Thrilling Scene in Quo
Vadis."

|0NE Of the most amazing action
scenes ever screened, 1t is claimed,
occurs during the chariot race in First
Nationals version of "Quo Vadis."
Nero has caused Christian women
to be lashed to the chariots in the
Roman circus, and the charioteers
drive of in mad competition, their
hapless victims dragging behind to
almost inevitable death.
One woman, however, Is seen to
draw herself, by almost superhuman
strength, up the rope and into the
chariot. She hurls It's driver from the
speeding vehicle and, by mastery
driving, actually wins the race.
Thus. by the popular acclaim of
Thumbs up" she wins her life from
the tyrant emperor.
While such scenes are often faxed
for the movies, the closeup shots"
of the cameras, following the chariots.
1T is said, show the woman actually
being dragged at a terrific pace and
literally drawing herself up along the
rope.

He Believes In Fairies.

HUGH ALLAN, former Oakland,
IL Calf, high school boy, declares
that he believes In fairies. Certainly
his story does read like a fairy tale.
Two years ago he was graduated
from Fremont High School in Oak
land. He worked for the Cunard
line in San Francisco for a time, then
came to Los Angeles as secretary to
Leland Ramsdell, producer of Holly
wood Photoplay Productions. Later
he became assistant cameraman and
film cutter. Then he was offered a
bit in Richard Talmadge film.
That was last Summer. Small parts
he took in sally" and '.Declasse'
won him a fve-year contract with
First National.
In seeking leading man who is
over six feet tall, young and hand
some, Mary Pickford saw screen
tests of Allan and he was signed i'm
mediately for the leading male role
in Little Annie Rooney"
Il can't believe it is true" said
Allan as he went to work with
Americas Sweetheart"

NASSAU A SPONGE MARKET.
Thousands Sold Almost Every Day
in Bahama Capital.

From the Kansas City Times.
Nassau, capital of the Bahama
Islands, has a market where sponges
are sold. 1t is entirely a negro trade.
Not a single sponge is brought up by
diving, The men are armed with long
poles, to the end of which are affixed
sharp blades. These are worked on
much the same principle as tree
pruners, but, to reach where the
sponges grow, the poles have to be
Is feet in length. The water is SC
clear that it is easy to see where the
crop is lying and even to select and
secure each individual sponge.
A couple of thousand sponges may
be on sale on any one day and the
market is an everyday affair. A large
proportion ultimately find a use In
stables and as car cleaners. These
are the rougher sort; the remainder
are cleaned and sold as bath sponges

Pemberton Recital In the
Open.

FOR the past four years Stafford
Pemberton and his pupils have
given recitals in leading theaters of
Washington. This year an idea
which Mr.. Pemberton has long cher
ished will be materialized in the open
air performance to be given at Chevy
Chase Lake Thursday evening, June
il, at 8 o'clock. Mr.. Pemt ertor con-
tends that the atmosphere, natural
beauties and artistic setting are far
superior to any effects which could
ever be obtained in a theater.
An entirely new program has been
arranged by Mr.. Pemberton for this
occasion, which he feels far surpasses
any Of his previous efforts.
Meyer Davis has selected a special
symphonic ensemble to furnish the
music for this recital, under the di-
rection of A. Kaminsky.
Reserved seats may be secured at
the Shoreham Hotel.

Of Sports

A recapitulation OF Sundays foot
ball game between the West Sides
OF Hartford and All-New Britain,
has been the cause OF a great many
speculations on the part OF New
Britain fans as TO the causes for
New Britains poor showing or fall
Ing to realize on their attacks.
We claim that one OF the big rea-
sons why New Britain failed to score
a touchdown, was a mistake in field
Generalship. We all make mistakes
and 1t Is very easy Tor all OF us to
see them after they are made but
that doesn't lessen the fact that we
can gain experience from those
which are made.
In Sundays game, Barnikow was
not used To advantage In several
places where thrust through CEN
ter by him might have brought re-
suits. Connors was used in a posi-
tion where he was not used to play
ing. up near the center to get a
short snappy pass. This Is a diff
cult position for a man to be who
has not been playing this sort OF a
game. The results were that
Connors fumbled the ball repeatedly
until he was placed farther back in
the field and then he began to show
his real worth. One defensive play,
he was a whirlwind and in the opln-
Ion Of the fans and the management
he earned his place In New Britain's
backfield.
