Potter’s greatest success since “Trilby,” “A Woman's Experi- ence,” in which the beautiful star, Mary Boland, appears, was given its premiere yesterday at the Rex theatre where it will be shown again today. To say that the large audiences at yesterday’s performances were de- lighted with this unusual production would, indeed, be putting it mildly— they were simply enthralled; and as Entered at the postofilns at Bemidji, Minn., as second-class matter under act of Congress of March 3, 1879.

Kitty Gordon, the famous star, will appear in her newcst World picture, “Mandarin’s Gold,” at the Elko thea- tre tonight. Supporting Miss Gordon in this picture is Irving Cummings, who has appeared in numerous World pictures with much success, and a very superior cast of film favorites. “Mandarin’s Gold" is one of the big pictures of the season. It is a con- vineing, amazing story of a woman'’s need for money, c¢f the lengths to which she goes in her efforts to ob- tain it, and of whut happens to her- self and her husand as the result of her efforts. g OUR MARY" TOMORROW. And now comes the ever dainty, delightful Mary Pickford, the na- tian’s beloved, in a patriotic photo- play, abounding in delicious humor, unique in its settings, character and quality—a veritable protest against the old adage ‘“‘there is nothing new under the sun.” For decidedly, this new Artcraft picture, '“Johanna En- lists”—taken from the story by Ru- pert Hughes, ‘“The Mobilizing of Jonannpa,” which comes to the Elko tomorrow and Sunday, is most delect- able ecomedy dealing with modern days that we have seen in a month of Sundays, May Remove Spots.

Its own explana- tion that these volunteers are merely for the purpose of replac- ing drafted men who have a right to come home, is plausible, in view of the smallness of the force to be raised. And the more so as drafted men were raised for the specific purpose of fighting against Germany in the war which is now closed, or closing, and not for the purpose of occupation or for any emer- gency that may arise in the course of peace making. A good | many drafted men have been infused among the regulars, and their places will have to be filled. The call for volunteers must have brought great joy to the hearts of many men who have been bemoaning the ill luck that kept them in the home camps and cruelly robbed them of an opportunily to prove on the battlefield their courage and efficiency. Now is their chance to prove beyond question the sincerity of their eagerness for service in foreign field, and of course thousands and thousands of them promptly will utilize the privilege that is now theirs. To be sure, foreign service at the moment does not promise that the glories and excitement of active warfare will be theirs. As units in an army of occupation they will have many dull hours to live through, and the dangers so attractive to brave m —to real men, that is—will be lacking, at least for the present. The call to duty, however, is no less than it was be- fore. Of course, that call will ring loudest in the ears of men on whose training the Government has spent much money. They will be ready for whatever work is to be done months and months before green recruits can be brought to military efficiency equaling that of the soldiers whom the armistice turned back just as they were going to board the transports. And the men whose places they will take have nobly earned the right to be relieved. There is no doubt about that. 0 Semidji honored it s soldiers who have returned from ser- vice in splendid manner last evening. The boys, many of them having seen active service overseas, were emphatically impress- ed with the fact that Bemidji is glad they are back and that its people appreciate what they have done. There was not a soldier in attendance at the gathering last evening who was not proud and happy that he has been of service to his country in the great war fought that justice and freedom might prevail. 0. Last of the real American casualty lists in the world war are now being published, and within the next few days the lists will contain practically only the names of those who have died or have been injured since the signing of the armistice. Daily casualty lists will continue to be issued, however, indefinitely, because as long as the expeditionary forces remain in Europe or there is an army of occupation in Germany there will be deaths from disease which cannat be avoided. —o0 Two years ago today, just following Presidents Wilson’s request that a state of war with Germany be declared, the sen- ate adopted the war resolution, and the next day the house did likewise. The first aggressive act by the United States— after repeated overt acts by Germany—was the seizure of Ger-! man ships anchored in American ports. | i) Soctety Braad Cloth St THE: QUALITY - STORE “STYLE HEADQUARTERS”—Where Society Brand Clothes are sold. i Distinctive Clothes For Exacting MEN . . . . —You'll like them-they are i Society Brand Clothes —they are tailored to set the pace for clever as well as practical styles. —any man who is particular about his attire will be thoroughly sold for all time after he buys his first suit here. | We believe we are showing the strongest line -' that we have offered and certainly the pret- l tiest patterns and best styles that you have seen for sometime.
