A MILE-A-MINUTE PLAY
AT THE LIBERTY TONIGHT
“Big settings need not always be
used to tell a big story,” so says Clar
ence L. Brown, who directed Virginia
Valli in “The Signal Tower” tonight
at the Liberty theatre. Brown veered
from one extreme to another, when
completing “The Acquittal,” laid in
an elaborate court: scene and other gi
gantic settings, he took Miss Valli
and “The Signal Tower” company to
Fort Bragg, Cal., and played most of
the story in a portable signal tower
in the wilderness, a small cabin and
a kitchen.
Neither setting or cast are large.
Miss Valli, Wallace Beery, Dot Farley
and Rockliffe Fellowes fill the four
central roles. The story is a gripping
triangle that holds its audience thru
sheer force of interest.
“In a big story life ‘The Signal Tow
er,’ says Brown, “lavish scenery and
a great cast of famous players would
be superfluous, and might even de
tract from the interest of the central
theme. The way to make this story
show life is to play it as if it were
alive—and in real life a kitchen is a
kitchen—not a palace with a stove
in it.
“In other words there are times
when a story is too big to dress up
with scenery and sets. The same with
the characters. There are four out
standing figures: we obtained the
very best players possible for these
particular roles, and the result is a
simply-told story that is so gripping
Jthat even photographers on the set
followed it with breathless interest.
Perhaps this is a little unusual, but it
goes to show that after all, as Carl
Laepimle says. The story’s the thing.”
The diama is from Wadsworth
Camps prize story by the same name.
THRIFTY PLANS OF JAIL
BIRD NEARLY KILL WIFE
VITERBO, April-23—Reato Bottari
a Viterban laborer, recently devised
an original scheme to provide for
his wife, Nieolina, while he went
to jail to serve what he thought
would be a one-month sentence. With
her reluctant consent, he injected a
quantity of kersene into her veins,
hoping to make her mildly ill so that
she might live in a public hospital
during Ms incarceration.
That plan succeeded too well, in
that. Renato went Uj jail for a long
er stay than he had anticipated, and
his wife to a hospital where the doc
tors barely i-uccee-Ld in saving her
life.
I
ALL LOVE BANISHED FROM
SOVIET RUSSIA SAYS PROF.
WARSAW, April, 23.—Love has
been banished forever from Soviet
Russia according to Professor Tele
gin, well-known Russian psycholo
gist.
Writing in a leading Moscow paper
Telegin maintains that love, in the
old meaning of this world, the love
glorified throughout the ages by the
knights and poets, has completely
disappeared from Russia.
Love of the old type is nowr re
garded simply as a morbid condi
tion, he says. Sonnets, serenades,
and sentimental singing and sighing
for the fair sex belong to the past
in Russia, the youth of which re
gard love as a matter of second im
portance in everyday affairs, in which
boys and girls discuss sex problems
without any sentiment
The professor reveals that free
love has not bean a success in Rus
sia, however. According to him, So
viet Russia stands for a sober, mat
ter-of-fact marriage, devoid of any
infatuation, a marriage as easily con
tracted as divorced.
3,000-YEAR-OLD FLUTE
STILL PLAYS ITS TUNES
PHILADELPHIA, April 23.—Music
of three thousand years ago is brot
back here every time Professor Jean
R. Beck, of the University of Penn
sylvania, plays his small two-reed
flute.
The ancient flute was taken from
the tomb of a nobleman who lived
ages ago in Egypt, according to the
Professor, who bound the two reeds
together with catgut, dipped in pitch.
The reeds were in three parts at
the time the professor received them.
He is able to reproduce music played
many centuries ago. Air enters
through slits in the sides of the
reeds instead of at the ends, as in
modern instruments.
“Each note and its octave are
sounded equally loud at the same
time,” commented Professor Beck.
“I cannot explain this. It is the
only instrument I ever saw which
would do this.”
This instrument was played 3,000
years ago by a slave girl, said the
university professor. He has a pic
ture of a wall painting placed in the
tomb of Ounas, one of 'the Pharoahs,
who reigned in 1800 B. C., which
shows a slave girl playing a flute al
most identical with the one in his
collection.

FENCING MASTER INHERITS
FORTUNE IN BONDS
CAMBRIDGE, April 23.—Herr
Engle, noted j>oet, tutor, fencer, and
other athletic, will soon be missing
from Harvard Square.
For Engle, well known to hundreds
of Harvard students, has just learn
ed that he has inherited a fortune
in Frankfort municipal bonds.
These bonds, Engle believes, are
as good as gold, and he thinks they
will enable him to draw on the Ger
man Reichsbank for nearly six bil
lion marks when “the grated doors
of that Kyffhauser of power and re
nown shall swing open to a liberated
Germany.”
“Professor” Engle, as he has been
known to generations of Harvard
students, intends to keep up with
his studies and his fencing. He has
been a picturesque figure on Harvard
Square, with his Prussian imperial
j mustache, his pointed collar and, al
ways, his pipe and his walking stick.
The bonds inherited by the pro
fessor consist of large shares in the
gas works, the water works and the
municipal buildings of Frankfort.

has overhauled its vessels and looks
