COLOSSAL DIAMOND.
FOUND IN BRAZIL.
Brazilian Prospector Discov-
ers Stone Estimated to Be
Worth HaIf-MiIIion Dollars.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RIO DE JANEIRO, May 16.-The
largest rose diamond ever found In
Brazil, second in weight only to the
blue stone known as the Southern Star
was recently discovered in the state OF
Minas Geraes. 1t was uncovered in the
same mining section where the Southern
Star was found in July, 1852.
The new stone is now in possession
of a Jewelry firm here headed by Glen
r. Byrkett, an American. In the rough
it weighs III carats and when cut. it
is estimated, 1t will weigh 40 caratS and
be worth nearly $500,000.
Experts say. too. that several smaller
perfect rose stones can be cut from the
mass besides the principal diamond.
These would be worth about $4,000 a
carat.
The diamond was found several weeks
ago on the Abete River in the Jaca dis
triot by Brazilian prospector. He sold
it for $4,000 and the second owners
received $4,000 for it from the jewelers..
An Antwerp firm has cabled an offer
of $4,000 for half of the stone, but this
has been refused.

Betty Compson, who has reach
ed new heights through the med
ium Of talking pictures, heads the
cast Of well-known players. This
talented star possesses a rich,
sweet voice and wealth of dra-
matte power. Her role in Street

VIII Makes TalIxie Debut in Per-

Will Rogers first all talking pic
ture. "They Had to See Paris" was
featured at the Hennepin-O Orpheum
Theatre, Minneapolis, last week,
and scored a splendid success. The
picture will be shown at the Ok
ford theatre, Sauk Centre, Sun
day, and Monday, Dec. 29-30. It is
adapted from Homer Croy's widely
read novel, with dialog by Owen
Davis, Sr, dean Of American play
rights.
The story deals with the expert
ences in Paris of the Peters fam
lily Of Oklamoma- after it has be-
come suddenly rich from an oil
gusher. Mrs. Peters is ambitious
to consort with nobility and, after
renting chateau, stages recep-
ton to which many titled people
are invited, but who demand pay
ment in advance for attending the
function. Among them is a grand
duke who asks the top price of
$1,000.
Peters is not in sympathy with
this proceeding, but is out-maeuv-
cred by his wife and daughter,
Opal. One of the guests is the
Marquis de Brissac Corday, to
whom Mrs. Peters determines to
! marry her daughter.
Meanwhile, Peters becomes more
or less intrigued by Claudine, a
cafe entertainer, and Ross Peters,
the son, becomes enmeshed in a
romance with cocotte known as
Fleurie.
In due course, the marquis pro-
poses to Opal, but demands set
tlement of half million dollars
which Peters refuses to pay, end
ing the argument by practically
pitching the marquis out of the
chateau.
One Of the high spots Of the pro-
duction occurs when Peters and
the grand duke stage a dance
while intoxicated, Peters in suit
or armor. The production is re-
plete with laughs.
Rogers enacts the role of Pike
Paters, Irene Rich appears as the
wife, Marguerite Churchill is the
daughter, Owen Davis, Jr., is the
SON. Fiji Dorsay, a French act
ress who was the sensation in
Paris and New York, is seen as
Claudine. Ivan Lebedeff is the
marquis.
Thousands who have read Mr..
Rogers inimitable stuff every day
may see and hear him in 'They
Had to See Paris"
