Two Days For "FooIsh Wives
Just today and tomorrow are left
Of the engagement Of Foolish
Wives" Universal sensational mill
lion dollar triumph, written. direct
ed by and featuring Won Stroheim
There has never been brought TO
the city a picture any more preten-
tious than is this dazzling, marvellous
nlasterwork which weaSes its theme
about Monte Carlo and its environs.
Every detail in the production is
accurate and perfect. There are so
many wonderful touchesof the mas
ter craftsmanship of it's creator, that
one sits positively enthralled as the
events transpire with the rapidity Of
a great wonderful dream of beauty
and brilliance.
The picture, lengthy though it is,
is not in any manner padded in
fact it has been one of the glowing
tributes that "Foolish Wives" repre-
sents the most perfectly cut" pro-
duction before the public today, and
this point alone strikes the reviewer
with genuine appreciation for the
care and accuracy which is every.
where apparent.
Beautiful night scenes. the water
carnival with its riot Of beauty and
color, the settings representing Monte
Carlo-both by day and by night
the magnificent interior views of the
famous gaming place, the Gaze de
Paris, and the Hotel de Paris, tho
sumptiously appointed hotel suites,
the verandes, the plazas, the po.ticos,
the palaces, views of the famous spot
both from the land and from the
seaside. There are all potent factors
in the enjoyment a witnessing Of the
production affords.
Foolish Wives" is a magnificent
achievement, the most elaborate
thing the screen has ever known, ami
one of the most dramatically sur
prising stories to ever find its way
tn the silent stage
Dividing honors with the Universal
masterpiece, Louis London, enter
tainer par excellence, is scoring a
most emphatic hit in his prologue

sonification of originality and clev

work than was ever seen here, and
the thunderous applause which sreets
his every appearance speaks volumes
for the appreciation Of eyeIv audi
ence for his genuine entertainment

He Liked to BE Kept In Mind.

The Sultan Of Trengganu was an
adept at excusing himself for his slight
deviations from the paths of righteous
ness. At least so if would appear from
this story, which Mr.. Charles Mayer,
his one time unofficial adviser and good
friend, tells in his recent book on the
Malay jungles.
On one Of my visits to Trengganu,
he says, spent several days with the
sultan and discussed his problems with
him. He owed sum of money, and
knowing that he had money in the
treasury, asked him why he did not
pay the debt.
He was thoughtful for time. "Well,
I'll tell you," he said at last. "If I pay
those people, they will forget about the
Sultan Of Trengganu. II | don't pay
them, they'll never forget me-"

~Let EN- Sing" He Said.

When the Harvard Glee Club made
a round Of the soldier hospitals in
Washington last week and did its bit
to cheer the way for the sick and dis
abled it came to one where>"a soldier
of the legion lay dying"
There was some questions as to
whether the club ought to sing with
the somber specter Of death that the
decision be made by the sick soldier.
"Sure, let 'em sing" said he, with a
pale, wan smile at will be happy
memory TO carry across with me-"
So the club gladdened the invalid
with song and harmony for an hour
and none responded to the ray OF sun
shine more eagerly than the dying
soldier.
Today he is still alive and the doctor
says that maybe he won't die for some
time Maybe il was the music and
maybe It was his kind Of nerve.

Altering Domestic Animals for
Many Centuries.

What curiols thing II Is to realize

Man has been altering domestic
animals of every kind for centuries
past. He has taken the common pi-
geon and invented something like 80
distinct varieties. while hundreds of
different sorts of fowls have come from
the original jungle bird of ceylon.
Curious experiments have been made
in eoloring birds BY feeding them on
certain foods. One man obtained pi-
geons of beautiful red by putting in
their food a chemical with the terrible
name of neutrality-suspicious. fiuoresine. :
aud he got others of n rich blue BY
similar means.
Man Is changing not only animals
and birds, bur also fish and insects.

various species of bees are constantly

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be
Cured

by local applications. az they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure cartarr-
hal deafness. and that is by constitu-
ional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness Is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tubes
When this tube inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deafness
is the result. Unless the inflammation
can be reduced and this tube to its nor
nal condition. hearing will be destroyed
forever. Many cases of deafness are
causedby catarrh, which is an infiamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
