Irene and Paris. IS

"pARIs," the First National Vita
phone picture which brings the
famous Irene Bordoni to the Washing
ton screen this week, was a very sue
cessful play on the legitimate stage and
Irene was then its star, before it at
tracted the attention of the screen pro-
ducer.
It IS, as may be imagined for a pro-
duction featuring the volatile Irene.
pure comedy. But, strange to say, it
concerns a Boston family, descendants
Of the Pilgrim Fathers, and starts off in
Sta1d New England, although 1t quickly
shifts It's characters to Paris, and there
Is where Bordoni comes in with both
feet, to use homely phrase of the
street.
Irene Bordoni is a theatrical gem of
many brilliant facets. She is as we'll
known and as much admired in Amer
lea, especially In the former land Of
witchcraft, as in her own La Belle
France. It is said she has posed for
more etchtngs and cartoons than any
other theatrical star because of her ir-
resistible appeal to artists. This appeal
was just as irresistible with lovers of
gay, spicy comedy that won laughter
on the legitimate stage. Irene ought to
make an ideal screen star, and there is
not one Of her millions of admirers who
doubts that she will.
The fact that she broke 16 statuettes
in a single day in making her picture
OF Paris" Is no argument at all that
the clever French star is temperamental
In an unpleasant sense. Quite the con-
trary. Irene has the reputation rather
of making you feel always that you
want to cuddle up to her and be
friends.

Animals Gone Talkie.

THEY may not have an English ac-
cent nor know a broad "a" when
they meet one, yet the wild animals of
Hollywood nevertheless are said to have
gone talkie."
In 1.-The Girl From Woolworth's," the
First National Vitaphone picture star
ring Alice White, at the Earle this week,
lions, tigers and leopards make their
debut in talking pictures. The scenes
were made at the Luna Park Zoo, In
Hollywood. Microphones were placed
directly in the center of the cages, and
while the cameramen stayed at a dis
Greet distance the animals did their
stuff" with their trainers for the films.
1t is the first time that sound pic
lures had been made at this zoo, and a
huge crowd of extras were paid to watch
q very novel and at times exciting
show. The roar of the lions, the hiss of
the leopard and the crack of the train
er's whip are all vividly reproduced, al
though the story concerns little To-
cent store clerk who falls in love with
a subway guard and eventually lands a
spot in a night club revue.

Sue and Santa Claus.

SUE HASTINGS, whose marionettes
enact Pathe's "Santa's Toy Shop"
a musical novelty production, not only
directs her own puppet show but makes
the marionettes as we'll She models the
figures in plasticine, makes casts for
the heads and paints them, constructs
miniature stage sets, designs and sews
the costumes, strings up puppet, con-
ducts a rehearsal or is the changeable
voice behind the star parts.
Speaking of her work, Miss Hastings
says: MY marionettes aim to be ar
tistic little actors as well as comic. Some
people may think spend a lot Of time
over dolls. Marionettes are more than
dolls. They require deal of patience
to make. Every little wooden figure,
after it is hand carved, is weighted and
jointed and attached to dozens of
strings to make it capable of every
human movement. Then it has to be
costumed and its face has to be painted
for expression. The miniature stage has
to be equipped with lighting effects ar
ranged Just as in a large theater." -

its president.

gether undisturbed on the preparation
of THE Dark Chapter" for the screen.
. There is mystery and comedy and
drama in this E. j. Rath story, and 1t
will give Denny the task to portray a
character that requires real acting
ability.

played alternately in England and
America, having been seen here, with
few intermissions, however, since he

as the Edna Community Church.
It is understood it is in a beauti-
full residential section of Minneap-
oils and comprises within its boun-
daries the Country Club Addition.
Plans are in the making for the
building of fine new church COM
patible with the beautiful surround
ings of the district, and it is as
leader in this enterprise, as well as
in maintaining the life and activi-
ties of the Edna Church that Rev.
Sparkes has been called. He might
have stayed in Sank Centre indefi-
nitely as far as his people are con-
cerned, but they are grateful that
he has remained with them so long,
and they rejoice with him in this
new opportunity which has come.
Rev. Sparkes leaves behind him
a well organized, prosperous and
united Church, and he goes with
the good wishes not only of his
own people, but of the community
of which he has for more than
twelve years been a part.
Rev. Sparkes will take UP his
new pastorate Sept. 1. He contem-

plants that grow in sunlight and is
stored in the part that shows a
green or yellow color at maturity.
Thus we find it in yellow corn, the
outer leaves of cabbage, the leaves
of alfalfa and similar plants, in yell
low carrots and in sprouted oats, if
they are sprouted in the presence
of enough sunlight to insure a
good green color. Any other kind
only sources of vitamine A, but
they are the ones principally used
in poultry feeding. Strangely
enough, drying does not affect the
vitamine content of vegetable pro-
ducts, fact which accounts for
the value of alfalfa hay, and meal,
when used for winter feeding. ).
Another valuable source of vita.
mine A is Cod Liver Oil. When a
sufficient quantity of the products
mentioned above cannot be obtain
ed, Cod Liver Oil at the rate of
about 2 per cent may be added to
the mash to provide the necessary
vitamine A content and also the
equally valuable Vitamine d.
Vitamine D, just mentioned, is
important because without it the
mineral elements of the fowls ra-
ton intended to supply bone and
egg shell will simply pass through
the system unused. In young
chicks this appears as "leg weak
ness" or, more properly, ricketts,.
Older fowls show a similar weak
ness when they are not getting
enough vitamine D. They will also
lay eggs with soft or extremely
thin shells. Their eggs will also
prove deficient in Matching quail
ties.
A popularity of vitamine D is
that it can be formed both in the
feed or in the bodies of the birds
themselves when exposed to direct
