supreme screen star of the day.
Horn In Talta, a little Crimean town
cn the shores of the Black tSea, she
was taken to Geneva when a child.
While here she showed a remarkable
aptitude for music and became a
wolinist ol distinction at the age of
twelve. She gave up music as a
profession, however, and devoted her
self to the study ol dramatic art. Im
mediately upon graduation she be
came leading woman with a stock
company in Kostroma, ltussia, and
played over two hundred parts dur
ing her lirst season. Soon after this
she moved to Betrograd where slio
appeared in the leaning theaters in
ail prominent roles including "Zaza,''
"Camille," "Magna," "iledda Gabier,"
"Trilby" and "The Second Mrs. Tun
queray." She attempted to make a
production of "The Chosen i'eople," a
revolutionary play, hut was stopped
by the .Russian censors.
It was in this piuy, however, that
she made her lirst appearance in
America, which was produced at the
Criterion Theater. During this time
she appeared In the Russian language
but at the suggestion of Henry Miller
she began to study Knglish and after
four short months appeared as "Hod
d:i Gabla" in this language. This is
almost inconceivable but true, and it
goes tc show the genius and deter
mination of this wonderful woman.
Nazimova's career in this country
has been a series of continuous and
tnemcnuous successes w hlch have
placed her at the top of the ladder of
dramatic and screen fame.
Since "War Brides," all her appear
ances on the silver sheet have been
in Nazimova productions, where she
has appeared in "Revelation," which
has been called a classic by the most
notable clitics of the day, and "Toys
of Fate," another super-screen pro
duction. In "Kye for Kye," which is
perhaps her greatest achievement and

wreath of fame.

of all Harrisburg movie fans who are
fortunate enough to see this remaik

Well may men dread lovely woman
when there is a purpose behind her
smile. She can mask hatred, bitter
vengeance, and even murder, behind
a glorious smile and a reassuring
kiss. Such a woman of wiles is Marie
Lohr. heroine of "When Men Desire."
Marie Bohr's grace aid charm en
tranced men so that they fought des
perately among themselves to pos

bewitched them and inflamed their
passions, and while they fought for
her she made her escape.

BUFFALO AT 10ANTON
During the lust week plans have
been perfected for the Lafavctto
baseball team to practice with the
Buffalo team of the International
League, beginning April 20. From
that time until May 1 the two teams
will work together on March Field.
This arrangement was perfected by
Coach George Wiltse, of tlie Lafay
ette team, who is also manager of
the Buffalo club. Mr. Wiltse got the
consent of the college authorities
and submitted the proposition to
President Lannin, who approved it. I
The Buffalo club in past years has i
spent its preliminary training season
in Newark or Jersey City. Because '
of this arrangement, Coach Wiltse
will bo able to stay with the La- !
fayctte team until May 1, instead
of leaving in the middle of April, as
would have been necessary with
out this arrangement. The Maroon
and White baseball aggregation will
also have the benefit of individual
coaching by professional players in
their own positions. I

Yank Crew Ready For
Boat Race Down Seine
By Associated Press.
Paris, April 8. Tho American
crew which is to compete in the
French interallied eight-oared race
on April 28 will be made up of some
of tho best known oarsmen of Amer
ican universities, the captain being
C. D. Wiman, artillery, Yale varsity,

inasmuch as merely elimination
trials are being held at present and
as therefore tho crew which will ap
pear in tho big event has not yet
been picked, the names of the oars
men he withheld until a final selec.
tion has been made.
The race will bo over a course of
2,500 meters down tho Seine, start
ing at tho Pont Royal and finishing
at Pone De L'Alnia, and passing un
der four bridges, including the fa
mous Alexander ill bridge.
Tho obstacles of the race will
make it more spectacular, tho space
under the arches of the bridges per
mitting only two crews to pass un
der an arch at the same time. The
Pont Royal, having only three
arches, the coxswains will have to
do some clever jockeying and maneu
vering and a lively sprint can be
looked for at the takeoff.
The crews will use off-center slid
ing seat lapstreak barges, with Bel
gian tholes. Tho boats are some
what heavier than those to which
American and English rowing men
are accustomed. <

SHECKARD MAKING GOOD

Motor-Trucks are Part of
Your Daily Life
Consider the motor-truck. It delivers your ice and coal. It brings to your door the food
you eat and the clothes you wear. It carries the merchandize of city and farm.
It is an indispensable factor of commerce. It has not only supplemented transportation
by-rail, but has supplanted it in many instances. The motor-truck is a vital part of your
daily existence. Give it credit.
When you consider that a vast majority of trucks are driven by Atlantic Gasoline, you will
realize that Atlantic Gasoline is likewise a vital part of your daily existence. Give it credit.
Truck-users do not buy gasoline as "gasoline". They buy Power, just as coal-users buy
heat-units, rather than "coal". That Power must' be the most that money will buy, for
hauling costs are figured in pennies.
If Atlantic Gasoline is the most economical Power obtainable for trucks and business
cars, it is certainly the most economical Power for passenger-cars.
That is as plain as two-plus-two-equals-four.
Profit by the experience of others. A ny gasoline won't do any more than any size shirt or
collar will do. There is just one gasoline that is best suited to your needs and purse. Its name is

THE ATLANTIC REFINING COMPANY
PHILADELPHIA PITTSBURGH
BOXING ON THURSDAY
The management of the Motive
Pcwer A. A. could not have planned
a better attraction at this time than
a bout which includes Allentown
Dundee, the hard-hitting Dutchman
who electrified the fans several
weeks ago with his tactics. The
man picked to meet this tough lad
is Tommy Carey, and he is so popu
lar here that the arena will more
than likely make him the favorite,
although Dundee always puts up a
fight which satisfies. Carey is be
ing boosted right and left and many
are willing to make a wager that he
will put it all over Dundee.
Another encounter which should
be a real thriller is that arranged
for Nate Isaactnan and Bobby Wil
liams. The latter was' to appear at
the last Motive Power show and dis
appointed the spectators greatly by
not showing up. But hfis manager,
Charley Ettinger, explains that he
was suffering from a nasty cut re
ceived in boxing and was in no
shape to fight. Isaacman is so slev
er at the game that he rarely gets
an opponet who can make things
interesting. Willitms will have the
chance.
Young Fulton, who alie fans know
from his bouts with Max William
son is a clever little fellow will be
on deck to meet Dick Gotwalt.
Hughey Dugan is a newcomer in
Harrisburg but after tbe fans once
see bim go, they will be anxious to
see him again. He is a boy that
battles from bell to bell.
Tom Carey has won a number of
bouts, Joe Philips being among his
recent victims. He was outfought
by Benny Leonard and Britton, but
put. up creditable bouts. Carey is
no youngster in the game and has
participated in nearly one hundred
bouts. It is dollars to doughnuts he
will hit Dundee hard and often.
LOCAL BOXERS AT CARLISLE
Sammy Schiff met Black Gunboat
Smith last evening before the
