"Author Franklin has illustrated His interesting text with more than 400 photographs, many of which will be recognizable to film fans of the silent days. This is What the author calls 'a rough history of the silent films as seen through the films that were the; greatest artistic triumphs or the greatest box office triumphs." e book starts with 'The eat Train Rol 1903," feh was "almost accidentally good film." It has been called first story film, which it 't, and the first feature film f nine minutes it was hardly hat). Produced for the Edison eompany, it was practically a onesman show. Edwin S.

ON VALENTINO «Phere is an interesting chap-| on Rudolph Valentino who is| scribed by the author as a 'good' actor if not a great" one. He was the symbol of Sfamor and romance on the silent screen just as Chaplain repre- sented laughter and Fairbanks fomance. His full Italian name was Rudolfo Alfonzo Faffaelo Pierre Filibert Guglielmi di Val- entino d'Antonguolla. Initially he had no acting plans at all when 'hé arrived in New York in 1913 at the age of 18. He drifted aim- dessly from job to job, with gar- "dening his most successful ven- ture. But loving dancing, he fre- quented the casinos, and was soon a good enough performer to be invited to be a performer Conservation Plan Delay Criticized GALT (CP)--Representatives of 15 Ontario conservation author- ities called on the provincial gov- ernment Monday to end delays in approving conservation schemes. At a special meeting called here, the representatives voted to ask the government to revise the method of approving schemes at the treasury board and order-in- council levels. J. G. Smith, chairman of the Big Creek conservation authority, said under the present system conservation authorities are 'liv- ing in hope their projects would be approved." Schemes submitted to the prov- ince are first approved by the minister of planning and develop- ment, then approved by the treas- ury board and made final by an order in council. Sometimes a de- lay of eight months or a year is caused, he said. Dr. G. Ross Lord, chairman of the Metropolitan Toronto and re- gion conservation authority, said planning boards have a tremend- ous responsibility to assist con- servation authorities acquire 'flood-plain lands. He said flood-plain land should 'be zoned as a green belt. CRITICIZE HOMES TORONTO (CP) -- A two-year study of Metropolitan Toronto's 13 children's homes by the Child Welfare League of America has resulted in charges that the in- stitutions have serious defects and the recommendation that one vbe closed immediately. The re- port says too many children in e city live in Institutions, too many have lived there for too rather than a customer at the famous Maxim's. For one hour, he was booked to replace Clifton Webb, and while on this tour SIL-| he went to Hollywood. There was no overnight stardom for him, He then made 'The Four Horse- men of the Apocalypse" and "The Shiek,"" the latter film bringing him to the forefront with great speed. This is a book to be read and treasured, It is also ome that deserves wide popularity be- cause of its great historical value. In its second section the book presents a gallery of 75 great stars and analyzes the spe- cial appeal of each of them. INSIDE RUSSIA The famous General Peter N. Krasnov, before going to the gal lows spoke the following words to his grandson in 1945 "If you ever come out alive from this hell, tell the West the whole truth, without coloring, without exaggeration; tell them of the suffering of the Russian people. Try to see, hear and re- member everything." For thé young Krasnov it was the beginning of his sacred mis- sion; to reveal to the world what no journalist, no tourist to Soviet Russia has ever seen or heard. The name of his book is THE HIDDEN RUSSIA; MY TEN| YEARS AS A SLAVE LABOR-| ER" (George J. McLeod Co. | Ltd.). The author is the son of| counter - revolutionist parents. | Nikolai Krasnov, Jr., was taken| to Yugoslavia as an infant. There | from the militia academy and, with the invasion of Hitler, fought valiantly against the Nazis. With the surrender of Yugoslavia, Krasnov became a prisoner of war in Germany. When Soviet prisoners mobilized tank divisions to fight Stalin, Krasnov led a tank brigade into Russian terri- Industrials Boosted Trading TORONTO (CP) -- Industrials boosted stock market trading Monday to its highest point since mid-January.

When peace was ultimately declared, he and thousands of his fellow prisoners were turned over to the Soviet government by Brit. ish officers under the terms of the Yalta Agreement To Kras- nov and other Russian emigres, who hated the Communist re- gime, this came as a shocking betrayal. The author's term as a slave laborer for the MVD had started. This is a beautifully, written account of Krasnov's suf- fering. This is a documentary proof that it is not as safe in Mr. Khrushchev's Russia as the Kremlin propagandists would have us think. He tells of the horrors and countless tortures he endured and witnessed in prison labor camps. He also tells of fatal policy mistakes made by the west. His dream of entering the U.S. never came true. His dream of seeing this book published in English never came true. He died in November of 1959, while on a | stage during the first perform- {ance of a Russian theatre group in Buenos Aires, Argentina. 'The Hidden Russia" is a Unique legacy, an everlasting monument to his "beloved and | martyred Russian people." It is * Gor.
