Dorothy Jardon, opera singer,

to associate with US as social

for Europe on Saturday to sign an
operatic contract, said she person
ally had experienced no lack of cor
diality.
She was especially exercised over
a statement in a theatrical mag

Young, superintendent Of Bailey's

saying that no actors or actresses

entino would loved to have done.
Charles Farrell is cast as the
Arab chief who marries modern
girl in Paris. He tries to remember
that there is no difference between
the east and the west, but blood will
tell and before the solution Is
reached Farrell stands in his own
blood calmly looking at his wife
while she is going to her death
after he had placed a poisoned ring
on her finger.
The sheik could not possess his
wife in life because the customs
OF his people made it impossible.
He hoped to be able to be with her
in love in the spirit world.
Greta NiSsen is cast as the Euro
pean who marries the sheik. Miss
Nissen is beautiful, and she shows
this time that she is gifted with a
fine dramatic sense.
The love scenes of Fail" are
beautiful in their power to sug-
gest romance. The first meeting
of the two lovers in Venice has been
given a beautiful scenic background
and the musical arrangement on
movietone is one of haunting beauty.
1t seems that many of the most
famous love tunes have been col
lected to give the right hearing
to the love scenes.
Most of the work Of Fail" is
done by Miss Nissen and Farrell.
I would not be one bit surprised
if Farrell wins Valentines crown
as the best player of sheik roles.
"Fazil"'is box office picture,
and it will develop powerful draw
ing power. Here is about one of
the best date night movies 1 have
seen in five years.
If you love that moonlight and
romantic love-making stuff, then
"Fazil' is just the picture. The
ending is the sad one, but it is this
ending that gives FAIL its mighty
dramatic punch. You can guess
by this time that 1 am quite Wild

best of the sheik movies.

chief male role, the officer OF the
guards. This character is worldly
one but in his cold exterior is the
soul of the fiirt who can act square
when he finds real love. That is, he
would do our Nell no dirt. He Is
gay with painted women but when
he meets our heroine this time, he
sure acts like a gentleman and
good lover.
Fay Wray is cast as Mitizi, the
little sweetheart who loved her
Prince Charming. Her ma had de-
creed that she should marry
young butcher, a most terrible I'M
couth thing who didn't know that
the word romance existed. The
work of Fay Wray reminds you this
time of Lillian Gish as she has that
nervous usefulness that only Miss
C4ish seems to know how to project.
Here is beautiful work on the part
of Miss Wray. OF course, these love
scenes are chucked full OF moon
light and overdrawn sentiment, but
they are beautiful scenes. This
story will probably make Miss Wray
q favorite for many movie fans. You

Won Stroheim can do it better than
anyone else. He is just the type.
Won Stroheim has staged one OF

BOAT FOUND IN
INDIANA FIELD
$50 YEARS old
Craft HeWed From Tree.
Discovered Near
CIarkSviIIe.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
GAINESVILLE, Ind, Nov. 12.-
An old fashioned dugout boat, bear
ing evidence of being at least $50
years old, has been found near here
by Harvey Taylor, aged fisherman.
The boat, which was made by hew-
ing the center out of large tree,
was dug from rocks and sand of
Goose island, near Whisky Chute,
by Taylor and Harry Stein, friend.
The theory was advanced by local
historians that the old time boat
lSlown as a pirogue, probably had
Eo~ne French traders, Jesuits or
frontiersmen on the Ohio river,
when Kentucky and Indiana were
wilderneSses.
The craft is eight feet long and
bears the marks of frontiersmanS
ak or an Indians tomahawk. Two
feet or more of the upper curved
bow apparently had been cut away.
Historians say the boat Is at least
a century and half old because
with the coming of settlers to Ken
lucky the f1atboat replaced the
heavy and awkward pirogue. They
believe it may date back to the sew
enteenth or eighteen century when
French traders and missionaries
came west. The traders brought
iron into the wilderness and traded
it to the Indians and taught them
how to use it. This they believe,
nigh account for the piece of iron,
resembling a chisel, being found in
the bottom of the boat.
Belief that the pirogue may have
been wrecked on the falls a few
hundred yards upstream from where
it was discovered and swept over
them to its resting place was ad-
vanced by Herman Rave, Clark
county historian.
Taylor said he had remembered
seeing the dugout forty years ago,
but thought then that it was only
a drift log.
