There was an old melodrama:called, we believe, “Nellie, the Beautiful Cloak Model.” In'the first act the villian threw her in front of a moving train. In‘the second he threw her off Brooklyn bridge. In the third he threw her off a steamer in New York bay. In the fourth he locked her in a room and: set fire to the building—some such’sequence .of attentions. ‘In the fifth he inquired: “Why do'you' distrust. me, Nellie? Governor Cabrera of the: Mexican state of Puebla, where Consul Jenkins is imprisoned, reminds us of this attentive gen- tle man. He explains the case and it causes us to feel a qegree of shame for Jenkins. The poor fish, why does he distrust the Mexicans? What are we complaining about? In the first act he was held-up and robbed. In the second act he was taken to the consulate and madéito surrender: his -own and the United States funds there. - In‘the third he was kidnapped and held for ransom. In tlge 3 Dy the Puebla authorities because his life had been bought by his friends. In the fifth, ‘Governor Cabrera wants to know why Mr. Jenkins distrusts them and what we Americans are kicking about. The Mexicans have been showing these little attentions to Mr. Jenkins because they lové him. —_—— THE RESULT OF FALSE PRIDE. : Some day, somewhere, someone sat himself and wrote something to the effect that pride precedes a fall, and that’s just what befell William Carlisle, the Wyoming bandit, a state’s prison escaped convict at Rawlings, when he was finally pursued through a biting blizzard to the top of a steep hill by a sheriff’s posse and shot through the front portion of his body by Sheriff Roach of Whiteland, when he attempted to draw a revolver in a cabin. The sheriff’s bullet didn’t kill the fugitive but he was strapped to a horse and guarded to the Douglas hospital, where he is again heavily guarded. When Carlisle escaped from the state prison, he held up , the point.of a revolver and made his.escape. ~With cash®se- cured, he made a quick roundabout trip to several cities and . towns and in derision wrote notes to the 'police, telling how much he liked the place but that lie was unable to make a call. Back to his old haunts he went and the chase commenced. i Fo_x;l:y years awaits him or the electric chair, the result of false | pride. S b ! : SERVICE_WORK. . More than 15,000 families ih'the northern division were ' assisted by Red Cross home' servite during the nidhth of Sep- tember, according to reports frohi“about one-third of the chap- ters in the four states which have just been received at division headquarters in Minneapolis, indicating that the fotal report would bring the figure well up above the 50;000 mark. Of these more than 5,000 families came to home service sections for information only, and something over 10,000 were given financial assistance to the extent of more than $18,000. According to David H. Holbrook, division director of civilian relief, the character of home service work is changing. The war job is being finished, and although a great many: of the services rendered during the month just reported were given to families of soldiers and sailors and to disabled men sti!] in the hospitals of the northern division, great progress is . being shown in those chapters which have adopted the peace time extension of Red Cross work and are offering to their communities social service generally. “We expect,” said Mr. Holbrook, “that with the establish- ment of so many chapters on a peace time basis and with our . 1deal of service to Americans at home that the Red Cross throughout every community may é¢ontinue to grow and may have a larger place than ever before in the development of American democracy.” e . : = | program for Sunday, Monday and |} Tuesday. d chanipion, will ‘appear iii his biggest and. greatest: triumph at the Rex to- night.

Wherever one finds an enthusiastic film patron, one generally finds also a lover of literature. Therefore, it will be a pleasant surprise to many to learn that Vivian Martin’s starr- ing vehicle, “‘Louisiana” will he pre- ‘sented at the Elko theatre tonight and’ Saturday, inasmuch as this pic- ture is an adaption of the pooular novel of the same name, written by iFrances Hodgson Burnett, and which probably has been read by many local patrons of the Elko.

CONSTANCE BINNEY Constance Binney, the youthful actress in Realart:pictures, wilf make her debut as a screen star next Sat- urday and Sunday.-at. the Grand theatre in “Erstwhile Susan.” This delightful -story - of - the ‘Menfidhite maid who won.out despite poverty and educational handicaps, was adapted from :Helen "R. Martin’s novel, ‘“Barnabetta,” which was the basis of a successful stage vehicle for Mrs. Fiske-a few seasons back.. The picture was diregted by John S. Rob- ertson. k Miss Binney’s leading man is Jere Austin, who made his stage debut in “The Squaw Man,” and later entered the picture fleld where his note- worthy performances in’ ‘“Resurrec- tion” and- “A Perfect Lady” brought him to the fore. ‘. The part of Juliet Miller, erstwhile Susan, which' was played by -Mrs. Fiske in the stage version, was creat- ed for the screen by Jane Alden; long known: to - film audiences for her work in “The Birth of a Nation,” “The Naulahka,” *“Common :Clay” and “The Unpardonable Sin.”. It:is of interest that Miss Alden wasat one time associated with Mrs. Fiske Emanuel Dreary in this photoplay.
