VIOLA DANA AT
COLISEUM TONIGHT
Delightful Viola Dana, the offer- j
vescent little actress, will be saen ;
•by local theatergoers in the stellar
role of "The Offshore Pirate," the
Metro production which comes to tha j
Coliseum Theater tonight and Wed
nesday. i,
In this unusual picture,“which was !
adapted from the story of F. Scott ‘
Fitzgerald, as published in the Sat-1
tirday Evening Post, Miss Dana has
a part that brings cut all her tin-!
usual gift. As Ardita Farnham, the |
girl who is stolen by a modern pirati
cal young man, she excels her pre
vious efforts.
The story tells of Ardita Farnam,
young, rich and beautiful, whose,
heart has gone to a scheming for-j
eigner who cleverly plots for her
money. Her relations realize what j
a rogue he is. but Ardita is adamant |
and Intends to marry him. In do- f
spair, they contrive a plan. Toby
Moreland, a happy-go-lucky young fel-I
low, boards Ardita’s yacht with a
handful of cut throats, and seizes j
the vessel. Out of this a romancei
springs—but unexpectedly and after '
thrilling happenings.
•Supporting Viola Dana is the fol
lowing excellent cast: Jack Hulhall, ■
as Toby Moreland; Edward Jobson,
as. Uncle John Farnam, and Edward
Cecil as Ivan Uevkova. the Russian.
Critics who have already seen the j
picture, hail it as a powerful ro
mance, standing far out of the or
dlnary run of pictures. It radiates i
life from the very outset until the!
last satisfying touches, and moves
as rapidly as the trim little yacht on
Which most of the action tran.spires.

DAIRYING SOURCE OF FARM WEALTH
AS PRODUCTION FIGURES INCREASE

THfc-_LOWlMO- W&R.D
OTTAWA, ONT.—Canada leads
the world in the per capita con
sumption of butler. Figures com
piled by the Department of Agri
culture show that each person in
Canada is credited with consuming
27 pounds of butter each year.
The United States ranks second
to Canada with an average per
capita consumption of 18 pounds
every year. The high pei capita
consumption of butter in Canada is
indicative of the general prosperity
prevalent throughout the Domin
ion. Sweden leads the world in the
consumption of milk r.nd Twitzer
land leads in cheeso eating, the
average for each person bem" 26
pounds a year.
The growth of dairying and but
ter making has been one of the
outstanding features of Canadian
agriculture in recent years. Canada
produced 122,776,580 pound, of bub
ter last year, valued at $45,803,082.
Saskatchewan which ten years ago
imported butter, exported 7,085,562
pounds last year.
The number of dairy factories in
Canada in 1020, according to the
latest government statistics, was
3,161, comprising 1,045 creameries,
1,683 cheese factories, 405 com
bined butter and cheese factories
and 28 condenseries.
The development of dairying has
been especially pronounced in the
western provinces. Alberta now
ranks third in all the Dominion in
dairy production and is followed
closely by Manitoba and Saskrtche
wan. The industry in the west is |
largely in the hands of small farm
ers who find their greatest success
in mixed farming, dairying and
livestock raising.
picture In which she has ever ap
peared. It Is based upon a perfectly
logical plot, which results in a lov
able, sensitive woman becom.ie a
bigamist.
The development of the story is
extremely dramatic and the variety
of locale from the north woods of
Canada to the tropics of Jamaica
should make it an extremely lavish
production scenically. The wholly
unexpected climax brings a highly
interesting story to a fine ending.
Two storms—one a blizzard of the
far north and the other a tropical
tornado—serve as the scenic back
ground for two of the emotional high
points in "Playthings of Destiny."
Quite appropriately the blizzard
serves to separate the woman and
the man she adores, while the tor
nado serves to bring assurance to j
her that he has always loved her.
In the staging of the storms Direc
tor Edwin Carewe accomplished a
realism that has caused favorable
comment even from others in the
same line who have striven for the1
same effects without the success
which Mr. Carew - has obtained.
"SEALED HEARTS" IS
COMING TO COLISEUM
Eugene O'Brien’s second starring
appearance in Selznick pictures will
bo in "Sealed Hearts,” which opens
at the Coliseum Thursday for only
two days. The picture is one of the i
most strongly dramatic treatments 01 j
the eternal triangle ever screened ,
anti the story gives Eugene O'Brien
a role full of opportunities.
In the picture is presented the un
usual situation of a father and a ,
youth—his adopted son—being In
love with the same woman the old
er man being the husband of the
woman, who is young and beautiful ;
On the screen is mirrored in com-,
polling fashion the subtle clash be-1
tween youth and age, and the final
victory of the law of Nature over j
the law of Man.
The picture was made undpr the j
direction of Kalph I nee and the < a-'
includes such notables as Robert j
Edeson and Lticile Doe Stewart, who I
will be remembered for her import ]
ant part in ‘The Perfect Lover," Eu

Why Druggists Recommend
Swamp-Root.
For many years druggists have
watched with much interest the re
markable record maintained by Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidney, liver and bladder medicino.
It iB a physician's prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening
medicine. It helps the kidneys, liver
and bladder do the work nature in
tended they should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test
of years. It is sold by all druggists
on its merit and it should help you.
No other kidney medicine has so
many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and
start treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test
this great preparation send ten
cents to Dr Kilmer & Co., Bing
hamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle.
When writing be sure and mention
• his paper. (advertisement.)
