MAE MURRAY in a Scene from
"JAZZMANIA"

Mae Murray has done the best
work of her photoplay career in her
latest Metro picture, "JaZZmania."
presented by Robert u Leonard at
the Colonial Theatre. where it was
seen for the first time yesterday. The
amazing versatility of this gifted
screen star was never more fully evil
denced than in this film, and it is by
all odds the most popular and enter
tanning of her pictures.
'JazZmania" has everything in it.
AS a matter of fact, it is more than
one photoplay. 1t has its background
for the most part in the colorful
kingdom of Tasmania. Il tiny Balkan
principality. 1t shifts to Paris for
a while; then to the Casino at Monte
Carlo; and finally to New York.
Spectacular scenes follow each other
with incredible swiftness; and no
sooner has one glimpsed scene Of
rare beauty than another is flashed
on the screen in its stead. Jazz
mania" is really New York Hippo
drome of filmdom.-Adv.
Good Boys Made Good Bad Boys
1t couldn't happen anywhere else
than in the films.
Boys being paid big salaries merely
for getting into mischief!
And yet that is exactly what hap
pened while Director Lloyd Ingraham
was filming "At the Sign of the Jack
o'Lantern" for the Renco Film Com
pany which is being released by Hold
k!nson.
The boys were Newton Hall and
Davis Tronis.
The story required them to slide
down bannisters and otherwise to
make themselves nuisances to their
elders. They did their work most eX-
ccllently. Mr.. Ingraham says, and put
into it much enthusiasm. In fact, the
director declares, they seemed to be
perfectly at home in their parts. and
their interpretations of their roles left
nothing to be desired.

Maine and Quebec
Forest Fire Wardens'
Cooneratiye Work

If looks like a light season IN III"
number of fires in the Maine .lor'
estry district Judging by the reports
that have come in so TAR. non.
Samuel r. Dana, State forest coiii-
missioner Monday called ATTENTION
to the fact that up to date TINS Sea-
son only one fire has been reporteu
in the district as contrasted WIN II,
1p to May - last year. Report OF
the only fire within the district Inns
spring came from BeddlnSton the
week before last. and that IRE Was
in no ways a contlagration, the Dam
age amounting to only about S4o.
Rain and cold weather mlnlmlzed
the danger of fire in the woods TINS
spring. Report has been received OIL
several fires outside the forestry
district, but all were of minor con-
sequence. The woods are now be-
ginning to get dry and Mr.. Dana is
gradually increasing the number of
Watchmen on duty. The full force
of fire wardens will be at work
about the first of June.
Forest fire wardens of Maine and
the Province of Quebec will CO.
operate this season in fighting the
fires near the international bound
ary. For the first time. arrange
mcnts have been made whereby in
cases of fire in that section, Maine
WardenS can cross the line and act
with authority. and wardens from
Quebec can come into Maine and
have authority in fire fighting work.
Several of the chief wardens of this
State have been appointed deputy
wardenS in Quebec. and a number of
the wardens in the Province have
been given appointments as special
Wardens in this State.
This spirit of cooperation is sure
to be a big boon for forest protec-
ton, and it's value can be seen from
the fact that several of the biggest
fires in Maine last season came from
across the boundary line. AT that
time our Wardens were unable to
act with authority in the work of
eXtinguishing the flames before they
reached Maine territory. Now they
can act at once to help check the
fires before they become of large
proportions.
