surge. Imagine the surprise Of New
York audiences and critics when as
"The Marriage Circle" unfolded they
realized they were witnessing a very
piquant domestic comedy drama, but
the manner in which it was handled
brought them the realization that
here was something new to the screen,
something bigger than all of the surg
ing mob scenes, the tremendous sets,
the colorful pageants of other super
films and the bathroom suggestive
ness of some directors.
"The Marriage Circle" had some
thing that no other picture with the
possible exception Of Chaplin's "A
Woman of Paris" had, namely the
mark of intelligence, or perhaps
something more than that-the mark
of genius that recognized the intelli-
gence of others. The critics looked
back at the great epic making screen
plays of the past. The Birth of a
Nation" represented spectacle, "Brok-
en- Blossoms" had brought beauty,
real beauty to the screen; John
Barrymore had given an unrivaled
performance in "Dr. Jekyl and Mr..
HYDE" even DeMille gave something
in "Male and Female" but none of
them mark the step forward or bridge
the gap that Lubitsch has with "The
Marriage Circle"
Picture What Others Fear.
The realist has reached the screen.
He has dominated the stage and litera-
ture for a long time. but he has been
kept off the screen. There has some
how existed an idea that 'the motion
picture is not a good medium for
realism, and because the camera
records SO infinitely and accurately
directors have seemed afraid. Now
Lubitsch has led the way.
His is deft. Sophisticated touch.
It is not the harsh realism of lola
that is present in his "The Marriage
Circle" He does not try to disgust
his audience. He has too much Of
the theater in his blood to do that,
he knows that primarily the play
house is the place of amusement, and
Lubitsch will never be guilty of con-
cocting entertainment that does not
fill that requisite first. "The Mar
riage Circle" amuses from first to
last. Perhaps the principal thing
that Lubitsch has done is to grant
his audiences the possession of in;
telligence. He leaves something TO
their imagination. He does not force
inane and unnecessary sub-titlcs upon
them. The movement of his players
are not the over-emphasized and thea
trical movements of actors playing
to screen audiences in the orthodox
screen manner, but the movements Of
real people.
Some may say that the character
of Mizzi, as played by Marie Provost
is overdrawn. Lubitsch asks you to
read the front page OF the daily
newspapers. If this does not convince
you that there are Mizzis, plenty of
them living right today in staid Amer
lea, he then asks you to remember
that the setting of "The Marriage
Circle" is Vienna--Vienna, that light
hearted city on the Danube that has
ever been noted for the beauty OF

the unstinted praise of every critic ;
in fact, was hailed as the most I'M
usual photoplay of the year and is ex-
pected TO mark a new era in photo
play-making. 1t was conceived. by
Ernst Lubitsch, the famous European
director who made Pola Negri and
who startled the screen world with
"Passion" and Deception" a few
years ago. Recently he directed Mary
Pickford in "Rosita."
Lubitsch has always been consid-
cred a master Of color and movement.
His mob scenes and poignant dramatic
contrasts have always illuminated his
pictures and carried them on with a

DEAREST: The sharp, bowling

thought present in my mind; L sec
but one vision in the shadowy flames.
That vision, dear heart, is of you.

moments the past comes back to me,
your soft arms entwined about my
neck. your fair, white cheek upon my
shoulder. The soft glow of the fire

with the radiance of a thousand
candles. Gently, sweetheart, L draw
your mouth to mine, and as our lips
meet the light of an eternal heaven
opens before me. l feel the throb of
your heart against my breast, and /
find solace in the thought that love
like ours shall never falter.
Beloved, must this dream be
broken? Surely a love likR ours is
meant to burn together. / cannot
live without you. 1t is terrible that
anything ever should have caused us
TO quarrel. You were tired. dear, and
/ seemed unreasonable. How can /
ever make amends for that one insane
moment which destroyed your faith
in me?
Dear. IL you could know the suf-
fering l have endured since our part
ing. 1 was but youth then, but IN
this interval man has been created,
a man whose will has overcome all
weakness but whose soul lies dormant
yearning for the great love only you
can bestow.

CHAPTER XVIII
AS an Army with Banners.

- AZ FNAAA'g - '
The American army had been sold
by Arnold. The noble ideal it had
cherished, the blood it had given, the
bitter hardships it had suffered-tor-
ture in the wilderness, famine in the
Highlands, long marches of half
naked men in m%ld-winter, massacres
at Wyoming and Cherry Valley-all
this had been bartered away, like a
shipload Of turnips, to satisfy the
greed of one man. Again thirty pieces
of silverl Was a nation to walk the
bitter way to its Calvary? Major
Andre, the adjutant general of Sir
Henry CIinton's large force in New
York, was with the traitor when ne
rowed from the ship to the west shore
of the Hudson and went into the bush
under the observation of Solomon
with his spy-glass. Arnold was to re-
ceive a command and large pay in
the British army. The consideration
had been the delivery of maps SHOW
ing the positions of Washington's men
and the plans of his forts and other
u6lcuSeS, GSpCNidlN NHOoO VI
Putnam and Clinton and Battery
Knox. Much other information was
put in the hands of the British Off
Ger, including the prospective move
ments of the commander in chief. He
was to be taken in the house of the
man he had befriended. Andre had
only to reach New York with his
treasure and Arnold to hold the on
fdence of his chief for a few days
and, before the leaves had fallen, the
war would end. The American army
and its master mind would be at the
mercy of Sir Henry Clinton.
Andre would have reached New
York that night if The Vulture had
not changed her position on account
of a shot from the battery below
Stony Point. Fol- that, credit must be
given to the good scout Solomon
Binkus. The ship was not in sight
when the two men came out In their
boat from the west shore of the river
while the night was falling. Arnold
had heard the shot and now that the
ship had left he feared that his treach-
cry was suspected.

Plan Works Too Well

Brides Weep EIGHT Days.

The Bahuma tribesmen ia Uganda,
central Alphabetically in the heart
of the world-are the widest and
most uncivilized people of the world.
They have unusually peculiar GUS
toms. Perhaps the most interesting
of these is the in which g
bride is supposed to conduct herself
before her marriage.
To begin with, a bride Is literally
dragged away from her home by her
husband. Her family ties a rope
around her leg and hold fast to her.
Then the bridegroom pulls as harJ
as he can. If he cannot succeed In
~overpowering the strength of his
brides family they weaken their hold
on the fetter and make it appear that
the husband has won his tug-of-war.
Then the victorious bridegroom
takes his bride to the home of his
mother. The most passionate weep
ing is done by the bride. She cries
for eight days without stopping.-De-

Give Children Short Names.


Parents should not give their chill
dren long names. If a child is named
Epaphroditus Bartholomew Hol-
combe-Smith, Jr., and if he survives
such an appellation, he will probably
lose what will amount to three years
of his life in writing his full name on
those frequent occasions when 1t be-
comes necessary. Furthermore, par
ents should give a daughter only one
name; then when she marries, she
can preserve the family name be-
tween her Christian and her hus-
bands last name. When 1 was a boy,
l knew a girl named May Day. Such
a name closely approaches perfec-
ton think Of the time saved in writ
ing checks and on other occasions! 1t
is, also hard on a child to give 1t q
name that few can either pronounce
or spell; the victim has to spend a
large slice of his life answering ques-
lions and making explanations. A
name is an individuals only label,
the only thing standing between him
and absolute oblivion. Children are
at the mercy of their parents in this
as in so many other ways.-Scribner's

WEALTH OF SOUTH
NEARLY QUADRUPLED
ESTIMATES OF GOVERNMENT
SHOW THAT 1T is ST., 358,707,-
900. INTERESTING FIGURES.

From a summary complied from
government estimates published in the
Manufacturers Record it is ascertain
ed that the south's wealth has nearly
quadrupled since 1900.
In 1922 the total wealth of the
southern states was 81, 358,7O7, 600
compared with $3o,o90,853,000 in 1912,
an increase of $31, 1867 $4,000, or 78.4
per cent. The rapid progress made by
this section in recent years may be
visualized when it is realized that the
value of all property in the sixteen
states OF the south increased from
$17, o19, 100000 in 1900 to 81, 358,7O7,-
900 in 1922, and the wealth of this sec
ton is about $1,000,000000 more than
the value of the countrys wealth out
sile the south in 1900 and $28,O00,OOO,-
900 more than the wealth OF the entire
United States in 1880.
Considering the percentage hgures
for individual southern states, it IS
found that North Carolina heads the
list with an increase of 175.7 per cent
in wealth since 1912, followed by Flor
ida with an increase of 1929 per cent
and Tennessee with 1902 per cent.
In actual gains in wealth since 1912
Missouri led with an increase Of 81
$40. 1000, or III per cent; Texas in
creased by $3,552,650,000; North Car
DINA by $2,8O5, $4,000; Virginia by
Isl. 526,995, 900 and Tennessee by 81

Muskrat Fur Leads in
Output; $5,OOO,OOO Value
Production in Canada in 1928 Nearly
Third of Total Fur Crop.

Raw fur production in Canada
reached a value of $16,76l, 567 in 1923,
according to a report issued by the
Dominion bureau OF statistics.
Pelts from fur-bearing animals ia
ken in the dominion during the year
numbered 4,963966, comprising the
catch of trappers and the skins OF
ranch-bred animals.
Muskrat led all the other furs in
value and quantity last year, the report
shows, amounting to 3,846,l61 pelts
valued at $5,077,8 1856 Fox was next in
order of value with $3,015,348 to its
credit. Beaver was third with a value
OF $2,461, 667, followed by mink with
$l,371,41 marten with $l045,8l and
silver fox with $774,348.
In the maritime provinces fur pro-
duction was, to a large extent, from
ranches. Fur farming has become a
definite industry in Canada. From a
small beginning of few silver fox
farms in Prince Edward island the
industry has spread and today fur
farms are in every province.
