THE FIRE BRIDE" AT COLISEUM TONIGHT

Realism can go bit too far, take 1t from Art Rosson, director, and the members of the American motion pie tnre company which went to Tahiti in the South Seas to film "The Fire Bride" the picture of romance, ad- venture and mystery which is coming to the Coliseum Theater tonight and tomorrow.
 The story called for scene in Q terrific tropical storm, and the assist ants were preparing to unlimber the 'Awlnd macbine,"~ which furnishes gales for most of the movies, when a real tornado sprang up. Before shel ter could be sought, the actors and director were caught in the hurricane and swept off their feet, whi.e trees We're upnooted nearby. Only the cam eran.an, John W. Boyle, who hap pened to be in natural sAa,ter of rocks, escaped. and he went on grind ing until the storm blew ever, as suddenly as it had come.
 The result was some spectacular scenes as thrilling as anything ever shown on the screen. Ruth henetk, Edward Hearn, Fred Stant '.l and Walt Whitman were the play,'s Im- rerilled so unexpectedly. Incidchtal- fy. fair-sized schooner which tic company was using for the picture was wrecked on the shore by the storm.

NOTED SINGER OF NORTH DIES
 ON THE COAST
Madam Lloyd, Former Opera Star Passes Away Sang
 Tn Dawson and Alaska.
(Da wson News.)

Madam Pearl Lloyd, one of the most talented singers ever in the North, died in San Francisco Decem- Der IF. She will be remembered by all old-time Dawsorites Madam Lloyd was in Dawson in the height of the excitement following the gold strike, and spent several seasons here. She appeared here many times in professional engagements, and as- sisted in many other entertanme ents. Prior to coming North she had had an extensive experience as a singer fin grand opera, and possessed a beautiful soprano voice, with which she had won public rlaudts as vocalist in several continents. Per haps no other singer of such wide experience and such range and beau ty of voice ever sang in Dawson. Her rendition of many a difficult aria fnom the more famous classic operas revealed in Dawson on many occa- sions her remarkable talent She also sang in Fairbanks, Nome and other northern centers, and event ually returned to the Pacific Coast and made her home in San Francisco until her death. During her sojourn in Dawson she became acquainted with and later married Captain Will liam Bledsoe, one of the best known early1day pilots of the old Alaska Commercial Company and the North ern Navigation Company's packets on hhe lower river. After the wedding the singer, however. continued to be known to many as Madam Lloyd as well as Madam Bledsoe. A copy of the San Francisco Chronicle re- ceived in the last mail refers to her death as follows.
 That her ashes be scattered on the Pacific Ocean, which she had many times crossed was the last re- quest of Madam Pearl Lloyd, also known al5 Madam Bedsoe. singer of note, who died in San Francisco, De- cember IT. Her will, in which she made the request, wls filed for pro bate recently. It names Charles w. Smith, 36 Macondray Street, not only her beneficiary but the adminis- trator of her estate When the court appoints him administrator, Smith says, he will charter tug and full fill in every detail the provisions of the will.
 The only estate left by Madam Lloyd was the property at 36 Mac ondray Street, now occupied by Smith and which passes to him.
 Madam Lloyd was well known as a singer both in Australia and the United States. She sang also in Yukon and Alaska many times"

GLORIA SWANSON COMING TO COLISEUM

A Wild West exhibition that rivals he frontier days at Cheyenne, Wyom- ing, was staged at the Lasky ranch in connection with the filming of Gloria Swansons latest Paramount picture, Her Husbands Trademark" ," showing next Sunday at the Coliseum Theater.
 iBroncho-busting. rope-throwing and bull-dogging steers by cowboys and Mexicans made up one of the thrill ing scenes in tho picture at the Span ish ranch house.
 A big feature of this sequence was an old-fashioned Spanish barbecue. Fer this a group of Mexican barbecue experts were hired by Sam Wood, the director to cook the meat. Huge quarters of beef were wrapped in burlap, put on tho grill, covered with dirt and roasted. When the meat was cooked it was placed on large pancakes of Tortillo, Mexican hard bread, to be eaton. After the scenes wore filmed, everybody had a regu- lar feast. Local newspaper repre- sentatves attended tho barbecue, which was somewhat of an event in the annals of film novelties and the newspaper people, like actors. had excellent appetites.
 Miss Swanson is supported in this production by a capable cast, includ- ing Richard Wayne, Stuart Holmes, Lucien Dttlefield, Charles Ogle, Blythe Chapman and Clarence Bur ton. Lorna Moon wrote the scenario from the photoplay by Clara Der anger
