 T thought that was just where honey did grow" Cufy exclaimed.

has gone to prove to the world
that he is indeed, Nearly a Hero.
In~terspersed throughout the action
of h comedy are ten exceptional
vaudeville offerings by members of
the Revue company including the
Lyric Q%uartetto which will
be heard in all new selections-rang-
ing from jazz to grand opera. The
p~hotoplay, THE Death Dance" with
Alice Brady as the star. shows this
clever little lady at her best.
In 1.-THE Death Dance" there is n
scene in which an important bit OF
dramatic acting takes place during
the performance of n difficult char
ncter dance. This dance is performed
by the star. and the ordinary pro.
cedure in pictures would be to en-
ploy an expert dancer resembling the
star as much as possible in type, and
have her costumed in such n manner
hat when the dance Is given the
audience could scarcely tell that the
star herself was not performing the
steps. This Illusion would be height
ened by tho dim lighting and clever
cutting OF scenes. Alice Brady, how
ever, would not consent to such an
arrangement. The scene being an
important one. tho star insisted upon
playing It herself. and when her
director objected that nothing but a
skilled performance Of tho character
dance called for could be accepted,
Miss Brady promptly decided TO ac-
quire the technical skill which she
lacked for such a performance.

What Can France Do?

Paris, Jan. II (By Associated Press). of resistance by the German government to the French Ruhr plans has raised the question of what France may be able to do if she encounters systematic passive obstruction.
 Economists and engineers are agreed that the district cannot be made production without German CO., operation unless the allies undertake the vast problem of recognizing the entire economic life of the region.
 Capital Is Needed.
 The first essential, it is believed, is to furnish the valley with working capital. as it is regarded that Berlin will naturally withdraw funds if she adopts policy of obstruction. This raises the question of whether it would be possible or practicable to substitute the franc for the mark. There is opinion to the effect that this could be done as in the Saar val ley.
 The Germans, it is believed in off, cial circles, will not allow obstruc- tionist tactics to go so far as to pro- yoke such measure, because they are already worried over the effect produced by the use of the franc in
