Working feVerishIy during the
last few months, bringing to an
outstanding climax the patient
studies and experiments OF years,
the picture producers have pre-.
pared for the Forthcoming season
a program which is expected to
launch an entirely new conception
OF the art. Old standards have
been cast aside. Old ideas and
time-honored, time-worn devices
have been revealed as inadequate.
The public is invited to readjust
and enlarge its vision Of screen
possibilities.
IN the front rank Of the adj
vancing picture makers the Para
mount Famous Lasi1y Corpora
ton, biggest producer OF films In
the world, has just announced q
program Of 20 feature pictures
for the new season, exemplifying
the new development. Reports
from New York and Hollywood
indicate the greatest enthusiasm
in the industry over this new
product and predict that pictures
now on the screen by comparison
will be outmoded and antiquated
before the year ends.
New mechanical inventions have
provided the stimulus and like
wise the vehicle for this squirt.
The present excitement over
sound pictures has turned the
eyes of Hollywood toward broader
fields. Scarcely less influential is
the influence of natural color
photography which is being per.
fected and made more practical.
With films which talk and pre-
sent appearances not In black and
white but in full color, the cam-
era will present virtually the conn
plete effect OF stage plays and In
addition all the broad sweep OF
can only suggest.
The effect of such mechanical
appliances, however, reaches far
beyond the actual films which
make use OF them Immediately.
In developing a. technique for
use in sound or color pictures,
prod cers necessarily have
changed their entire attitude.
Standards have been altered for
every kind of picture, and the
new silent, black and white pic.
lures will be cast in a different
mould.
Production of the new pictures
for a time will go ahead faster
than the installation of sound
equipment in theaters. Manufac-
turers already are swamped under
their orders. So that productions
made to employ modern mechani-
cal devices to the fullest extent
probably will be shown silently in
many theaters. The difference
will be Immediately apparent to
audiences. according to the pro-
ducers, and the superiority over
the old entertainment will be
striking.
Stories intended for picture pro-
ductiOn will be more carefully Sc.
lectetl as result of these revo.
lutionized conditions. Freshness
of situation will be demanded,
since hackneyed ideas will be
more fatally conspicuous when
expressed by the spoken word.
More stage plays will be brought
to the screen, and they will be
reproduced with greater fidelity.
Music will receive greater en-
phasis. Paramount announces,
for example, that a staff of
famous composers will write origi-
nal scores to accompany all it's
sound pictures. This music viii
not be left to chance orchestras
OF varying quality but will he dis
tributed just as played by artists
OF outstanding rank.
Paramount's inclusion of sound
pictures on its program indicates
the perfection which that com
pany's mechanical devices have

and said so, but the bill went to q COM
mittee and at next meeting Of the colo
NAL council was withdrawn by Govern
ment. There was some idea it appears
that an aspersiOn was cast on the Porto
Ricans who were particularly mention
ed in the bill it being a fact that hook
worm is a disease rather prevalent over
in their island which being the largest
if not the only source from which st.
CrOix labor would he drawn anne INFO
special consideration. Whatever may be
said about the merits of chat government
measure it was a precautionary one and
one backed by foresight. But as usual
when anything emanates outside a GER
tain group it is hardly ever supported.
Today we have the distinction to add to
our list OF local diseases the dreaded and
peril0uS hOOkWOrm, an intestinal parasite
that had never before shown itself among
us neither in the Danish regime nor until
steps to keep it out became necessary,
and failed. 1t is suggested that matters
of this kind are beyond the colonial
council to deal with inteIligently. 1t
cannot be expected that the members Of
the council will be qualified to pass on a
measure requiring professional OratechnI-
misunderstanding of the subject, and. While
we blame the council for not honestly re.
lieving itself in this case of the RESPONSE
bility it assumed when it began tO.IegIslate
upon a subject of which it was ignorant,
some criticism is also due to exposing the
public health this way which in the pre-
sent instance may mean more expense
to the municipality as a result; expense
in money and physical WelIbeing. 1t Is
hoped that a campaign 20 stamp out the
imported hookwo~m will be i~naugurated
by the proper authorities and executive
measures introduced to keep it out as
originally proposed.

That phrase, according to William
E. Benton, character analyst, de-
scribes the Duncan Sisters, Rosetta
and Vivian, who are starring in the
screen version Of their "Topsy and
Eva" at the Capitol Theatre to-
night.
"They are colorful, eager pair"
says Benton, "who have learned the
secret Of being themselves. Both are
animated and friendly, but, though
sisters, they are distinctly different
in their individual characteristics.
Rosetta is the most dominant Of
the two and q better business woman
than many would be led to believe.
Her large, well-rounded head indi-
Gates broadness Of mind and great
musical and artistic tendencies.
"Her eyes are clear with littl\
sharp angles about them, indicating
q brilliant mind, quick judgment and
a sureness in everything she does"
Vivian is the most emotional Of
the two, states the character expert.
Her face is CONSPICUOUS for it's
width of forehead showing great
ideality, constructiveness and sense
Of wonder. She is interested in
studying people. The unusual width
between her eyes will always cause
her to be attracted to the bizarre
and spectacular and she will always

BAD PLUMBING
IS BLAMED FOR
MUCH SICKNESS
Grambs Says Local Ordinance
Inadequate; Higher Safety
Standard Needed
(By The Building Editor)

More sickness is caused by bad
plumbing than most people imagine
and for many maladies the plumber
has more chance of effecting cure
than the physician, is the observation
Of Frank G. Grambs after q lifetime
in the plumbing business.
Grambs installed the plumbing in
the Demonstration Home which will
be opened 20 the public for inspec-
ton next Sunday, according to pres
ent plans.
The danger from bad plumbing,
Grambs explained, is due to sewer
gas which is both colorless and odor-
less and which may escape into the
home and cause sickness without the
householder knowing the real cause
of the malady.
If your plumbing fixtures gurgle
when the water runs out of them
they are dangerous, Grambs warns,
since the gurgling noise indicates
that the gas is coming back into the
pipes and may escape into the rooms
of your house. Although not as
noticeable as leaking pipe, sewer
gas IS far more dangerous, he said,
although good plumbing permits
neither.
Modern plumbing practice provides
three ways Of eliminating sewer gas.
The first is the trap which is in
stalled in the drainage system of
every fixture. The second is q venti-
lating stack which carries off foul
odors and sewer gas and the third
is separate stack to release the
air from the drainage structure of
the fixture.
installations made by Grambs are
in accordance with the plumbing
code of the city of st. Paul, recog-
nized as one of the best in the
country. The Bismarck ordinance,
he said, is weak and inadequate and
does little to insure safety and salts
faction, hence it is necessary to es-
tablish higher standard if plumb
ing installations are to be satisfac-
tory.
Good plumbing, he said, may cost
little more than bad plumbing but
the additional cost is more than made
up by the additional health protec-
ton which it affords.
