URN MANUFACTURE.
 AN EXACTING TASK
Coffee Percolators Go Through Many Factory Processes :

When . business man sits down to eat his morning meal and draws a cup Of coffee from . percolator or urn he 1ittle realizes the amount of time and labor that was, spent in making the particular percolator or urnsthat stands 50 inqonspicuous on the table.
 The manufacture of percolators and urns is a long and painstaking operation. The life of a percolator starts in g. press room. Long. heavy strips of copper are hammered into shape by huge drop presses that stand about 20 feet high. The drops on these machines travel at an enor- nous rate of speed and form the shape of the percolator. After leav- ing the press room the vessels are baked in huge ovens maintained at ar extremely hot temperature. This baking hardens the copper and makes it durable and strong. Nickel silver is used for silver urns.
 Following the baking the bodies are. taken to the spinning room where they are spun into the de- sired shapes and sizes. They are inspected after spinning before be- ing sent to the buffing room. Here the bodies undergo a long operation of polishing to erase any marks or dents that the bodies may contain. They are then buffed by machines. The bodies are put on wheels that revolve against cloth wheels and al- flowed to remain there until they have been given a high finish color. Any marks the polishers may have missed are removed in the buffing process.
 The covers. necks and bases of | the vessels undergo the same oper- ation as the bodies After being buffed the different parts are in- spected and sent to the solder de- partment. Here the vessel is as- sembled and soldered together by means of lead. The soldering pro- cess is slow and requires expert workmanship. Care must taken to see that the covers and bases are put on straight before the vesesl is sol dered together. Following the solder ing operation, the vessels are taken back to another buffing room. Here sand buffers smooth out tho vessel and buff out all marks on the out side and inside surfaces. A sub stance,. consisting of pumice stone and lard oil, Is used in the sand buf- fng process. This is also a pains-

THE LAST COMMAND.
 AT THE CAPITOL
Emil Jannin6s Stars in Russian
 Film

If Emil Jannings continues mak- ing such great pictures. critics throughout the world will find it hard to procure adjectives to ade- quately describe them.
 Jannings has scored again. this time in 8 remarkable characteriza- ton IS military general. His new est Paramount picture has beer titled "The Last Command" and it opens an engagement at the Capi- tol theater Sunday for four days.
 This American-born German ac- tor presents in this new production so commendable figure that 1t cannot be compared to those of The Way of All Flesh" and Variety"
 Added to this remarkable char acterization is an able director. Josef von sternberg. who directed Underworld" and a supporting cast that might be chased as "all- star." the list of players including William Powell, Evelyn Brent and Michael VlSaroH.
 The Last Command is a story Of the red revolt in Russia, show ing Jannings as a mighty general. strictly military but beloved by his men. He befriends girl but i'm prisons her companion. the girl in turn saving him from death at the hands of the blood- mad revolution ists. He then comes to America in search of this fair savior. and there the thread of the story takes a strange twist.
 It is . gripping story. one with poignant love and drama, mystery. and thrills, so far different from "rhe Way of All Flesh'' and Variety" that it is hard to believe the same star played in them all.
 Great settings mark "The Last Command" as an elaborate produc- ton. and the fine acting of every one. particularly that of Jannings. marks it as one of the mightiest pictures ever made.
 There will be two complete shows on Sunday night at 6:30 and S:15. and on Monday. Tuesday and We'd nesday the performances will be continuous. Other films on the pro- cram will include the Capitol News. Aesops' Fables. comedies and Bill Jeff's orsanlogue. Let Us Broad asst" Beginning Thursday two rreat photoplays will be offered.
