The Indignant complaint was re

would have astonished Welshmen
of an earlier generation. Until

CORINNE HAS SURPRISE
ROLE IN NEW FILM
Theatre-goers will meet a new
Corinne Griffith when this star
appears in her latest First Na
tional picture, “Love’s Wilder
ness,” ft the Alamo today and to
morrow.
No longer is she the frail or
chid of the exclusive ballroom or
the frayed rose of poverty. For
the first time, Corinne’s scenario
writers have steered her up
against the primitive side of life.
As an abandoned wife in the wilds
of Canada, she is given drastic
action to augment her tense emo
tional acting.
The story by Evelyn Campbell is
Corinne’s own selection. As the
head of her own producing com
pany, she exercises this unusual
right among film stars.

Great ”rench Dictator I
Typical of His Race
Napoleon’s character and pen
sons lit)’ are still under the micro
scope. One of the best of recent
analyses of the great commander U
“Napoleon,” by Herbert A. L. <
Fisher, at one time British min
ister of education. Mr. Fisher has
made the French dictator luminous
by his phrases. Here, for Instance,
is a passage on Napoleon as a
young man, portraying him as a
turbulent example of the people
from which he sprang:
“The Corsican bore a character
for sobriety, courage and ha rdi
hood. Hate was for him a virtue,
vengeance a duty, pardon an in
famy. He felt the call of the clan
like a Highlander, an Albanian or a
Zulu, and was full of the pride and
self-assurance common to gallant
men who have never met a superior. -' |
“Vigilant and astute in, his judg
ment of character, he was a master
of dissimulation save where pas
sion broke in and spoiled the reck-4
oning. I
••His standard of honor forbade
theft, enjoyed hospitality and tol-, |
crated woman as the drudge of the
household and field. In general his
deportment was noted as grave and I
social. He was sparing of amuse- i
ment, would sit at cards without a
word and suffer torture without, a
cry; hut when the seal of silence
was once broken, language would
stream from him like a torrent, an
Index of that uneasy, impatient,
quarrelsome energy which was a
common attribute of the race.”

Stories have a way of accumulat

wits, and Dean Swift was no excep

to the San Francisco Argonaut. A
hoard of Swift anecdotes recently
unearthed includes the illustration
of the dean’s mania for closed
doors. Swift’s housekeeper hired
his servants, but when they came
Into liis employ he always told them
there were only two rules to ob
serve. One was always to shut the
door after entering a room, the
other, always to close the door
alter leaving the room.
“On one occasion a maid asked

sister's weddin g, when he not only
gave His permission, bnt lent her a
horse upon which to make the jour

pany her. In the excitement of the
moment the unfortunate girl forgot
to dose the door after her, and
Swift, allowing time for her to get
well nwny upon her Journey, sent
another servant posthaste to bring
her back. In fear and trembling
the poor girl presented herself be
