Increased speed has made it pos

Picturesque Land in
Pyrenees Gay and
Charming.

1ARRIIZ, france, OCTOBER 26.
x In the shadow of the
Pyrenees, between the At
~ lantic Ocean and the Medi-
terranean, between France and Spain,
lies the romantic land of the Basques.
Giant peaks capped with virgin snow
dazzle the eyes of all visitors who
come to this region, but the snow is
too far away to interrupt the en-
joyment of sunshine. Tremendous
forests of pine. palms, olives and
semi-tropical vegetation help explain
why thousands crowd to the famous
resorts Of Pau, Biarritz, and the spas
at Luchon, Cauterets, Vernets and
Eaux-Bonnes every Winter.
Would you hunt, fish, yacht golf, or
merely rest and breathe the sunny,
healty, snow-cooled air, then hunt
out the surf-beaten coasts of the Bay
of Biscay. the vivid blue Of the Medi-
terranean. or any of the quaint valley
and hill villages between the two seas?
Those who seek medicinal springs
have a choice of over 500. most of
them in French territory. Those who
find foreign languages an added
charm of any region have choice of
four here, Spanish, French, Basque or
Catalan. English, too, is well under
stood. for several generations Of
visitors have taught many of even the
humblest inhabitants to converse on
those subjects which travellers wish to
know more Of.
TO SEE the picturesque villages, it
is we'll to stay at Biarritz and
make excursions from it, for it is the
Paris of the Bay of Biscay. The streets
are full of fashion and JOY. Colossal
Atlantic breakers hurl themselves
against the rocks.
At Hendaye, where famous liqueur
is made, a curious little Basque sea-
port provides amid its torturous
streets a visit to the Middle Ages
which can seldom be duplicated any,
where in Europe.
Pau is popular. While not as warm
in Winter as the Riviera, it has less
wind and is sought out from Decem-
ber to March by hundreds Of travellers
in delicate health. Here one may take
a drive up the Val d'Ossau, which is
one of the loveliest valleys in the
Pyrenees, and affords splendid views
of the range. In this valley peasants
still retain their ancient costumes and
on feast days follow age-old customs
which are almost forgotten in other
places.
A GOOD excursion is to travel from
Biarritz via St. Jean de Luz and
SAINT Estaban to Pamplona and return
by San Sebastian, or as others prefer
from Bayonne to Pamplona via
EliZondo. returning through Ronces.
valles and st. Jean Pied-de-port.
This second route takes one through
the Forest of Ustaritz, the confines
of which were long held sacred by
the Basque people, the mystery OF
whose racial origin and quaint GUS
toms still give romance 10 a tour oi
the Pyrenees lands.

Navy Men Are Actors.

A SCENE was being shot in Bancroft
{ Hall, United States Naval Acad-
emy, for a sequence in Annapolis
Farewell" About so young men were
lined up in the big rotunda awaiting
the administering Of the oath which
would make them midshipmen. "A
Broadway actor, playing the part Of
commander in the United States
Navy, was administering the oath.
Alexander Hall, director of "An-
napolis Farewell" turned to Comdr.
Oscar c. Badger, executive department
of the academy, and asked: rs he
doing that right?"
We'll, not exactly" said Badger.
II wish you'd get in there and show
him how it's done," said Hall. and
the naval officer, who had admin
istered the oath many times, took the
actors place and played the scene
just as it is done in the routine Of
admitting a new class of plebes.
Badger did the scene so perfectly
that Hall asked him If he would play
it again for the camera Badger said
20. K" and made his debut as a
film player as casually as he would do
any bit in his days duties as an
officer attached to the academy.
In later scenes Director Hall used
Lieut.. Edward S. Hutchinson and
Lieut.. John F. Newman, jr., officers at
the academy, in preference to expert
enced stage and screen actors who
had been employed for roles. Both
Hutchinson and Newman, though
without any acting experience, played
their roles with more realism than
Hall could procure from trained
actors.
In another scene-showing plebes
being instructed in the art of tying
Glove hitch and other rope knots
Hall used a non- commissioned officer,
Chief Signalman C. B. Clark, rather
than a Hollywood actor who had never
tied a rope knot in his life. These
Navy men do the work naturally,
that's ALL" said Hall.
