Peacock Alley" Is
Gorgeous Production

It is not often that motion picture
fans are given the opportunity to see
the latest and most stylish costumes
presented by one of the most attrac-
tive artists of the screen in 4 story
vibrant with romance and adventure,
but that is what Mae Murray's latest
picture, Peacock Alley" is. 1t will
be shown at the Magic City Theater
tonight and Friday, February 1924.
In this Metro release for Tiffany
Productions, Inc, presented by Rob-
ert z. Leonard, Miss Murray portrays
the part of a Partisan dancer, who,
as the darling of the famous city Of
pleasure, is feted and adored for her
daring and artistic creations. She
falls in love with a youthful Ameri-
can, a small town boy, and goes back
to his home only to find that the peo-
pie of the little village are scandalized
at his French wife. The rude awak-
ening among the bright lights of
Broadway gives this story a turn
which makes it one Of the most dra-
matte offerings of the screen.
Peacock Alley" is typically a Mae
Murray picture. It's gorgeous set
tings and the costly costumes of the
star are outstanding features in an
offering which at its special showing
in New York won the unstinted praise
of the critics as being one of the
most beautiful and gorgeous produc-
tions of the screen. The cast sup
porting Miss Murray is a most nota-
BILE one and includes Monte Blue in
the leading male role, Edmund Lowe,
W. J. Ferguson, Andres Randolf, Will
liam Tooker, Howard Lang, William
Frederick, NJ. Durant and Jeffrys
Lewis. Peacock Alley" is by Ed
mund Goulding, based on a story by
Ouida Bergere. It was directed by
Robert z. Leonard and photographed
by Oliver T. Marsh.

ONLY 1O45 REGISTER
OUT OF ABOUT 1000

Citizens Of Bogalusa evidently do
not care much whether they vote or
not in the elections of this year,
which includes the city contest, if one
is to Judge from the result Of the reg
istration which was held all last week
at the City Hall, for out of about
1000 who paid their poll tax, only
1O45 registered, Of which not more
than 200 were women, which con-
clusively proves the women are not
taking much interest in politics as
yet. However, those who failed to
register will have another opportun-
ity, for Registrar of Voters Magee
stated that before the first election
Of the year he would be at each pre-
cinct in this city for one day, which
will afford an opportunity to the
thousand who did not register to do
so. But after he spends this day at
each precinct the books will be closed
until after the election.

POOR PLACE TO HIDE MONEY
French Peasant Now Convinced That
J Shotgun Is Unreliable as a ,#.
e@~ 1xS. Bank of Deposit. ;a !.

The ingenuity of French peasants in
hiding money has surpassed itself in
the case of man near Lorient who
received 1000 franc note and a
800 franc note in payment for prod
uce. He hid them in the muzzles of
his double-barreled shotgun, believing
that would be the last place thieves
would search for money.
He made mistake, however, in not
taking his wife into the secret A
neighbor called a few days later, in
the absence Of the man of the house,
and asked for the loan Of the gun to
get a hare.
The hare escaped and when the
peasant came in that evening his wife
remarked that the neighbor must be a
very bad shot.
''Why?" the peasant asked.
Because he used both charges of
your gun on hare without hitting it,
"My shotgun?" inquired the peasant
with a gasp, at the same time making
for the corner where the weapon hung.
The civil court of the department of
Morbihan will have to decide the deli
cate point of law whether the neigh
Dor is responsible for the loss Of the
1,5O0 francs. :v

Few Slang Phrases Last.

The leniency with Which some school
teachers look on the use Of slang, as
reported in various interviews, may
shock those Of an age to have secured
their idea Of correct English from the
McGuffey series of readers. It is true
that the selections composing those
readers were of an era wherein the
language was at variance with what is
heard today. 1t may have been stilted,
but it did not corrupt the mind of the
pupil. In fact, many persons got
from the old fifth and sixth readers
their knowledge of good literature.
There was not word resembling
slang in the books.
It is true that slang is expressive.
That is why it is used. Yet much Of
1t quickly passes out Of use because it
it overworked. Few words suffer a
like fate, though occasionally under
stress of circumstances a word Of
creditable origin is repeated to the
point where it becomes necessary to
discard it because it is "shopworn."

Express Dragon Flies.

When we. come to BIRDS we find
many very high speeds. Swifts have
been known to overtake an airplane
in flight. Their speed has been calcu-
lated to exceed one hundred miles an
hour sometimes. The racing pigeon
has on several occasions done short
journeys at sixty miles an hour. The
golden ployer is very speedy, but his
turning, twisting flight makes it diff
cult to time him accurately over any
distance. The pheasant, though he
does not look a very rapid fier, can
do 45 miles an hour.
Among insects, the most rapid is
probably the dragon-1y, who does as
much as 80 miles an hour in his swift
dashes from place to place. The bee
is capable Of travelling at a speed OF
20 miles an hour, and he achieves ii
by beating his wings more than 6OC
times a second sixty beats for every
i yard he travels.

CAN DO WONDERS IN CANOE
Eskimos Are Literally Part OF the
Frail Graft Which They Have
Named "kayak."

Built Of sealskin, with the fur inside,
stretched over a framework of wood
the Eskimo canoe-called a Kayak"
lis only about ten feet long, and
often not two feet wide at its widest
part, tapering ito nothing at both
ends. The greatest width of the
kayak is at the middle. Here there
is combing which slightly rises above
the deck. The rest Of the deck, save
this hole Just large enough to admit
of the passage Of the body ola man,
is covered with sealskin.
When the Eskimo goes out in a
kayak, he puts on a special sealskin,
waterproof shirt over his regular cloth
ing. With very great care he steps
into the kayak, sliding his feet over
the tender bottom until he is seated
on the wooden seat which is only the
thickness Of the wood above the bot
tom. Then he draws over the. comb
ing the end of his shirt, which tightly
fits the combing part Of the kayak.
Experts Of Greenland learn to turn
a somersault in canoe and come up
again on even keel, an exchange states.
But the best Of the Eskimos Of Green
land are not content with merely be-
ing able to right the kayak when it
overturns. They practice until they
are able to paddle the kayak in such
way that they shoot ahead on their
course even as they turn that danger
GUS sOmersault in the sea.

bride.-Lord Lyttleton.
NTEVER send any sort of formal In
vltatlon to Mrs. John Brown and
not to her husband when sotller
men are invited to the event. That IS
it is not in good form to invite either
husband or wife to a formal party
without inviting the other when per.
sons OF both sexes are invited. If YOU
ere giving tea for your daughter.
and no men are invited, then YOU NAV
invite Mrs. Brown and not Mr.. Brown,
IL IS not customary to ask a man or
woman to be your house guest with
out including the husband or wife in
the invitation. You would hardly ask
u man to spend weekend at your
home without asking his wife: also
unless because Of absence from town
or some other reason it was quite
patent that She could not be present.
Never ask husband or wife to a
dinner party where both sexes: are
present without asking. the other. Sup
pose MI. Brown belongs to a musical
club, to which musical folk of both
sexes belong, and the members of this
club give a dinner. If Mr. Brown has
wife, then she should be invited, and
SO, also, should the husbands and
wives Of the other members. How
ever, if only men or only women be-
longed to the club, then the dinner
might be given for the members with.
out including the husbands; or wives.
Any sort of announcement lis. sent
to both husband and wife, even where
only one is known. This applies to an.
nouncements Of weddings and births.
A reader writes to say that she is
planning a wedding anniversary and
that, as a part Of the festivities, she
wishes to have dinner at which lust
the ones who were in the original we'd
ding party should be present. Now it
happens that since the wedding one of
the bridesmaids and two of the ushers
have been married. May the ushers
not be asked without their wives and
may the bridesmaid not be asked
without her husband?
No. The invitations should be sent
! to the couple in both cases. Not to dC
SO would be to show real discourtesy
| to the persons invited, as we'll as to
the ones to whom they are married.
| However, it should be remembered
that married folk, even though they
are "neWlyWeds," are not seated next
to each other at parties. They should
not of their own accord seek. to mo-
nopollze each others society. AT d
dance, married folk, though they usu

with any other person, should show
their sociableness by dancing will

times to decline to waltz with any one
