“THE THREE BUCKAROOS"
A RIOT OF ACTION, LOVE
AND RED BLOOD
Alexander Dumas' thrilling adven
ture story, "The Three Musketeers,"
one of the best known quasl-histori
cal novels of all times, has been
filmed so frequently in America and
| in Europe that, aside from its vast
! number of readers, millions have
| .Seen one or another of the film ver
! sions, all of which were based on,
and followed more or less closely,
j the context of Dumas’ original story.
I Fred Hal3liofer has lifted the plot
I in part and taken certain other lib
erties with it for the purpose o
making an altogether highly enter
talning Western comedy drama. H>
has succeeded in injecting all of thi
bravado and intrepid spirit of th<
hero of Dumas’ tale Into a fightiu/
ranger of the Golden West, and lair
the story in the heart of tin1 higl
Sierras in the West, of old “wheri
blood Is young and hate is hold
where life is life anil men are met
-for love and honor glories them.
Vmi he has made the character!
human, living, loving, haling, fight

has been accomplished with note
and oiTee.iive results In Mary Mi Inf
Midler's' new llealait picture, which
is the feature attraction at the Coll
scum theatre today and tonight
Almost every animal that Noah
saved for the exhibition talents o]
modern circus trainers has been sue
erssfully presented on the screen
hut the wild bird lias uiiiil the pres
ent remained untamed ami unrespou
sive to the siren call and generous
salary paid motion picture actors
But in “Jenny Re Good” the re
sult has been attained. As Miss
Min ter plays the violin at the tree
house, her favorite play spot, flic
birds fly down from the branches
of the trees and gather about her
on the ground and in the tree—one
of the strangest audiences ever gath
ered anywhere.
Miss Mintor has refused to reveal
how sho managed to make her feath
ered friends act in this manner.
GHOSTS ON SCREEN
ARE PROVING USEFUL
Interesting arguments upholding
llio use of the supernatural t>n the
screen and In drama are offered
by Agnes Ayres, Paul Powell and
Milton Sills, respetively star,'direct
or and leading man of “Borderland,"
Miss Ayres new Paramount picture
which is said to utilize psychic phen
omena as an integral part of the plot.
“It's not necessary to believe in
‘ghosts' to enjoy such a story,"
says Miss Ayres. "Whether or not
you believe that the dead can com
municate with tile living, cannot in
terfere with your enjoyment of what
might happen were it possible for
souls passed on to warn the living
against making mistakes."
"The fanciful will always at
tract," insists Milton Sills, leading
man. “I know two great scientists
who do not believe In spirits, hut
whose favorite plays are respective
ly ‘Lilloin’ and ‘Peter Pan."
It is said that “BorderlanjJ," which
tomes to the Coliseum Theatre Sun
day and Monday, will attract pat
ronage not only because or its nov
elty but because of Its plot. An ex
cellent cast includes Milton Sills.

Farmer Sorts Bad Beans from
Without Touching Them
ELECTRIC LIGHT*
1 If all the beans grown in the United
States in a single year were placed end to
end they would form a chain of 10 strands
connecting the earth and the moon.
Imagine having to pick out every tenth or
twentieth bean from each strings. How
ever,. something quite similar occurs in
sorting the bean crop every year, for the
bed ones have to be picked out before
: marketing the product.
1 Ray F. McWilliams, a Michigan farmer,
seeing his profits being wiped out beeaum
of the primitive and Mine-consuming
1 method of sorting beans by hand, set
e about to simplify this work. He learned
, that a mineral (selenium) was sensitive to
! changes in light upon it, resulting in a
v similar variation in its alastrical con
q dactivity. Utilising selenium cells, he do
a signed a novel machine that torts IS
i bushels of beans an hour, performing the
.. work of SO people with more than human
accuracy.
I. The beans am placed in a trough at the
D top of the machine from which they an
hoppers until they pass out in single me
along a pair of horisontal feed rollers. A
eeleninm pell ia placed over each pair of
rollers, and Is so inclosed that it receives
hgbt only through a tube, the lower end of
which is directly over the moving string of
beans. As the beans nass under the tube
each one receives a of light from an
electric bulb, which is focused upon it
through a double lens. When a discolored
bean comes into range the Ktenftnn cell
responds to the change in color, causing a
magnet to dose, thus raising a finger
which pushes the bad bean from the roll
ers, while the good beans pass on into a
bin and are then ready tat market.
