LAVISH SCENES IN
Cecil B. De Miles Production
g MANSLAUGHTER'

The most lavish scene since
Joan the Woman'!'
That's what is said of the Roman
bacchanal recently staged by Cecil
B. DeMille for his latest Paramount
production of "Manslaughter."
Several years ago the same pro-
Queer gave to the screen his classic
tale of the Maid of Orleans. At
that time thousands of EXTRAS" clad
in the picturesque costumes of the
period, were to be seen daily around
the studio and on the massive sets
created for the picture.
Since that date there have been
many huge scenes filmed at the West
Coast home of Paramount Pictures.
Hundreds and even thousands of peo-
pie have worked simultaneously be-
fore the cameras, But it remained
for Cecil B. DeMille to again set a
new mark for sheer, spectacular
splendor. And he did it with hhe
Roman scenes in "Manslaughter."
The episode, which is used to
point powerful moral shows Rome
just before the fall-pagan Rome
with all of its RIGHTEOUSNESS and de-
bauched beauty. At the heighth of
the revel-while the guests, the
dancers and the guards slumber in
drunken stupor - the barbarian
hordes storm the gates and pillage,
burn and destroy everything in their
path.
Leatrice Joy in the role of the pa
trician hostess OF this bacchanal and
Thomas Meighan as the leader of the
barbarians have the principal roles in
this as, with Lois Wilson, they have
in the major portion of the actual sto-
ry of "Manslaughter."
Credit for the stately settings goes
to Paul Tribe, art director for Cecil
B. DeMille productions, who also con
tributed to the desiging of the hun
dredds of colorful costumes. An ella
borate ballet trained by Theodore
Kosloff especially for this occasion
figured prominently in the action of this
portion OF the picture
Jeanne Macpherson, who adapted
Alice Duer Miller's story for the screen
spent many weeks in research work
preparing for the actual filming of
these scenes. Several famous paint
ings including the Thumbs Down"
painting depicting the end of gladi-
atorial combat were literally reproduc-
ed by the producer and scenarist.
"Manslaughter," which is Cecil B. De-
Miles most masterful and lavish Gre
alton is the Grand's attraction next
Monday and Tuesday.

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
By Olive Barton Roberts

The next place the Twins came to
was the Picture-Book House.
Tap, tap, tap! went Nick on the
door.
Instantly it opened and there
stood Cinde rella. Cinderella had the
chores to do and door-answering was
one Of them.
"God-day!' said she kindly, for
she liked children.
GOOD -day!" answered the Twins
politely. as the Story Teller at
homer"
"Yes, indeed" answered Cinderella.
"Come right in"
So Nancy and Nick went into the
little parlor and sat down.
Presently in came lovely lady
Just the kind of lady a story teller
ought to be. She had large pair
of scissors at her belt.
"How do you do?' she said.
What story would you like to
hear?"

With two eyes she might do better
"Tll look over all my pictures" SAID
the story teller, "and see if we can
match her" s
She brought out book after book
and magazine after magazine, with
all sorts of cut-outs in all shapes
and sizes.
Here is. where she was cut out,
said the story teller, pointing to a
page with hole in it. Indeed. it
was a perfect outline of the Cut-Out
Lady, sharp nose and all.
"Why do believe this picture on
the other page matches her exactly >
said the story teller. Gust see how
it fits. You take my scissors and
cut it out and paste it on her other
sidc,- then she will have two good
sides and two good eyes. Then. per-
haps, she can sew the Gingerbread
Mans buttons on straight"
The Twins set to work at once.

RELIEF For FARMER

Steele, N. d., Mar. 20, 1913.
Editor Tribune:
We all realize that some relief
should be accorded the wheat farm
er and each method suggested is too
complicated to be workable. To or
ganize two million farmers is almost
impossible, and very expensive. To
reduce the acreage is not practical,
as no man knows what he will har-
vest when he sows. If the acreage
was reduced and We had a short crop
it would become necessary to inn
port wheat which would be costly
to the entire nation.
All the farmers organizations
have been costly to the farmers and
have brought him no benefits. Rough
~ speaking we export about one
fifth of our crop and if the farmers
paid into the government five cents
on every bushcl marketed through
grain markets it would take care OF
the difference between an arbitrary
price of twenty-five cents bushel
over the Liverpool price.
My idea is that a law passed re-
curing Chicago to pay twenty-five
cents bushel over Liverpool and
the government to rebate to export
ers twenty-five cents "A bushel or
presentation of export bill of ladlnl
from the fund created out Of the
collection Of five cents bushel OF
all the wheat raised in this country
This would need no appropriation OF
any new organization as we have
| everything to carry this through ant
| the farmers would be financing thi:
themselves. The only direct ia;
would be borne by al! the people
paying just little bit more for theiI
| flour, and as all other industries arr
protected along the same lines, ant
; the farmer is paying more for tn
articles he buys to keep the stand
ard OF living little higher for al
workers in this country, no on
should object to the farmer havin,
the same advantage.
am not generally speaking il
favor Of laws to correct all things
but Il law seems necessary to &C
complish results as it is difficult TO
two million people to handle thei
| troubles in an economic way withou
a law. Large corporations can NEE
at banquets and arrange their price
to take advantage of the protection
the tariff was intended to afford, blu
without law teh farmer is receiv
ing no benefits from what he sell
and is paying more for what he buy
to protect other industries.
This is just submitted for you
consideration.
