entertainment
Even when the actors are trying
to put over the song theme idea,
kiss Me Again" Bakaleinikoff and
his orchestra are putting over the
idea in melody form. Bakaleinikoff
again is using the right formula and
much of the pleasing effect obtained
at the Circle this week is due to this
mans efforts to successfully blend
melody and movie acting.
In considering the hard job that
Miss Griffith had in bringing the
character of Mile. Modiste to the
screen, I contend that she did fairly
we'll and as good probably as anyone
else could have done on the screen
today.
The movie directors are falling for
dress parades and the director in
this case fell a little too heavily.
This scene is saved by the smart
and effective comedy work Of Will

Louis is a life saver to this photo

left for Miss Dana TO show that her
ability is there all right and needs
but the proper vehicles to bring It
TO the front.
The story Is Of young country
girl who has fallen in love with a
crook and whose dreams Of romance
were spoiled by the untimely arrival
of the police as the two were being
married. She goes to the city and,
as has been pictured so much. she
finds but one way of keeping herself
alive. 1t is not a pretty situation
and It has been used time and time
again. but It does provide some very
fine dramatic moments for Viola
Dana, and that IS what counts.
Some good comedy is injected into
the story by the unique way in
which the priest obtains the money
for his poor fund. The most of his
parish Is Of the underworld and are
not sticklers when it comes to

is low the old priest give5 a bazaar

THE EXTRA TWO FEET

So there's no land between Alaska and the north
pole
That's what Amundsen. Ellsworth and Mobile
said when they reached Nome Sunday.
Somehow can't help feeling disappointed
That blind spot the last blank space left on
our maps and who has not turned his imagination
loose wondering what might be there.
The epochal flight of the Norge, up one side CT
the earth and down the other, the top OF the
world and across that last vast unknown area Of
Arctic wastes dashed the dream forever.
We're not worried much because the explorers
found no land We've enough land as It is
We're sad because the worlds ultimate geographical
secret has been laid bare and Ethel Barrymore
says, there isn't any more.
We've consulted our Atlas and our Gazetteer from
cover to cover and the only sought for spot now left
on earth which mankind has failed to reach is the
-op Of Mount Everest
Mount Everest is 29OO2 feet high. Henceforth
the most thrilling job explorer can tackle is to
reach this final spot of relative inaccessibity and
solve the riddle, why the extra two feet.
Which shows to what small things, Messrs Byrd
Amundsen, ct al. have left Imagination to feed
on when it comes to this globe which we live.

If the recipes are not tried out from
