ELTJNGE THEATRE

Barbara La Mari and Conwa
Tcarle arc featured in "Thc Heart of
a Siren" which will he shown at the
Eltinge Theatre Wednesday and
Thursday. It's story is Of stage
siren whose ailurcmcnts capitvate all
Europe. The merry pace she leads
her army Of worshippers throughout
the gay capitals Of the continent af
fords the picture some settings
which, for rich picturcsqueness, rival
anything We have seen.
Then comes Conway Tearle in the
role of poor but aristocratic London
diplomat, and the siren, for the first
time. tastes humiliation. He ignores
her. Now, what would any siren do
in such case? She sets forth at
once to crush the heart Of this pig
of an arjstocrat" and succeeds. But
she loses her own heart to him in so
doing.
Thus, the maddening whirl Of
gaiety suddenly swervcs into highly
emotional drama, and the plot works
into a thrilling climax.
II proves a splendid vehicle for
the display of exceptional histrionic
ability by Miss La Mari and Tearlc,
as we'll as the remainder of the big
east. This includes Harry Morey, Ben
Finney, Clifton Webb, Ida Darling,
William Ricciardi and others.

WILD BEASTS OF GREENLAND
COME SOUTH FOR SUMNER

Oslo, Norway, June 23-HO-Ten
muck oxen, brought from Greenland
recently on sailing vessel are
spending the summer on kjiholmen
Island, off the west coast of Norway.
IL is hoped they will become used to
the climate Of northern Europe. The
flesh Of these animals makes excel
lent eating, as arctic explorers can
testify, and there is always de-
mand for them in geological gardens.
The animals wander ut will about
the island, finding an abundance of
food in the grasses and rough herb
age. They still resent the approach
Of human beings, however, and when
danger or disturbance is sensed the
bulls form a protective ring about the
cows and snort violently.
The most anxious time for those
Interested in the experiment will be
during the summer. The natural
habitat Of the musk OK is among the
bleak regions of arctic AGicrica, and
it is possible that they will not sur
vive more southern summer There
is also danger that they will bring
about their own deaths through eat
ing too greedily of the richer grass
of Kjiholmen.

COST OF EXECUTING
ESklNOS WAS $4,000.
AUTHORITIES, SAY

Edmonton, Alta, June 23.-tP)--
Authorities here have placed $4,000
as the cost of the trial and execution
of two Copper Eskimos, Alikomiak
and Tatamigana, on Hcrschcll Island
year ago knud Rasmussen. arctic
explorer, differs from this estimate
and puts the cost between $50, 900 and
$4,000.
Commenting OIL the Copper Eski-
mos, Rasmussen expressed the opin-
ion that before law enforcement is
undertaken efforts should be made to
educate them to an understanding of
the law of civilization. He pointed
out that the Copper Eskimos were
in a state Of primitive savagery. Dur
ing hard times killing Of female chill
dren Is customary, and the Staying
Of Il husband to obtain his wife is not
regarded as a serious wrong.
