MIGHT HAPPEN ANYWHERE
=. OUTSIDE OF MOSCOW

Here is a story with a moral, which
is going the rounds of the press. A
leading grocer stepped into the bank
to buy a draft which he was going to
send to a catalogue house for a swell
bedroom suite. Flows business? %
asked the banker. ooh, not SO very
gooda' replied the grocer. Fittings
are dull just now"
Before the banker finished writing
the draft, a dapper young man repre-
senting a big printing establishment
in another state, stepped up. He and
the banker chatted pleasantly for a
a few minutes, after which the young
man inquired of his friend behind the
window if he wanted anything.
well, yes, 1 believe I do. Print US
5000 drafts, 5000 checks and a couple
thousand letter heads"
An hour later a drygoods merchant
was starting down town when his
wife reminded him Of his most i'm
portant duty during the day: "Now,
my dear, be sure and send to the
city for that new radio outfit so we
can have it for Sunday. You know
our old Victrola is getting so that it
is not fit to be heard"
Just a few blocks away the mer-
cHanC VINO nandleS V1ctrOlaS nd furn-
iture was sitting at breakfast with
his family. John" said the lady of
the house." 81 must be going to the
city not later than mex week. 1 must
get school clothes and suit for myself
and while there perhaps I had better
see about new lace curtains for the
windows"
That night the local business men
had a meeting at the town hall to
discuss the growth of the m%ail-order
evil. ALI gentlemen mentioned in
the narrative delivered short talks. |
They agreed that the farmers were
guilty of treason to their home mer-
chants when they persisted in buy
ing goods from mail-order houses, |
and the meeting closed by adopting |
resolutions against trading
away from home.

NO DAYTIME SCENERY IN
THIS TALE OF MYSTERY

"Alias The Night Wind" the
William Russell production made fo1
William Fox, is perhaps the first
motion picture ever produced which
does not show a single daylight
"shot".
The story, being mysterious in a
high degree, and framed by the
streets of a great American Metrop-
oils, required a unique setting. This
director Joseph Franz found in the
presentation Of a city in it's noctur-
nal lights and shodows.
The difficulties encountered in the
execution of this idea were so nu-
and apparently insurmount-
able that more than once it was
thought impossible to continue.
Gigantic sunlight arcs, brilliant
Kleigs, baby spotlights, hippo
'Sspots" were employed to make
these night street scenes things of
glamour.
The cast was tremendously taxed.
Night work was not in an uncommon
thing. And this in addition to day
work for the interior scenes were
shot" indoors during the day and
exterior outdoors during the
night.
