STORM RACES AS MEN
FIGHT TO THE DEATH

Did you ever consider, while view
ing storm in motion picture, what
tremendous task it must be for man
to realistically duplicate the fury of
the elements? On the most terrifying
electric storms ever screened in which
two men are engaged in a death
struggle is to be seen in Alice Brady's
latest Paramount picture, "The Leop-
ardess." which is at the Plaza Theatre
on Friday of next week. 1t is a storm
at sea, the realism of which has never
been surpassed in any previous pro-
duction. If one could have stepped in
to Paramount's Eastern studio during
the filming of this picture, they would
have observed a most interesting
spectacle.

Ann Arbor, Mich, December 80
Blind from birth, with his concep-
~tion of the heavens formed by de-
scriptions from others, Joseph Cald-
well of Indiana, Pennsylvania, is
studying astronomy at the University
OF Michigan in order that he may
meet the scientifical requirements to
permit him TO be graduated from the
college OF Literature, Science and
Arts.
Mr.. Caldwell, a sophomore and
forty six years old, is doubly handi-
capped. In addition to his blindness,
he lacks the mechanical aids for the
study of astronomy that often are af :
forded students who take up other
studies. Blind students OF astrono-
my are so rare that there are no text
books with raised type. Therefore,
he depends upon fellow students TO
read his lessons to him. So prof-
Gent has he become, his professors
say, that he frequently memories
a lesson by hearing it read only a
few times.
In addition to astronomy, MT.
caldwell is studying psychology

ranks as one of the most adept stu
dents In his classes.
