J. AAmI I SAILOR’S POEM TELLS OF DEF1 OF SUB’S CREW WASHINGTON n. C., Jan. 9.— Knowledge that he courted death I within the iteel confines of the wrecked submarine S-4 was held by Walter Bishop of Washington, l.ulioman aboard it, but, like his comrades in peril, he was fas cinated by ‘‘life in a damned old sub.” Prophetic in its recital of the dangers braved aboard a “pig boat,” a jio5m written some time ago by Bishop has cotne to light ns a self-sunk requiem over those who went to their death with the S-4 off Provincetown. Entitled ‘‘Tile Submarine,” the poem fits particularly well into the story of the S-4 with its description of the close quarters of an under sea boat. One verse voices a mild chal lenge to naval regulations giving a $5 bonus to submarine men and an extra dollar for each dive of the ship. Opening with the observation that many “rave of battleships, spotless and clean," but that not much is Baid of “life on a sub marine,” the poem continues: In the cankerous mind of the devil There festered a fiendish scheme; v He called his cohorts around him And designed the submarine. They planned and plotted to do their worst. In perfecting this awful thing; And since completing their hid euo work Are awaiting what evil it will bring. The after battery is where we eat— That is, when we roll the least, While hanging on to keep our place. Like some prehensible beast. Most of us in the ba,ttery room Are closo to a lurking death; With the storage cells giving oil gas That smothers our ever) breath. The torpedo room is a deadlj spot.

EX “PERCH OF THE DEVIL” T NOW SHOWING, PALACE Three ‘leading men and two leading women, all entitled to fea ture roles in any picture, gra*»e the cast of “Perch of the Devil," King Baggott’s latest Universal production, at the Palace for the last two times tonight. The leading men are Pat O'Mal ley, star of many pictures, who;e recent work has heen in “The Midnight Sun,” "The Teaser,” “Watch Your Wife,” “My Old Dutch” and other pictures, Theo dore Von Eltz and Mario Carillo. Both of the latter huve played leads in many big productions. Mae Busch and Jane Winton are the leading women in the pro duction. Miss Busch plays the featured role of the story, and Miss Winton’s role Is of secondary rank In this particular picture, al though^ she usually heads any cast of which she is a member. The 'supporting cast includes, Lincoln Steadman, George Kn\va, Martha Franklin, Gertrude Oak man and others. “Perch of the Devil” is a screen version of the popular novel by the same name, and gives prom ise of becoming King Baggoc’1 most prominent production, al though he has directed such suc cesses as “Til* Home Maker,” “Tumbleweeds,” "Raffles'” and others. EX “MANNEQUINS” NOW SHOWING, COLISEUM “Mannequin,” the new Para mount photoplay, which made it3 debut last night at the Coliseum Theatre, stands out among the ^current screen productions for several reasons. To begin with. was produced by James Cruze, whose directorial stamp on a film is a guarantee of entertainment and technical perfection. Secondly, it was written by Fan nle Hurst, famous magazine writ er and novelist, and if any fur ther proof were needed of the story's superlative excellence, it is the fact that it won the $50,000 Liberty Magazine prize for the best original motion picture plot. Last but not least, Is the cast, which brings together a talented, group of film celebrities; featur ing Alice Joyce, Warner Baxter, ZaSu Pitts and Dolores Costello. Little wonder then, that tli 3

picture grips the attention from he opening flash in and holds it n a vise like grip to the final dra matic ending. No story of re cent years has contained more of poignant pathos and genuine hea>'t ippeal than this tale of a little ?irl of the New York slums, who patties her way through heavy pdds to love and happiness. And 10 picture of recent years has contained a climax that equals he murder trial scene in this production. It is an amazingly ense and spectacular episode with i surprise finish that will electrl :y the most Iplase picture-goer. “TIDES OF PASSION” V SAID TO BE A WINNER i "Tides of Passion." which opens it the Palace Theatre Tuesday, is a J. Stuart Blaekton production, presented under the Vitagraph banner. Mae Marsh is the sta'1, pnd that in itself would he suf ficient assurance that the picture is worth seeing. The promises do not stop there, however. “Tides of Passion” js an adaptation of Basil King’s well known novel, “In the Garden of Charity,” and the text has been closely followed in the picturiza tion. This means that there is no end of thrills, of action and of appealing romance. The greatest thrill conie3 whw two girls are marooned on a nar row^ ledgo of rock in the ocean and are rescued with extreme difficulty. Moments of suspense abound throughout the unrolling of the plot, and the photography, most of it of scenes on the rock Idiund ocean coast, is said to b remarkable. 7 LIONEL BARRYMORE IS AT COLISEUM TUESDAY In “Fifty-Fifty,” which comes to the Coliseum Theatre Tuesday for a two days' engagement, part of the action Is laid in the Apache den in Paris. Part of the action rails for one of the tough charac :ers to plunge a huge knife into i table between the fingers of one of the actor's hands, which is resting on the table. For this dangerous work Director Bergc iccured the services of Felix Riti ;ones, a Frenchman who is a knife thrower par excellence. How well he performed the hazardous teat, and how great was the cour lge of the actor, J. Moy Bennett, n permitting him to attempt it j may be realized when viewing the Mr. Bennett was seated beside the table with his hand lying palm down upon the table-top. Mr. Rincones, in the character o? the irate Apache, whose displeas are Mr. Bennett had incurred, ap proached with a most villainous looking knife, the blade of which was six inches in length. Raising his arm high above his should ir, he brought it swiftly down an.l the blade was deeply imbedded m the wood between Mr. Bennett's fingers; owing to some trouble with the lights, this bit of action had to be retaken four times, but Mr. Bennett Is a brave man an l uttered no word of complaint. The life of an actor is not all peaches, and cream. ..._ Z-?! j“MARE NOSTRUM” AT j.

HETTY NUT HALL GETS HIGH RATING _^_ HTTK NUTHALL Shooting up from eleventh place in a single year, “Bounding Betty,” young English rival of Helen Wills, is rated second only to the veteran Mrs. Godfree in Hamilton Price's’ ranking of English women tennis players, just announced. WIMBLEDON, Eng.. Jun. 9 Sixteen-year-oid Betty Nuthnll, Helen WIIIh’ foremost rival, ranks as the second best woman tennis player In England in the list compiled for 1927 by Hamilton Price, referee and recognized authority. Mrs. Kitty McKane Oodfree, fiery little veteran of Interna tional play, was given her cus tomary ranking at the top. The sudden rise of the youth ful Miss Nuthal! to a place among the world’s great players was reflected in her advance from eleventh to second in a single year. Miss Nuthall's showing in win ning the hard court champion ship of Great Britain and finish ing as runner-up to Misa Wills in the United States title event last fall was more spectacular, r but Mrs. Godfree still was ad judged slightly the better play er. She was handicapped by ill ness while In America. Mr. Price’s first dozen”: Mrs. Godfree. Miss Nuthall. Miss Joan Fry, Mrs. M. Watson. Miss P. Saunders, Miss Ellen Bennett. Mrs. B. C. Coveil. Miss E. H. Harvey. Mrs. John Hill, Mrs. McIIquham. Miss J. C. Kidley and Miss G. It. Sterry. Miss Sterry received a place In the list largely because she suc ceeded in winning a set from Miss Wills at Wimbledon. Six of the 12 players named. Including Mrs. Godfree, captain, and Miss Nuthall, were members of the English Wightman cup team which lost In a match with an American team headed by Miss Wills at Forest Hills, N. Y., last summer.

I i j t r f, Above New York’* tumult, atop tbe 'Grand Central itation, is an unusual art gallery, founded by Walter t. Clark (right). Its pur pose is to aid American artists, And only their work is displayed. It pays its own expenses, and seeks no profit. Above is a scene in one of its rooms. NEW YORK. Jan. 9—In tho heart of New York, over the greatest network of railroad tracks In the world, there are 15 quiet room where the noise does not penetrate, and where the clty’B rare gleams of sun man age to sneak down between the buildings and through the sky lights The- vast rooms are the Orand Central Art Galleries, perched atop the block-wide Grand Cen tral-station—In the very middle of the city, yet Btrangely aloof from the noises of the city. The galleries grew from the dream of a business man, to (111 a long-felt want among artists. They are non-proflt making, but self-supporting. Walter L. Clark, was the busi ness man, a prominent New York englner, whose theories of busi ness applied to American art founded and developed the gal leries. He obtained the financial support of other wealthy men imd women, discovered the rat infested attic of the Grand Cen tral, and won the help of the New York Central railroad in renovating the space. “The galleries,” explained Mr. Clark, “are financed by approxi mately 1,50 Influential American eltisen8 and are under the direc tion of seven nationally known business executives. The idea is to operate this organization at no profit to any one except the artist and yet to manage it on a busi ness basis.” Only livirig American artists may take membership in the galleries, and a selecting board of artists nominates and votes upon the works to be exhibited. A sales organization takes' care of the selling with a margin of profit to provide for the cost of upkeep. ,The 150 lay members contri bute $600 a year for three years, apd the 150 artist members con tribute a work of art a year for tl^ee years. At the annual draw ing epch lay member Is entitled tp aeleet one of th^ artists’s con trtbutiens, and In many Instances thp donors secure masterpieces which would sell for well over »i.«oo. ,Jn Its promotion of American art, the organization sends ex hibits to all parts of the country, aqompanled by a salesman well equipped with a knowledge of art and modern artists.

The Horseshoe Falls at Niagara (above) are wearing away at the rate of about five feet a year. While the river bed is hart limestone, softer materials supporting it ,as shown in sketch at right, wear away. Geologists estimate that the falls have won back seven miles since they were formed 25,000 years ago, as indi cated in map (center). Experts are seeking to halt the erosion a mortar, aiding in the disinte gration ot tlt.e lower shales. Long, long ago—geologists say it may have been 25,000 years— the melting ice sheets ot (h? glacier retreated below the crest of the Niagara escarpment, which marks the edge of the Lake On tario basin. Several glacial lakes began to discharge through a stream across the Huron Plain into Lake Iroquois, prehistoric an cestor of Ontario. This river, now known as Niagara, plunged over the escarpment and the cataract was born. Its birthplace, however, was seven miles from its present lo cation. While the ages trooped by, Niagara slowly retreated to ward Lake Erie, carving as it went the mighty gorge that at tracts tourists. In 1842 New York State became interested in the retreat and made a surrey. At that time the line of Horseshoe Fall was only slight ly curved, but it has since worn away until a deep gorge has ip peered In the brink where the greatest volume of water tumbles into the basin, 1S8 feet below.
