HOW a NCTNiI:GEK IUu ND
ANTARCTICA

Back in 1922 the Connecticut sloop
Hero sailed out o! the port OF Ston-
ington in command OF Nathaniel L.
Palmer, II years old. Like the Con-
necticut Yankees Of old-especially
the sea captains-he sailed the high
seas with JOY and satisfaction. When
10 days out of port the Hero was
returning north to the South Shet-
land islands, situated just below
Cape Horn. The ship had been OH u
short trip south across Bransfield
Strait. Captain Palmer had run
across" some land down there which
was not On the maps and which he
had never seen before. He thought it
was an island and tried to get around
it. But the stretch Of mountains.
rock and masses Of snow seemed in
terninable. He followed the shore
for $50 miles to the west before the
shore ice got too thick for his little
sloop. He didn't suspect 1t at the mo-
ment, but he had discovered the
Antarctic continent, also known as
Antarctica.
This was 8 years before Charles
Wilkes, American naval officer, To-
Gated this last continent. The story OF
how this Connecticut skipper was the
first to find land in the Antarctic is
told by Andrew II. Houston in an
article in the New York Herald
Tribune. and to the facts in this
narrative We stand indebted for de-
tails regarding one Of the ma ior en-
ploits OF an unnune hero in Connecli-
cut annals. who accomplished with Il
small slOop what d large expedition
sent out by the car OF all the Rus

LIONEL BARRYMORE IS
 AT COLISEUM TUESDAY

In "Fifty-Fifty," which comes to the Coliseum Theatre Tuesday for a two days ngagement, part pf the action is laid in the Apache den in Paris. Part of the action calls for one of the tough charac- ters to plunge a huge knife into table between the fingers af one of the actors hands, which is resting on the table. For this dangerous work Director Berger secured the services of Felix Rim cones, Frenchman who is a knife thrower par excellence. How well he performed the hazardous feat, and how great was the cour- age of the actor, J. Moy Bennett, in permitting him to attempt is may be realized when viewing the picture.
 MT. Bennett was seated beside the table with his hand lying palm down upon the tabletop MT. Rincones, in. the character os the irate Apache, whose displeas- ure MT. Bennett had incurred, ap- preached with most villainous looking knife, the blade of which was six inches in length. Raising his arm high above his should ST, he brought it swiftly down an'' the blade was deeply imbedded m the wood between MT. Bennett fingers; owing to some trouble with the lights, this bit Of action had to be retaken four times, but Mir. Bennett is brave man an'i uttered no word of complaint Tne life of an actor is not all peaches and cream.

- TIDES OF PASSION"
 SAID TO BE A WINNER

Tides of Passion" which opens at the Palace Theatre Tuesday, is J. Stuart Blackton production, presented under the Vitagraph banner. Mae Marsh is the star. and that in itself would be suf- ficient assurance that the picture is worth seeing
 The promises do not stop there, however. "Tides of Passion" IS an adaptation of Basil King s well known novel, "In the Garde I of Charity" and the text has been closely followed in the picturiza- tion. This means that there is no end of thrills, of action and of appealing romance.
 The greatest thrill comes wh sn two girls are marooned on a mar row. ledge of rock in the ocean and are rescued with extreme difficulty. Moments of suspense abound throughout. the unrolling of the plot, and the photography most of it of scenes on the rock bound ocean coast, is said to ba remarkable.
