IN MODERN BAGDAD

; Every once in a while a new film Production appears which is really worth comment in any news of the myriads of activities which start in New York City and thread their way through the whole country. When there is such a one, I like to mention it-as you probably have noticed. The other day, I saw a film of par ticular interest and particularly well done. It is ''The Grim Comedian" by Rita Wciman, whom I had always thought of as a short-story writer, but whom I shall hereafter hold in my mind as a dramatist. It is story of the stage-and not of the pleasant est aspects of that behind-the-scenes world. But its handling saves it from being commonplace or sordid. A woman whose theatrical career has led her to receive benefactions from the hand of wealthy, idling bachelor, faces the shock of seeing her own daughter the recipient of his favors Phoebe Hunt, J sck Holt, John liar ron and Gloria Hope make the char acters human and uncxaggcrated and the director has accomplished the same sort of achievement with the whole drama.

HERE'S THE NEWESTl
 EXTENDING ISLAND

New York refuses to be limited by onytbins-even the shores of it's islands. Now that Manhattan is hold ing about as many people and build ings and transportation lines as it can crowd onto it's surface, the per fectly practicable suggestion has been made-and seems likely to go through ito build the Island bigger. Wall street will be the geographical heart of the city as well as its figurative pulse when the tremendous undertak- ing shall have been accomplished. The plan is to add six square miles of land to the lower end of Manhattan Island, extending right out into the harbor, including Governors Island in it's acreage and bringing Staten Island as close as Brooklyn now is. Although stupendous in its concep- tion, it has been pronounced a per- fcctly feasible idea. Walter Russell is President of the organization formed for the purpose of effecting this unprecedented ''city extension"; :; T. Kennard Thomson, engineer; and Ernest D. Anderson, secretary-treas- urer. Each of them expresses himself as confident that Manhattan Island will have a,S4o acres more on it's sur face than nature gave it before many years. "It is not so difficult job as the building of the Panama Canal" explains MT. Russell, land may be considered only second in importance to that achievement"

EXPLOSION IS
 CAUSE OF BLAZE

(Continued from Page One) far as could be ascertained, the two men were drawing thea cid mixture from the tank car when the explosion occurred.
 The storehouses, low buildings about fifty feet in length, burst into flames, which fed on about 800 pounds of cotton contained in the buildings and 200 drums of alcohol located just outside. For time the entire plant seemed threatened and near by departments were asked be in readiness to aid the local fremen. A railway siding. separated the store houses from the main plant some distance away, and the fire was con fined to the storehouses after over an hours fight. @
 Not far from the fire were twenty metal tanks containing about 12,000 gallons of a mixture of alcohol and acids, and fears were felt that the blaze would reach these.
 The fire was still burning at noon, causing a pail of dense smoke by the burning cotton and other materials, but had about burned itself out.

Strange were the adventures that befell Alice in Wonderland. Yet they were hardly more strange than those which have come to Alice's proto- type of the real-and for that mat ter, the reel-world, an honest-to- goodness, flesh and blood Alice who has come from Hungerland to the land of miracles and prosperity-to wonderland.
 Modern Alice is now Alice Duryea, the adopted daughter of a New York woman. Six months ago she was one of the countless thousands of little orphans who are Uncle Sam's wards in the Near East. Adoption, happi- ness, and fame as a juvenile star in the movies came to her in no less amazing a manner than did the queer happenings to the story-book Alice.
 When the American Commission, sent out by the Near East Relief to make a study of suffering in the Levant, arrived in Constantinople late last summer they found conditions there and the reports of conditions in the famine zones of Transcaucasia to be so bad that it was determined to bring back to this country actual mo- tion pictures of the scenes. To soften the horror and to add interest story vas written to fit them into

Alice was taken from the orphanagc to play the heroine and accompanied the commission. She was committed to the care of Mrs. Florence Spencer Duryea, a New York woman, mem Der of the Commission, and head of the Near East Relief Bureau of Women's Organizations at National headquarters in New York. When the Commission had completed its labors and was about to return to this country, Mrs. Duryea had become so fond of her twelve year old protege that she adopted her.
 The photoplay opens with Alice, little American girl whose father is a relief worker overseas, reading the famous classic "Alice in Wonder land" There follows tale of ad venture that leads the little girl to stow-away on a ship carrying relief supplies to the Near East
 At Constantinople Alice meets her father and is taken with him on the tour of Transcaucasia, where the camera reproduces all the scenes familiar to a district in which star vation, disease, and misery are met on every hand. Mixed with these pictures are those of a more pleasant nature, taken inside the gates of Near East Relief orphanages, where the constructive work accomplished hy American efforts is shown.
