FEATHER TOM" AT PALACE TOMORROW

The Palace Theater will present next Friday and Saturday, the new Playgoers' feature, Father Tom," in which the distinguished character ac. tor, Tom Wise, is starred.
 Father Tom" is a clean and wholesome drama concerning the every day life in rural community where the only smudge on an other wise spotless town is "The Inn," a roadhouse.
 The story tolls simply. yet dramat- ically, the efforts of Father Tom to mako ''The Inn" a respectable place that they can be proud of; of his interest and match making part in the romance of Bob and Margie; and of his efforts to pay off a mortgage.
 Father Tom" propounds no belief, unholds no creed and proves no moral. It is just picture of the every day occurrences of life told in such a way that it can be appre- ciated and understood by young and old, by men and women.

 COLISEUM SATURDAY

Olive Thomas in another of the "baby vamp' roles that made her famous is. promised in "The Flappers" a delightful Selznick comedy, which is to be shown at the Coliseum The ater at the matinee Saturday and on Saturday night.
 'The Flapper" is just another "Sev- enteen.' And you remember that @Seyenteen' was a Booth Tarkington story that painted the first faithful picture of boy sufferinf his first romance. "The F1apper" had been raised in a very strict atmosphere and she longed for the jazzy climate of the wild and wicked world.
 So she is sent to a boarding school. Her pose as a woman of the world went over big with her school mates. Her ambitions to be wild led her into a flock of scrapes, which reached a climax in a robbery mys- tery and thrilling expose.

TO DARKEN HAIR

Common garden sage Drewed into heavy tea with sulphur added will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just few applications will prove revelation if yonr hair is fading, streaked or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get a bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound at any drug store all ready for use This is the old-time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients.
 While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful. we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and at tractivenessN By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sul- phur Compound, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, 60 evenly.

 To followers of the photo-drama familiar with this story it is easy to realize the need for extensive travel in making the picture. The scenes of Carthage were actually taken on the African continent. The crossing of the Alps by Hannibal 5 army was filmed both in Spain and in Switzerland. Sicily was the loca- ton for the eruption of Mount Etna as well as for some of the domestic scenes in the earlier part of the picture.

BELL IS TOLLED;
 WINDOWS BREAK
Largest Bell in America Is of No Use - Rung Once
 Since Jan., 1896.

CINCINNATI, O.. Jan. 1S.--The largest bell in America and the sec ond largest bell in the world is To- cated in Cincinnati and hangs sus- pended in the belfry of the St. Francis de Sales church here While no verifcation of the presence of the famous bell in Moscow. Russia, is the Soviet regime, it is believed that .the largest bell in the world still remains intact there.
 The bell here has been rupg but once. That<was in the early part of January, 1896, just 27 years ago, when its obstreperous tone shattered windows in buildings near the church and it was agreed thnt the tower was in grave danger of collapsing. Since then it has beon tapped only by large hammer. the bells clapper remaining in a vertical and dormant position for safety sake.
 Cast in Cincinnati in memory of its donor, Joseph Buddeke, a former Cincinnati merchant the bell was hauled to it's present location by 40 teams of horses. It weighs approxi- mately 30.000 pounds and is nearly 12 feet high and 10 feet across it's rim. The cost of the bronze memo rial was $10,OO0.
 The tone of the bell is E flat and were it to be rung it's sound could be heard within a radius of 15 miles of Cincinnati. But with the simple process of striking it with a ham, mcr, the sound is no louder than any other bell-~ The bell rests 125 feot above the ground

Co-Educational System
 Raises Strong Objections

MANILA, P. l., Jan. 1S.-The CO., educational system of instruction in the public schools of the Philippine Islands is a failure in the opinion of Representative Jesus Cuenco, who embodies his views in a bill which he introduced in the house, abolish ing 1t completely in the elementary and secondary schools. Representa- tive Cueneo in presenting the bill said:
 The co-educational system in vogue in this country, instead of raising the standard of morality, has as it's direct outcome flashlight mar riages, early maturing of the women, elopememts and number of other changes which have immoral tenden- cies."

William Alder of the Universal Film Company, who were shipwrecked on the coast of Dutch New Guinea, took the scenes as they went along. The results are far more thrilling than if they had used manufactured plot.
 What scenarst or director could write story as strange as the daily habits of these weird people, whose woman disfigure themselves for the sake of beauty? Of children, who at 3 and 10 years of age, appear as 40?
 In the midst of a tropical storm that almost wrecked their apparatus, these two men stood bravcly by their camera and while the lightning struck near them and tall palms crashed at their feet, Ncrsnged out hundreds of feet of film, the like of which never had been equalled.

ARABS GIFT TOO
 MUCH FOR HERMAN

LONDON, Jan. IS.--Queer stories. arc told by members of the Royal Air Forces stationed in Irak. Recently an officer with small party of men went into remote part of the dssert to establish an emergency landing ground. They built camp on the spot, and this attracted the attention of an Arab tribe. who were. at the outset, in clincd to be suspicious.
 By showing consideration and do- ing small kinduessos for the chief and his men the airmen ingratiated themselves, and soon the relations between the two were of the most friendly kind.
 Indeed, tho chief of the tribe be- came almost too friendly, for. when the party made preparations for leaving. he sought to give one of his daughters in marriage to the officer
 The latter tried to point out that, much as he appreciated the offer. ho was unable to accept, as he hoped one day to make girl in England his wife. The chief could not un- dcrstand why the R. A. F. officer should not have moro than one wife, and the situation seemed likely to become embarrassing.
 Then the officer thought of a ruse. He told the Arab that he could not accept the daughter until he had been granted permission of those in authority in Mesopotamia.
 He explained that he would set out to seek this, and thct, probably, he would return ftr the girl. And the chiefs daughter is no doubt still waiting for tho coming of the bird man"

short story Contesta

Persons who like to write, or who
want to learn how, will welcome the
announcement from station WBZ that a
course in short-story writing will be
broadcast at regular intervals beginning
Thursday at 7:40 pm.
Dr. j. Berg ESenwein, an authority on
short-story writing, has been chosen by
WIZ to give the course. Every Thurs
day evening, at the same hour, and
continuing for ten weeks, DR. Esenwein
will give ten separate and complete lee
lures on the elements of writing de-
veiopment of plots, climaxes, treatment.
ETC., which will cover the subject in a
most thorough manner.
AT the conclusion of the course anY
person who has been listening to the
series of lectures will be eligible to
enter the contest of short-story writ :
ing. for which a first prize of S25, a
second and third prize of SIS and $40,
respectively, will be awarded. DIR. Esen-
vein will outline briefly at the begin
ming of the course the conditions for the
contest and fans should listen in care
fully, as the stories will have TO be writ
ten so as to show that the course has
been followed faithfully.
The introduction of this feature in
the program of the WESTINGHOUSE sta :
tion at Springfield is 'an innovation in
broadcasting. IL is the belief of the
station that such a course will accom-
piish more to justify broadcasting than
the miscellaneous talks. which have
| been so current at most stations, The
outcome of this experiment is to be
watched with interest.
