Dorothy GiSh Returns,
Fools Film WiSeaCreS
BY GILBERT SWAN
NEA Service Writer

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-Dorothy
IN Gish has turned out to be
Broadway's little surprise.
Up to this particular moment,
most everyone has associated her
with that silence which is no longer
golden in the films. No one seemed
to have wondered much concerning
her capabilities as a stage performer
Any movie fan worthy of the title
knows all about the ups and downs
Of Dorothy in the films. Suddenly
and with more farewells than
seemed necessary, she slid out OF
the picture-or pictures. And there
with, it seemed that the screen had
lost a most pleasant little COM
edienne and hoyden who had suf-
fered more than she deserved from
stupid Hollywood miScaSting. OF
course her mistake may have been
in being another Gish.
Broadway, then was bit sur :
prised to read that she would come
to town in play, young Love"
The morning after, the wise-boys
were remarking on the splendid
quality of her voice and the ex-
cellence of her performance.
With her movie background and
her present stage reputation, it will
not be surprising to find her signed
at fabulous sums for the new talk
ing pictures-perhaps as one of the
outstanding stars of that new pic
ture vogue.

ETNA ERUPTION
IN FINAL PHASE,
SAYS SCIENTIST
Volcano PuffS Smoke Near
Exhaustion From Lava
y UpheavaI.
By United Press

By United Press
CATANIA, Sicily, Nov. ia
thick cloud of dense. black smoke,
pouring from Mt. Etna's craters
today had it's silver lining as posi-
BILE harbinger of decreasing activity
in the volcanoes destructive eruption.
Flying in military plane along
the course of the lava flows on
EtnaIS slope, Professor Gaetano
Ponte of the Etna observatory, said
that the emission of heavy black
smoke from the various craters was
increasing in volume. This, he said,
usually indicated a general abate-
ment in activity.
Volcanoes, Professor Ponte pointed
out, obey not set rules, but he told
authorities that his observations had
impressed him that the eruption was
entering a final phase that was a
forerunner of its cessation within a
few days.
Lava Flow SIackens
The wide streams of lava, cooling
more rapidly in their descent, were
much slower in their onward rush.
Their movement had become, in
many places, a matter of feet per
hour instead of yards and even
miles.
Rich farm lands, intensively cul-
tivated, to the extent of more than
5000 acres had been laid waste.
More than 700 homes, including two
whole towns, had been smashed and
buried under the lava as it rolled
relentlessly down the mountain,
leaping as high as 100 feet in the
air as it shriveled houses and trees.
Fortunately, as far as could be
leaned, only two lives had been
lost. The towns of Mascai and
Carrabba we're wiped out by the red
rivers of molten rock.
Damage has been estimated as
high as $50,0000,000.
Hopeful-after Professor Ponies
report-thousands of peasants made
ready to return to their valley
homes-or to the spots, marked by
mere rises where the lava had
flowed over their houses.
Village to Be Rebuilt
The government announced its
intention of rebuilding Mascali, on
a site not far from that now covered
By lava-where once the little Will
age stood.
Spectators, watching the eruption,
commented on the awful beauty of
the spectacle at night when great
red waves of lava dashed down the
mountain or sprayed out over cliffs
in a mad red whirl.
The railroad line-a Itch fruit
carrier-between Catania and Mes
sina was cut by lava flow about
fifty miles northeast of Mt. Etna.
