TROPICS TALE

A foreign atmosphere pervades
Washington picture theaters TINS
week, with France and the Tropics
contributing equally.
In the tropical locale, Anna z.
Nilsson is the dominating figure
masduerading as a boy IN South
African setting, and appearing IN
an entirely feminine role IN
"Thundering Dawn" the principal
scenes of which are laid in the
South Seas. The two pictures have
another point in common; in both
of them she brings about the
regeneration OF a man enslaVed by
drink.
At Loew's Palace she may be
seen in '"Thundering Dawn" In
full possession of her beautiful
blond tresses, with which for
arts sake, she recently parted
in order to play the boy in
''Ponjola."
LAUNDERING Dawn" has many
points to commend it, several to
condemn it. Its Sc, .ngs are
magnificient-luxurious interiors
in the Stanley home III Boston,
where the story opens, and the un-
rivaled beauties OF Nature forming
a background for the picturesque
native huts of Java. in the South
Seas, where most of the action
takes place.
1t is well directed. and has an
excellent cast. J. Warren Kerri-
gan enactS well the role of Jack
Standish, scion of an aristocratic
family, who falls into the clutches
of a native siren and a villianous
trader of Java and is dragged ever
deeper until his fiancee appears on
the scene and helps him win back
to his former honor and integrity.
Since Miss Nilsson has never
been known to disappoint, no fur
ther comment is necessary, except
that she appears in but a small
portion Of the picture.

the forest scenes of haunting
beauty, the thrilling struggle on

splendor and thrill to the pic
ture.
Aside from the splendor of the
settings, another of the factors
contributory to the great success
of this $1,50O,0OO picture is the
gorgeousness of the costumes.
Gowns worn by Alma Rubens, the
heroine, and the regal robes OF
Mary McLaren as Queen Anne,
Rose Coghlan as Marie de Medici.

n1arvels of the costumers' art. y

Director George Wild has given
the film an attractive musical
setting. The overture and many
of the accompanying numbers

Victor Herbert and William Peters.
The settings are by Joseph Urban.

To emphasize the struggle OF q

is an unpretty pastel of treachery,

ANCIENTS RELISHED CHEESE

1t may not be generally known that
cheese was made as early as 1000 B.
c. It was an important commodity in
Roman commerce at a very early
date. AS the Romans conquered the
rest of Europe and carried their in
dustries into these sections the know
ledge of the value and use of cheese
was spread. People living in that part
of Europe now known as Germany
were using cheese as early as the
eighth century. England undoubtedly
learned of cheese from the Romans
who were the powerful people of that
period and large consumers of cheese.
During the dark ages cheese was
made mostly by the inmates of monas-
teries. These people were very in
fuential in popularizing cheese as
they taught others how to make it.
BY the tenth century cheese was an
important item in European commerce,
and during the fifteenth century cheese
markets were established in Switzer-
land. Some of these markets are in
existence today, and are operated in
the same way, practically, as they
were in their beginning. One brand
of Swiss cheese has been made in
one locality and under about the same
conditions for over ten centuries

BAND NOTES

The Lancaster Municipal Band has
finished another successful season OF
out door band concerts. Judging from
the enormous crowds that attended
these concerts up to the very last, the
band and music rendered pleased eV-
erybody.
, On behalf of the members of the
band and citizens who enjoyed these
concerts we wish to thank the sing
ers who cooperated with the band and
helped make these free entertainments
a success.
The band will give concerts in the
Grantland theatre, probably about
once a month, if not interfering with
the regular attra ctions booked there.
A small price of admission will be
charged to pay for light and heat.
The management of the band has
made arrangements with Mr.. Maso of
Fennimore and will put on short
band concert followed by a dance at
his hall on Oct. oath. The concert will
start at 500 o'clock and will last I'M
til 900 o'clock, after which dancing
will start promptly. A nine piece or
chestra will furnish music for the
dance and the members are now busy
rehearsing lively tunes and dreamy
waltzes and judging from the pro-
gress made it will be challenge or
ganization. The Instrumentation is
three saxophones, violin, two trum-
pets, trombone, BIB base, piano and
drums. The band usually holds dance
once year and asks the public's sup
port to make this real success.
Remember the concert and dance at
Maso hall, Fennimore, Oct. oath.

Education Too Widespread.

1t seems to the Herald that as new
avenues of learning open up the ten
dency of the schools is to push the
pupils into them, neglecting funda-
mentals.
Our belief is that an educated man
a hundred years ago, was far better
educated man than the man of today.
He was better grounded on fundamen-
tails and he was better able to sur
vey life and cope with it. And above
all he had far better grasp of the
principles of English and could couch
his thought in clearer terms.
