It is generally- conceded that the schoolmaster ‘and the ‘minister of the gospel have a very:important. part to play in the shaping of the destinies of the youth of the coming genera-. tion. . That being so, it ill becontes -a: people to starve these men of high and important labers. The minister has been wont to. take what the people . feel. they can give after everything else has been * taken care of and the school master has been ‘given what the school board feels the public will 'stand _ for without too much protest. The preacher " preaches sacrifice to be sure, and many of his fl?ck are wont to think that a great part of his moat.xm- portant work is to sacrifice. He can’t sacrifice what he doesn't have. The laity are beginning to wake up, however, but not before the commercial world have started to bid high for the services of the clergy for their responsible positions.. It is to the credit of the preachers that so far few have responded to the call of commercialism. The gradual reduction in the quality.and quantity of the teaching supply for our public® schools: is & matter for most serious’ consideration ‘and’ even - alarm. An investigation has recently been made by a competent committee in Chicago to find what the graduates of' the city -high school take to: for 4 living. * Of five hundred young women -who were: graduated from Chicago ‘igh schools-in.one season, four went into musical comedy choruses, thirty-four were married within a year after graduating, ‘two | hundred and three went into business and two _this exodus cannot now be felt. .~ probably. ‘be needed’ to bring:that to:light. i sooner- our cities and commonwealths appreciate : terial- lines ‘of: municipal and state-development.

Wireless Girl Draws Crowd in Tele- pathic Stunt. i The Grand management, in intro- ducing to its patrons a new departure from the usual program of- all mo- tion pictures in the form of a legiti- mate vaudeville. act, has been ex- tremely fortunate, in that. its act is one of high class. Miss Jean Dawn, “The = Wireless Girl,” affords a clever act of ‘socall- ed mind reading, which is delightfully entertaining. The audience is solic- ited before and during each perform- ance by Miss Dawn’s assistant, who passes out to persons desiring. to do 80, tablets upon which to write ques- tions for Miss Dawn to answer, Blindfolded, she is seated before.and in plain view of the audience, and without suffering herself to go into a “trance” or hysteria, as is com- monly employed by mind readers with which to hoax an audience, she takes up the questions one by one and an- swers each, despite the fact /‘that the writtén question itself reposes in the hand or pocket of its writer: Miss Dawn’s answers are clever, and ‘many of. the: witty, much to the enjoyment of an audience that waits with baited breath for each reply. She not only takes up such ques- tion er limited time allows, but usuall; scribes its writer,. which also furnishes ‘much enjoyment’ for the audience. It is understood that Miss Dawn is being paid $300. for & week’s work at the Grand. Miss Dawn will answer. questions| each evening for th of the wee! REX TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. Of special interest. comes the:an- nouncement from-the management of the Rex. theatre, that arrangements have been consummated for-the pre- senting ' for two days, commencing Tuesday of Joseph Arthur,s spectac- ular melodrama, “The- Stilk Alarm” which is being presented as' 8 motion picture by the Pioneer film corpora- tion of 'New Yerk city. g _Many ‘a grandfather has been car- ried ‘back 'to his boyhood days by the romantic love scenes between Jack Manley, of the fire engine company, and-his sweetheart, Eleanor Fordham, and remembers the scenes. of his boy- hopd ‘as’ he watches -the villainy of| “Bird” or the great climax fire scenes that took place in the eighties when Harry Lacey packed: 'the - thesatres throughout ' the countiy ' with 'g;: thousands ' who clamored to see - great thriller. AL The theatre of the spoke; ;&n;n the ture itself " is reflected d@pon the screen, and in the film interpretation of this great melodrama, all of the human pathos, the romantic moments, ang - the. smashing climaxes are pre- sented with a bewildering reality. The burning of . the laboratories, the ex- plosion of the chemicals; the falling] walls, and the, thrilling. escape,- are presented. in a most graphic manner. The homre-of Jack: Manley’s sweet- heart is set. afire in the ‘dead’ of] night after the -signal wires have been| cut ‘at the fire barn. Jack knows nothing .of the girl’s. danger until there comes “the still alarm”; then the call of the firemen; the maddening race for life by the fire department; the girl imprisoned behind: walls' of flame; rescue cut.off as the statrway falls in a heap of ‘ruins; the crumbl] ing balcony.; . Climax.follows climax until love triumphs. FAIRBANKS’ PICTURE HIS BEST YET—REX LAST TIMES TODAY: If it is reasonable to judge a pic- ture’s success by the attendance it draws, “The Mollycoddle,” ‘Douglas Fairbanks’ latest photoplay for Unit-|. ed Artists Corporation, which is at the Rex theatre is destined to qualify as a sensation, . People in ‘droves awaited entrance to'see the produc- tion after-the: first performance and from advices from' other-communities similar conditions prevail. The production is typicl{ of Fair- banks. The star does'the things he knows by past experience that-he is most ‘successful in doing. His smile is ‘ever there. His theme has real worth. . The story is the type that has pleased in the -past and the spirit of the whole. thing is the wholesome Fairbanks spirit. ! The production is unusual chiefly by reason of the huge outlay of fun ithat has accompanied its making. There are countless sets, every. one of them involving a.great expenditure of money and made with a careful regard to detail. There are excep- tional exterior scenes. There is ex- cellent photography, masterly cutting and a_resulting continuity that pre- vents the least momentary drop of interest. PO Fairbanks fans who always insist upon. getting as much of “Doug” as they possibly can, can find' in- this photoplay amhour and a half of keen enjoyment with scarcely a.fraction of & minute ‘slipping ‘by without some- thing typically 'Fairbanksian being enacted, while they revel in laughter, yells; -shrieks. and other ‘noises -and thrills to the points: of shuddering. In: “The ‘Mollycoddle,” Mr, Fait- banks is supported by‘a new leading lady, Miss Huth Renick, who is very charming and attractive for a ner. * Wallace Beery as the villain' in this ‘picture does'the best work of his |NEW WALLACE REID PHOTOPLAY: TRAVELS AT A'LIVELY PACE There is never an idle or sad mo- ment in :Wallace; Reid’s. new. screen farce “Sick Abed,”. which opehed a. three aays’ run-at the Elko thea- ter last. evening. ; The story is frankly for entertain- ment’ purposes. only..
