Eyes of the Heart"

Learning how to be blind, Of all the things film stars are called upon to do-certainly education in blindness would seem to rank among the most peculiar.
 And yet this was the situation fac ing Mary Miles Minter upon assum- ing the role of Laura in Eyes of the Heart, in which she may be seen at he Lyric theatre Tuesday For Laura is a blind girl who has been brought up by family of crooks. She does not know who her friends really are, but believes them to be both beauti- full and good. She thinks he tene- ment home wonderful mansion with windows looking out on flower gar dens, instead of dirty, sordid street The consequent disillusionment on gaining her, sight and the fight for happiness which ensues make a re- markedly dramatic story, considered not only the most unusual but also the best thing Miss Minter has ever done.
 For week before starting the pie ture Miss Minter made daily visits to school for the blind in Los An geles. She watched the manners, gait and gestures of blind girls, and prac- ticed initiating them when she went home.

and Saturday and Eagle theatre next Sunday This is a magnificent picture and it may be maintained that it is one of the best he has thus far pre- scented to an admiring motion picture public.
 The theme, as handled by Beulah Marie Dix and Sada Cowan, and sug- gested by Leonard Merrick's notable story, "The Laurels and the Lady" is one of absorbing appeal while the pro- duction in point of direction, setting and acting is as far above the average motion picture as the tropical sun is different from the Arctic moon. It is a succession of surprises, dramatic moments that grow in intensity as they follow each other on the screen, and the character portrayals are gems of mimetic art.
 The story deals with the love of an American soldier for a French dancer who later meets an American girl in a Mexican cantina whose love he spurns. Through blindness which later comes to him because of silly act on the part of the latter girl, he marries her in the belief that she is the French girl. He recovers his sight. annuls the marriage and in his search for the French girl is lead to Siam where she proves her worthlessness and forces him to seek his former wife with whom he finds happiness. Dor othy Dalton is the American dancer. Mildred Harris the French girl, and Conrad Nigel leading man.

unusual drama has been elaborately adapted from the sensational novel, N N'Atlantide," by that master of French fiction, Pierre Benoit It has been the sensation of Europe for some time past.

After being found and again declared fit for service, he, with two brother officers set out on the sandy trail to find the desert queen, whom he real iZes he loves and cannot forget.
 The settings in Missing Husbands especially in the palace of Antinea. are superb and breathe in extreme ex- travagance the splendor and grandeur of the old world. Local patrons should indeed congratulate themselves on be- ing so fortunate as to see such a re- markable and tremendously success ful picturized novel as Missing Illus bands"

"The Bronze Bell"

Many spectacular night scenes, em- bodying wierdly beautiful lighting ef- as out-of-th-ordinary as the plot of the story itself, are included in "The Bronze Bell" the big Paramount pie ture which will be featured at the Central theatre today and Monday. It is an Ince-Vance Special. A number of the startling episodes of the story were photographed between dusk and dawn, resulting in bizarre atmosphere and background which are in perfect accord with the action of characters.
 The most impressice of the scenes of the picture are those within the great Hindu Temple of the Bronze Bell" a massive stone monument wherein, amid sharply contrasting lights and shadows, fanatic natives are routed by British soldiery and revo- lutionary plot against the government crushed

Kinder Plays a Reverie

THERE is something almost pastoral
 I in a charming and thoughtful record
 by Hans Kinder on the Victor Oc- tober lists. "ReVerie," from its very simplicity, calls for cello tone rich, clear and resonant, thrown into sweet relief by deep orchestral harmonies. It is like being lost in an absorbing book to hear this simple record.
 That moment in HGnon when Des Grieux offers his materialistic and im- possible fair vision of a modest paradise in a woodland cottage calls for an exacting balance of dramatic power and poetic sympathy. "H Sogno" (The Dream) gives Tito Schipa full opportunity to demonstrate why Ma non" happens to be one of his two favorite operas. This new Victor Record of his is soft. high. tenuous, dreamy. in strong contrast with the ruggedness of his first recordings.

"The Man From Lost Riverp


 A powerful drama of conflicting love interests, with it's locale a North western lumber camp, is promised by Goldwyn, when the latest Frank Lloyd production "The Man From Lost Riv- CT, is shown at the Lyric theatre for two days, beginning today The story is the first original photoplay written by Katharine Newlin- Burt, whose two previous stories, "The Branding Iron" and "Snowblind," have ben made into stirring motion pictures by Goldwyn.
 'The. Man From Lost. River" pie lures the trials of a powerful, patient lumber cam foreman in standing by" the girl he loves while weak nephew of a millionaire marries her, .neglects her and eventually proves his utter unworthiness. An act of providence strips all the characters in the play to their fundamental fineness or base ness, at the same time that wicked ness receives its just reward.

New Record by curci Sings "Swanee River. Instrumental Solo and Group Numbers of Distinction

A MONO the new Victor releases [1 for October is the second record
 by Enrico Caruso to be issued since his death. It is a secular record, from an opera nOw nearly forgotten-the Salvador Rosa" of Antonio Carlos Co., mes, greatest of Brazilian composers. The number IS barcarolle-like melody sung by Genariello, boy servant in the studio Of Salvador Rosa. Originally sung by soprano, Caruso reawakes the great days in singing it, in all his historical magnihcence of style It is an air incredibly Italian, considering its origin, rising here and there. as Caruso' records will, to un-ivalled pitches of intensity.
 Probably the greatest of American popular songs, "Oid Folks dt Home" has been persistently misused by those unable 10 conceive melody for them selves, When you hear Galli-Curci sing it. as she does on a new Victor Record for October, you realize again the original power of its homely feel ing. lt IS here sung by one of the sweetest voices that ever Shaped a phrase, in style of simple and ex- quisite purity with friendly little trace of accent.

 Beneath the glitter and chatter of most so-ealled Spanish music" is splendid depth and soberness. The andante movement from Labs "Sym- phone Espagnole," which Mischa Fl- man has chosen for a new October Victor Record forms an excellent eN- ample of the finer clements of the music of Spain. It is mostly in minor key, the deep, sombre tones of the c string being relieved by others of all most piercing brightness. The emotions take first place. but for lovers of tech nique there are notably fine glissando and some beautifully clear harmonics. An odd scene, even for Italian opera, finds its way to one of the October Vic tor Records. Tito Ruffo sings it-that moment from "Ernani,"' where Don Carlos, King of Spain, has overheard a conspiracy against himself while concealed in the tomb or Charlemagne. In this great aria-"O de verdi ami miei" (Oh Bright and .Fleeting Shad- ows)-he dilates on the uncertainty of life and human affairs. Ruffo makes 1t completely realistic.

Brahms "Valse Sentimentale," how ever, Is Franz Schubert's, combining something of the splendid balance of the later composer, with the true Schu- bertian simplicity and pathos. It is played wholly with the bow. with a pure, singing tone and perfect under standing of the sense of phrasing.
 A .niinuet suggests a dainty, almost mincing, dance. Bizet's Minnet from plays 1t on a new October Victor Record, is anything but that. It is bold, dashing, and always highly me lodious. In style it is something be- tween Chopin and .Grieg, with sugges- tions of the formers lyric ecstacy and the fatter's savage power of rhythm As played it shows Rachmaninoh in a mood entirely different from any yet disclosed.

Two chill dren's society agents have been sus- pended in connection with the case.
 T am going to make a thorough investigation and I do not care who 1t htts,' said Mir. Banton. I'd be very glad to have Mir. Rickard come here and tell his story and I hope he brings Walter Fields one of hts employees, with him. If my inves- tisation warrants I will also lay tho facts before the grand jury" Mir, banton had conference on the in-. Yesugation with Ernest K. Coulter, general manager for the chiIdren's society, this afternoon.
