NOW PLAYING AT The WEIR rHEATER

ten million gallons of sea water were
sprayed to convey an Enthusiastically
vivid picture of tiday wave in action.
Costly structures went by the boards"
when the sea swept in; but it all re-
suited in a film record which any
geographical sieiety would want to
keep on account of its accuracy
All this discloses an interesting
contrast from the comfortable home
and mode of life which Paul Stand
ish, likeable chap, played by j. War
rem Kerrigan, lives when he resides in
the states, before business ventures
turned out bad for his father and him
self, and he decides to leave, rather
suddenly so that whatever might
arise, all blame would point towards
himself alone.
The woman who meant most in his
life, Mary Rogers, portrayed by Anna
Q. Nilsson, was to have been his bride
the evening of the very day that he
had to flee. So two big sorrows filled
his heart as he embarked upon a

tropics.
With his spirit broken by his un-
forgetable past, and his exile from his
loved ones, he soon became a prey to
vice, sinking swiftly to the level of
the outcast. But everybody about
him drank, gambled and staggered.
The motley crew he mixed with
thought no more of human life than
their counter parts, the ferocious
jungle beasts. Every country of Eu-
rope had contributed at least one man
and the United States had yielded
half dozen, while the natives of the
Malayan peninsula, China, Japan, and
adjoining isles, flooded the islands to
do coolie labor, although a portion of
their holder, and more desperate fell
lows mixed with the white men in
their vice.
Nearly all this struggling mass of
vicious life ceased to exist one day,
because of within of nature. The
dry season made way for the rainy
season, bringing a typhoon, which in
turn, brought a tidal wave. The
heights of drama are attained through
out this storm which few would care
to miss.

Fury of the Typhoon Reproduced for
Film; Big Tidal Staged
For Picture

An unsolved mystery exists about
one of natures greatest destroyers,
the typhoon, which still continues to
sweep across the tropics and take
a heartless toll of human life and
property. There are times when great
destructive winds accompany tidal
waves and destroy, as only water can,
with a fury equal to volcanoes. AZ
This is skillfully filmed in the re-
cent Universal Super-Jewel produc-
tion. 'Thundering Dawn" which will
be first shown at the Weir theater be-
ginning Monday. Harry Carson, who
directed the production, spared no eff
fort or expense to attain needed ele-

WELLS SUBJECTED TO UNIVERSITY "RAGGING"
Edinburgh Students "Try' istin- guished Author On Serious Charge

LONDON, April 21.-(By Associated Press .)-Rags, in the parlance of English university students, are not rags at all in the ordinary sense. If there were a glossary of English and American slang, the American equi- valent of rag probably would be razz.
 To illustrate: When the students of Edinburgh university recently re- fused to allow former Prime Min ister Lloyd George to make his speech on politics, that was a rag. When somebody threw live hen from the balcony, sending the audi ence below into an uproar, it was decidedly a rag.
 The most recent concrete denom- stration of the word occurred lately at Leeds when II. c. Wells, the au- thor, was subjected to a severe rag ging by the students of the city oi Leeds Training college. MT. Wells went to the institution to deliver a lecture, and the first thing he knew one of the students. carrying q broom representing the wand of justice, accosted the author and de- clared:
 T arrest you in the name of the Crown and Anehor.'
 The technical charge against the
 
 number of dots with felonious in- tent" in his various books Without chance to protest, Mir. Wells was dra gged to the students court, tried and summarly sentenced.
 This was the sentence: You must either transcribe your Outline of History from Morse to Semaphore or work it out in cunieform writing without the assistance of the Mea- bite stone and the Tel-el lamarna tablets"
 Although MT. Wells counsel, in dulging in the copious puns for which English barristers are famous. put up a strong plea that the use Of dots was q professional privilege and that the use of so many dots tended to prove that the prisoner was in his dotage. thus constituting eXtentuat- ing circumstances. there was no ap- peal from the judges sentence. It was decided by tEe court" that this excessive use of dots was a peril to phonetics and dominoes, and MT. Wells had to take the consequences.
 Mir. Wells. however, submitted to the ragging like T good sport and in perfect cockney accent declared to the court that he could do the sen fence "on me ,ead."
