MADGE KENNEDY . : @& more successful_comedy than ‘“The ) ed for a record run with the famous’ actress, Clara .« Truth” -which apps Bloodgood, -in the ‘leading role. “The Truth” is stfll held up today, a8 a comedy model play-writing idea to shoot.at. - the story of:a; inherited ‘the. ther. and much more exciting. / With this situation as a startin point, Clyde Fitch wove a plot that mingles laughter with tears and whips the element of suspense to the breaking point. “The Truth” has been made into a motion picture, with the adorable Madge Kennedy in the stellar role, and will be shown at the Grand theatre tonight and TLu1s- day. - REX TQNIGHT “The Jack-Knife Man,” a King Vi- dor production released thru the First National at the Rex last times to- night . ‘ The scenes of this picture are laid f along the banks of the Mississippi rived, embracing a quaint little ham- T e let and a colony of shanty boats. The characters are said to he the most “untisual oneés ever presented to screen followerd, and are guaranteed to be authentic in every detail as the au- thor, Ellis Parker Butler, has writ- ten of a class of people that he knows intimately. ; ““The Jack-Knife Man"” is a homely ] human interest story dealing with i the adventures of a kindly old soul i ‘who loves his fellow men with a great { | S—— | love that knows no bounds. Hig self-sacrifice and suffering in shield- ing little Buddy, a friendless and crippled orphan waif, furnish a world of humor -and pathgs. Mr. Butler, - from whgse novel the story of the pic- ture is taken, is probably one of the ‘best known American humorists since Mark Twaln. / REAL FOOTBALL GAME PIC- TURED FOR VIOLA DANA Real football was played for the production of “Dangerous to Men,” to be shown at the Rex theatre, for two days, beginning Thursday next, with Viola Dana in the star role. Thru Maxwell Karger, director gen- eral of the Metro, an interscholastic contest was arranged between the When Thunder Roars. e —— @don’t rush for any shelter. - Remember that any tall, isolated ob- ¢ Ject, such.as p tree or a flagstaff, or even a tall bullding, is liable to at- tract lightning, and for that reason . should be avolded. ? 1If trees are chosen as shelters dur- ing a storm, select a group in prefer- ence to one standing by itself, and avoid the highest. Never run to escape the rain, as a flash is likely to be diverted to the vi- elnity of the air thus set In rapid motion. g In a house, keep away from open windows—it is best to shut them— and fireplaces. It is safer to be soaked by the rain than dry under an umbrella; wet clothes will he chosen by the light- ning in preferenve to the wearer, and the wearer In preference to his dry clothes.

Sections of rooters, well equipped with nofse-makers, a goat moscot, a uniformed band and a corps of cheer leaders for the rival schools added genuine gridiron atmosphere to the affair. Four cameras were used to photograph the scenes. On one occa- sion the game was so exciting that one of the cameramen forgot to stop cranking when the signal was given. | In the stage plav. “Eliza Comes to Stay,” by H. V. Esmond, from which A. P.Younger made ‘Dangerous to Men,” the little country girl, Eliza, is sent to a fashionable *“prep” school after the death of her father. This game is the first athletic event she has ever seen. Viola Dana enjoys the contest on location as though it act- ually were her first game. FIERCE BATTLE IS WAGED OVER VALUABLE IRON MINE Iron—mountains of iron—millions worth of the precious ore—is the stake for which fierce Dbattles are waged, men killed and intrigue used, in “The Gauntlet,” a Vitagraph pro- duction which may be seen at the Elko theatre tonight and tomorrow with Harry T. Morey as the star, A syndicate of shrewd and unscru- pulous speculators have discovered the secret of the mineral wealth hid- den under the timber covering of the Laurel Ridge of the Tennessee moun- tains. They try to buy it at first, but the owner and his son, Roderick Bev- erly, determine to find out why the offer to purchase was made. Thru a crafty native in their pay, the syndicate members put every ob- stacle in the way of the investigation, and even arouse the native moun- taineers to lynching fury by impli- cating Roderick in a murder, and spreading the report that he is a rev- enue officer. But a mountain girl, who has re-| turned to her home from the city, has fallen in love with Roderick and she stakes her life and her honor to save him from the death which awaits him. She comes out ahead in the| gamble, and the mysterious syndi- cate is routed thru her amazing dis- play of courage. ~ Spelling by Ear. 3 A simplified spelling soclety In don has dev?elopgl a form of langp with a one sound; one symbol no of letters and digraphs. A sample:of the system In operation is furnished as follows:' § “Wuns upon & tym a rich lord an his wyf had a litt! bol and a Nttl gerl hoom dhal luvd verl much. Wun dal dhe good mugher, bekame vert 11l . In a short tym dhe Pander auiso fel 11l . . If eu doo ¢his I wil give each of eu a purs ov goeld,” The system looks very much Mke spelling by ear. It ought not to re- quire any very complicated system of rules. In fact, many people habitually spell by car without the authority of the soclety’s diction. There are many people who have given up further at- tempt& at mastering English as it is spelled today, and these would wel- come a phonetic reform with great ‘Joy.—Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Charter No. 5582 £ FIRST NATIONAL BANK at Bemidji In the State of Minnesota, at the close of business on’ September §, 1920.
