ALL SCREEN TEARS ARE NOT GLYCERINE Tearful Music Helps Those Capable of Real Emotion to Produce Desired Result Hollywood, Cal, Dec. 29--Screen actresses find that they can cry na- turally without resorting to glycerine, a peeled onion, ammonia. or smelling salts. The tear-making articles, once im- portant items in the motion picture property man's paraphernalia, there- fore have been displaced at most stu- dios by lacrimose music. Eleanor Boardman maintains that real tears may be produced if the ac- tress plays her part thoroughly and feels the poignancy of the situation. "However," Miss Boardman says, "just so many tears can be cried. The tear ducts run dry after a while no matter how much emotion you have, so I work myself up just to the point of tears and allow them to come when it is time to shoot. I remember once that I cried during the time the lights and cameras were being arranged and by the time everything was ready couldn't weep another tear." Joan Crawford, before a f scene starts, sits in a corner with ler head in her hands listening to soft, sad music. Marceline Day has no trouble at all crying. In fact, her directors say, it is much more diffi- cult for her to laugh than to weep. When Mae Murray weeps she says che feels as grief stricken as though her screen woes were real. She adds that sometimes it takes her an hour to recover from a strong emotional CONCERT ARTISTS MYSTERIOUSLY ILL tearful Paris, Dec. 30.--Police today were investigating a mysterious illness that overcame several American con cert artists in a small hall in the Latin quarter Monday night. Beveridge Webster, of Towa, a pianist, and Samuel Dushkin, of New York, a violinist, fainted on the stage. Blair Fairchild, a composer, Florence Heywood, author and lec- turer, formerly of Palo Alto, Cali- fornia, Junius Morgan and Dwight Prouty collapsed as they were leav- ing the hall. None in the audience was affect- ed. TURKISH WOMEN TO BE EDUCATED Constantinople, Dec. 30. -- The Turkish Governraent, as; part of its modernizing campaign, intends to open nation wide public schools for women where it is estimated 98 par cent of women illiterates will receive compulsory instruction in their A. B. C.'s and in hygiene. Even thousands of the nomad women of the Eastern Provinces must attend the schools. The Minister of Instruction, in making known the ordems,"declared that respect for women is the sacred duty of civilized countries and that nations which undervalue women as a social factor, cannot advance from SNe oA ALBERT ST. CHURCH ENTERTAINMENT Christmas Concert Takes the Form of Canata, "Santa's Parcel Post" The annual Christmas Tree en- tertainment of the Sunday School of the Albert street United Church took the form of a cantata entitled "Santa's Parcel Post." It was under the direction of Miss Vida Lang- maid, who spared neither time nor personal effort to make it a success. She was assisted by Miss Strickland who presided at the piano and to their efforts must be attributed the success of the splendid entertain- ment which was remarkably well rendered, each person, acting so well the part taken by them that it would be impossible to say who did best. The choruses by the "tiny tots" and the training of Mrs. Ayers and Mrs. Whattam were a delight to all, and their sweet little faces reflect- ing the joy and happiness of the Christmastide, made a beautiful scene. The solos by Misses Lang- waid, Simpson and Hulbert were well rendered and much appreciated by all. The Fairy Queen and her attending elfs were lovely glistening in silver and white, and they seemed to radiate the true mysterious spirit of Christmas with their "imaginary telephone" by which they sent and received messages and by means of which they were iaformed of the spirit in which the gifts were re- ceived by those to, whom they were sent. The boys all did exceptionally well. Santa looked the part to per- fection in his red and white robes. He acted his part so naturally it must have been the really truly Santa they talk so much about. Laughina,. Santa's parcel post boy, who was always imploring San- ta to remember, "I'm out there under the seat," was funny and al- though he made many mistakes it turned out all for the best after all just as mistakes in real life often do. It really did one good to see the vim the boys put in this chorus, and the real happiness they got out of it was an inspiration to others so everybody was happy together. The way Norman Williams sang the tongue-twisting chorus of his solo was a marvel to all. : The "What's 'at?" jolly group who were kept busy squawking "What's 'at? What's 'at? 'Mrs. Rainbow with her Fairy Picture Painters were charming in- deed and each fairy learned to paint a beautiful picture each illustrating some part of the beloved Christmas story. i Sammy Jones to whom Lauhina delivered a parcel intended for Sam- my Winters represented those who think only of the value of the gift forgetting' the love that prompte the gift and so do not appreciate the things sent in love to them. Club were a Sue, the little news girl revealed | to all the true spirit of Christmas (Loving and Giving) of receiving with thankfulness the gift sent in love and sharing with others the joy brought into her life by giving again to others in need, thus illus- trating the old truth, "It is more blessed to give than receive." Ter- haps the twenty dollar bill pinned to the last page of the book she re- ceived making it possible for her to give to others was the real reason why she '"'enjoyed the last part bet- ter than the first." The final chorus was splendid and the different groups of actors made a beautiful and fitting ending to facts of real life fantastically told in real moving pictures. At the close of the entertainment Santa distri- buted to the throng of happy child- ren. The parcels with which the huge Christmas tree was laden (hope he made no mistakes) each child of the entire school being remembered so that 'each child returned home with a full pocket and a happy heart. Truly, Christmas is the happiest, gladdest time of all the year. RECEPTION AT BOARD OF TRADE President and Officers Will Receive Members on New Year's Eve Montreal, Dec. 30.--Members of. the Montreal Board of Trade will be the guests at noon on New Year's Eve of President Robert Starke and the offi- cers of the Board. Until a few years ago the Board celebrated the Christmas season with a Christmas tree and party. This year there will be no tree, but a musical program has been arranged in which well known singers, including Jimmy Rice are to take part. A jazz band will be present and preparations have been made for a thoroughly enjoyable meeting of the members.

The meeting was opened with a song service, with the president of the Whitby Young People's Union in the chair. When the opening exer- cises were completed, Miss Priest took charge of the meeting. She gave an inspiring talk on her work there. She had with her a number of very beautiful curios which she | explained at length to the gather- ing. The talk completed, final arrange- ments were made by the Oshawa Young People for the Watch Night gervice which they are holding with the Whitby Young People on New Year's Eve.

London, Dec. 30.--General Chang Tso OLD ARABIC BANDIT CITY TO BE EXCAVATED EXPEDITION PLANNED London, Dec. 29.--A modern "Aladdin," stumbling into a subter- ranean treasure house, has started a British expedition to excavate Petra, ancient Arabic bandit city, the Westminster Gazette will announce tomorrow. The British Museum already has examined treasure brought forth by a wandering Arab and found it genuine, the finds include gold ornaments and graven precious stones, with a cretan gold buckle of pre-historic times. Petra, lying between the Gulf of Akabah and the Deaa Sea, in the first and second centuries before Christ, was the seat of warlike Arabs who levied tribute on cara- vans and scul out galleys to de- spoil Egyptiac and Phoenig¢ian ships. It lies in a valley under per- pendicular sandstone cliffs, entered only by a cleft in the rock less than three feet wide. The Arab who found the treasure says he entered a cave in the valley wall and stepped on 'a stone which rolled under his weight, throwing Lin's determination to fight the Can- | tonese forces and his apparent backing | | by the Japanese is causing those here, | who are not in favor of 'Britain's!

Chany is opposed to the British memorandum and believes that the Cantonese are purely Bolsheviks. He wishes to retain the existing fore- ign treaties and is conyinced the Can- tonese will fail.

ALLEGE PLOT T0 DYNAMITE ABBEY London Papers Say West- minster Theatened on Christmas Eve London, Dec, 29. -- Some of the morning newspapers published sen- sational stories of the discovery of an alleged plot by unknown persons to dynamite Westminster Abbey on Christmas Eve. According to the accounts, the police received an anonymous tele- gram containing a threat against the Abbey, and the customary police guard was consequently increased without the public being aware of the fact. Officials of the Abbey say such threats are not infrequent, but that hitherto they have proved to be hoaxes.
