The action shows plenty of intense situations, lighten- ed by sudden dashes of laugh provok- ing humor. Buck Jones is a.newly acquired star who set forth:in fillmland un- der the Fox banner in “The Last Straw,” a recent production. His au- . dacious courage makes him master of every thrilling situation. He is a marvelous horseman whose stunts are world famous. OUT OF THE STORM Thru the swinging doors of the most notorious dive on the Barbary Coast g voice broke like some silvery clarion call frem heaven. Margaret Hill put her soul into that.song and the men who: listened at the door recognized it and was thrilled to the heart. Five years later the man was in a'penitentiary. cell, and the woman stood on the the stage of tne great- est opera house of the world. The capricious eddy -of fate that threw them together and wrenched them apart was to plan one more trick— and this time Death took a hand. “Out of the torm”—The Goldwyn special production, taken from Gert-: rude Atherton’s famous story, ‘“Tow- ers of Ivory” with an all star cast in- <cluding-Barbara Castleton, John Bow- ers, Sidney Ainsworth, Doris Pawn, W.

MAY ALLISON GLAD ¢ TO PLAY IN PRAMA In “The Cheater,”’ May Allison’s newest Metro production, now being shown at the Rex theatre, this beau- tiful star believes she has been given her greatest opportunity since she entered motion pictures. She was elated when Maxwell Karger, Metro Director General told her that she could -play the miracle girl in “The Chesater,” which was adapted by Lois Zellner from the celebrated stage play ' of *Judah” by Henry Arthur Jones. “If gives me the chance that I have wanted for so long,” said Miss Allison. “This is, to play straight drama.. 1 have been so successful hitherto in comedies that I had be- gun to fear that I should be con- demned to play them for the remaind- er of my career. “Not that I don’t like comedy work. I enjoyed ‘Fair and’ Warmer’ and ‘The Walk-Offs,’ but all the while something inside seemed dissatisfied —It'was my yearning to express the deeper-human emotions. Then along came:‘The Cheater,’ with its splen- did leading role of Lily Meany, the vulgar sinner who almost becomes a saint.thru the regenerating influence _of the'man she loves.” Miss Allison is an actress of such versatility that she chafed under the mnotion of playing only such light and butterfly types as her blonde beauty and girlish charm Would ‘naturally .suggest. <Her part in “The Cheater” riding’ call for emotional power and a deep undertanding of the psychology of a woman's soul.—Mr. Brinkman. How can May Allison be at Bemid- ji at the Rex, when she is :at.the Strand in Minneapolis for this week. Easgy. ;Come and see..

Thereforermoving -picture patrons will look forward with keen antici- pation to his latest “picture, “Riders of -the Purple Sage,” which will be shown at the Rex theatre for one day, Saturday. ‘Adapted from Zane Grey’s famous novel of the same .name, ‘“Riders of the Purple Sage” tells a story that breathes all the ruggedness, virility and vastness of the great west in the early pioneer days, and affords Mr. Farnum an_exceptional opportunity: to portray those sterling qualities of manhood which have made him pre- eminent among stars of the screen. Its scenes laid in Utah, in the days when unscrupulous leaders of the Mormon church were trying to spread the temet of polygamy, this great photoplay tells of the abduction of a girl by a dignatary of the Mormon church, of the long hunt of her bro- ther for the guilty man, and of the final settlement, wheén Lassiter, -8 played by Mr. Farnum, avenges the great wrong on the honor of his sie- ter. & Startling gun duels, thrilling rides along the edge of frowning cliffs, ginister intrigues, and sensational revelations of the. mysterious prac- tices of the early Mormon elders—all form a tremendous sweep of action that mounts into a tremendous cli- max, when & hugé rock is dropped down a narrow gorge to crush a body of horsemen that are pursuing a man and girl. but the rock seals up the narrow val- ley the man and girl forever. - Runing thru the picture is an ab- sorbing love story that tells of thé¢ great love of a strong man for a good woman.

Heat from the oil warms the oven and does the desired cooking. - Searching for the Point John George, executive secretary of the High street M. E. church of Muncle, who s a “Scot, was listening attentively to a story about twa fish- ermen who had been having good luck fishing from a boat In a lake. They wished to remember the spot where they had caught the fish, but | looking shoreward they saw no land- mark that would assist them in find- Ing the spot on another day. “Finally.” sald the estory teller, “one of them had a happy thought and cut a notch in his boat at this spot.” The crowd laughed, except George, who appeared puzzled. Finally, he, too, burst out laughing. “] was just thinking,” he explained, “what a good joke it would have been on- those fishermen if the next day they were unable to get the same boat I"—Indianapolis News, Ammonia From the Alr, . A syndicate has been formed to es- tablish a nitrogen factory for the man- ufacture of - ammonia synthetically | from the nitrogen of the air, says the Amerfcan Chamber of Commerce in London. The syndicate has purchased the ex- tensive site in County Durham which the British government acquired more than two years ago for the purpose of bullding a factory. The capital re- quired will be $325,000,000. The process to be adopted, says the American chamber, will be on the prin- ciple of the German chemist, Haber. Nitrogen and hydrogen will be. com- bined into ammonia under pressure at a high temperature, the ammonia then being converted into nitric acid or other nitrates as may be required either for the manufacture of explor sives or for use as fertilizers, The horsemen are killed,| titition i# capable of THE POWER OF AROUSED SENTIMENT . By How. SAMUEL R. VAN 8aNT, Past Commander in Chief of the Grand ir_ of the Repudlio, Governor. of .Minnesota, 1901 ‘We cannot close our eyes to the fact that America s facing a crisis. The United States is in_the greatest tar- moil. This is shown by the great num- ber of strikes, walkouts; riots, by the anarchistic, and Bolshevica . propa- ganda 4s well as the well-nigh univer- sal profiteering. As further evidence of this statement I quote from the Honorable Albert E. Jensen of the Belgian Mission, who says: “Outside of Russia the storm center of Bolshev- ism is in the United States.” All these combined present a danger little lees’ than® war ftself. Add to this the high cost of living, the unrest and pessim-: i{sm of our people, one would think- that we all have been shgll-shocked_ and nerve shattered. . Our dangers are not from without, but from within. Can we successtully: combat these dangers? Yes!' The trouble is that we have been living in a “fool’s Paradise.” We have been a great, big, fat, lazy democracy, both unmindful of our duties and obliga- tions.
