Every Harold Lloyd feature com-

it. Starting with “A Sailor-Made
min." which was his first picture
to be as long as four reels, there has
not been a single Lloyd film that
could becompsred with any other.
for each has been distinctive and
varied in type and idea.

Xou may‘havn liked “Grandma's

you cannot compare them and any

Douglas MacLesn makes his final
appearance today in his famous mys-
tery-comedy. "A Man of Action." at
the Rialto theatre. Douglas Mac-
Lean has never been funnier than
in his characterization of Bruce Mac-
Allister. a poor little rich boy to
whom life has been just one darn

draw from Griffith. when it wt!
pointed out that any one can see an

that a man-made storm h the great-

elation of his secret.

Certain scenes in the picture are
advertised as having been taken dur-
ing a. tormdo which swept New
York. taking a heavy toll of lives
and property. and this is true.

Camera men we!) rushed out
from the studios of the company at
the height of the storm to record the
spectacle of mighty trees bowing be-
fore the biast or “crashing to the
earth. and obtained a remarkable
piece of film.

When it came to weaving a plot
around and introducing characters
into these scenes. however, the film
experts in the Griffith laboratories
confessed their limitations. It had
first been proposed to take a sep-
arate film and after recording the
action of the story on it. to super-
tmpose it on the storm film. thus
getting the background desired.
While this might have been done.
it would have restricted the plot in
many ways. It. therefore. became
necessary to devise an artificial
storm without the dividing line be-
ing discovered.

According to one music critic in
New York. no less than 13.000 mu-
sic pupils-so called mostly by cour-
tesy-are turned loose upon the gen-
eral public by the "teachers” of the
Metropolis. What is happening in
New York is happening in every
other city in the United States in a
relative degree. and the music man—
agers. music critics and others are
seeking some way to reduce this
number.

There are many brilliant singers
developed each year. but the num-
ber developed to the number of
small. Har-
riet Van Emden. he young singer
who was trained‘ y Madame Sem-
hrich and who later achieved re-
markable successton the ceoncert
stage. principally in Europe where
she has beenOa favo lie for two
years. laments this condition.
She declares:

"the saddest thought of all must
ever be to consider how many ex-
cellent cooks and tailors human
society has been deprived of in this
way. For it is of infinitely more lin-

cooklng and tailoring than that we
should be furnished with bad music.

To make music has become a de-
cided form of\ lsease. As one has
the measles formerly. so one has
piano playing nowadays The modern
concert life is the genuine nursery
of incompetence.

 

(Q of the Telephone.
There are approximately 14.100.-
000 telephones in use in the United
States and about 39.000.000 chnvcr-
sniions daily. in other words. one
out of every three persons in the
i‘nited States utilizes the telephone
at least once daily throughout the
year.
New Bellowncd telephones added
yearly average about 600.000.

the sense of security ,gainst miaior-

the public in general is not acquaint-

The insurance busineu is perform.

public. The stocks and bonds of the

insurance companies are today hold-

securities in trust for' the benefit of

Secretary. Insurance Federation of
America.

It has been well said that insur}
ance is the basis of credit. An analy-
sis of the situation proves this fact.
Any action which injures a man's
credit. limits his opportunity to do
business. An injury to the insurance
industry automatically effects the
business credit of the nation.
