New York and -then last season in the "Artists and Models" production Coming from a long line of mu sical ancestors, several of whicb gained world recognition, Miss Viz orka has been endowed with a true sense of artistry as well as a beau tiful voice. Eastern critics have given her credit for possessing a remarkable voice. She can not only take the high notes customary for well trained sopranos, but is able to descend several" tones lowei than is usual, taking them with perfect intonation. In the "Dance Paintings" idea Miss Vizorka sings the song interludes between the various scenes of the dance, giving her an opportunity to display her voice in a wide variety of songs. : Annt" fiaa Wn fnnnii Ifvfn In f Missouri town. .4 When Interviewed by the reporter he explained it like this. "Yon see." he said, "I had received niformatioa that after- j noon that my wife had run away Citr. Later I found out it was all a lie." With this sole exception,' "Charlie's Aunt" has caused an epidemic of aching sld.es in near ly every community in this broad land. On the stage xr on the screen, the result has been the same shrieks,, howls, gales of laughter. All of which is preliminary to the report that the Singer Stock Co. which will play the piece at the Oregon Sunday and - Monday has received a genuine ovation in southern Oregon towns this week Glenn 8inger called up last night from V.nrn with thtt Information that there had been seventeen! laueh prostrations In theatres where they played this week.

The story of this picture calls for an explosion to fill with rock the mouth of a canyon from whicb the hero has just been driven by bandits. In order to make thit tcene realistic, the director planted seven huge Charges of dynamite in the entrance to the arroya and de . tcrmined to obtain a close shot of the blast. Taking with him a cameraman, Bradbury descended into the can yon and established himself in a position, thought to be safe and yet dangerously near the scene of the blast. At a signal, all seven charges were fired at once, and a perfect hailstorm of rocks as large as a man's head began to rain up on the director and his assistant. ' Like soldiers unaei shey fire, the two -were forced to "dig In' for protection.
