Make-up of Grease and Pow-

His Part Time and
Again
"THIS • IS TERRIBLE"
Greased and powdered like a pro-
fessional cinema actor and obeying in
detail the instructions of the director,
the Prince of Wales before ho left`
for Canada took part in London in the
creation of the film "Remembrance,"
*Itch Is being produced by the British
Legion, and will be all public exlribiton
on Armistice Day.
The scene in which the Prince took
punt was the final piece of photo-
graphy necessary, and was enaoted in
a replica of his study in York Henze
which had been erected at the Pathe
Studios in Wai'dour-street, London.
When approached some time ago
with a request that he would appear in
the flim far the benefit of the funds
of the Legion, elle Prince readily con-
sented and ,gave all the assistance he
could to the producers in staging a
realistic scene.
For Armistice Day
After being monde up the Prince, who
was wearing a lounge sult with: a
Brttisiti Legion tie and badge, went
into the studioand took his stand be-
fore the cameras, holding a poppy.
This he placed in hie buttonhole, and'
after a moment'spause turned to the
desk, where he sat down to write a
letter to Earl Haig.
This letter, cogratulating Earl Haig
on the success of the Poppy Day oele-
brations, will be a@bwn on the screen.
in the course of the film.
The Prime went through aOL the
movements of writing and folding the
letter. He patiently submitted to
half -a -dozen rehearsals in order that
the producer might be satisfied with
the scenes, and showed himself fully
appreciative of the deliberate move-
ment necessary In film acting.
The actual scene in the fiem will:
occupy about 200 feet, and,"with the
captions, will last about four minutes.
There was a merry laugh when, In
the dressing room, the paint was re-
mover, and the Prince's face, rather,
Gore (as he observed), was freely
powdered.
The Prince remarked as he looked
at his watch, "3 must be off. I'm lunch-
ing With my brother at the Guildhall:
"That's Wrong"
In conversation with T tr. Wynne, the
film director, the Prince expressed
great interest in the production of
British films, He said the Americans
lead better facilities, better weather,
and more money, bet he was sure that
within the next year or two this coun-
try would beat them �at their own
game.
A number of well-known cinema act-
ors have taken paa't in the film, which
includes war scenes produced with the
utmost realism, and gives an inter-
esting survey of the work of the
British. Legion.
Mr, Wynne, talking to a "Daily Dis-
patch" representative about the
"shooting" of the scene, was loud in
his -praise of the Prince's readiness to
help the camera men and his perfect
willingnees to do as he was told.
"He never . demurred," said 14Ir.
Wynne, "to doing a thing again and
(again so as to get the best result. On
arriving at Elie studio the Prince 'was

Briton Pays $300,000 for Call
Boy to Prevent His Sale-

men=Horse Takes
Rank With Non -
Exportable Art
Thoroughbreds are assumed to have
taken rank with rare objects of art
in England, because Sir Henry Malta-
by, Deeley paid $300,000 recently for
Call Boy, winner of the Derby, for the
express purpose of preventinghis sale
to American turfman, There has been
agitation In England, as elsewhere,
against letting valuable paintings 'or
other art works go to the U.S., but this
is perhapsthe first time that a horse
has, been purchased to keep It in its
home country.
It cost Sir Henry the highest price
that has ever been paid for a horse
to gratify his Impulse. Sir Henry is
the brother of the late Frank Curzon,
who formerly owned Call ,Bey. ' As
a two-year-old Call Boy won two. of
his four' races easily; and then this
year took the Newmarket Stakes and
subsequently the world's turf classic,
the English Derby, with sweepstakes
that run into the hundred thousands
1n'prizes.
The highest previous price paid for
a horse was in 1920, when the late
August Belmont received $265,000 for
Tracery, which was bought by Senor
Unzure, a breeder from Argentina.
The highest ,European price was 8209,-
000, paid for Prince .Palatine.
Horses frequently bring extraordin-
ary prices, but often they afterward
win purses that more than cover their
cost—or -else they are used ter breed-
ing purposes from which revenue is
derived.
Although America is regarded as
extravagant by most of Europe, there
have been more instances of high
payment for horseflesh abroad than
in the U.S. In the country to the
south of us' only nine horses have
brougbt $100,000 or more; in Europe
there have been thirty-one. The high•
est price paid in South America was
$200,000 for Betafogo. •

dividual horses, it is not an American
PEKING'S SUPERSTITIONS
REVIVED BY WAR MISERY
Priests of Lamaism Reaping Rich Harvest by Performing
"Bestowal of Power Ceremony"; Sell
Charms to Recipients
Peking.—The misery of the Chinese
people, due to sixteen years of civil.
war, is reviving ancient superstitions
which have been neglected for a gen-
eration or more, but which are once
more being tried in the forlorn hope
that they will help to mitigate con-
ditions.
One of the most interesting and ob-
ae11r0 of these superstitions is that of
"the bestowal of power," or wang-
nang—which, translates literally into
"power -give ceremony." This old
rite, which had not been seen in Pe-
king for more than thirty year's, but
had lingered in some popularity near-
ly 3,000 miles to the westward on the.
borders of Tibet, has been revived in
Peking by thepriests of Lamaism,
who are reaping a rich harvest in
fees.
The bestowal of power ceremony is
given to 300 persons at a time and is
supposed to make the recipients int -
mune to old age, illness and death as
long as they faith does not falter.
The Lama priests make the ceremony
as ornate as possible, and as a rule
the candidates are kept on their knees
in the temple courtyard during near-
ly `three hours; of incantations, an-
ointings and long prayers.
SPRINKLED WITH HOLY WATER
First, the head priest, attended by
many understudies in yellow robes,
goes up and down the lines of suppli-
cants and pours holy water on the
head of each from the pum-ha or jar
of life, This holy water contains
saffron, and is stapposed', to be akin to
an elixir'of life.
After the jar -of -life rites are fln-
ished the paper image of s01110 Lama
saint, usually Jinrehzeo the healer, is
glued to the forehead of each person
in the kneeling throng, ,
,
Then, in spite of the heat of China s
summer sun, the dorma or sacred
butter, is put on the top of the head
of every believer. The dogma is about
twice the size of a walnut, and is a
thick disc marked with Tibetan char-
acters, Tho butter of which it is
made must be manufactured from the
milk of yak cows or water bufl'alo
cows. The butter is artificially calor-

he wrote extensively upon problems

Then comes another long period of
