LILLY OF THE DUST IS
POLA’S LATEST PARAMOUNT
Who was the beautiful woman who
smiled bravely while her stern-looking
husband, clad in the uniform of an
officer of high rank, slowly closed his
fingers in vice-like grip over her bare
arm?
Diners crowding the tables of a fash
ionable cafe in a European city who
witnessed this little act of cruelty ex
hausted their imaginations in specula
tion concerning the identity of the
pair. When a woman, superb in a
gown of blacR' velvet, rose from the
table, all eyes followed her as she
swept from the room.
The scene occurs in Lilly of the
Dust, Pola Negri’s latest starring pic
ture for Paramount produced by Dimi
tri Buchowetzki, and at the Liberty
Theater tonight.
Pola plays the role of the wife, and
Noah Beery that of the officer. The
story which lies behind this little
tragedy in the dining room is one of
the most dramatic and fascinating
which has ever been made into a mo
tion picture film.
Heading the strong cast playing in
support of the star are Ben Lyon,
Beery, and Raymond Griffith. Others
are William J. Kelly and Jeanette
Daudet. Paul Bern wrote the screen
play.
SOUTHWEST’S LIQUOR COMING
FROM BOUNDARY AND STILLS
DALLIS, Nov. 17. (JP)—Home brew
ers in the cities, corn whisky dis
tillers in the timber lands of East
Texas, and a liquid trickle across the
Texas-Louisiana boundary from the
wet spots of New Orleans, are at
present the chief sources of hard
liquor for Texans.
The Mexican border and the gulf
coast have become negligible factors
in the forbidden industry, say en
forcement officials of three arms of
the Federal service fighting the pro
hibition battle in this part of the
world.
Most of the liquor entering the
state now is coming overland from
New Orleans, the fairly effective
coast and border blockade shutting
off thesupply from Mexico and the
gulf. T^iquilla, theMeXican drink,
in late inonths has increased from
$4 a gallon to $12 at an Antonio, in
dicating ’a scarcity in that quarter.
Since the prohibition raids in New
' Orleans last August, however, the
supply from this source again has di
minished, thep rices of New Orleans
whisky doubling in this state. Be
fore the raids New Orleans whisky
sold at $6 a quart in half case lots.
Today the price is about $12 a quart.
The sale of Jamaica Ginger, or
“Jake” as the trade calls it, is re
ported to have increased enormously
in Northwest Texas lately, and this
is interpreted by enforcement of
ficials as a sign that real liquor is
scarce. The consumption of “Jake”’
which is tincture of ginger and about
96 per cent alcohol, has increased 10
fold since prohibition became a law.
Officials report that before prohibi
tion a gallon would have last Fort
Worth a month. These officials
have no control over the sale of tbis
article.
Frank Cole, assistant state prohibi
tion administrator, said the East Tex
as woods “are full of stills,” operat
ed by farmers principally for home
consumption. Tihey work almost un
molested because the swampy country
makes it difficut to locate them.
Liquor truck drivers are paid $75
a round trip from San Antonio to
New Orleans, the trip taking a
week.
The rum runners on the coast ap
parently have never recovered from
the seizure of three boats in 1923 in
which they lost upwards of .$1,000,
000. When successful in eluding the
guard, the runners can sel the stuff
for $25 to $30 a case over the ship’s
side.

the South Park board. More than
nine feet high, weighing nearly two
•tons, the anchor reposed in Santo
Domingo, Haiti, for nearly four cen
turies.
Presented to the exposition by Dr.
Alejandro Llenas of Puerto Rico,
Santo Domingo, the anchor has been
authenticated by many museum cur
ators. It was secured by Dr. Llenas
during his extensive research into
Columbus lore and relics in the West
Indies.
In the ruins of Navidad, 200 years
after its founding, was found an in
ventory by Columbus’ own hand.
“Anchor of the caravel,” was on the
faded pachment.
Relics of the early voyages of Co
lumbus remained in the West Indies.
In La Rabido, a convent on the rocky
coast of Spain, many of these memen
toes of the great navigator have been
collected into what is considered the
greatest exhibit of Columbiana in the
world.
Although the Columbian exhibit of
the historical society includes many
facsimiles of originals now in the
hands of the Royal Society of Spain,
or .n i.ht convent La Rabida, there
are *!•*•'&’. writings « Q *: Land,

abella, solemnized by the ponderous
seal of Spain are recorded on parch
ment fragments. Cardinal Ximenes
of the late 15th century has given
his hand to a document ciiiained in
the collecCon. Others are by the
T. espucci, xamily u' Amerigv Vesputi
us, a strong claimant for the honor
of having found the New Land.
An original of Gunther’s book, “Cos
mography,” printed in Latin, the first
book on record using the name ‘Am- t
erica,” has just come to the collec
tion. Bits of horseshoes, stirrups,
mailed shoes and other trappings
worn by the “grand Caballeros,” of
the early 16th century, West Indies,
are among the exhibits. The first
bell to peal forth in the New World,
the Isabella Bell, is a valued part
| of the collection.
