crew and complete production.
The scene starts in America, where
Jim, the hero, enlists for the front
in 1917-191S. He and his buddies go
to France, where they are billeted
in the haymow of farmhouse. Jim
falls in love with Melisande, the
farm girl, and his affection is re-
ciprocated.
At the departure for the front they
pledge their vows, and in default of
any other souvenir, Jim throws her
one of his shoes, which she presses
to her bosom.
With his buddies, Bull and Slim,
Jim goes through Belleau wood, the
campaign Of the Argonne and many
experiences in the trenches and she'll
holes, finally crawling out into No
Mans Land and finding one of his
buddies slain.
He then def1es the whole German
army and attacks, single-handed, a
lures, but is subsequently wounded
and sent to "BIighty."
On learning that the village of
Champion, where he was billeted
, has been the scene Of warfare, he
manages to escape from the hos
pital, but finds Melisande and her
kinsfolk gone.
So naturally he returns to-Amer-
lea. He is now crippled, having lost
his leg in the war. There is a ray
of sunshine for his sorrowing
mother, who sees his loss and also
knows that his American sweetheart
has gone back on him, when Jim
says: Mother, there Is a girl in
France"
Somewhat later Jim returns over
the hill back of Champion and
finds the girl and her mother as
plow-women In the field.
Long before he sees her, she sees
him, and goes to him.
John Gilbert Is the star with
Renee Adoree as the featured player
and, Karl Dane and Tom O'Brien as
GiHbert's buddies.
Others in the cast are Hobart Bos-
worth, Claire Mcdowell, Claire

ABLE IRISH
ROSE TO OPEN
At THE lMURAT
Comedy Run Leader Booked
for a Weeks Return
Engagement.

"Abie's Irish Rose" which opens
at the Murat Theater on Monday
night. Nov. 8, was originally pro-
duced in California.
It's first year was divided be-
tween Los Angeles and San Fran
cisco. 1t was then brought to New
York, where it is now in its fifth
year at the Republic Theater.
1t has also played long engage
ments at Chicago, Detroit, Pitts
burgh, Cleveland, BuffaloS st. Louis,
Baltimore, Washington, Toronto,
Montreal, Cincinnati, Columbus, In
dianapolis and Kansas City.
What is the reason for all this
popularity? A simple story of every
day life and characters-involved in
ludicrous situations-with dialogue
of scintillatnig wit and humor, clean
and wholesome, written by one with
a genuine sense of comedy values,
and keen student of human nature
In short, a few vivid pages from
life as millions know and live it. 1t
has a rather broad lesson on toler-
ance to teach by concrete example,
and there are touches Of gentle
pathos as the tale progresses.
Where love is concerned, the mod
ern generation cares not a whit
whether the beloved one be Jew,
Protestant or Catholic, though these
differences in thought mean so much
to their elders.
Able Levy, having met and loved
Rosemary Murphy while both were
serving lover there" in France, mar
ries Rosie later In Jersey City, with
the aid of a Methodist minister.
Then comes the fear Of conse-
quences when their respective Jew
ish and Irish fathers are apprised
Of the action. There are subterfuges
and deception employed, such as
Able introducing his bride as Rosie
Murphiski. his sweetheart, to his IA
Their. His choice is heartily approved
| and an immediate marriage by g
Rabbi is furthered by Levy, Sr.
During the second marriage of the
young couple, Rosie's father, Patrick
Murphy, arrives from California
and discovering how matters stand
in a furious rage threatens to have
the marriage annuled, on the
ground that they had not been mar
ried by a priest
During Murphy's temporary alb
sence from the home, the Rabb
suggests to the priest, Father VIVA
len, who accompanied Mr.. Murphy
from California, that he arrange fol
marriage of the couple according
to the Catholic ritual, which is &C
complished just as Murphy returns

The Great Nicola, soon to appear
at the &. f. Keith theater, while an
amazing magician on the stage, is
just an ordinary sort Of chap away
from the footlights.
There is nothing about him that is
supernatural or suggestive of the
wizard. Slim and rather understood
he is sharp, and has an inexhaustible
sore of amusing and interesting re-
miniscences.
Nicolas father was a Scotsman,
born in Glasgow. He, too, was
wizard and It is to him Nicola owes
his profession and much Of the sue
cess he has achieved. Nicolas was
reared in Monmouth, III.
My father was in the business
twenty-five years" Nicola said, land
1 was brought right up in the bust
ness by him. He died years ago but
the last ten years OF his life were
devoted to teaching me this strange
craft. He said I am getting too old
for this business and I want to teach
you. Do as I tell you and I will
make you one of the finest magicians
in the world Well, I did as he told
me and fatter myself that IL my
father were alive today could as
tonish even him. When I was a lit
tie fellow, not more than twelve
years of age, my father used to do
an aerial suspension trick. I was
used for that and when anybody had
to disappear I was the one.
MY father could not tell me the
SECRETS of the tricks at that age, al
though I was dying to learn them, /"
he continued "He was afraid I
would tell my ehums of the street.
But after t-rew older he gradually
unfolded his bag of tricks to me. My

COOLIDGE AND KING
MAY GOSSIP BY AIR
Atlantic Radiophone Opening
to Feature Talk by Heads
of Two Nations.
RH the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON. December 4-President
Coolidge and King George may say
hello to each other from the White
House and buckingham Palace within
the next three months if plans mate
rialize for the opening of transatlantic
radiophone service early in 1927.
What the two heads of state may
talk about after their exchange of
formal inaugural messages forms a
topic Of interesting speculation here.
They may discuss the weather or even
politics. but what they say the public
may never know. as there will be only
a few skilled mechanics listening in,
and they will probably be requested
not to tell.
$40 to SIS a Minute.
Charges for transatlantic phone calls
at the beginning will range from SO
to SIS a minute. it is figured. though
the President an the King may talk
as long as they like, ''atmospherics
permitting" as the experts put it.
Tests of the radiophone have
reached the stage where the British
and American experimenters who
have been working for more than
year now converse over the ocean
every Saturday and Sunday and often
oIl Ntch liISUlS III lIlc WCC iiOui .
when amateur wireless fans are not
chattering to one another.
Col. Frank Baldwin Jewett. vice
president of the American Telephone
and Telegraph Co.. who is now
homeward bound. is satisfied with the
workings on this end but he declines
10 say much about the plans. Neither
are the British boaSting, but the post
office engineers cooperating with the
American company aver it is prob
able the service will be opened in
January or February.
Use of Wires.
In the event the diplomats and 9th
ers realize their plans to arrange a
chat between the President and the
King, il would not make a particle of
difference whether Mr.. Coolidge was
in Washington or San Francisco. or
King George in London or Lands End,
as wires could easily be extended to
carry their voices to the powerful
radiophone stations at each end and
thence across the water.

scientific contribution Of the Depart

The Insect Pest Survey, in charge
of J. A. Hyslop, was instituted IN
1921 by the Bureau of Entomology TO
collect and publish accurate and de-
tailed data on the occurrence, distri-

The survey meets a long-felt need
of American entOmOlogiStS, to throw
light on the reasons of the cyclic and
snoradic appearance of insect pests,
the gradual shift of regions OF de-
structive abundance. the barriers TO
normal dispersal and the directive IN
fiuences that determine the paths OF
insect diffusion. Through its bulle-
tin, published monthly from March to
November, the survey acts as a re-
pository for the miscellaneous field OBJ
servations which formerly We're avail
able only to limited number or per-
sons.
Mr.. Hyslop's agency utilizes in the
most efficient manner pOSSlble the EN-
tomological agencies now existing III

agricultural experiment stations, State
agricultural colleges, State unlver
sites, and chronological commissions,
as well as the entomOlog1St at the
field stations of the several offices OF
the Bureau Of Entomology. in collect
ing scientific insect data.
Cooperative Unit Formed.
The chronological agencies in the
United States, Canada and the west
Indies have been organized into

lection, study and dissemination or
