SESSUE HAYAKAWA
AT COLISEUM TONIGHT
"The Beggar Prince," in which
Stymie Hayakawa will be seen at the
Coliseum Theater tonight, opening an
engagement of two days, teaches the
lesson of ibrotherly love, through a
setting and story as simple as it is
human and appealing. This Robert
son-Cole Superior picture, which was
'Produced by Haworth with William
WoilthingtJon as director, is laid in a
fanciful far-ciff land, where life re
minds one of days long past.
The themo relates to the strange
awident which allows a poor fisher
man, who loves his fellow men, to
occupy the throne of a proud and
egotistlcail prince. While he Is hold
ing this exalted position the fisher
J
man not only makes a kindly and
Just ruler for the people, but teaches
Ithe prince to look at his people in
a much more loving and favorable
way. When he goes back to his
throne it 'is with opened eyes, and a
much more tolerant viewpoint.
T'he setting for the story is a ftshei
village dotwn by the sea. above which
is the palace of the prince. Directoi
■Worthington, and hia aids, built th«
village, and a lovely part of the Pa
cific Coast formed the natural back
gTound. One of the striking scene
shows the throne room of the prince
Interpretative dancers from Deni
shawn, the pupils of the famous Rutl
St. .Denis and Ted Shawn, aid in th<
picture, introducing a series of Ori
ental dances.
Hayakawa plays both the princs
and the poor fishorman. Ho is sup
ported in this role by Beatrice L
I'lante, who has the part of the fish
erman's sweetheart, 'by Thelma Percy
as Sos^d. daughter at the wicket
prime minister in love with thi
prince; 'by Bert- Hadley as the gram
visier, and by Robert Bolder, Josepl
Swickard and Buddy Post in sup
porting part3.
E. Richard Schayer, who wroti
“The Tong Man" continuity and thost
of other recent Hayakawa picture*
is t'he author of “The Beggar Prince.’
CHA8. RAY AT
PALACE TONIGHT
There Is an especially excitinf
chaso In Charles Ray's latest .picture
“Gas, Oil and Water,” in which auta
mobiles, airships and motorcycles an
seen. The chase takes place In aom
df the moat wonderful country ii
California, oemi tropical and seml-des
ent scenery. It is lopped by an ex
y.'oston, a car tum'bllng over a stee]
cliff and a hair-raising rescue of SusJ;
by Charles Ray in the character o
George Oliver Watson.
The chaso abounds in real thrill
'and both Ray and Robert Grey tool
some big chances. During the takini
of those scenes, two automobiles war
put out of commission and one ca
tonally, jrifckgd and some time wa
wasted In searching for an auto which'
could duplicate the one destroyed.
As it -was an old-timer this was no
easy matter. It is a fitting climax to I
a photoplay in which mystery takes
a big place and in which the identity
of George Oliver Watson is not fully
solved until the last few scenes.

MANY SCIENCE LEADERS HAIL FROM INDIANA UNIVERSITY

With a record of 196 scientific
discoveries in its department of
chemistry alone, with similar
achievements in other departments,
and ae the alma mater of 28 of
the most distinguished living sci
entists of America, Indiana univer
sity holds r. high place among
American institutions in the field
of scientific research.
I Her prestige in science dates
back 40 years to the time when
Professor Daniel Kirkwood worked
out new fundamental theories in
astronomy which were known as
“Kirkwood’s laws." Ther came
David Starr Jordan as president of
Indiana university, famous as a
naturalist and educato- Indiana
university's faculty now includes
seven men rated by the scientific

Men of Science," among the meat,

MISS NORMAND
IS WED, MAYBE
NEW YORK, Feb. 22.- "O-o-o-h, but
he's Brand. No, I won't tell who'
ho is er what ho Is. O-o-o-h, but lie's
Brand." Aiad Mabel Norni.md, viva
cious screen comedian. h-URRed the
two nearest of the reporters t-> whom ,
gho was talking. ,
It happened when M;<s Normand
arrived hero from England on the
White Star Hurt- Baltic.
Miss Normand didn't intend t i tell ,
a soul about it. It was only when a !
newspaper man noticed a diamond j
studded platinum ring in her finger j
that the secret was out.
"Oh, l should have kept my giove (
on,” cried the blushing Mabel, “and |
then 1 would not have 1 : you fel- j
lows in on the secret."
Then Miss Normand dined on board |
the ship. When tho reporters rq*t
sinned their questioning, she said:
“Ah, I was only kidding. Gosh,.,
I'm so glad to be back home. I was
only fooling. I’m not married."
And then she chirruped, “Come on.1
cheer up, fellows; I'm so h.u-py over
being married I just hate to see you
looking like funerals.”
Then followed felicitations and de
nials, the last being a nvaeping de
ntal that she was married. But fellow
passengers were sure she had married
a wealthy, middle-aged American in
London early in December, so that's
that.
