Passengers aboard the Canadian
Pacific steamship “Hmpress of
France,” now touring the world?
bed a unique experience recently
while visiting Ceylon. Returning
from a run out to Kandy, the old
capital of the Cingalese Kings and
Site of the Temple of the Tooth of
Buddha, a train-load of the trav-
ellers was held up by a herd of wild
elephants which, hemmed in on
either side by the jungle, ambulated
aleng the track ahead. This was a
feature of the journey which de-
lighted those of the tourists who
were not anxious about missing the
auip.

Vioia Dana, the famous motion
picture actress, whose work has de-
lighted millions, is to be the star of
a@ drama to be filmed at Banff, ac-
cording to a recent report. Miss
Dana journeyed from New York to
Montreal and then across the con-
tinent via Canadian Pacific Rail-
way, in order to join her company
for the film. The remainder of
the cast are proceeding to Banff
from Los Angeles and it is expected
that shooting of the scenes , will
commence shortly. A very consid-
erable number of big pictures have
already been taken at Banff, which
seems to have a great atiraction for
diszerning stars and directors who
appreciate the beauty of the scen-

head. .
