his mates were led away. Yesterday Jack turned up with one of them on an il-smelling, filthy garbage wagon in old Georgetown. The day was hot and the job was nasty and the dis grace was worst of { all. Nobody knows what Jack might have said to his mate. but, anyway, he took the bit in his teeth and bolted, dragging his teammate with him, and heading for the nearest engine house. Jack knew where it was, too, although he never had worked in that part of the city before. He galloped full tilt right into the brick wall, head on, and crumpled down in a heap.
 Nobody could convince the shocked and grieved fremen that Jack Gallup didn't deliberately take his life rather than end it hauling garbage wagon.
