darted into one Of these tunnels and

Paper Films for the Movies.

In the early days of the kodak vari-
Gus experiments were tried in the di-
rection of securing a Aim made OF
paper, but it was never properly worked
out and it was discovered that cellu-
loid could be made to answer the pur-
pose and it was adopted and generally
and generously made use of to the
end that miles OF film were filled with
bathing beauties, babbling brooks and
bubbling babies. The paper film idea
has been revived and perfected by a
Berlin inventor who claims to have
made film of paper which is much
safer more economical and just as
good for the purpose as the celluloid
ribbon.

Friday and Saturday. Another
strong name was added to the cast
of ''Three Week Ends, the Elinor
Glyn story in which Clara Bow
stars when Harrison Ford was as
signed to play an important role
in the production. Ford plays the
role of wealthy Broadway busi-
ness man whose days of playing
with members of the chorus are
far from over. The popular actor
who has been playing on the legiti-
mate stage in Hollywood, is no
stranger on the Paramount Tot.
His previous role at that studio
was in the support of Ruth Taylor
and James Hall in "Just Married" +"
by Anne Nichols. Ford joined a
cast in support of Miss Bow which
includes Neil Hamilton, leading
man, Edythe Chapman, Buy Oliv-

Wednesday and Thursday-W When
the Armistice ended the World
War young German army officer
returned to Berlin to find loyal
troops and revolutionists battling
in the streets. On his way to call
ON a girl he was mistaken for a
revolutionist and fired upon by a
machine gun crew. Throwing
away bouquet of flowers he was
carrying, the officer threw himself
TO the pavement and crawled to
safety A few months ago the
former German officer, Carl Won
Hartman, now a motion picture
actor, was acting in a scene with
Gilbert Roland, leading man in
Norma Talnadge's latest United
Artists picture, ''The Woman Dis
puted." AS he and Roland walked
in front Of squad of Austrian"
soldiers he recognized among the
extras the leader of the machine
gunners who fired on him in the
German capital ten years ago. The
machine gunner was Hans Won
Feurberg, who also is appearing in
''The Woman Disputed" 1t was
the first time Won Hartman and
Won F'eurberg had seen each other
since that exciting day near the
Brandenberger Gate in Berlin.
Both exhibited such surprise at the
mutual recognition that Director
Henry King had to retake the
scene. Won Feurberg recalled the
incident that nearly cost Won
Haartman's life-because he pick

PUPILS TAKEN OUT SCHOOL
Reasons for This Mistake, Don't
Stunt the Child's Brain

The problem is now being con-
sidered in some homes, whether or
not to take children out of school
at the opening of the coming term.
Many of these children are taken
out at a very early age. when they
should still be studying, and when
their tender bodies are hardly fit
to carry the heavy burdens of in
duStry. There are some cases of
bright and capable children, whose
parents need the money they can
earn. Yet the ambition of the
American people is such, that it
rarely happens that a really bright
child is pulled out of school at a
very early age. People instructive
ly feel what a mistake this is.
When such cases become known to
teachers and school officers and
neighbors, everything possible
should be done to induce the fam
lilies to let these children study
longer. Taking a child out when
he could benefit by further study,
is about like putting a brick on his
head so he can't grow any more.
Stunted things are dwarfed and
deformed. Don't stunt the child's
brains. What happens more fire.
quently is that children are not do
ing well in school, and they desire
to quit, and their parents may feel
they would be better off while
working, even if still quite young.
Something may be the matter with
modern education in many of our
cities, not to provide some form of
training that would interest and
inspire this type of children One
reason why many of these boys
and girls do not do we'll in school,
is that they get so little help at

VIOLATED THE OYSTER LAW
Three Men Accused of Dredging
Oysters Have Hearing at Dover

Charged with violation of the
oyster laws, John Hardy and
George Munger, of Little Creek
and Daniel Collins of Dover, were
given a hearing last week before
Magistrate H. Ridgely Harrington.
Three separate charges were made
of dredging oysters after sunset,
dredging out of season and using
power to dredge oysters. Captain
George e. Walls, of the State
Guard boat gave testimony as to
the violations in the bay on Tues
day evening. Captain Walls test
flied that after discovering the
boat he and his crew left the scene
for time and later came back
and observed the boat making cir
cles and acting similar to boat
engaged in dredging. AS they ap-
preached the boat, the captain
testified they observed dredge
going over the side Of the boat and
upon reaching it found pile of
oysters on deck. Some of the
oysters were submitted as evil
dence. Melvin Hopkins, attorney

Monday and Tuesday - 'Hey
Rube! Hey Rube!" That's what
someone, a practical jober, yelled
Justify on the set the other day
when Clara Bow and 200 perform
ers of the Al w. Copeland circus
were shooting scenes of her next
all-talking picture. Dangerous
Curves" The result of the yell
was that everyone in the Copeland
tents came tumbling and romping
out to the open, thinking that one
of their number was in trouble.
For Hey Rube" is the traditional
call given by trouper when he
gets into trouble with the town
les (outsiders). Miss Bow herself
was among the actors who ran to
the outside in response to the call
-raring to go. But everyone soon
discovered that it was only a joke.
Miss Bow learned a number of
strange expressions characteristic
of the sawdust lot when she was
with the circus unit. Every day
when she entered the set for her
routine before the camera and mi
crophones, she gave the fellow
troupers a big thrill by remarking,
as she passed inside, "All right
brother" This is circus slang for
I'm with the show" In Danger
GUS Curves, the peppy red-head
gets away from her fiapper queen
roles and dons the spangles Of a
bareback rider and the motley of
a clown. Richard Arlen, her lead
ing man, portrays a tight wire
walker. David Newell and Kay
Francis are other members of the
featured supporting cast. The
story is an original, written for
Miss Bow by Lester Cohen, the
author of the novels, "Sweepings"
and '"The Great Bear" Donald
Davis and Florence Ryerson wrote
the adaptation. Viola Brothers
Shore wrote the dialog. Miss
Bows last previous appearance
with Arlen was in Ladies of the
Mob"
