“THE STORM" IS
POWERFUL PHOTOPLAY
Something new in eternal triangle
situations is rqvoalel in “The Storm.”
the ipOwerful Universal-Jewel attrac
tion, which had its local premier at
tba 'Palace Theater last night- It
'Will 1)0 recalled that the' stage version
of Lingdon McCormick's play took,
Now York off its feet, and was wildly
acclaimed as one of the dramatic
evonts of a dec a do.
Repleto with dynamic situations,
(powerful climax and anti-climax, mar-j
▼elous -scenicaHy altd perfectly acted,!
“Tlje Storm" irises to hitherto un-'
reached heights in the film world and
sets a targot for producers to aim
at for many moons.
“The Storm” 'is a story of two
men and a woman snowbound in the
fa9tnoss of far north mountains for
four -months. Onto cf the men hates
women because he had never met

open foar. The other knows the
aex from scores of affairs in Lon
don. He has hidden himself away
In the mountains to escape all wo
men. But within a week both men
decide this particular girl la the most
desirable person in the world.
Out'of this sfrange triangular situ
*tloiy<smcrge3 the primitivo passions
of the trio. The veneor is stripped
away and they appoar in their true
colors. The sweetness of the wo
man's na-ture is unable to overcome
ttoe hatred the one time friends feel
for each other. The roles are diPM-1
cult of interpretation and too great j
'praise cannot bo accorded House]
Peters, iwho iplav3 the role of Burr,
frontiersman, in a manner that leaves
nothing to ibo desired. Virginia Valii
and Matt Moore, tho other two
angles, likewise deserve the highest
praise. It will remain at the Palace

CHORDS GIRL FEATURE
AT COLISEUM SATURDAY
\Jihcn a chorus girl marries the son
of an aristocratic family, everybody
predicts calamity. And the family
In question is usually willing to helj
the calamity along. Had she made a
lucky marriage, Flo wondered miser
ably, as the months dragged along
and she encountered nothing save
veiled insults and covert hostility
from her in-la ws? Then suddenly
tho tiny flicker of suspicion they had
started in her husband's mind bursl
into hot and angry flames—there was
a night of weird melodrama, crue:
accusations she could never forget
uttered by the man she loved, and
another man lay dead at their feet
Only in grim tragedy did that proud
and snobbish family resize that ti
was their boy, not the Fchorus girl
who had married tho true aristocrat
one >w*ho was noble by Instinct.
This ail comes out in “Out of tin
Chorus,” featuring Alice Brady, at th<
Coliseum Saturday night only.

“Hail the Woman” is not the re-r
suit of a sudden desperate ofi'ort to

I meats into “Had the Woman.”
Thus it is 'that Mr. Ince feeis se
cure in staking his rt putation on
/•Hall the Woman" as the bigger and
j bettor picture the public lwu been
I hungering for. That is what he
! means when he says: “This produc

audience requirements.”
Moving in an atmosphere that is
beautiful for its simplicity and hon
esty. tho story is presontod an lit 1

j DUCHY OF LUXEMBURG
TO HAVE ARMY OF 500
—
.BRUSSELS, May 11.—The "Journal
d'Eseh" announces that the Fraud
Duchy of Luxemburg is about to
recognise its army. It is no longer
to bo regarded as a joke and treated
as a pretext for arraying a baker's
dozen of good looking men In pictur
esque uniforms so that they make a
bit. of a show when the army is mus
tered for ceremonial occasions.
But it will cause no trembling
among foreign potentates. The whole
army will consist of only about 500
men, but they will he real soldiers
and -equipped as such. When the
baby -Grand -Duchess Was" born re
cently, the necessary salute to her
ald the new arrival was fired with
guns that had to be borrowed from
France. The new army will at least
save the Duchy from a repetition of
that humiliation- Every soldier will
be given a gun and will be taught
haw' to handle it.
By the new organization, the sol
diers will serve four years, and a re
serve of 1,400 will be formed.

ALASKA COD IS COOD BUT IT IS
' NEGLECTED SAYS FRISCO WRITER
By a EDWARD WILLIAMS,
In San Francisco Bulletin.
Tboro Is an excellent fish that is
■ommon in our markets, which, it
icoms to mo, has no' been appraised
vt its time value. It is sometimes
jailed (black cod and sometimes Al
iska cod. Whan I first made the
vcquaiintance of this fish I could not
joe in which respect lie resembled
the oti! family, which are all dry
moated fish, carrying their fat in the
liver, while too black cod is as fat
as a salmon. The fact of the mat
tor is that he 13 not a cod at all.
ind his proper .appellation Is sable
:ish. (but your fish dealer is ver;
ipt to call him a (black cod.
,Tlii© sable fish can tie cooked ii
liany different ways, and will bt
iound the equal of salmon or ballbu
n. any way you cook him. First wi
vlll prepare a boiled able fish ana
iso several styles of sauce with it.
To get the best results with any
’rash fish when (boiling, it is well t
lirst prepare a court bouillon, whlci
a very simple. Pul a pot on the fir*
with two quarts of water in it
Squeeze in the Juice of two lemon?
ind then drop in the lemon rinds ]
Add one rounded tablespoon of salt
inlf a dozen whole cloves, a sliced 1
>nion, half a bunfch of parsley, a tea
spoon of whole peppors, two or three
jay leaves and four or five stalks of
eiery. Half a cop of vinegar may he
tsel instoad of tho lemon- Bring
o a boil and let simmer for 15 min
ite3 and strain.
Have the sable fish sliced cross
wise. Have the court bouillon boil
ng hot, drop in tho slices of fish
>»o at a timo in quick succession.
Keep the pot on a hot tiro to quickly
jring the bouillon to a boil again
iftor the fioh hr.3 been dropped in.
As soon as it Is boiling In good :
ihape. movo tho pot bhek where it. ,
will Just ^ymmor along ami let cookj]
!or 10 or minutes.
It is important to drop the fish Into' ;
,ho boiling water and to see that the ]
water comoa quickly to a boil again
ifter the fish has 'boon put in, as in
■his way tho hfeat 'will cook the out
side of the slices quickly and prevent
ho loss of that valuable milky fluid
which with slower cooking would i,
iloat away in tho water instoad of
coagulating botwocn tho tissues of
,ho fish.
Sable fish a la Normandy: As it
[s not at all likely that the family
citchon will ipossco3 anything In tho ,
way of mother sauce3, wo will put i
up this dish a little differently than)
would be done in a firs*-class hotel, i
much tho same finished product.
Strain off a pint of tiro bouillon in j,
which tho fish iwas boiled. Heat a(
pint ©f milk. Take half a dozen
Crush oysters and cut them up a little,
making about four'11piace3 of each
oyster if they are large. Put the
oysters on tho slovo in a small
saucepan and (bring to a boil. Don't 1
Allow to be!! violently, Just bubble
along for a couple of minutes, when
there will be a scum form on the
liquor. Skim off tho scum.
Make a roux of (four ounces of
butter and a alight half cup of flour
ind -work in alternately tho hot milk
ud tho strained fish bouillon and
then add the oystord with their
liquor- Separate three eggs and add
a tablespoon of lemon juice to the
yolks, beat up und s'tir into the
sauce. Salt to taste and pour over
the boiled fish. This sauce is good
with almost any kind of boiled fish.
For two or throo people this recipe
should be divided. Fresh clams may
bo substituted for the oysters.

CHICAGO. May 11—Mrs. Ida
j Campbell offered novel reasons j
] in asking the Board of Assessors
’ to reduce the $*30 tax bill on
her property, which she referred
to as a "one-horse rooming I
house—four rooms In all.”
Mrs. 'Campbell declared the j
tax laws were “Written In Noah’s j I
ark,” that she had worked side |
by side with street cleaners, j
' although the city had presented
her with a dump on her lot;
1 that she “never has kept a dog.

nature provided.” and finally
that she was responsible for low- j
