"Prisoner of Zenda"
Back at Columbia.
THE PRISONER OF ZENDA." "

"THE PRISONER OF ZENDA,"
which David O. Selznick made
as new and exciting a melodrama as If
it were just freshly written, returned
yesterday to the Columbia for q third,
and well-deserved, week on F street.
The old thriller with the Gnustarkian
flavor is handled on the most lavish
scale in its long and respected career.
Its coronation scene is done on q
scale that is not more than two
degrees off colossal and the man who
is crowned in it is every inch king
in the form of Ronald Colman. Col
man, of course, plays the dual roles of
the besotted king and his upright
cousin, and he handles the roles with
finish which Is characteristic OF
Colman.
1t is one of the most difficult feats
of playing to steal picture from Col
man, but Douglas Fairbanks, jr., in
the role of the terrible Rupert Of
Hentzau comes very close to doing it.
Mr.. Fairbanks never was better and
his contribution to the picture is some
thing you are bound to remember.
If you missed THE Prisoner Of
Zenda' at the Palace, you mustn't let
it happen again. J.C.

Of Castle Finckenstein
Visiting Count Likes Reproduction
In conquest" but Not Napoleon.

HE is too eager, too nervous" the
count said. 1--WE know that Napoleon
was intense in his conversation, that
he would take a man by his coat
lapel and shake him as he told him
of something that was of great i'm
portance. But he also had moments
of great repose and dignity. The
Emperor was trif1e common, but he
commanded men. Where do they show
this in the picture? 1t is too much a
love story. The battles, the super
human coordination of the mans
mind are not seen. In that one
moment where Boyer speaks Of the
Emperor's dreams of Federated
State Of Europe-yeS. But We do not
see those nights when he stood die
tating letters to his envpyS in many
different countries, where he would
dictate four lines to one aide, four to
another, four to the next, in order to
save the time 1t took them to write out
the words. and then turn back and
pick up the trend of thought written
by the man taking letter to France,
jump over to the chap who was writing
to Austria, add another paragraph to
bis orders to marshal in Italy"
We talked bit about this incredibly
organized mind that was Napoleon,
and Count Finckenstein ventured the
opinion that any European schoolboy
would know the man who almost ruled
the world WAS more than romanticist,
more and more a figure Strutting be-
fore the camera with his hand behind
his back.

"Oh, it is about that" the Count
said, L wondered. No, I have only
been in this country a short time.
Never on the West Coast. The castle
you see in the film was reconstructed
from photographs given an M-G-M
fellow in Berlin, friend of mine. He
wanted them, gave them, and then
the place was rebuilt almost identi-
cally there in the studios. The out

The Youth Problem

From the earliest times it appears that the problem
Of directing young folks i'll the proper way has en-
gagged the serious attention Of reformers and uplf-
ers-and busybodes.
A book etiquette published in 1850 gravely
warns young women Of the pers of the waltz and de-
clares that unmarried ladies should refrain from the
waltz altogether, in public and in private It is as
suned that married ladies were supposed to be i'm
mune to its demoralizng effects.

light on this tendency to worry about the young peo

The Panama Canal

On August Is, 1914, the Panama Canal was opened,
but during it's early years traffic not great owing
TO land slides which closed the channel from time to
time, and also because Of the reduced movement Of
shipping due to the war.
The canal was not declared officially opened until
1920, since which time about $4,000 commercial toll
paying vessels have passed through it, paying tolls
exceeding S300,O0O000. In addition, many American
warshps and other government vessels have used the
canal toll-free.
Up to 1885 expenditures i'll building and omproving
the canal had reached $40 million dollars the interest
On which at per cent is than 16 million dollars
a year
Contrary to the general belief, the Panama Canal
has not been a paying proposition for the United
States government when it's investment in the project
is considered During several years the deficit exceed
ed four million dollars year The only way in which
the canal be considered asset to the federal
government is by taking into account its supposed
value to the national defense.
Whether the canal could be defended against
rstclass power in time of is of the countrys
important military problems This problem did not
arise during the World War, as the Central Powers
had no fleet either the Atlantic Pacific after the
United States entered the struggle.

Colorado Riuer
To Become Clear

BOULDER CITY, New, April 49,
| (UP)-The Colorado river, so named
by early Spanish explorers because
of its reddish, muddy waters, in a
few years will be clear stream
from Boulder dam to the Gulf of
California, reclamation engineers
forecast today.
| Ruddy-colored water still pours
! into Lake Mead from the upper
Colorado, but the silt settles in the
115-mile catchbasin and clear wat
er flows from the dam outlets, they
said.
Engineers estimated the clear
water spouting from the dam in two
years has secured from the river
bed 100000 cubic yards of 9,100,-
900 tons of silt.
In the two years since the dam
was built, the clear water has clean
ed the river bed for 43 miles below
the structure. Virtually no silt is
now found in water passing Search
light ferry.
Studies showed in the first year
the clear water secured out 9.8 feet
of silt from the channel immediate
ly below the dam and an average
of Sc feet for distance of IL
miles downstream.
Securing has added about four
feet to the effective head on the
turbines, the engineers said. When
the power plant is fully equipped,
each foot of head obtained in this
manner will increase annual reve-
nues from power by $4,000.
The four feet already added,
therefore, has increased potential
earning capacity of the plant by
100000 a year. Stated in another
way, $1,5O0,00O has been added to
value of the plant. In installing the
turbines provisions were made to
utilize 20 feet of additional head to
be developed by this securing action.

Republic of Sunday March 14th It pictures five bury

tax is absolutely false With NINE exceptions, all
government employees must file income tax rturns
and pay the same as other citizens.

WASHINGTON, April 16--UP)
Construction or improvement of
approximately 470 miles of roads
and streets by WPA workers in Ari-
zona during the first ten and one
half months of operation was re-
ported by Harry L. Hopkins, Works
Progress Administrator.
The report, based upon nation
wide inventory, lists work completed
before Sept Is, 1886. The road pro-
gram was devoted chiefly to de-
velopment of the secondary high
way system. 372 miles of the total
being dirt, clay or gravel work
The WPA also laid more than %
miles of new bituminouS or con-
crete highway, and 81 miles Of suf-
facing. Repairs or improvement of
hard-surfaced roads totaled more
than 80 miles.
The inventory showed nine new
bridges we're built and six repaired
nine miles of new sidewalks, q
miles of curbs and cutters built or
repaired. and so miles of highway
landscaping.
WPA workers cleared 1896 Ari-
zona acres of diseased plants and
noxious weeds. and drained approx
mate1y $500 acres of marshy areas
Seven of trunk line storm or sani-
tary seweres were repaired and i'm
proved.
The report showed 81 school build
ings serving 8,945 pupils were re-
paired and improved, and eight
buildings were constructed

tional Park, Arizona, to d scover if
there is an animal life there and, if
there is, what countless ages of
isolation have done to it.
The mighty, muddy Colorado and
it's tributaries, cutting away for
thousands and millions of years,
have chiseled out many plateaus in
the Grand Canyon, separating them
completely from the mainland, and
leaving them flat-topped islands,
1000 feet above sea level, never
visited by man.
Only a few miles away, hundreds
of visitors stand every day on the
south and north rims of the 10 mile
wide canyon and exclaim over its
wonderful coloring and fantastic
rocks. But on the plateau-top3, life
is as untouched by man as 1t was
millions of years ago when the slow
process of erosion was just begin
ming. Trenches were cut into the
rock, the separation between the
mainland and SILVA Temple grew
wider and deeper, walls became
more vertical, some of the larger
animals escaped to the mainland
but others, waiting too long, found
themselves left on an island, 4
mile long and almost as wide.
Even before the day of air

trees on SILVA because there wore

Extension Cords
Must Be Replaced

Worn extension cords on lamps
or other electrical fixtures should
be replaced promptly. The cost S
small compared to a burned-down
house or a severe shock. When the
wires bend too easily where they
enter the connections or when the
outside silk covering wears out, it
is time to buy new cords.
