Screen and Stage
Strand, Smyrna

Thursday Siberia" is a strictly
motion picture version of
BARLEY Campbell's famous stage play.
1t is packed with thrills, scenic beauty
and action. Siberia" depicts the
reign of Gar Nicholas when free
speech meant the firing squad or the
bleak, desolate salt mines of Siberia
The screen version is faithful in its
depletion of the dreary wastelands
which the stage was unable to repro
duce. Alma Rubens, Edmund Lowe,
Lou Tellegen and others are featured
in an all-star cast. The production
was directed by Victor Schertzinger.
Saturday-Fred Thomas, and his
famous horse Silver King, in a West
ern Drama chock full of pep and
thrills. Christie comedy" "Wireless
Lizzie" Fables.
Monday and Tuesday-Matt Moore
and Dorothy Devore in "How Baxter
Butted In" a comedy of errors, scin-
tillating and poppy.

New Dover Opera House. Dover

Tuesday and Wednesday, Temper
ament is out of date! There are very
few temperamental actors and ac-
tresses left, for a very good reason.
''The actor or actress who is tempera-
mental here in America is a braver
man than am" says Charles Ray,
who has the leading male role in Ho-
bart Henley's production of '"The Auc-
ton Block" Temperament is old
fashioned and the reason for this is
that it has been kidded too much.
America has a sense of humor. There
is no country in the world with such
a profound sense of the ridiculous.
And when you stop to think Of it,
temperament is very funny and should
be kdded. In Europe the actress who
flies into a rage because her maid has
plucked one more hair out of her left
eyebrow than out of her right is tax
en- seriously. In America she is
laughed at. 1t is a human failing
that we cannot be laughed at. =.

Curse Trademark Fakers

In the latter part of October each
year the English city of Sheffield ceie-
brates its Cutters feast. civic func-
tion that has been held annually since
164S, when the first of the city's mas
ter cutters was elected. The banquet
is attended by captains of industry
from all over the empire, and by at
least one minister Of the crown. Two
toasts that are always drunk with en-
thusiasm are: Eternal destruction to
all false marks on Sheffield goods" and
success to the Hallamshire Whittells." !"
This quaint wording is explained by
the fact that the park Of Yorkshire
where Shef1eld is situated was once
known as Hallamshire, while whit
tell" is an old name for a knife.
There is no public Office more highly
esteemed than this. AS head of the
ancient Cutters guild the master takes
precedence next to the lord mayor of
Sheffield.

Had Benefit of Climate

The homes of the ancient Romans
were imperfshable because they were
erected In a climate wherein there was
practically no freezing and thawing.
The same mortars used In our climate
have not been at all successful. Fur
thermore, the same stones used by the
Romans give a comparatively short
life In our country. The mortar mostly
used by the Romans was mixture of
lime and sand To this was added
some natural occurring ground vol
canSc rock. This corresponds to what
is known as puzzolana, which, as in
dicased. has not been found satisfae-
tory here.

Once upon a time, to insure
ones life was considered an i'm
pious act. 1t was thought to !
express a doubt as to the power
of God to protect and take care 4
of our loved ones.
Those days are past.
Most men now consider it
their duty to insure their life
against uncertainties, believing
it one of the agencies used by
Providence to provide for
widows and orphans.
We write insurance on the 5
life of men, women and chill
dren.

call and let US explain to you !

AGRICULTURAL YEAR
BOOK FOR 1923 HERE

In last weeks American atten-
ton was called to the fact that
the Agricultural Year Book for
1918 could be secured at the post
office for the asking by anyone
interested. The books arrived
Friday but same are for 1923 in
stead of 1913. The 1923 Year
Book is a much larger and better
volume than the one from 1913
and many who received the 1913
book will also want the one for
1923. The supply will likely not
fill the. demand, but if enough are
asked for another supply will be
requested. Ask for your copy at
the post office or telephone and
one will be reserved for you.-

IS MUCH OPPOSED
TO CHURCH DOGMAS

Rev. Karl Nielsen, the Danish
Lutheran pastor of Cordova,
Nebr., of whom there has been
much written in Danish news
papers and periodicals the past
three years, and himself has
written extensively, spoke in
Askov at the assembly hall last
Friday, both afternoon and eve
ming, there being a desire on the
part of a number of local people
to hear him before he left for
Denmark.
Rev. Nielsen was introduced
by R. S. Rasmussen on both oc-
casions and after the singing of
hymns and songs he spoke for
about IS minutes each time.
His appearance was much that
of an evangelist-trying to ava
ken the spirit within the people.
He does not regard the Bible as
highly as many pastors and lay
men and is much opposed to
church dogmas. Rev. Nielsen has
very good command of the Da-
nish language, is very aggressive,
and a hard worker.
A number of friends spent the
evening with him at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. S. Chr. Dixen
until 2 o'clock when he left on
the train.
He will speak at Ringsted,
Iowa, where he formerly served
the congregation, and few
other places, and will then, to-
gether with his family drive to
New York City in automobile,
sailing from there to Denmark
where he is to be instructor in
Holger Begtrup's folk high
school.
