HANK OF ENGLAND
 BOOSTS ITS RATE
While Bank Of France Drops
 Hers Down \

London, Dec. 8 P,--The Bank of England today raised its official minimum discount rate to flpo per cent an increase of one per cent
 The increase in the official mini. mum was found necessary in order 10 check the outflow Of gold. which has amounted to 1a,000, 1000 pounds (s92,l50,o0O since the bank rate was reduced in October and over l0,0o0,0O0 pounds (s4s,50O,oo0) on balance since the country returned 10 the gold standard
 lt Is understood there were pros poets of further withdrawals Of gold, and as the New York EX- change is lowering near the gold point a protective measure was thought necessary lf the banks posi-. ton Of reserve 10 liabilities vas not 10 be further lowered.
 The money markets resources are plentiful, owing 10 dividend dis hursements, but the recent outflow of gold forced discounts 10 the bank rate level and banished hope that, while the New York discount rate remained unchanged, there would be no alteration here.
 Speculation on the London stock exchange recently has been grow ing, especially in rubber shares, and the authorities by raising the official minimum hope to check this specu- lation and also to retain foreign moneys which might be attached to New York by higher interest rates.
 At the same time trade. which had just begun to brighten, will be hampered, but the market believes that the necessity for retention Of the higher rate will disappear early in the new year.
 The effect of the increase was partly discounted yesterday on the stock exchange, where gilt edge se- curitles were dull pending today's decision, but q great deal of work will be entailed in the various banks, altering interest and deposit rates, while discounts will undergo a similar eadiustment.

white mans fever to which he
had succumbed in Africa-the

He turned back q few pages OF

nothing beyond the neatly printed

There were fourteen of them
fourteen days OF fever and
agony and slow poisoning! He
turned back other pages and read
the untold story Of his past. How
many people. he wondered, could
imagine that he once played the
unfortunate hero in one of LIES
little plays and that his reward
was more ignoble than for any
of his villainous roles on the
stage.
Slowly he began to fill in the
unwritten chapters in his diary,
things that happened when he
was in a state Of coma, things
which had preceded him to New
York and had caused him to lose
his job with a mining company
and to turn to acting for a live

But 1t was the pet ambition Of
Barthelmess to play In another
picture with Miss Hay.
When New Toys" was pre-
scented on Broadway last season,
Barthelmess purchased 1t pri-
marily as a vehicle for his wife.
And upon its purchase. Miss Hay
spent months planning her reap
pearance on the screen.
During the filming Of "Class-

mess picture, she went on loca-
ton in Florida with her husband
and the company. After work
ing hours, she made the camera
tests under the direction of John
Robertson, who also produced

Instead Of enjoying a summer
vacation. Miss Hay spent her
time getting complete course
in screen acting. IN trying out
makeup and costumes, Barthel-
mess gave her the benefit of his
long experience before the cam
era and taught her the various
tricks of the trade that are only
acquired through years of work

This record-breaking musical
comedy hit by James H. Mont
gomery, Harry Tierney and Joseph
Mccarthy, really the first of it's
kind to soar to the heights Of
smashing success, has just been
purchased by First National as
starring vehicle for Colleen Moore.
Irene" was purchased at great
xpense because of the fine re-
"eption accorded Sally" by the
New York public and press.
Sally" has been acclaimed as the
greatest achievement that Colleen
Moore has yet offered the screen
and this is saying a great deal
when one stops to recall that she
made such Observation-Disclosures as

Flapper" and 80 Big"

that versatility

followers Irene" made ii.s

Edith Day as the star. Adele
Rowland was another who enjoyed

When brought to the screen
Irene will include among Is
many colorful scenes a gorgeous

and more elaborate scale than

These few words come from
Jack Reid, uplifter OF the bur-
lesque stage, and proud of his
job.
THE only trouble with bur-
lesque is its past" he claims.
THE comedians of old were
ell cast in the same mold, and
an Irishman wore green whis-
kers, a German comedian was
made up after the Weber style,
and other nationalities bore stere-
otyped hall-marks.
1t isn't that Reid would rob
burlesque of its comedians, for
he is a comedian himself.
"Burlesque entertainment has
undergone a big change in the
last few years; our music is
catchy. of course; the chorus

determination had Frank Fay's
career pretty well mapped out
for him before he put in his
appearance. The Fays have been

erations.
Frank Fay, the present edition,
who Is the special attraction at

exception. His proud parents
launched him upon the footlight
way at the age Of four, at which
time he lisped his way into the
heart Of San Francisco. Now, at
twenty-eight. after having ap-
peared with almost invariable
success in every end Of the the
atrical profession and having es-
tablished himself in the dramatic
world as an actor, author and
producer, he Is touring the Keith

which is said to be a riot.
