PICTURE |GREY'S GREATEST
Colors Lend Charm To sWanderer Of The
 Wasteland'

With natural colors throughout Zane Grey s Wanderer of the Wasteland,' 7 a drama of the gold seeking west in the seventies, win be shown at the Strand theatre one week beginning Monday. The coiofs through the entire film mark the first photoplay ever attempted by Paramount in the new etechnicolor'' process, an invention of two years ago; but used only for experimental purposes until the production of the s'yRanderer of the Wasteland.n <,
 The drama presents an excellent cast including Jack Holt, KRthlyn Williams, Noah Beery and Billie Dove who lend dramatic interest and atomosphere to the western scenes, the real beauty of which iss retained through the picture by colors. sl4
 < The "Wanderer," Jack Holt through the desert and over the sand hills, evad- ing the law for fear of punishment of a crime that was never, committed, and with deaden conscience, forms the dramatic background of the photoplay. The desert scenes, stretching into the blue and purple horizon, the tall, quiet mountains, glowing with tints sprayed by the setting sun, all are caught in their, natural color by the technicolor process. VI
 Close Up Views
 Close up views of the characters of the drama in real colors are even clearer than the older type of picture whose ob- sense of natural colors cause drabness. If realism H sought. in pictures, the greatest step toward the ideal has beeh attained in the pictures that retain the natural eolors of the scenes aud dress of the characters.
 Full color films, though acting and drama are still featured throughout, are new, and as such must run. the dis couraging gauntlet of the monomaniacs regarding progress. With such a stimula- ton producers can spend their time de- veloping this new technieolor until it will be all that, reproduction of life-like things can attain.
 Colors at first are liable to detract from the story, and appear phantasmal, but only until the color becomes fac miliar, then it will cause the photoplay to gain interests as color close-ups are more efrclent than plain photography.
 Sets New Standard
 Color work is not difficult to under stand, two films pass behind the lens simultaneously rather than one. Prisms separate the red and the green of the picture. On one film the reds are re- corded and on the other the greens. When these are combined in the final process in the laboratories, a red filter eliminates everything from the green except the greer. shades and a green filter eliminates all but red. The two films are then cemeted together so that the finished print shows blue, yellow, orange, gold and straw color as well as shaees of red and green. The process has developed So that tdere is no run ming of colors.
 The photoplay will prove one of the most popular of this season at the Strand, and will begin the desire of peo- pie for a newer and higher class of t,ic- ture, the photoplay with natural color.

Herman beat Burke last night at
the latter's own game-infighting.
The New Orleans heavyweight did
not show anything against Her
man. He seemed more inclined TO
"tin-can-it," To use the parlance of
the fight game. Only once during
the bout. and that happened in the
eighth round, after he had been
warned TO get out and fighf, did
Burke show any great signs Of
fighting.
"Tlny," on the other hand. was the
aggressor after the fourth round and
tried his best to make Burke stand
up and fight. The southerner's abil-
ify to tie Herman up and then hit
"Tiny'' with his free hand caused him
to lose many points during the fight.
The decision. which was rendered
by "Curley" Ulrich OF st. Paul, was
applauded by some and booed by
some. all OF which is expected oil nm
Omaha fight crowd.
In our opinion Herman won the
victory. He didn't beat Burke by n
mile or two or even half block. but
he was the aggressor throughout the
10 rounds aud didn't hold his op'
ponent like Martin did. Those things
count In summing up n fight.
