An advance notice says: Telegraphy in the dense 'jungles of'Africa. Telegraphy, according to lexicographers, is transmitting of messages or signals by means 'ot various apparatus or devices. In the big'Paramount production, "Drums of Fate," featuring ilary Miles Minter, the natives use.as a means of transmitting their, messages huge, drums. It is said that these drums-, can be heard for miles through the jungles, assembling the tribes, or warning of the approach of a safari. The signal of the drums In the junges is to the native children what the fire alarm is to the children of today, a sign for some new "Druins of Fate" will appear today only at the Tremont Theater.

At Dixie Wo. 1. An advance notice says: It used to be a. tradition that all vampires had midnight tresses, while any girl, no matter what her. disposition, was a she had blonde hair.

But in "Poor Men's Wives" this theory is entirely disproved. The Al LJchtman attraction, which plays at the Dixie No. 1 Theater today, gets away from this tradition, which probably arose from the popularity and imitation of Mary Pickford and Theda Sara's exponents i and vampire respectively. For Barbara La Marr, the heroine of the Schulberg- special, very dark, but she is a "sympathetic" type, and the nearest approach to a vam- piro in the picture is Betty Francisco, an unusually light type.
