is to provide an artificial source of lish,
which will exactly reproduce ordinar,
daylight. Such a source of light is in
valuable in the textile industry and foI
the matching Of fabrics. One way of OBJ.

an umbrella shaped reflector on which

All ihe light used comes from this re-

An improved form of this artificial

"Can,ille"

It is obvious why Nazimova IS called the incomparable." This bril- liant actress performance in Ca mille," showing at the Central thea ter Friday and Saturday and Eagle theater next Sunday, evinces such mastery of technique and emotional quality as makes her deserve the cpl thet to perfection. Here she is at her best. and it is no exaggeration tc say that in this picture she show' herself one of the greatest actresses of the screen.
 Local picture-goers will not miss this picture. It is rarely that such masterpiece is seen, seldom that a great drama and great actress are united. And after seeing the picture, one easily understands the statement that it is one of the finest love stories Of all times, and that the play sti thrills and delights. 70 years after being produced in Paris.
 Nazimova has the roie of Camille. the woman of the underworld whom the love of Ia. law student lifts to heights of decotion and sacrifice, and who returns to her showy, pitirul life upon learning that her sweet heart has abandoned his career for

 It is a poignant tragedy that will not fail to hold interest until the very end.

Christen- sen visited several Bolshevik courts.
 Tt is fairly easy to get divorce in Soviet Russia" said Christensen whun in Riga, but understand the limit IS three for each person. If a man or wo- man has appeared in the divorce courts more than three times, he or she has very difficult time.
 Il visited one divorce hearing. It Was extremely simple. The pair was separated in half an hour. On arrival in the court room, the man and wo- man were separately questioned by the judge. He then got them together and tried to persuade them that their quarrel could be patched up and they might live together. They couldn't see it that way. so the judge took them into another room to sign papers dissolviug their marriage"
 Christensen also visited number Of peoples courts" corresponding to rclice courts in America, where per sons are tried for minor offenses. Most of the judges, he said, were dressed ir rough clothes, including brown flannel shirts.

 MT Ray has a typical role in An Old-Fashioned Boy" of which he makes the most. As David Warning ton, bashful suitor for the hand of a rather snobbish girl, he displays all those mannerisms which have contrib uted to make him famous in his es- recial field of entertainment.

"The Charm School"

"The Charm Schoof'
 One of the most charming figures in the new Paramount picture, ''THe Charm School" starring Wallace Reid, which will be shown at the Eagle theater Friday and Saturday and Central theater. next Sunday, is Lila Lee, who plays the leading femi- nine role opposite MT. Reid.
 Miss Lee will be remembered as having played with Mir Reid in Hawthorne of the U. $. A Since her remarkable work in such famous pictures as c. B. DeMille's Male and Female" in which she played the little scullery maid, and later in William DeMille's production "~ne rrlnce Chap" the popularity of the little act ress has increased by leaps and bounds.
 In this picture, she is the principal charmer of the charm school, and is the other party to the romance wnIcu blossoms when Wallace Reid, as Austin Bevans, inherits a girls school from his aunt and converts it into an institution where young ladies are taught how to be charming, grdceyui and lovely.
 The supporting cast includes many popular players and fifty beautiru young girls who appear as the pu pills of the young ladies' school. c. E Schoenbaum did the camera worn.
