augural visits Of various heads of
departments, Reichstag. state and

president Of the Reichsbank. Alto
gether seven Populations visited the

pithy speech of homely advice and
patriotic sentiments
The board of Reichstag presidents

sity of conserving the national digni-
ty through we'll behaved parliament
tary proceedings.
The new presidents inaugural ut
terances continue to be the subject
of lively editorial discussions in
both friendly and opposition news
papers. The press concurs in ad-
hitting that the excellent first i'm
preston created by Won linden
burgs speeches is only strengthened
by a second persual.
The new president will receive
the greetings of the diplomatic corps

ton of Japan none of the major
powers has so far transmitted for
NAL greetings to him. 1t is assumed,
however, that these greetings will be
communicated to Won Hindenburg

ic missions here.
The premiers of the states of the
German federation will call on the
new president Friday, concluding
the official receptions.

Taking Mail Course
To Make Accurate
Forecast Worlds End

Baldwin, n. Y, May 13.-Living
with his wife and children in a four
room bungalow and earning good
pay as painter and paper hanger,
Robert Reidt, Apostle Of DOOM"
formerly of East Patchogue, N. Y.
who confidently awaited the end of
the world at midnight, February e,
disclosed today that he is taking a
correspondence course in astronomy
to avoid a second miscalculation.
Despite the fact that his belief in
the accuracy of the predictions of
the worlds epd by Mrs. Margaret
w. Rowen last February led him to
dispose of his worldly goods and
necessitating his making another
start when the heralded second COM
ing of Christ failed to materialize.
Reidt reaffirmed his belief in Mrs.
Rowen's teachings.
The reason they all made a mis-
take about the time the end of the
world was to occur, he said, was be-
cause none of them knew enough
about astronomy to read the
Heavens correctly. BY brushing up
on that science Reidt is confident he
can accurately forecast the second
coming of Christ.

The massing of the leading char
acters in tw ofamous pictures of last
year in the big production of the
Universal new season is in line with
the policy of Carl Laemmle for big
threecasts--in fact, literally all star
casts--for super productions. All
three of the leads rate among the big
stars of the screen, and never before
have the three all played in single
picture.
The new picture, massive spec
tacle, is adapted from the famous
mystery novel by CASTOR Leroux. 1t
is laid in and about the famous Paris
opera, and deals with the sinister
Vaccinations of "The Phantom" a
mysterious creature with a warped
soul who had his refuge in the cellars,
five stories deep, under the famous
old building, where he worked sinis-
ter. influence on the gay throngs
above.
The entire interior of the opera,
its great stage, on which an entire
opera is presented coincidently with
the mysterious and weird events in
the catacombs below, were staged on
lavish scale. rivaling the "Hunch-
back" production in magnitude.
The livid splendor of the grand
stairway and its promenade, with its
thousand-hued throngs of opera goe-
ers, mainly composed of the wealthy
and noble, has been reproduced for
the screen in actual color.
The great costume feat which
marks the height of the Paris opera
season is perhaps the most gorgeous
and riotously beautiful scene ever
taken for motion picture spectacle.
The dash and CLINT Of these gay
scenes forms violent contrast to the
action that takes place in the dark
depths of the coistered caverns five
stories under ground.
