N —————— BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER NEWS OF THE D EVERY Ao EETNG o AT THEATERS “THE COUNTRY COUSIN” Just such a girl as you often have dreamed about is Nancy Price as por- trayed by Elaine Hammerstein in her first Selznick Picture, “The. Country Cousin,” by Booth Tarkington and Julian Street, which will be shown at the Rex last time tonight. To effect the refreshingly sweet, modest, whole-souled and sympathe- tic country lass, hearty and healthy and effervescently happy, imbued deeply with the joy of living and liv- ing only for the good, Miss Hammer- stein had only to be her natural self. She is .all of this and more, so much so in fact that a thorough and ade- quate description of her and her worldly purposes emphasize her as a real, ungarnished, 100, per cent Amer- ican girl, with ideas purely American —the true ideal of American woman- hood—the girl of your dreams—my dreams—the dream of dreamers. Elainé Hammerstein is a remark- able girl. With big gray eyes that glitter mischievously, dark brows and tong, curling lashes, abundance of rich, brown hair, an infectious smile that ‘displays two even rows of won- derfully white, pearly teeth and a girlish lithsomeness that bespeaks of rare physical attainments, Elaine is [ TELBPHEONE 932 - E;nered at the pogtomee at Bemidji, Minn., as second-class matter under Act of Congress of March 3, 1879, No attention paid to annoymous contributions.

The situation in the United States today is fraught with .conspiracies against the government, but the U. S. is fast getting " rid of the “red” horde. Of course the profiteers are flourishing "but the general public is getting used to it. THE BEMIDJ] DAILY PIONEER Straight” provides Mr. Ray with another of his inimitable rural roles and is said to be a thoroughly enter- taining picture. It is a Paramount- Artcraft, producec by Thomas H. Ince. NORMA TALMADGE LAST TIME TONIGHT Tonight will be the last opportuni- ty to see Norma Talmadge’s biggest and best photoplay which has been showing the past two days at the Grand theatre. Seldom does a picture come with such unqualified and instantaneous approval as has been given to ‘“The Isle of Conquest,” and the increased attendance at each showing, is silent witness to the fact. From a Girl’s Boarding School, to New York’s gayest society, and from a torpedoed yacht to an uninhpbited south sea isle gives to the “Isle of Conquest” just about everything that goes to make an unusual picture. Then add Norma Talmadge’s charm- Other nations are not so fortunate. For instance: England—Labor troubles, Irish uprising, lid bubbling up in India, government staggering under mountains of debt. France—Bankrupt, much of the country in ruins, begging for funds with which to rear its head.' i . Italy—Short of money, smoldering discontent, with the lid - threatening to blow off. : i Spain—Political unrest, country in bad shape financially. Germany—Crushed and in chains, trembling at the menace of allied vengeance. Bolshevistic. B Austria—Down, out and starving—an . object of warld Russia—A combination of bolshevism and hell. Turkey—Rotten as ever. - Belgium—Pauperized, and in need of charity. Japan—Sawing wood. \ _China—still asleep. \ “The Balkans—Hungry, helpless, and no way to turn. Holland—1In fair shape, but weighted down by the kaiser. k Norway—Not suffering. Sweden—Fair condition. : Cuba—Prosperous, and beckoning to our wets. ! Canada—Labor troubles. { Mexcio—Anarchy and brigandage. ! The President—Stubborn. The Senate—Stubborn as the president. And that’s all, tp —— 5 Robert H A 1l BUT VISCOUNT GREY HAD IT SIZED EXACTLY. - a"’m‘f“:try“;;"l o:velll'?hl;l:?o::h: ;‘r"‘: Well, just when the United States was getting right down |nounced success through hig. depic- to the solution of the peace treaty, the government of England|tion of parts of '1!.1‘9«“““‘;;;13 P takes a wallop at Lord Grey and says his letter was purely a Grlz’:g,fi;’i‘:}:f‘ mfl:‘; el < flg_ personal matter with him and not.an official act. | tributed - by m.;p.mm Natioital Ex- The fact is, that the letter of Viscount Grey placed afhibitors’ Circuit, a nation-wide or- mighty favorable aspect on the. much:cussed and discussed g"“"“"" of exhibitors assembled to peace treaty, and when Senator Lodge, the arch-opponent of | i, arott Bigser-and better motion the treaty as it was drawn, being ably supported by a large| cCharlie Chaplin will also beon the number of senate members, had taken the cue for practically|program. t Tty am immediate settlement, along comes the announcement by- *Great Britain, and, again, there is every prospect that the treaty: will be longer delayed by stiff backs.” g .

Grey has more good sense in his cranium than the bunch that,,flgmd it was a ‘“personal matter.” something more than a wonderful girl. James J. Corbett will also be seen in another of his thrillers, “The Mid- night Man,” the caption of the epi- sode being “Blazing ’l’ox"ch." “THE GREATEST QUESTION” When D. W. Griffith’s latest pro- duction, “The Greatest Question,” a photoplay of unseen forces, is shown on the screen of the Rex theatre com- mencing Saturday, it will mark the achievement of one of the greatest and most significant landmarks in the history of-the silent-drama. ' Unquestionably the most startling daring decision to build a photoplay about the most awesome: -guestion within the human imagination—the question of a Hereafter and-Heaven. This element of Occultism has .been too daring a problem :for. 6Rd¥eé: pro- fessing a knowledge of this lestion of mysticism, but Griffith goes on record with a point blank answer. ject of this picture was entrusted to Griffiths’ tried and tested ‘ players. The part of Nellie Jarvis, the orphan- ed Kentucky child, is taken by Lillian Gish, whose name has long been linked with Griffith productipns. 3 « —— ( RAY LIKES VARIETY. Like William S. Hart, Charl y | doesn’t believe, in appearing with:the same leading ‘wWoman in all of his pic- tures. The public likes variety in the 'types of feminine pulchritude playing oposite their:favorites, according to Charlie, and he aims to please by having a different. member of the Thomas H. Ince galaxy of feminine players shgre-the honors. .with . him ever so often. In “Crooked Straight” his new vehicle, which is.to come to the Elko tonight and Saturday, Mar- gery Wilson is the girl with whom Mr. Ray falls in love and for whom he performs a neat job of safe-crack- ing. Miss Wilson is no stranger to Ray fans, having appeared with him in “The Clodhopper” and “The Moth- er Instinct.” She was also cast in important.roles in the Ince spectacle, ‘“Intolerance,” ‘and with William 8. Hart in ‘“Wolf Lowry.” ‘“Crooked The Exchange Editor By Cy Perkins, Jr. & Interesting Stories—Real and Unreal—as Told by the Editors of the Press of Northern Minnesota—Retold, Rehashed and Commented On by This Editor Galvanic Soap, 10 bars for ing personality and—no wonder the picture is a rare one.

Minneapolis, like St. Cloud, needs more hotels and a project is under consideraticn in the former. city to erect three big ones, costing seven million dollars. Minneapolis lost the. lumbermen’s convention in 1921 because it could not give good accommodations to the thousands of dele- gates, and probably the attendance this week at the auto show would have been at least 20,000 ‘laiger had ‘there been more hotels. St. Cloud has|| been receiving the knocks of the traveling public for twenty years, and probably enough coin has been kept away from the city in these years to have built a couple of first’ class hotels. Fortunately relief is in sight, but it will be only a short time before more will be needed.—Journal Press. We have been more foriunate than either of these “burgs,” but we’re growing, and should have the' future in mind. .RIGHT YOU ARE. Brother Jones of the Bagley Herald sets forth some good sound advice in a recert editorial, in which he thinks the farmer has equal rights with the business man or anybody else, No question about it, Mr. Jones. —_— § HE USED. GOOD JUDGMENT. Robert Bergerson, who owns a 168-acre farm near Valley City, N. D., has decided to quit that state. He has purchased a farm in Nicollet county. There’s a reason. In 1916, Mr. Bergerson paid a tax of $54.43 on his North Dakota acreage. In 1919 he paid $261.51. Mr. Bergerson does not take kindly to the Townleyisquian control. He would rather own property and live in Minnesota. It will not cost him as much.—Mankato Free Press. Who wouldn’t move if he got half a chance? Can’t blame him. —_—————— BANK ROBBERS VS. BUSINESS MEN. Bank Robbers are oftimes more persistent than some Business Men. The first thing many do, after being relcased from a penitentiary for “plowing” a bank—is to immediately rob anhother. ' If the average Business Man was just as persistent with his advertising effort for business promotion—you would find many in business now that failed ten years ago.—*‘Pep.” Eeele g Ra e by QUILLEN’S QUIPS. English hangmen are demanding an increase of pay, and just for that ‘we shall hang around here at home. This charge that the two big political parties don’t stand for anything is untrue. They stand for a lot of peanut politicians. +If Sir Oliver Lodge can really talk with the dead, perhaps he can find out whether Bryan intends to be a candidate. : A new peace offer from Lenine? How in thunder can we make peace with him when we haven’t been at war with him? Newspaper stories about this “beautiful bolshevist” will probably cause %o:'n greuch to remark that beauty goes no deeper than cooties.—Robert 3 < g R .IIIIIIIIIlIIIIlIIIlIIIIlIIIIIIIII“ 3 " VOTE FOR FOR RE-ELECTION TO OFFICE OF TY ASSESSOR OXRS0 Stands/for a Fair and Equal Taxation to All Election February 17, 1920 - .K ‘ 4 50 l ) | {
