'RONOLA' COMING

Lillian GiSh'S Latest Picture a

So many motion pictures are made each year that in the griSt of a years film entertainment a pro- iuction has 10 be supcrlativcly good for it to stand out in bold relief. Such a production is "Romola", LiI- Ian GiShs latest picture, which opens up at the New Palace tomor- TOW night for q thrce-day run. "Romola' a film version Of George lslliot's immortal novel, is in fact q milestone of film progress. IL sur passes anything heretofore seen in point of beauty.
 Never before have We seen such gorgeous settings, such use of shadows, such completeness of feel ing for old-world grandeur such dc taia in the working out of art ob iccts. The inspiration of course was present in that th" story was laid in the Florence of The Renaissance, but nevertheless. all praise and credit are due to the director and cast for transferring this period so marvel ously to the screen.

YOLGA BOATNAN ID SHOW ATLYCEUM
Harold Lloyd Will Be Seen on
 Same PhOtoplay Bill

The Eolga Boatman, the master piece of Cecil DeMille, a master producer and triumph that adds lustre to the annals of the American screen, opens a four days showing at the Lyceum theater tomorrow night. This picture is a gripping story of a great overwhelming love, an uprising, Of grave perils and of strangely tangled lives of fair haired Volga boatman, a beautiful princess and q prince. IL is a fast moving colorful, dramatic and thrilling drama of the Russian reyo- lution. The companion feature is Harold Lloyd in Among Those Present. ill which little coat room boy at hotel is induced to imper- sonate an English nobleman at an exclusive social function.
 In "The Volga Boatman," William Boyd has the title role, appearing first as a Eolga boatman in which guise he first sees the princess, played by Elinor Fair, as she stands with her royal blooded tiance, Prince Dtmitri, a captain in the White Army, watching the weary boatman trudge by. Here occurs the first dramatic incident, The Volga Boat man accidentally splashes mud on the officers shoes and is ordered to brush that off" The Volga Boat man does so, but defiantly and fol- lows with the threat that the day will come when the tables will turn. The interest of the princess is awakened and more so when her his riding crop. Then comes the Russian revolution. The peasant hordos led by the erstwhile boat man, ransack tthe homes of nobility and palaces of the princess, She is doomed to die, but the boatman, against his better judgment, falls in love with her and dramatically spares her life at the expense of his own reputation among his followers. Then comes the advance of tho White Army and the early defeat of the Reds. The rebel leader is cap Nuitu anu 10 SdNtu HUH tAtIullOll by q series of dramatic incidents. Then the tide turns and the Red Army again is victorious. Brought before the supreme tribunal with the girl he now loves and her White Army fiance, the Folga Boat man makes an impassioned plea for her release because he loves her. and for the release of the prince be- cause the latter loves the girl. The action of the Red tribunal and the conclusion of the drama is dramatic ally worked ont.
 One scene stands out especially startling. The White Army in cap turing the Volga Boatman find girl with him and the prince. not know ing her identity, turns her over 10 his men. Their brutal, fiendish ex- pressions of lewd delight as they drag her before them. insult her and strip her clothes from her, stands 'oUt as q superb bit of acting, made dramatically intense when the prince arrives 70 discover that it is his own nancee he has turned over to his men.

STAGE AND SCREEN

Two reviyals Of plays and one new
 revue constituted the opening in
 Broadway theater this week.
 "The Great Temptations" pre-
 scented by the Shuberts at the Win
 ter Garden, was conceded to be the
 most lavish revue ever staged here,
 it's only weak point being the lines
 used by comedians in sketches
 which filled the times between
 scenes.
 The order Of the show seemed 10
 be "thousands for scenery, but not
 one cent for costumes, for with the
 exception Of beads and draperies,
 none of the dancers or models need .

 The best of the revivals was that

 persons. went into the Forty Eighth

 kindly reception.

 This means that the pictures made by the De Mile, Metropolitan and Christie studios. which are released by the Producers Distributing cor poration, will provide the principal screen entertainment for the 1,400 theaters of the Keith-Albee and af- fliated circuits. Ii also means that De Mills and his associates now have notion picture representation sec ond' to none in the United States and Canada.
 "The Big Parade" has already achieved the longest picture run on broadway since the finale Of "Th6 Ten Commandments" 1 months ago. The Astor theater hit Is going as strongly as ever.

soda used in the process. New meth
DDS have been devised for producing
ground wood pulp, with reduction
of Is per cent in the manufacturing
waste.
In the wrapping-paper field meth
DDS for utilizing the Southern yellow
pines. hitherto regarded as unsuitable
for the commercial production of
paper pulp, has been developed. What
this means in the way of increased
production is Indicated by the fact
that one of the largest lumber com
panies in the South has turned it's
woods and mill waste into paper pulp
at the rate of some so tons a day.
Progress has been made also in work
ing out methods of using Southern
pines, such as shortleaf, in mixture
with hardwoods, such as red gum, for
the production of book paper.
All of this work, say Forest Service
officials, has tended in the direction of
forest conservation by opening up
new sources of supply, introducing
more efficient methods of manufac-
ture. and developing market for
material previously wasted. Studies
have been made looking toward
further saving of material, with an
estimated value of $16,000.000. now
lost through the decay of pulp wood
and wood pulp while in storage.
Another means Of decreasing the
drain upon the forests for wood pulp
is said to be the utilization of hull
fiber and second-cut cotton linters for
paper pulp. 1t has been demonstrated
that these productions, which were

of more than so per cent. The In
creased life Is attributed mainly to re-
sumption of glue surface sizing by
the Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing and the fiber modification men
toned. 1t is expected that the 100
per cent increase in strength of the
new type of paper now in use, to.
gether with the improved surface siz
ing, should result in further material
increase in the life of the bills.
The Forest Products. Service of the
Department of Agriculture has been
experimenting a number Of years
with the problem of using wood sub
stitutes in manufacturing paper for
all purposes. 1t is estimated that 80
per cent OF the paper in use is manu-
featured from wood, the supply of
which is steadily decreasing. The
paper industry employs 10000 per
sons. has an annual output valued
at $S50,000, 600, and consumes each
year some 100000 cords of wood.
Tests on the suitability of some so
species of American woods for the
production of chemical pulp. and of
some % species for mechanical pulp
have shown to what other woods we
can turn as the supply of those now
in use gradually become exhausted.
In fact, the practicability of substitu-
ton has already been demonstrated
by actually printing newspapers on
stock made of some of the more prom

vised, resulting In Q reduction of 80

some 200.0 900 tons a year are available.
can be made into high-grade paper.
Several large plants for the utilization
of this material have been established,
with q potential daily production of
300 tons, having a sale value Of $751;
600, 900.
There is word of cheer for motor
lists also in the Forest Service chemi-
cal experiments. II Is the utilization
of wood waste for motor fuels by
converting sawdust and other forms
of mill waste into ethyl, or grain,
alcohol. From 20 to 25 gallons of 50
per cent alcohol can be obtained from
a ton of dry coniferous wood, such
as Douglas fir or Southern yellow
pine. This is more than can be OBJ
tanned from a ton of sugar-cane con-
tanning rs per cent juice, of which II
per cent is fermentable.
No great stretch of the imagination
is required say Forest Service ofh-
Gals, to look forward to the day when
ethyl alcohol derived from wood will
be one of our important motor fuels.
Already, as the supply of gasoline is
becoming more restricted. alcohol,
which is a more efficient fuel, Is be-
ginning to be used in small proper
tions as substitute. Present sources
of supply, of which cane and beet
molasses are the most important, are
utterly inadequate to meet thei
enormous prospective demand without
turning to grains, potatoes, or other
tarch-containing materials commonly
used as food.
