Farmer on Dancing
What does the farmer think
about dancing.
This question, among others per-
tanning to rural recreation, was
submitted to a representation %
agriculturists by students of coun-
try life at Ohio State University.
In districts where dancing was
formerly frowned upon almost with
out exception. II was found that
only about half the inhabitants now
are definitely opposed to this form
Of recreation.
More precisely, 80 per cent Of
the farmers queried said they con-
sidered dancing sinful, while 10 per
cent guessed" 1t was all right and
20 per cent were in favor of 1t.
However, 6S per cent said the
country needs no more play, that
the nation already has a super
abundance of recreation with so
much work to be done.
According. to P. g. Beck, who su-
pervised the survey, one family
even considered croquet sinful. The
head Of this house is sa1d to have
refused to make further contribu.
tions to the pastors salary fund
until the croQuet wickets were re-
moved from the churchyard.

 BONDED WOMAN
Betty Compson Takes -st Leading Part In Screen
 Play

.tThe Bonded Woman" Betty Comp son's Paramount picture, claims dis tinction by reason of the fact that 1t has two leading men, John Bowers and Richard Dix being the two contenders ' for the favor of the heroine.
 ff In this adaptation by Albert Shelby LeVino of John Fleming Wilson's story, The Salving of John Somers," the in terest of the spectator as we'll as his sympathy for both men is said to be maintained to the very end by the un- certainty as to which one Angela Gas kell will eventually marry. Much of the action takes place on the sea and there are two shipwreek scenes.
 John Bowers, who piays the role of John Somers, played opposite Mary Miles Minter in "A Cumberland Ro- nance" and has had important roles in such successes as "The Silent Call' and The Sky Pilot" He recently finished the leading role of John Ridd in Mau- rice Tourneur's Lorna Doone."
 Richard Dix, who is seen as the other man, is appearing in his first Para mount picture. After several years on the stage, Mir. Dix entered pictures in

ADJUSTMENTS
AT THE TEMPLE

Patrons of the silent drama who en- joy their film fare with action, thrills and plenty of dramatic interest will find all of these ingredients in "Un- seeing Eyes," picturized by the Cosmo- politan Corporation from one of Arthur Stringer's most stirring stories of the great Canadian Northwest. The new picture, in which Lionel Barrymore and Seena Owen are featured, opened at the Temple theatre last night for a three- i day engagement.
 Practically everything that the public loves, from a thrilling aeroplane race to girl who loses herself in the snow covered wilderness and, stricken with an attack of snow-blindness, goes through the most narrowing experi- ences, is to be found in "Unseeing Eyes" There are big fight scenes that the so realistic that you will find your self gripping the edges of your chair in suspense. And as a background for the quick succession of dramatic incidents there are some of the most pictorially beautifully scenes of the Canadian Rockies that ever have been filmed. The picture was actually made in tbe Cana dian Rockies and is a marvel of photo graphic achievement.
