 BUILDS FLOATS FOR CARNIVAL
Romantic Literature and Historical Themes to
 Be Portrayed

New Orleans = GU. P.) Work ing in secret dens along Calliope street, designers are buslly engag- ed on more than 100 floats that will grace the streets at next springs Mardi Gras.
 Romantic themes from 1itera- ture and history will be portrayed in the exhibits, arranged by the Krewes of Comus, Rex. Proteus, the Druids and other lesser gods of one of the oldest and most pie tureaque celebrations in the land. Reduced transportation rates and lower costs ''all along the line" are promised this season. Mardi Gras will fall on February | 2s in 1883. This will mean a fort night more of parties and balls for the 30 debutantes of New Or- leans society than last year, when the occasion was earlier. All fes- tivities end when the chimes of old St Louis Cathedral toll the hour of, midnight on Mardf Gras day, and the arrival of Ash Wednesday and Lent, the season of prayer and penance.
 Advance reports were that the parade of Momtls, one of the greater carnival organizations, had been abandoned this year One of the other groups was ex- pected to fill the gap on the Sat- urday night preceding Mardi Gras, when the Momus parade customarily is held.
 Many of the carnival organiza- tions already have held secret banquets, at which details of the pageants were discussed.
 The origin of the carnival is credited [ to the young dandies of the Creole days here. The youths, returning from school in Paris, set aside this period for last fling of gaiety before Lent, according to traditions. In 1872 the carnival att tracted His Imperial Highness, the Grand Duke of Alexis, of Rus sia, to New Orleans.

Movies Playing To-day
NORMA snEARER IN ssnrrETN' THROUGH AND PRIDE OF THE LEGION" ON STRAND BILL NOW.

Norma shearer in "smilin' Through" heads the screen pro- gram at sWarner's strand theater to-day, tomorrow and Thursday. The supporting cast includes Fred ric March, Leslie Howard, o. P. Heggief and Ralph Forbes. It is Miss Shearer's second venture into the unusual in drama. Her previ- ous departure was in Strange In- |terlude," in which she had the singular experience of both speak ing and hearing her silent thoughts expressed audibly.
 In the speaking screen version of "Smilin' Through" Miss Shear CT has an advantage which Jane Cowl was not permitted in the stage production. First as the in- tended bride and then as the ward of Sir John Carteret,. the role which Leslie Howard plays, Miss Shearer is able to return in fantasy er--in which moments of reverie she appears twice in a single scene.
 Thus, although the story covers Q AAty yC4TS AdpSc. DA LAAhics QuElhiB which Leslie Howard grows from youth to white-haired old age, Miss Shearer remains youthful through out. It is, the star comedies, her severest dramatic test to date, not excepting her difficult role in Strange Tnterlude.'
 Also Play Dual Roles
 Fredric March and Leslie .How- ard, as heads of her dramatic cast, also have unusual trials in charac- terization. March, like Miss Shear CT, has two roles in the story. In the beginning he is Jeremy Wayne, rival of Leslie Howard for the hand of Moonyeen. Later he por- trays the son of Jeremy Wayne, re- turning to England at the time the country is preparing to enter the World War.
 The companion feature is Pride Of the Legion, being shown, for the first time in- Waterbury, and with a splendid cast.

Edmund Lowe and Victor McLaglen, the battling buddies of previous pic- lures, are starred with Richard Arlen in Guilty as He'll" adapted from the successful playv Riddle Me This" which enjoyed a long run on Broadway last season. They are cast as reporter and 8 de- tective, respectively. who are called in to solve a murder that the au- dience sees committed at the open. ing of the film. The audience knows who's guilty of the crime. but McLaglen and Lowe don't. And their bungling efforts to solve it, though they're finally successful. are, meanwhile, highly amusing. Arlen is cast as a man implicated by circumstantial evidence. and saved from the gallows only at the last minute. Adrienne Ames, as his sister, is the "heart interest" who keeps McLaglen and Lowe on the run. The cofeature is "Side Walks of New York" with Buster Keaton and Anita Page.
