ne cause OF much speculation as to the rca-
son which inspires it,
The State Department at WASHINGTON has
pat the best face possible on the matter as
Stunning that France has been too much oc-
cupicd with other matters to give alton
non to the treaties. Confidence is professcd
thal when France does ratify. Belgium.
Italy. Portugal and the Netherlands will
follow suit quickly. But the suggestion
has been made by others. supposedly we'll
informed as TO what * going on that there
Is another reason for the delay, and that is
desire to punish this country for its re-
iusal TO participate in European affairs. In
support OF this view. ii is explained that il
l. undeniably true that when the conference
treaties were agreed OH the European ma
tlons represented in tho conference expect
ed 10 see the United states warm up to the
European problem. The British French
ana Italian statesmen undoubtedly believed
that when they agreed to the treaties the
, United States would take represent alton on
the PREPARATIONS commission They also he
| lieved until they heard from the United
States to the contrary that this government
would participate in the Genoa conference.
Hence. il is Il reasonable assumption that
| failure on the part Of the United States to
meet any of these expectations is the real
| reason the nations referred to are hanging
! fire on ratifyng the treaties. SO long as
| they remain unratiied by these powers, the
| full benefits Of the work OF the conference

On the Screen
''Janc Eyre" at Sheridan The.
ater Is Faithful Reproduce
ton of Classic
By Harriette Underhill

Hugo Balin's superb production of
Charlotte Bronte's novel, "Janc Eyre"
opened at the Sheridan Thcatcr last
Sunday, but owing to the multiplicity
Of openings in the theaters nearer
home VIC we're unable to view this pic
turc until last night. The way in which
Mr.. Ballin has transferred this classic
to the screen delighted us, who do not.
as rule. find plays and books at all
satisfactory with a cclluloid finish. But
Mr.. Ballin has started out by showing
picture Of Thackeray as he begins to
read the book. If VIC remember cor
rectly. the opening sentence is, "Thcrc

John Winchester as governcss for his
young ward.
In putting this story on the screen
MI ballin has simply begun at the be-
ginning and followed the book to the
end. But this is not the only nor per
maps the greatest virtue which the pic
ture possesses, although it is so UNI
usual that VIC have mentioned it first
lest 1T be inadvertently crowded out.
Mr. Balin has selected a cast that is
practically perfect. On the way out Of
the theatcr listened to the comments.

very young woman, 'Tsn't that fine

Winchester of the story, the man who
had the wife who used to shrek like
screech owl and try to murder
people in their sleep. No names are
given on the program. and the rest of
the cast we could not identity. but all
we're excellent.
The photography is beautiful. the
costumes and settings perfect and the
titles excellent. When asked who did

figure Her voice WAS we'll trained
coloratura, remarkably pure in tone
and accurate in pitch, with an easy

Guilty was lack Of volume. Her small.
delicate voice was often overbornc in
ensembles and at times in tho duets
with Tito Schipa, who gave n rather
uneven performance as Alfredo Ger
mont, with emphasis on the vocal high
lights.
Another debut was that of Joseph
Schwartz, who has not appeared hero
in opera before, although he has been
heard in concerts He was dlgnified
and patcrnal while expressive, in the
rather ungrateful part Of the elder
Gcrmont which he sang in a deep, pow
erful voice, sometimes rough, but cf-
fcctive.
The aria "Di Provenza" won general
applause and an encore. Other parts
were taken by Mines. D'Hermanoy and
Co1rcnti and Messrs. Mojica, Defrcre,
Civai, Nicolay and Cantor, with dances
by Andreas Pavley and the ballet corps.
Angelo Ferrari conducted the perform
ancc, which was warmly applauded by
large and demonstrative audience.

Miss Peggy Wood, singing the pro-

She was in something loose and

scene and advertised the contents of

Thereafter, in the little crescent Of

DR.. Felix's music was gentle, though
at times intricate, and the verse by
Bryan Hooker and the adaptation by
Catherine Chisholm Cushing were rev
erently in the mood of Mr.. l.. n
Parkers play. The presence of a
chorus of graceful and good looking
young yocalists in the winsomc cloth
ing of the period interfercd not a bit
with the tales unfolding. IN fact, the
translation of the comedy into opera
enhanced its value; and those hunger
ing for sweet musical entertainment,
dignified, ranncrly and with its hu-
morous moments, are counscllcd to
avail themselves Of the opportunity at

voice, her ability to act and her de-
lightfully self-conscious charm were
effectively disposed in the part of the

pains. LennoY Pawle was again

like young person who sang. danced
and was a comedienne in a refreshing
and thoroughly natural fashion. An
excessive generosity in the matter of
encores last night was a wearyinc
handicap to complete enjoyment of the
performance. The mere rustlinp of a
play-bill seemed enough to cause the
repetition of Il number, and it was
almost midnight before the lovers in
volved reached their blissfu dcstina
tions.

Grand THEATRE IN DEVILS Lake
PLACES ORDER FOR RADI0PH0NE

For many years Devils Lake has
boasted of having the finest theatre
in the state, but from now on will be
able to go all theatres in the state
even one better, by having radio
phone installed at the Grand. Archie
Miller, the popular manager of this
house of entertainment, while in Min
neapolis last week ordered complete
radiophone outfit for the theatre
here, and same will be installed by
an expert in about ten days.
The radiophone will prove a great
attraction for the Grand in more ways
than one. It being the only outfit of
its kind in this part of the state it
will prove very interesting, not only
from it's educational value, but from
the entertainment it provides as well.
Newspapers for many months have
been filled with reading matter tell
ing of this wonderful invention, and
everyone here has wanted to see one
work. All will be given an opnortun-
ity to see messages picked out of the
