The parlor was decorated in palms and American flags. A very good program was given throughout the evening, con- sisting of an opening address by Mrs. E. F. Netzer on “Spending Your ‘Money in Bemidji and Boosting Your Home Town,” several vocal selections by Miss Helyn Wilson, and a number of well rendered violin selections by Mr. Mortz, accompanied by Miss Riley. A long runner was built from the front entrance the full length of the room back to the work rooms, on which the models could be dis- played to good advantage. The first one hundred ladies who arrived were given tickets bearing a girl’s name, which entitled them to a chance of winning the $15 hat which was given away. Miss Arvilla Ken- field placed a name of her own choice in a sealed envelope and pinned it in the hat, and the lady having the lucky name, “Peggy,” proved to be Mrs. Edward Kramer, and she re- ceived the hat. The young ladies who acted as models were Misses Louise McCready, Ruby Leet, Francis McManus, Hazel Laqua, Arvilla Kenfield, Miss Kirk and Mrs. R. C. Norcross. Little Miss Gladys Coole and little Miss Mar- jorie Roman were very attractive models for children’s spring bonnets. The parlors were crowded from 7:30 to 9:15 o’clock, and over two hun- dred hats were shown, in Cellophine, Batavia, Zipper and Hair Braid, all of which are the key note of the New York styles. The merchants of the city were unable to co-operate in their usual way, owing to the fact that their spring garments have mnot arrived yet, but the Garment Shop, O’Leary- Bowser Co. and the J. C. Penney Co. contributed some good numbers in spring sports coats, in tweed and leather. Each of the models were presented with a pound box of choice candy by Koors Bros. Mrs. Galloway, proprietor, was very much pleased with the enthusis asm shown by the ladies, also by the merchants of the city. Deputy United' States Marshal F. G. Halgren, left this morning for the Range cities, where he will serve subpoenaes upon witnesses and oth- ers to appear in Federal Court in Duluth. CHINA IN MARKET FOR HATS. The manufacture of hats in Chi- na is expected to become an impor- tant industry. With the cutting of the queue, foreign hats displaced the native styles. More than 2,000,000 rush hats are exported each year from Ningpo to the United States. A hat of good quality is being made in Szechwan of palm-leaf fiber. The extensive manufacture of straw braid in Shantung will lead to the manu- facture of straw hats in that section. Subscribe for The Ploneer.

JACQUES TELLS STORY. It was half past twelve at might, this honest old man told us, and I was in the laboratory with Monsieur Stangerson, when the thing happened. Madamoiselle - Stangerson worked with us until. midnight, when she arose, said, “Bon Soir, Daddy,” and went into the Yellow Room and we heard her lock the door and shoot the bolt. CRIES OF “MURDER!” Suddenly while the cuckoo was sounding the half after midnight a desperate clamour broke out in the Yellow Room. It was the voice of Mlle,, crying, ‘“Murder! Murder! Help!—" Thus was created one of the most mystifing cases ever known. Written by the famous Gaston Leroux, it has appeared in serial form in several daily papers and magazines. Pro- duced by Emile Ghautard of the May- flower Photoplay Corporation, who are the producers of “The Miracle Man,” “The Mystery of the Yellow Room” is being distributed by Realart as a Special Extraordinary. As for the cast of players—when there is a story as powerful as “The Mystery of the Yellow Room” one forgets about who the star is, but in this case, Wm. S. Walcott, Edmund Elton, George Cowl, Ethel Gray Terry and' Jean Ewing who head the cast, are all well known artists of wonderful ability who are perfect in their dif- ferent roles. In presenting the “Mystery of the d| Yellow Room” to the patrons of the Grand theatre, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, we know, from reports of exhibitors throughout the country who have already shown the picture, that it is far beyond the ordinary; a picture that will entertain you every minute you are in the theatre. It wiill be shown afternoon and evening for three days, beginning Sunday, with no advance in admission prices. Ny Ry T S «A SCREAM IN THE NIGHT,” FRIDAY AND SATURDAY A melodramatic novelty, “A Scream in the Night,” by Charles A. Logue, is the feature attraction at the Grand theatre Friday and Saturday. The story delves deeply into the Darwin- ian theory of the origin of the human race and proves for all time that man alone has the power to reason and to love. “A Scream in the Night” is said to be brimming with the adventure and mystery so popular among movie fans. A Dbeautiful jungles to great experiment to prove the Dar- winian theory! girl reared in the bé a crazed scientist’s!Stone is so genuine that it places her! ALICE BRADY IN “THE FEAR MARKET,” LAST TIME TONIGHT, GRAND Not a few people in the United States have read the very thrilling story, “The Fear Market,” written by Princess Troubetzkoy, and not re- called to mind a similar story which occupied the most prominent position on the front page of the daily press, throughout the country, for many weeks. It deals with a vicious scandal sheet whose editor is a myStery and impossible to discover. A society girl, Sylvia Stone (Alice Brady), an eye witness to the act of self-destruction |committed by her friend, Mrs. Hill, on account” of the publication of a libelous story in this blackmailing paper, is determined to run down and trap the “fox” in his lair and bring him to justice, not only to avenge the death of her friend but for self- protection, being troubled of mind lest an innocent affair which she was a party of might be made public, thereby doing her an injustice and injury. Alice Brady’s portrayal of Sylvia in the first rank of realistic screen| ‘Published Every Thursday—By the Harding-Whaley Co., Bemidji, Minn. ‘FATTY’ AND BRYANT STAR LAUGH MAKERS Appear at Elko Sunday and Monday in Latest Produc- tions—They’re “Great” Two big features, of remarkable excellence, on the same program—a rare 'occurence—are offered as at- tractions at the Elko theatre for Sun- day and Monday. They are the very latest, and most successful entertain- ments in which “Fatty” Arbuckle and Bryant Washburn—both -star laugh- makers—take the leading parts. “The Garage,” is said to be one of the best Paramount-Arbuckle comedies to date, and young and old alike will be delighted with the fool- ish antics of the famous comedian. “The Garage,” tells of Fatty, an employee in a composite garage, jail and firehouse, who is forced to save his boss’ daughter from a fire before the old man finally consents to their marriage. The star is ably support- ed by Molly Malone and Buster Keaton. We're also showing Bryant Wash- burn in “It Pays to Advertise” on Sunday and Monday. This is an adaptation of the comedy which had such a tremendous success on Broad- way a few seasons ago. It’s ripping adventure, romance and comedy. Furthermore it'’s a Paramount-Art- craft. There will be orchestra music Sunday evening. D “His Wife’s Friend” Here. gty % In what is described as a highly entertaining mystery picture, “His Wife’s Friend,” Dorothy Dalton is comli(ng to the Elko theatre next week. proves her versatilitly beyond a per- adventure of doubt. Ruth Budd, popularly known as a star of the vaudeville stage and con- sidered one of the few really “per- fect” women, assumes the leading feminine role of Darwa, the victim of a crazed scientist’s plot to prove the Darwin idea. Ralph Kellard, a Broadway favorite, and other nota- bles appear in a well balanced cast. “A Scream in the Night” is a Select specinl attraction, produced by B. A. artistes and her emotional work Rolfe. THEATRE Matinees Daily 3:00 - Nights at_7:30 and 9:00 BIG THEME DEVELOPED IN MASTERLY STYLE It is a dramatic slice of real life that has been put entertainingly upon the screen in the picture which opened at the Elko theatre last night and again appears tonight in two final runs. Enid Bennett is the star, and the film is’called “What Every Woman Learns.” The title is sig- nificant and means this: A woman doesn’t become really acquainted with the man of her choice until after she has married him and’ lived with him in intimate private life. In jus- tice to the males, however, let us hope that what the woman learns is seldom 80 unpleasant and disillusioning as it was in the case of the gay Miss Fortesque. { Here is a picture that reveals new prowess on the part of Thomas H. Ince to produce a work that is psychologically sound and thorough- ly interesting. He has taken a big theme and developed it in masterly style, with no recourse to cheap comic relief or forced effort to secure a happy ending. The satisfying finale is logical, and the fact that it ends with the heroine in the leading man’s arms is the natural aftermath of the :hrilli‘ng tragedy that has gone be- ore. ety “The Star Boarder,” latest Sennett comedy and about a boarding house, with Louise Fazenda—and more sur- prises in it than in hash—is coming to the Elko. PSP, SR William S. Hart’s newest picture, “John Petticoats,” is booked to ap- pear here soon, at the Elko. PSR O~ S i “Rowdy - Ann,” featuring Fay Tincher, is the title of the new two- part Christie Special Comedy which is showing Saturday and Sunday at the Grand theatre. Bt Lila Lee with Wallace Reid. Lila Lee recently enjoyed a sudden elevation in rank. Screen fans will remember that this talented little player was cast in Cecil B. DeMille’s production, ‘“Male and Female,” as Tweeny, a humble servant girl. In her very next picture Miss Lee was chosen to support Wallace Reid. The film is “Hawthorne of the U. S. A.” coming to the Elko theatre in the near future. Priceless to Patrons ELSIE FERGUSON’S NEW PICTURE. ‘COUNTERFEIT’ Talented Star Is Capable South« ern Girl Who Joins Secret Service and Captures Forgers Another of those beautiful capable heroines which Elsie Ferguson por- trays so well on the screen is the central figure in the star’s new pic- ture, “Counterfeit,”” which will be on view at the Elko theatre Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of next week. The story is said to be novel and exciting, presenting Miss Fer- guson as a southern girl who to re- plenish her family’s falling fortunes secures a position in the secret service and rounds up a gang of counterfeit- ers after a series of exciting adven- tures. . The scenes are laid in the sunny south, in ultra-fashionable Newport, and on board a yacht in the harbor of the famous resort. Supporting Miss Ferguson in the chief male role is David Powell, a well-known leading man, whose last previous appearance on the screen in Bemidli was as the suave arch- criminal Arsene Lupin, has a very different role in “Counterfeit.” The photoplay is by Ouida Bergere and was directed by George Fitz- maurice. Mystery and heart inter- est are declared to be pleasantly blended in “Counterfeit.” LSRR SR THE MYSTERY OF THE YELLOW ROOM (Not a Serial) GRAND THEATRE Sunday, Monday, Tuesday.
