Long Note on the Oboe

How long can man blow "A note on
an oboe, keep it musical, in part, and
keep the note going? That question
was answered recently In London
when Captain SamerZweig held a note
on the oboe for $50 seconds, the time
being counted by race judges, four
stop watches being used In the test.
1t was regarded as feat of endurance
quite unusual, but the honor for MAX
ing the test Is valueless, no music be-
ing written that calls for such pro-
longed blowing.-OhiO State Journal.

Georgians Proud of
Record of Augusta

Augusta, one of Georgia's health re-
sort cities. founded nearly 200 years
ago by James Oglethorpe, the philan-
thropist. was named by him for the
then princess of Wales. While the
city is known in the North and East
chiefly as health resort and for its
splendid golf links. Georgians cherish
its historical associations 1t was
from Charleston. S. c., to Hamburg,
across the river from Augusta, that
the first American-built locomotive,
the BEST Friend" was operated 90
years ago. and in Augusta lived Will
liam Longstreet, who received a
steamboat patent from his state in
17S8, but was not able to operate his
invention successfully until 20 years
later, year after Fulton's CIermont
was navigating the Hudson. Augusta
and Savannah each claims it was on
a farm in its envirOns that Eli Whit
ney devised and set up the first cotton
gin. Fifteen miles from Augusta is
Silver Bluff. where fernando de Soto
camped in 1910, and Spanish chrOn-
fclers relate that it was with difficulty
he induced his followers TO leave the
"pleasanteSt place" on American
shores.-Ralph A. Graves, in the Ma
tional Geographic Magazine.

Friday and Saturday-Are stenog-

callings Malcolm McGregor, hand
some young romantic actor, who has
the romantic masculine lead in John
M. Stahl's production, "The Gay De
ceiver," says that a study Of his fan
mail leads him to this conclusion.
Fully fifty per cent of his fan mail,
McGregor says, which averages about
500 letters a week, comes from stem
ographers. College and high school
girls come next. The letters run to
form, few words Of praise for work
in a certain picture, and then a re-
quest for an autographed photograph.
1T may not be that stenographers
have more romantic leanings than
girls in other positions" analyses Nc
Gregor, 'but they have facilities for
letter writing always at hand during
their working day and an inclination
to write can instantly be converted
into action. | answer every fan letter

dollars a year but | figure that it

in the title role, Dorothy Phillips, Car

Plaster of paris is derived from a
mineral called gypsum. Burned first
to dry off the superhuous water. this
gypsum yields fine chalky powder

statues and the like.
Gypsum Is found in many parts OF
the world but as a large part Of Paris
happens to be built over whole beds
of it, that city was the first to dlscov-
er this particular way of using it.
Hence modeis and statuettes so fash

Screen and Stage
Strand. Smyrna

Friday and Saturday-Pirates! The
Java Sea! A beautiful, exotic island
girl! A dying minister A brutal,
scheming trader! Out of these ele-
ments, FIBO has woven a drama of
the South Seas that is alike novel in
theme, powerful in situation, gripping
in action, delightful in romantic and
abounding in humor. The picture,
Breed of the Sea-" is unquestionably
one of the finest pieces of screen en-
tertainment seen here in many months
"a film that will thrill every member
of an audience. Dominated by the
compelling influences of Ralph Ince,
who in addition to directing the pro-
duction, plays the dual role of the
twin brother, one a missionary and
the other a pirate, the picture is a
marvel of Characterization. Margaret
Livingston plays the leading feminine
role, that of the exotic island girl, to
perfection.
Monday and Tuesday-Two tons of
of lumber. Five hundred rifles. One
thousand costumes. More than a
thousand extra people, including In
dians from more than dozen tribes.
Seven hundred horses. A complete
field kitchen and a corps of walters.
A special train and ten thousand dol
lars worth of provisions for people
and feed for animals. These were a
few of the items required during the
filming of "The Flaming Forest"
This picture, directed by Reginald
Barker, with cast of more than
twenty notable screen players, is one
of the most lavish productions Of the
year and was adapted to the screen
by Warner Young from the famous
James Oliver Curwood novel of the
same name depicting the wilderness
of the Northwest Territory at the
time of the organization Of the North
west Mounted Police.

The Girl and the War

George w. Sweeney, the noted hotel
man, said on disembarkfng from the
Leviathan in New York:
"The stories about anti-American
feeling in France are untrue. few
French newspapers have attacked
America, few French rowdies have
insulted Americans. but the bulk Of
France likes US and respects us more
than ever.
Anybody who says there Is anti
American feeling over there is as ig-
norant as the girl in a stationer's.
"a girl went into a stationer's and
said:
"'Give me pound of wax for wax
ing flowers, please
Oh said the clerk, with a smile
we are stationers, miss The only
wax we carry is sealing wax.
Bother? said the girl sharply.
That won't do at all. I want to wax
the floor, not the ceiling. I'm going
to give party"

"For one. I'll take the LIS"
Huh" snorted Peggy, 4 know why

"Well, why?'
Cause you want the big crackers,
You want to get all the Iphants.
