Bud BryoHT Brainstorms ' r - rl ARCADE "The Revolt," Strong World Picture A life of luxury, with swell gowns and brilliant jewels or a modest lit tle home and a babe? Which would you choose. That is the question put up to Francis Nelson in "The Re volt." Needless to say, she chooses the latter, and can you blame her when the "he" i3 Arthur Ashley? But that was only the beginning of their troubles. Anna, eg she is called in the picture, had a stepmother, one with a lax code of morals, and who would rather see her stepdaughter magnificently gowned and the pet of some none too scrupulous individual than in the arms of a home-loving and honest man. This is not a play of the usual triangle variety, but one I with unusually original denouement It is a Brady-Made (World Picture. and will be the attraction at the Ar cade theatre on Sunday.

Ob-8-7-tf DID YOU KNOW THAT Two hundred and twenty-three thou sand feet of celluloid or forty-two miles of film, were taken for William Fox' "A Daughter of the Gods" which comes to Sherry's theatre April 28 and 29. Twelve hundred women were em ployed in Jamaica to make the mag nificent costumes in "A Daughter of the Gods?" Annette Kellcrmann, star of "A Daughter of the Gods" and the great est water sprite of the century, is a native of Australia? Twenty thousand persons appear in many of, the stupendous scenes of William Fox' million dollar picture? A hundred photoplaycrs and a large staff of technical experts spent eleven months in Jamaica making "A Daughter of the Gods?" The weekly payroll was $22,000. Shipbuilders were brought from Egypt to construct the curiously fan tastic Byzantine vessels which are in "A Daughter of the Gods?" The erection of the giganitc Moor ish city on the ruins of Fort Augusta required one-third of the huge sum which William Fox expended on "A Daughter of the Gods?" In 1900 William Fox, who spent an unparullclcd amount of money for a silent drama production, had just 075 in the bank?

Most of the terribly busy gnomes in "A Daughter of the Gods" are in reality, little "black boys" from the West Indies ? More than a thousand tons of prop erties and costumes were sent from the United States to Fort Augusta, where William Fox' million dollar Kel lermann spectacle was screened? Every scene in "A Daughter of the Gods" was photograped by .at" least four cameras; some scenes by seven. -B E 3 F 1 1 lH IT ?

(To the editor) I note by the evening paper that it is recommended that an ordinance be passed placing cats on the same basis as dogs, end making them wear bells suspended from their necks to protect the birds and prevent disease. Just what disease will the tax and bell prevent and how are the rats, mice and moles to be disposed of? Certainly not by the cat that wears the bell. Signed One who does not own a cat but who does own a home which she does not wish infested by filthy rats ana mice. Bird Hcuse Contest. Tho 'Bird House contest has been extended until tho first of May be cause of the late spring, a number of the contestants petitioned the judges to extend the contest so that - they could go out in the woods for their materials.
