IRISH DESCENDED
FROM ESKIMOS
SCIENTIST TELLS IRISHMEN OF
THEIR FOREFATHERS
DUBLIN, Dec. 15.—Irishmen are des
cended from Eskimos.
Not all Irishmen are so descended,
said Dr. Polorny, professor of Celtic
philology in Berlin university, in an
address here, but in certain out-of
the-way parts of Ireland—and Scot
land also—are to be found groups of
people whose features proclaim them
unmistakably of the Mongol type.
As such, he said, this strain could
only have been connected with the
Eskimos.
Moreover, there were many things
pointing to the sociological connec
tion between the Arctic culture and
the early Irish culture. The subter
ranean dwellings in Ireland, for in
stance, he declared, has exactly the
same ground plan as the snow houses
of the Eskimos of today.
BIG LILLIAN GISH
FILM, THE WHITE
SISTER, IS HERE
SPECIAL PICTURE FILMED IN
ITALY WILL BE SHOWN
FIRST TIME TONIGHT
j “The White Sister,” the greatest tri
umph of Lillian Gish’s career, will have
its premiere at The Liberty Theatre
tonight. This has been acclaimed one
of the most significant films ever
made. The story was taken from the
famous novel by F. Marion Crawford
and screened entirely in Italy and
northern Africa.
Rome, Naples, Sorrento, Tivoli and
even Mt. Vesuvius were some of the
locations used and the result accord
ing to critics in the larger cities where
the picture has played as a two-dollar
attraction is the most beautiful pro
duction yet made.
Besides Miss Gish to interpret the
thrilling story, the cast includes Ron
ald Colman, a newcomer to the screen
who has scored a sensational success;
J. 3arney Sherry, a motion picture
pioneer; Gail Kane, heroine of many
Broadway successes and a thousand
others drawn from the ranks of Euro
pean players.
“The White Sister” tells the story
of Angela Chairmonte, a daughter of
an Italian prince, who is made penni
less because of an intrigue of her old
er sister. The only thing left to sus
tain her is her love for Captain Gio
vanni Severi, of the Italian army.
For a time she is happy, but he is
called to Africa on a military expedi
tion and Angela is left to take up
the life of a governess. Then she re- ]

ceives wora mat ne nas Deen Killed
by the Arabs. Stunned by the blow
Angela is driven frantic and in order
to find some peace of mind and a defi
nite place in life, she takes the vows
as a nun.
Shortly after this Giovanni, who has
merely been held prisoner by Arabs,
escapes and returns to Rome. How
Sister Angela solves the problem of
choosing between her great earthly
l^ve and her heavenly vows supplies
the dramatic situation that leads up
tOj the powerful climax.
