VAUDEVILLE THIS WEEK. The . four-act vaudeville program Aor Saturday afternoon’ and evenjng this week at the Grand theatre, leans .- heavily toward music and dancing. I | 15 + the most pretentious act th: / . +«;tional. ' 'their act consists’of singing, tal and .and ‘Warren and Wade are billed as novelty comedy ‘entertainers, kqnd iny /instrumental - selections.

This'is whnp- © ever appeared at the local play house. PLAYS THEM BOTH. In “The Shadow of Rosalie Byrnes” which comes to the Elko theatre for two days beginning Friday, there aré two leading roles, and Elaine Ham-| merstein plays them both. . She’ isi twins. In one she is sweet and lovable, the incarnation of perfect: womanhood; in the ' other she is a selfish, un- scrupulous actress who does not hesi- tate to use her sister in any way that will be advantageous to her own advancement. At one time the latter almost gets her sister involved in murder; at an- other she almost divorces her sister’s husband. Those are just two of the developments in an unusual plot, which is characterized by a strong element of suspense effectually main- tained until the very end of\ the pi ture. Y g Miss Hammerstein, it is said, avails berself of on opportunity to do some fine acting, and her beauty was never used to more advanthge i t picture. flmAn ln‘nn/thi:.l’her latest pi i danseur and ? comedy, in two parts, also appears at the Elko, Friday and Saturday. i A _ 'WHAT JACK FROST CANNOT DO Irish humor is proof against the Tigors of the north. The mercury 4in the thermometer may freeze, but the wit of the little Irishman, Barney ‘McCool, flows on freely. Barney McCool is a character in “The Law of the Yukon,” Sharles Miller’s production, based on Robert 'W. Service’s poem, which is this week’s principal offering at the Grand theatre Sunday and Monday. ‘While Barney is not the hero, he is one of the principal figures in this photodrama. He appoints himself the guardian of Morgan Kleath, a seem- ing tenderfoot who wears a “boiled shirt” and creased trousers and who came to edit the first daily of the Yukon country. The early days of the gold rush are well described. There is action dplenty; rhown against a beautiful background of snow-covered moun- tains. T'ge outdo cenes are excep- : ; M"hflzi 8 : of those we read about. The strong v men with their deep hates and loves, the women who made the- Yukon country, are ably portrayed. Telling {. the story here would not be fair.

The treasulrle lies at the bottom of a deep pool call- «Hell’'s Goblet.” 2. ed"\;lxe‘ll have to change that name, said J. Gordon Edwards, the glrecto’r, when he read the script. There's enough hell already in the geograph- fes. There are Hell's\ Kitchen and Hell Gate and Devil’s Jump. And there is a “creek .in the Kentucky Mountains called Hell-1o!:-_Certaln. Seems to me that’s enougyl}»ot hell, without adding to the list. - ‘Willjam Farmun pointed out to Mr. Edwards that “Hell's _Goblét" hap-) pened to be the real name of the pool in question. It is on the slopé of Mount Hollywood, in California. «It ought *neyer to have had such 2 name,” insisted Mr. Edwards. About a weeks after this the com- pany was makiqg the scenes on the slope. The gbm seekers were work- ing feverishly in the stream and Whl- liam Farnum »d}s.Wlliiam-Steele, was «itting on a rock, fishing. As for X Gordon Edwards, he never was less than knee deep in water, and often waist deep. It wasn’t particularly warm water st that. It was a long, hard day. "The whole company ‘work- ing almost from sunrice to sumset, and scenes were shot time after time to get the exact effect that Mr. Ed- wards wanted. Wet to the skin; he was-a martyr to his art. ! But on the way back to H he expressed his opinion. *] guess that place is rightly nam- ad.” he said between sneezés. - “The Indians whq called it Hell’s goblet knew what they were talking about. Still. you must admit that it ooks more like heaven.

RETURN AFTER MANY YEARS Tilefish Again Caught in Vast Num- bers, Though They Were Believed to-\que Been Wiped Out. o Tilefish are a fish with a short but remarkable histor§, writes a corre spondent. Their discovery was. dra- matic. In May, 1879, Captain Kirby of the schooner Hutchings, out of Gloucester, Mass.,, was trawling for | cod off the Nantucket banks. No cod was found, but a large fish, unknown to science, was present in great num- bers. In a very short time 5,000 pounds of the new ‘species were caught. The fish proved to be of high food value and good keeping qualities. There was a big popular demand for them, and huge quantities were caught for three vears. Then the stpply failed as sud- denly as it had appeared. ' In the spring of 1882 the boats failed to catch a single. tilefish. A few days later incoming boats reported. having passed through miles of dead or dying tilefish. They covered an area of 5,000 square miles, and, were estimated to number 1,000,000,000. ] From 1882 to 1915 no trace of tile- fish was found in any waters of the world, adds our correspondent. Scien- tific men were convinced that the fish ‘had been suddenly and mysteriously exterminated. Then, early in 1915, a government boat, in almost the identi- cal spot off the Nantucket banks as that in which tilefish were first taken, fagain caught some of the same species. Again there proved to be vast num- bers of them, an® new. grounds were also discovered along the New Jersey coast. “Since then the tilefish has been caught without interruption, but t| riddle of its strange disappearance for 83 years has mnot yet been solved.— Manchester Guardian. ’ New Meaning of “Intrigue.” The latest verbal importation from France that I have had occasion to re- mark is no more than the conferring of a new meaning upon an old \word. In English “to intrigue” has always meant to plot surreptitiously, whereas in French it was always used (by ex: tension) to indicate the state of puz- gled doubt in which we may find our- selves when we have reason to suspect a surreptitious plot; and this sec- ondary French meaning is now pass- ing over into English, so that we may read in the light stories that run through our magazines, “she intrigued me,” meaning that she puzzled me, and not meaningdhat she involved me in an intrigue. This Galllc secondary meaning will probably force itself inte onr yielding:Anglo-Saxon, and we shall ploying “to intrigue” In either of two different intents. ‘T doubt if this will be to the profit of the language; but protest is idle, since the fate of a nov- elty always depends upon its ultimate usefulness.—Brander . Matthews in Harper’s Magazine, 5 —_— - He Sat Down Quickly. No finer dressed party of men and women ever assembled together in this city than those who took part in the ball given by the bachelors of Sheri- dan to their married friends. Many of the costumes deserve mention, but the Postman is not capable of de- scribing them properly. The supper and refreshments were of the kind that all appreciated, and were served at just the right time by obliging waiters, who seemed to enter into’ the spirit.of the times and make everyone feel satisfled. Only one de- plorable thing transpired at the dance, and it was nobody’s fault. Dr. Newell had the misfortune to lean too far forward when bowing to a lady and tear his pants across the seams.
