Typical Scene From
"Queen of the Sea"
Even realism isn't enough these j
days, according to Annette Kellerman.
the internationally famous woman
swimmer.
"They wanted realism recently in j
a picture in which I was starred," |
she explains, "and so they stretched j
a cable from a tower on a point of j
land, across an arm of the sea. to
the mainland opposite. Then they |
j induced me to get out oh the wire
while some one shopped it near the
j tower end and plunged me Into the
■ eight-flve feet of space between my
j starting point ana the water. I did
the stunt five times before the picture I
I 'took.'
I "The other day I was witnessing '
I a private showing oi tne production. !
j A party of women were present who
i did not know me. and I overhead one |
i of them remark, knowingly: 'Oh. that j
I isn't real! It couldn't be! They musta j
I used a dummy.' I didn't remain to I
; see the rest of the picture. YVhat
I was the use, after that?"
i The thrilling dive which Miss Kel- j
i '.erman made is shown in the newest '
| William Fox submarine spectacle,
' "Queen of the Sea," which is being
j shown at the Victoria today, YY'ednes

Demosthrnlan Postponed
The regular monthly meeting of
I the Demosthenlan Literary Socie'y
that had been called for YVednesday,
March 12, at the home of Miss Kath
ryn YY'hartcn. 1519 North Second
street, has been postponed. Four of
the Demosthenians are on the two
school debating teams, and will' de
bate In the assembly hall on that
night. Thursday is the regular night
for the Demnsthenian .meetings, but
due to the fan that the four debat
! ers Will appear in the Triangle De
bating League on the following night,
it was also thought unwise to hold
i a meeting on that evening. No date
for the meeting has ' beeh set.
Preliminary Debate
The two schqpi teams will meet in
a preliminary debate on YVednesday
evening in the assembly hall. This
debate was thought to be a wise
move, in oidcr to give the two teams
a little experience from the platform
before they meet their opponents on i
Friday night. The faculty of the
school will be the only persons ad
mitted at this time. All interested
persons, however, are invited to at
tend the triangle debate between Cen-
trnl High and Reading High School
on Friday evntng. March 14.
llnakrthnll SotM
The girls" varsity team will play a
return game with the Sudbury High
School Friday night at Sunbury,
and will also meet Susquehanna Uni
versity In a return game on their
home floor at Selinsgrove on Satur
day. The Sunbury team was snowed
under by the Central girls when they
played here, but Susquehanna Uni
versity had the best of the local
quintet by on 0 point when they op
ened the season here. The Central
bunch have been working hard and,
spurred on by their victory last Fri
day, hav a mighty good chance to
bring home two more laurels from
up the state.
An inter-class game was on this
afternoon, and the results will ap
pear tomorrow.
