Plenty of Action in New Valentino
Paramount Film

Movie fans who yearn for action
in pictures will get plenty of it when
Monsieur Beaucaire," the Sidney Oh
colt production for Paramount starr
ing Rudolph Valentino, comes to the
Augusta Opera House next Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
The Booth Harrington story has
been unchanged except for the inser-
ton of a number of scenes in the
opening of the picture in order to
build up the French episodes in the
story. In the original book there
were no French scenes, all the action
taking place in England with the in
cidents in France merely mentioned
at different places in the story. While
there is plenty of dramatic suspense
in the French scenes in the picture
there is little actual physical combat,
except for the closing scenes of the
episode showing the supper table of
King Louis XIV. 1t is here the action
takes place that ends up with the
Duke de Chartres, played by Valen-
tino, defying the King who has or
dered the Duke to marry the Princess
Bourbon Cont. The scenes showing
Rudy resisting the efforts of the
thrilling as any yet put upon the
screen.
But it is In the English episode
that Valentino has most of his fight
ing to do. Posing as Beaucaire. q
barber, the Duke soon gets into trou-
BILE by trying to win Lady Mary away
from Lord Winterset. After several
unsuccessful attempts to have Beau
caire permanently removed from act
i've competition for Lady Mary's
hand, Winterset finally hires six
swordsmen to do the work. valen-
tino's scrap with these six men is a
classic.
The action in this scene takes place
on the terrace of a nobleman's home
near Bath. Incidentally, Director Oh
colt had the biggest set ever built at
Paramount's Long Island studio for
this scene. the entire floor space on

GIGANTIC POWER
IN NEW WABASH
RIVER STATION
Steam Turbines Installed Are
Among Largest in
State,

Observations on the operation Of
the gigantic steam turbines installed
at the new Wabash River super
power station Of indiana Electric
Corporation near Terre Haute are
disclosing their efficiency. The pre-
hminary figures called for a high
theoretical economy in coal con-
sumption. and operations so far OBJ
served show that this is being rea-
lized. These steam turbines are
nearly the largest primary power
producers in Indiana, and are Ger.
tainly the largest in central Indiana.
Two now in operation develop
nearly 81. 900 horse power each. and
there will be five in all installed in
the Wabash River station before it's
plan is fully completed. The theory
of the installation of the Wabash
Rives station was that it should be
set down In the heart Of the coal
producing territory and be supplied
with coal which would entail no rail
service required being a switch move
ment. eAt present the coal supply
is from nearby mines, but the com
pany has nearly 1000 acres of coal
lands in its own ownership, which
will be developed and held as a re-
serve. The contents of the COM
pany's own coal lands are alone esti-
mated to provide a forty-years' sup
ply for Wabash River station, this
fuel supply insurance being in
creased by whatever amount is con-
sumed from nearby mines in other
ownership. One economic effect of
this establishment on coal mining
will be to make as much OF it as
is required for this power supply an
everyday business, not dependent on
fluctuations in the market or coal
car supply. To the extent of the
labor required for this production
the mining labor used will be con-
tinuously employed.
The new Wabash River station
which was established to furnish
power to subsidiary companies of
Central Indiana Power Company
giving service in Marion and thirty
one other counties. is being watched
by electric power men the country
over. 1t is the first modernly.built
contribution to the super-power idea,

of the invention. A charger, de-
signed by Dr. Warren. worked sue
cessfully on the last experiment
and it is believed will be developed
to such a degree that the rain
making possibilities of the inven.
ton are not at all remote.
The question of determining
whether the vapor is positive or
negative answers itself. If the
negative sand fails to dispel the
fog then it is negative fog. and
must be neutralized with positive
electricity The plane pilot merely
pulls a second lever and the error
is corrected.
1t is predicted that a squadron
of five or six planes. discharging
two tons of electrified sand, could
clear up all Of New York bay in
as short a time as it would take
them to fly over 1t.

To dissipate the vapor, negative
electricity is discharged into the posi-
tive fog or cloud, and vice versa.
Thus fog becomes rain and falls to
earth. This naturalization process
is said to be scientific law and con-
tains no particular mystery. How
ever. the problem of how the effect
could be accomplished was one that
stumped the experimeuters.
Then the combination of an air
plane and electrified sand was nit
upon and tried out. A De Haviland
light bomber plance. capable of
flying eighty-flve miles an hour,
was equipped with sand tanks and
devices to discharge the sand at
will. The sand. when elected, au-
