LITTLE THEATER--"Siegfried."

"Siegfried," UFA'S picturization Of
the famous Niebelungenlied story, Is
being presented at the Little Theater
this week, and along with 1t the Rema-
phone. another device for synchroniz-
ing music with the action of the film
The photoplay follows the original
Teutonic epic much more closely than
the libretto Of the Wagnerian opera of
the same name, and much of the music
of the opera is used in the Remaphone
accompaniment.
AS past experience would lead one to
expect, the strongest point of "Sieg-
fried" is in its photography. Some of
the trick work is carried out with such
cleverness and artistry that one is bound
to be converted to the opinion that
any of the Hollywood directors would
profit by a few lessons from their Ger
man colleagues.
Siegfried. the hero of the legend, sets
out to win a princess whose beauty has
been sung far and wide. On his way
he Stays dragon. subjugates l3 kings
and battles an army of dwarfs. He
arrives at his destination and wins his
love- only to be treacherously killed, for,
like Achilles, he has just one vulnerable

Farming in a region that receives
little rainfall, he has known the dis
couragement that comes with crop fail

less arid climeS, he studied how to re-
tain more moisture in the soil. When
some farmers, seeing their wheat de-
Etroyed by drought, became so angry
they cursed, Huff turned to preaching
the Gospel.
When the Farmers Union was or
ganized in Northwestern Kansas two
decades ago, he was among the first to
join. Later he moved to the little
town Of Oronoque, near the old Huff
homestead, to manage the farmers CO.

ness enterprises. Meanwhile, he kept
up his work as a Christian minister.
