There doesn’t seem to be the slightest doubt but that the Pbond issue, for the connecting of the state trunk lines_with the proposed paving in Bemidji, will carry at the mumcn_pal election, February 17, for it would be one of the greatest im- provements that Bemidji could possibly construct. In an interview with Secretary Koll of Cass Lake, of the Northern Minnesota Development association,.hg was asked what he thought of the paving project of Bgmldjl, to com{ec_i': the Babcock trunk highways, and he. replied: “If Ber_mdn doesn’t do it, it will be the only city or town in Northern ang- sota that won’t. They’re all doing just that.” And what this genuine North Minnesota booster said was earnestly and sin- cerely expressed. : I That’s it, other cities in this part of Minnesota are leaving no stone unturned in advertising its progressiveness to the state, and Bemidji voters should turn out in force and vote “Yes” on February 17. SOLDIERS OF FOREIGN BIRTH-NATURALIZED TUESDAY. On next Tuesday those soldiers of foreign birth who fought for the United States and who saw service in camps and on battlefields may call at the court housé at Bemidji and receive their naturalization papers the same day. All they have to do is to bring their honorable discharge and have two witnesses THE BEMIDJ1 DAILY PIONEER easygoing, unassuming Charles Ray would be cast as a crook. But that is just what happened. “Crooked Straight” is not the usual story of a man sunk in the depths who turns straight after spending the most of his life behind prison bars, but.of a man who gets just one taste of crime and then decides to be good there- after, for he has learned his lesson. And, of course, there is the girl. The feature comedy, “The Simple Life,” also last time tonight at the Elko is also “great.” ' g " NEW GRIFFITH PICTURE . AT ELKO THEATRE In the early days of the movies, when the screen was surfeited with crude blood-and-thunder Wild West pictures, how many of us cried out for a master producer who would take all the rich 'material which the old romantic days of the West really con- tained for screen drama and make of it an artistic, logical photoplay. William S. Hart answered the call and now David Wark Griffith has done it also. Wandering far afield from the tender small town love story of “True Heart Susie,” Mr. Griffith has reincarnated the glowing Cali- fornia of the gold rush days of '49 on the screen. The picture is called “Scarlet Days” and through the mas- tery of Griffith its thrilling, heart- apealing story has been given the artistic touch that raises it rar above the ordinary screen feature. It is a Paramount-Artcraft picture and is being shown this week at the Elko theatre tomorrow, also Monday and Tuesday.” There will be a special two-reel comedy show each day, and orchestra music Sunday evening.

NEWS OF THE THEATERS “THE GREAT QUESTION” When D. W. Griffith's latest pro- duction “The Greatest Question,” a protodrama of unseen forces, is shown on the screen at the Rex theatre. tonight and Sunday, it will mark the achieevment of one of the greatest and most significant land- mark the achievement of one of the drama. b Unquestionably the most startling feature of this production is Griffith’'s daring decision to build a photoplay about. the most awesome «uestion within the human imagination—the question of o Ilereafter and Heaven. This element of Occultism has been too daring a problem for those pro- fessing a knowledge of this question of mysticism, but Griffith goes on record with a point blank answer. The delineation of the delicate sub- © ject of this picture was entrusted to Griffith’s tried and tested players. The part of Nellie Jarvis, the orphan- ed Kentucky child, is taken by Lil- lian Gish, whose name has long been linked with Griffith productions. Robert Harron, who plays the role of a country boy lover, has won a pronounced success through his de- piction of parts of like nature. Ralph Graves, who plays the part of the young sailor who is wept from the coming tower of a submarine, is well known for his work in many Griffith productions, in addition to important parts under various other directors. Charlie Chaplin will also be seen in his scream “In the Rink.” OWEN MOORE MONDAY. “Piccadilly Jim,”* Owen Moore's first picture under the Selznick ban- ner, which comes to the Rex theatre next Monday and Tuesday, is describ- ed as a typical English-American play in which the characters are human and go through adventures ordinarily experienced by real human beings. Comedy runs riot throughout the performance and Owen Moore, as the town ‘rounder who becomes implicat- ed in a deep, dark plot to kidnap “The Little Nugget' for the sole pur- pose of pleasing the girl he loves, and thus terminating the wild and wooly career of a rounder par excellence, adds new laurels to his already estab- lished fame. THE SEASON'S EVENT. The management of the Rex thea- tre, Bemidji, through the assurance of the Fox Film Corporation, is pleased to turn to reassure our patrons and the public, that “The Daughter of the Gods,” road show scheduled for showing here February 14 and 15, is one of the season's highest class and most artistic attrac- tions that we ever had pleasure pre- senting. It is not by any mean a chorus girl troup, or cheap musical comedy —it is rated as one of the best tra- veling shows to visit here this season. The film subject itself cost William Fox $1,000,000, and the special scenery, costumes, musical settings, have been added for effect, costs ad- ditional huge sums. It is in a sense a film folies, with novelty galore, pretty girls and figures, lovely music and songs that are delightful. It will most assuredly be the sea- son’s event. The Management, Fred E. Brinkman. SHORTY HAMITON AT GRAND The genial, smiling, Shorty Hamil- ton, whose comedy dramas of life in the open in the Southwest, have pleased so many patrons, will be seen at the Grand theatre tonight and Sunday, in his latest fun producer, “When Arizona Won,” a story that breathes of the big outdoors. Mr. and Mrs. Carter DeHaven will also be shown in one of their spright- ly two.part comedys of young mar- ried life, entitled, “After the Bawl.” JUST ONE WORD. It takes just one word to give our idea of “Crooked Straight,’ ’a Thomas H. Ince production starring Charles Ray, appearing last time tonight at the Elko theatre. And that one word is “Great!” The picture is great, the cast is great, and the star is great. Charles Ray is our idea of a perfect actor. That is, a natural actor. No one would ever think that the which is under the direction of Mrs. Paul Yaple, will sint, and the service flag wil be demobolized completely.
