Pawnbrokers Got Worst
of Deal Through a King


The story of the king who pawned
his watch for refreshments is well
known.
Another king who had contact
with pawnbrokers was Theodore of
Corsica, who came to London in the
mid-Eighteenth century, and was
buried in a Piccadilly church, only
escaping a pauper's grave by a
strangers kindness, recalls writer
in London Answers Magazine.
He had previously been a German
soldier and adventurer, Baron Won
Neuhof by name. After putting
down a rebellion in Corsica he was
offered the throne by the king Of
Sweden, who at that time claimed
the island.
In a few months King Theodore
decided to quit and live in the safer
neighborhood of London. But he had
extravagant tastes and little means
of gratifying them. After many bor-
rowings, and even spell in the
debtors prison, he put the king
dom he had deserted into pawn-to
a syndicate of so-called business
men.
He had no intention of returning
there, and even less hope Of being
received as king if he should return.
Few pawnbrokers can ever have
made such a silly deal.

Treasury Seal Old

The Great Seal of the Treasury
department, which is reproduced
on all United States paper currency,
bears an abbreviated Latin legend
which, when expanded and trans
lated, reads 1.-The Seal Of the Treas
ury of North America" It is a wit
ness to the antiquity Of the Treas
ury department, for this seal was
designed before there was a treas
ury of the United States Of America
and before there was government
of the United States Of America. It
is older than our government, older
than our Constitution. It is found
affixed to documents issued as early
as 1882, seven years before the Con-
stitution Of the United States went
into EJECT.

Old City of Client Has
Annual Parade of Nun

Once year the ancient city Of
Client provides a show that can be
seen nowhere else on earth. It Is
the procession on the day of AS
sumption Of the Virgin. At that
time, writes Frederic Babcock in
the Chicago Tribune, the nuns of
the Twelfth century Beguinages
pour forth from their walled and
moated refugees and, with heads
bent within their white wells, per-
NIT the tourists and natives to watch
them parade solemnly through the
streets. ...
The Benguinage-its names ORR
gin still mystery-came into ex-
istence in the days of the Cru
sades, when hundreds of the city's
fathers and sons lost their lives on
the battlefields of Palestine. With
no men to marry them, the widows
and young women took refuge in
these religious houses, but took no
vows. To this day the same rule is
observed and each member is free
to return to the noisy life Of the
city whenever she wishes. Further
more, the Beguines pay taxes.
American visitors often remark
that the Beguines of Client are the
'prettiest nuns" to be found any
where. Although quite unconscious
Of this esteem, these women, many
Of them from excellent families, are
not there because no one asked to
marry them. They devote their
sheltered lives to prayer and nurs-
ing the sick of the poor. Each con-
vent cottage of the Beguinage is
named for saint, and over the por-
tai of their little city within a city
are the gospel words in Latin, 81

Cripple Creek History

The district about Cripple Creek,
Colo, swarmed with prospectors in
the 1870s and 1905, but each report
Of finding gold in abundance there
proved false and for several years
thereafter the region contained only
lonely cattle ranch and a few pros
pectors who continued the search.
But on the Fourth of July, 1891, the
famous Independence vein, on what
is now the site Of Victor, trans
formed the region into one of the
greatest gold-producing districts of
the ~-orld. /

Contrast
In Films At
Thel Little

The Little Theater hits some
thing Of new high in contrasts
this week. Dark Angel and its
special added attraction, Caught
in a Cabaret" have one thing in
common, however. Both are en-
acted by performers who are tops
in their fields. Few people will
deny that Merle Oberon, Fredric
March and Herbert Marshall are
as fine a trio as could be as
sembled to portray intelligent,
romantic drama. Nor will any.
body argue but that Charlie
Chaplin is the master of slapstick.
Dark Angel" adapted by Lii
liam Hellman and Mordant Sharp
from the famous stage success Of
Guy Bolton, is war story, but
it chooses to use the World War
as a means rather than an end in
achieving it drama. It has its
share of spectacle" but it is in.
terpreted through individuals who
begin and end as normal human
beings striving to 60 about their
everyday problems.
The famous scene in which
Merle and March slip away at
night to a little country inn and
perform their own marriage cere-
mony eight hours before March
must leave for France is still one
Of the most poignant ever filmed.
And the postwar sequences, in
which Marshall returns and
March, blinded by an exploding
shell, begins a new life as an
author of children's books in a
tiny village, are all the more
beautiful because of the nerve
shattering events that brought
them about.
Caught in a Cabaret" in which
Chaplin is aided and abetted by
Mable Normand, Chester Conklin
and Mack Swain, lacks the Subtley
with which Chaplin imbued his
later pictures. But as an original
Keystone two-reeler, the kind that
first established Charlie as king
Of slapStick, it is both hilariously
nutty and a fascinating example
Of a forgotten era on the screen.
