Rays new picture is we'll worth

C0LUMBIA-Agnes Ayres, in
s.Borderland."

Few moving picture enthusiasts
would suspect that "Borderland," the
title of Agnes Ayres' latest starring
vehicle, suggests the realm beyond
death where souls are purged OF their
earthly sins so that they may later
enter brighter and happier sphere.
About half of the film is used to give
sufficiently vivid impression of this
purgatory, and neither the hot nor
the cold portions are forgotten.
Beings enveloped in white draperies
slowly and painfully. toll along, sill
grounds that are really triumphs In
expressionistic art. and are, in fact,
the most interesting features Of the
picture, until they reach magic
pool which reflects happenings on the
earth. Each soul sees therein the &C.
tions of it's own descendants, and II
it desires to give a warning, its length
of time in the "borderland is less
ened, for great sacrifice and suffer-
ing are necessary to reach the earth.
The story is concerned with the
spirit of Dora Beckett, who makes the
journey to caution her great-great-
niece against leaving her husband and
son to go with a young cousin OF her
husbands. The eloping couple had
stopped at the old family home as a
the spirit enters they stop that
'spooky feeling" with music. cocktails
and dancing. In desperation, the spirit
goes to the caretaker's lodge. wnere
she succeeds in communicating with
an aged family servant. who is SO
near the 'borderland" that she hears
the voice and obeys it's orders. For
the first time in years she rises from
the chair where she has lain par
alyzed, and walks to the house in
time to prevent the guilty wife from
leaving it. Prompted by the spirit
presence, she relates the tale of its
earthly sin, which had sentenced 1t
to roam the ''borderland" in search
of a deserted child who had been
burned to death when the mother ran
away with her husbands half-brother.
Shocked and warned by the story.
Dora Becket's niece abandons her
plans to elope and hastens to her own
child, just in time to save its life.
At the same time the spirit finds her
child, and the final fadeout discloses
the two among the clouds with angels
floating by.

comedy, Supply and Demand" and
by. an orchestral selection, "Pique.

IN HANDS OF BANDITS
Outlaws Reported to Be Pillaging
Lands of Settlers in

NEW ORLEANS, La, July a.
American and British farmers have
left Patagonia because of labor trou-
bles and the activities of bandits in
some parts of that country. according
to George E. Hunziker. here today
from Rio Gallegos. Patagonia.
Mr.. Hunziker was manager of a
large sheep ranch near that place, but
fear of further trouble with the ban
dts caused him to return to the
United States. he said.
The trouble, he said, started as a
strike of farm hands. but developed
Into an uprising. Farm buildings and
boundary fences were burned, and
many farmers and their families were
taken prisoners, Mr.. Hunziker said.
The government sent troops to quell
the uprising. and had the situation
under control when he left, but
stated that 1t was the general belief
among farmers in the Rio Gallegos
vicinity that the bandits would begin
operations again.

HEARING AUGUST II
ON TRAFFIC PETITIONS
Single Overhead Trolley System on
Kenilworth Line One of
Projects to Consider.

A public hearing will be held in the
boardroom Of the District building on
the morning of August II to consider
the following proposition: Application
Of the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company for permission to sub
stitute a single overhead trolley sys-
tenn. using a grounded return wire.
for the present double overhead sys-
tenn on the kenilworth branch OF the
Columbia lines and on the Bladens-
burg line.
Application of the Washington and
Maryland Railroad Company to make
the same change in it's wiring from
14th street and Colorado avenue to
Takoma Park.
Petition of the Sixteenth Street
Heights Citizens Association for an
extension of the Washington Rapid
Transit Bus line from 18th and Bu-
chanan streets along 10Th street and
Alaska avenue to the District line at
Georgia avenue.
According to railway officials, the
proposed change in trolley wires not
| only will effect the small saving in
operating cost, but will greatly i'm
prove service, by reducing possibility
of tie-ups due to faulty wires. At the
| present time there are two wires over
the tracks, one being used for the re-
turn of the current to complete the
circuit. The proposed plan is to have

CRANDALL'S-"When Romance
Rides"

Just one scene in the screen ver-
sion of Zane Grey's wild Fire."
shown under the title when Romance
Rides" is worth the time taken to go
to .Crandalls this week. 1t is the
feature of the bill presented yester-
day for a three day run. That scene
is the climax when the heroine, Claire
Adams, tied face downward on a rum
away maddened horse. plunges to-
ward bottomless cavern. That
scene furnishes enough thrills for the
afternoon or evening, but If that is
not entirely sufficient, what is char
acterized by the producers as "the
greatest horse race" on the screen
may make the breath come a little
quicker
The picture lags just enough to
give the audience an opportunity to
see. study and appreciate the scenic
backgrounds that Zane Grey has so
often tried to paint with the pen.
Beside Claire Adams, the cast in
cludes Carl Gantvoort and Jean Hers
holt. The beautiful stallion Wild
fire; the dopy horse Sage Brush.
and -tin-tin, a valuable Belgian
police dog. hold a greater portion of
the attention. Without them the pic
ture might not be the thrill it is.
