DANGEROUS MARRIAGE
 AGE THEME OF FILM
Temples Feature Photoplay Deals With Cues
 ton Vitally Affecting Sanctty Of Home

It has been proved that married life with q couple which are approaching the dangerous age of forty or over is liable to become exceedingly irksome, Unless husband and wife have full com munion with each other-unless they are willing to share and share alike to face the pitfalls which come at forty, when they would go forth in search of youth, to turn their backs upon young romance and admit that the years are taking their tolI-disaster and unhappinesg will come upon them.
 This is what is reflected in "Tempo- rary Marriage" which shows at the Temple thearte Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The couple here are over forty. The husband is regarded by his wife as "slow poke"-a man without a vestige of romance in his makeup. The wife would keep up with youth. She takes beauty treatment-she dances, she craves affection, the sweet Glattery of youth. And divorce is scheduled. Then something tragic happens which spells her pretty scheme.i What is it? Is she brought back to her senses Does she reflect that her station in life is to accept the inevitable and leave the ways of youth to young men and women? What about it?
 What you will see is vivid, stark drama which pulsates with deep dramatic chords, which surges for ward carrying the spectator in a deep embrace of suspense, which thrusts it's characters in a vital drama which teaches the spectOr a lesson. It is a compelling story which will make every spectator think about the sancttiy of the home.
 The extra added attractions the first half of the week include Pathe News, Aesops Fables and comedy. DuLuxe, "One SpoOky Night" one of the most hilarious comedies ever shown here.
 Borrowed Husbands" will be the feature attraction at the temple for Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
 Director David Smith engaged the services of the proprietor of one of Los Angeles smart modista shops for technical advice regarding the sequence in the modiste 'set" in Borrowed Husband"
 Mir. Smith had rehearsed the cast before .tthe woman arrived, 50 that everything was ready. He asked her to take charge and carry out just the prOeedurej that she would follow nat

ORCHESTRA HERE HIT ON BROADWAY
Abe Lyman's Band Created New
 York Sensation

For three years out fin Los Angeles, they have been hailing Abe Lyman and his orchestra as the greatest of ehe great. His fame through Bruns- wick Records has reached nationwide popularity, and with the result that early this spring he was signed by the Keith -Orpheum Vaudeville Circuit for q trans-continental tour. This orches- trazwas given a 95 per cent rating in practically every city it appeared, and their act averaged forty minutes, which is fifteen minutes longer than the aver age dance orchestra is permitted to ap- pear. Their tour ended at the Palace theatre in New York where critics ae- claimed them the successors of White man and Hickman.

 Lyman and His Band have created q rioa on the gay white way, and 1t had been many seasons since a dance orchestra has been 50 favorably received on the street of streets.
 All of this great success has resulted in Lyman signing with one of the big elaborate musical reviews, scheduled for an early fall opening. It also proves once again, that California is capable of producing some of the greatest dance orchestras.
 Lyman today takes equal stand with the famous Isham Jones and other fa- nous orchestras.
 His first Brunswick Record, recorded since he left California, is his own com position of 'Mandalay.'' This little tune has an the melody that made such type of songs 50 popular a few years ago. Added to this is Lyman's irrestible rhythm, which makes one of the most interesting dance records issued by the Brunswick company in some time. Charl& Kaley sings the vocal chorus, and this young artist was one of the big hits in Lyman's act.

The wood may be vanished, shellacked or painted with no effect other than might be ex- pected from ordinary wood. Samples of different colors which were covered with one coat of white shellac impressed the writer as showing the grain little sharper than surface stained wood; but it is doubtful if the difference would have been apparent had the facts been unknown.-Master Painter and Deco rator.

DYEING OF LIVING TREES
COIOred Chemical Introduced At Roots,
 Permeating All The Wood

In dyeing and tinting the living tree any one of twenty-odd cOlors may be selected. The chemicals are introduced into the tree near or at the roots, after the sap has been stopped by series of borings. Through the evaporation of the moisture in the tiny cells the dye is drawn to the farthest tips of the tree. Complete saturation of the wood takes from two to ten days.
 When the process is complete, oi course, the tree is dead and ready foi the ax or saw. As the wood is worked into boards it is found to be thoroughly and evenly colOred. Hard or soft woods take the dyes equally we'll.
 After the wood is once colored it can be boiled in water, steamed or exposed to the weather for an indefinite period with no apparent effect. In other words, the wood is embalmed with per manent color. This preservative ele- ment which enters the tree also kills all insects or worms.
 Naturally the first question is how this idea of ready-tained wood will

CAsCAI1E pTr1Ncn

Birmingham residents who love to swim, to dine and to dance, will find this week in all three amusements at Cascade Plunge inducements that can not be excelled anywhere in the south. Opened only last year and costing $15O,- 900, Cascade Plunge is truly the south's most magnificent home of summer pleasure and this season has been ac- corded widespread popularity. 4
 First in popularity is the Cascade pool, made so because of the invigorat- ing freshness of it's water and the huge size of its concrete basin. When the pool was first opened, city water was used, but this season, only water di- rect from springs at the foot of the ad- jacent mountains was found sufficiently cool and fresh and no longer is 1t nee essary to drop ice blocks into the water. Chlorine filtered, 24,OOO gallons flow hourly through the pool, which is 22O by eO feet in size and to il feet in depth.
