THE increased interest shown all
over the country by exhibitors
and picture tans in tne serial
photoplay is proof of a definite and
permanent development .ahead in
that field. This is the oinion of
Lloyd Ingraham, the director of the
Douglas MacLean-Doris May pic
tures, the outstanding new successes
from the Ince studio during the past
year.
"While my work is not along this
line," he said, "I have watched the
growing popularity of the serial
J with the interest tnat a director
would naturally feel in the trend of
the day in pictures. But I believe
the development we may look for
will take place in a more rational
way than in the past. I refer to the
quality of the story. There is no
reason why serials should not be as
popular on the screen as they are
in the magazine pages.
"Heretofore the material out of
which serials have been made has
been of a very exaggerated order.
j in a succession of preposterous sit-
nations and ' movements, plainly
i. 'doped up by scenario writers and
'bearing sniall likeness to life. These
1 fabrications were carried so far that
the public finally took them at their
true worth. Audiences either
yawned or lauehed at the tricks em
ployed in the efforts to provide
tiirtiis.
"Public taste has been educated
above the Deadeye Dick and Old
Sleuth order of tale. Producers have
discovered that there is a new fol
lowing for serials if they are made
rational and human. Such pictures
ouRht to have a large public, like
the magazine continued story; and
thev would have the advantage of
keeping us waiting only a week for
the next episode, instead ot a
month.
ut course, each episode ot a
screen story must be interesting by
itself in order to be of value to
spectators who have not been able
to follow the links in the chain. But
the chain could, by ingenuity, be
made to have enough relation be
tween the links to influence the au
diences to see all the episodes.
"Thrills made for their own sake
draw a public with morbid taste:
in its very nature it is a fickle and
unstahlc clientele. It dashes off in
another direction when a new sen-
fation is announced, and from that
to another. But a serial made out
of real human situations, if adroitly
put together, should have the ele
ments of popularity anions; normal
people and be increasingly poular."

Tom Brown,-producer of vaude

his latest effort, "Tom Brown's
Musical Revue," to the Empress as
the stellar attraction of the new
show opening today. The company

offer their "Ship Ahoyl" act, which
is one oi the cleanest and cleverest
comedy creations that has ever been
staged. The boys give a burlesque
of the Patte Girls and Annette Kel

comedy. Jose Saxton and Jack Far

bearing the odd title of "Lights."
The act is said to be one continual
round of laughter. Conwell and

"Whistling Well" In Kansas
Is Puzzle to Geologists
Meade, Kan., Feb. 21. Geolosists
are unable to explain the mysterious
acuons oi wnat is known as the
"whistling well," recently drilled on
the farm of Fred Dahm, 10 miles
east of here.
During fair weather the air is
drawn down a hole, which is ISO
feet deep, with sufficient suction to
cause a whistlinsr sound, while
prior to a storm the air current is
reversed and rushes from the welL

Attributes Longevity to
Whisky and Salt Porlc
Mendota. III.. Feb. 21. To liv
long, drink whisky and eat salt
pork, says Austin Samuels, 84.
Forty years ago, he says, physicians
told him he was tubercular and that
he would not live long. It made him
mad and he began drinking whisky
and eatings salt pork. Immediately
he started to pick op, and in a short
time , was well. He claims the
whisky, ndt pork have helped him
xo live as long as he has. Mr. and
Mrsi Samuels recently celebrated
their 60th vedding anniversary.

Girl Said She Was
In Hurry to Die; Bell
Hop Runs for Poison
St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 21. St. Louis
is claiming to possess the most ac
commodating hotel- bellhop in the
cbuntry.
Hark to its evidence.
A young woman registered at a
Ninth! street hotel under the name
of Edna Howard. The police ob
tained her age as 20, which is, of
course, irrelevant to the story. f
Answering a ring from the lady's
room a gallant negro porter was
met by a request to "go out and
get me some poison. I want to com
mit suicide."
The porter hurried to a nearby
drug store, put the proposition to
the clqrk and obtained a small bot
tle containing a white fluid. Hurry
ing back, he presented the bottle,
watched the young lady drink it

Two Air Bombs Create
Havoc at Aberdeen
Aberdeen, Md., Feb. 21. Two
112-pound bombs dropped from an
airplane 8,000 feet in the air during
a proving process af the Aberdeen
proving grounds missed their mark
and falling on a railroad track in
the aviation field tore up the rails
for 300 feet and created consterna
tion in the town.
Naval officers from Washington
were at the grounds to see the prov
ing. , Many bombs were used, but
only two went astray. Owing to
the danger attending this proving
it was decided' that there would be
no more of it.
Evanston Girls Eat
Yeast Cakes to Keep
Their Beauty Lines
Evaston, 111., Feb. 21. Grocers
here recently started an investigation
into the suspicious circumstances
surrounding the unusual purchase
of yeast by many of the co-eas
of the Northwestern . university.
Enough yeast had been sold to sup
ply the demand of a chain of bak
eries. . They couldn't understand it
unless the girls were trying home
brew receipts.
.The inquisitive grocers learned
that the co-eds had been reading
beauty hints, which stated that yeast
is a great producer and maintainer
of complexion, form and general pul
chritude. Those who were too
plump munched the yeast cakes to
reduce. Those who were too thin
nibbled the cakes to grow plump.
Those who were just right ate yeast
to remain that way.
The Evanston grocers were much
relieved and laid in fresh supplies
of yeast cakes.
Expert With "Ivory Cubes"
Names Daughter "Natural"
Wabash, Ind., Feb. 21. Recently
a baby girl was bom to Joseph Cum
mings whose skill with pairs ol
small ivory cubes is widely known.
The baby weighed 7 pounds 11
ounces at birth.
, Joe named her "Natural." i
Says Unrest Due to
Fact War, Failed to
Make Everybody Rich
Cincinnati, O., Feb. 21. That the 1
world's unrest is due to disappoint
ment because the recent world war
failed to work miracles is the belief
expressed by Prof. I. Leo Sharfman
of the department of economics,
University of Michigan.
"We expected too much of the
war," said Prof. Sharfman. "It was
exploited as the cure for all ills, po
litical and economic.
"Human beings are easily ap
pealed to by the dramatic. This
caused many overstatements to be
made during the war.
Aow, because we are paying
higher prices than ever before for
food and clothing, because it is the
same old worhi that it was before
the war, because we even read an
occasional threat of future wars, al
though we remember being assured
there were to be no other wars
morale is seriously effected," he
said.
Parsnips Make Wine
Princeton, W. Va., Feb. 21. This
is one of the big parsnip-growing
sections of the United States, yet it j
is almost impossible to buy parsnips
at the groceries here. The dry law
has brought about the scarcity, for
the crop has gone into the manufac
ture of wine. It is said that all that
is necessary is to run the parsnips
through the cider press and excellent
wine is produced. '
