mother is back again. strong and
healthy. She is working. and some
of the children are earning little
money too. They are again self sup
porting.
The Provident association kept that
family together when it was about to
be disrupted. 1t has kept others to-
gether in similar circumstances. It
has restored the self-respect of peo-
pie who no longer cared, it has made
good citizens from sodden wrecks of
humanity. The least Topeka can do
is to help support it.
There is enormous expense attendent
on running such an organization. The
Provident association does much more
than distribute second hand clothes,
and what it does costs money. 1t

Scene From THE PRISONER OF zENDA

The radiophone has notshad much
time in which to acquire a history,
but it has found a new application
of itself in the hands of Rex Ingram,
director of THE Prisoner of Ze Ma, Z"
in giving commands to the young
army of extras in the great corona
tion scenes.
1t was during the breaking out of
the recent rash of radio popularity
that the brilliant young director of
The Four Horemen of the Apoca-
lypse." The Conquering Power" and
Turn to the Right" undertook TO
transfer to the screen Anthony Hopes
celebrated romance The Prisoner of
Zenda."
In the course of making The Four
Horsemen,' Mr.. Ingram had encoun-
tered obstacles of the control of thou
sands of actors in the big scenes He
had in that case used a telephone with
wires. and with success But with the
advent of the radiophone. he saw no
disadvantage in experimenting with it:
The Topeka state journal., 1922-11-28

and there was one undeniable su-
periOrity in the newer instrument;
that there need be no switchboard
operator to delay the transmission of
his direction. Nor was there likeli-
hood of the others getting out of kill
ter.
Practic-l try-outs of the radio idea
brought approval from Mr. Ingram.
The working out the scheme was not
so complicated as he had anticipated.
By placing suD<directors to issue or
ders to every group in the crowds at
the coronation scenes, and so arranS-
ing the position of these subordinate
as to hide them from the camera; !;
and by equiIping them with receiv-
ing apparatus tuned in with his mas
ter phone, Mr.. Ingram was able to
direct the entire mass of people with
instantaneous response.

their mother one day last year. So

The mother set out bravely to take
his place. She was not strong and
the work she found was too much for
her failing health. She broke down
completely. A hurry call was sent
to an aunt who lived in the country
and she came to take care of the chill
dren, while the poor little mother
went to the country to try to recover
her strength. The aunt had work in
town but the money she received did
not go far when SIX children and her
self had to be cared for. They finally
had to sell the furniture to buy food.
