HOBART BOSWORTH IN NEWS OF TH BIG FILM—LAST TIME “His own Law” will be the offering at the Grand Theatre for the last] time tonight, and in this picture, un- less we are greatly mistaken, we have found a film that will satisty the mopt critical demand of every man, woman and child. There is comedy, | there is pathos, there is power in “His Own Law,” and to those of youj who have seen Hobart Bosworth on the screen, it is sufficient to say he; is at his best in a part made for his exceptional talents. The story from which the film was ‘built was written by Frank Brownlee, and produced by J. Parker Read, Jr., and distributed by Goldwyn. We ‘have been assured ‘that no stronger offering has come or is likely to come for some time. The play is con- structed about a stirring plot, re- volving about the lives of two strik- ing characters, and the main theme is a man’s sacrifice for his friend. An absorbing love story is involved—a “battle of Hearts.” Some of the sit- uations in the story are scenic mar- véls, even aside from their relation to the swiftly moving drama, which is +in seven parts. ARMY AVIATOR'S FAMOUS FEAT SHOWN IN FILM The most amazing aeroplane “giunt” ever performed is shown in “The Great Air Robbery” the re- markable photodrama of the U. S. Aerial Mail Service, which will be shown at the Grand theatre Saturday | and Suuday. Not one, but several times, Lieu-: tenant Ormer L. Locklear, the only man who ever accomplished the haz- ardous feat of changing planes in the‘ air, performs this breath-taking “stunt” in “The Great Air Roobery.” 1In a skillfully woven plot, the dare deviltry of the young aviator is util- ized to advantage and to further the’ events in an exciting love story of life among the clouds.

A terriffic fight in the cellar of the bandits house, a chase and pistol ~duel over the mountains of Arizona, the blowing up.of a house by a barrel of powder and a hand to hand fight; in the bandits mountain cave are a few of the breath taking thrills to be seen in ‘“The Border Raiders.” This thrilling feature is now being shown at the Rex theatre. If you appreciate real western melodrama don’t miss it. Also showing “The Lost City."” “CARMEN OF THE KLONDIKE” AT REX FRIDAY AND SATURDAY “Carmen of thd Klondike,” which will be the attraction at the Rex the- atre for two days, commencing Fri- day, is without a doubt the best screen drama dealing wih life in the great silences of the northwest which has ever been produced. “The story, which is thrilling and gripping, with suspense running thruout, concerns the adventures of a Middle West vaudeville favorite, a part porttayéd by Miss Clara Wil- liams, who deserts her theatrical ca- redr to go to the Klondike region of Alaska and seek her fiance, Camer- on Stewart, a young altorney, who has gone before her to establish him- self, o On the boat she meets “Silk Me- Donald,” who is famous for his in- famy in affairs with women. Me- Donald is attracted by her and as- gerts in a gage, when she ignores him, that he will obtain her for his own. Upon landing in Alaska, “Me- Donald,” who is well known because he is the proprietor of the gayest amusement hall in Skawag, hurries ahead of the girl, and when she ar- rives at the home of Stewart she re- ceives the greatest shock of her life —due to the trickery of MeDonald. From that moment on, thruout the story, even when she becomes the dance-hall favorite of Alaska, known as ‘“Carmen of the Klondike' ’lo which depth she’ degrades herself in her reckless mockery at life. she be- lieves that Stewart is a traitor to her love and does everything in her power to defeat his aims and suc- cess. The scenic effects of the produc- tion, both in the town of Skawag and in the snow-bound mountains that surround it, are truly marvelous. There is not a moment in the en- tire picture that is not tense with cuspense and replete with thrilling action. At the climax, there occurs the most ferocious, raging hand-to- hand battle between two men which has ever been reproduced on the screen. ‘“‘Carmen of the Klondike” was written by Monte M. Katterjohn and was produced under the direction of ‘Ineglnald Barker. Soecial Added Attraction. Walter Goyne and his eleven dog team of Alaskan huskies will appear in ‘person. JACK LONDON TALE ON SILVER SCREEN Beginning Sunday next, “The Mut- iny of the Elsinore,” the Metro pic- turization’of the famous Jack London novel, with an all-star cast, will be the feature attraction at the Rex the- E THEATRES atre. This picture, which presents the famous London rovel of the sea on the screen for the first time, is a special Metro production with an all- star cast, and will' be the leading attraction at the Rex theatre for two days. G “The Mutiny of the Elsinore” is one of the late Jack Iiondon’s last and most notable works. It is a strong tale of the sea, in which a take over-the control of the ship from there is ‘a charming love story, the thread of whic his crossed by the evil passion of Andreas Mellaire to pos- | sess the beautiful daughter of Jason West, a half-owner of the “Elsinore.” Margaret West is in love with Dick Somers, the captain’s son, and she resents the attentions of Mellaire, whom she distrusts and fears; and Mellaire, to accomplish his purpose of possessing Margaret, incites the crew to mutiny. Firm, however, against the ma- chinations of Mellaire and his rascal- ly henchmen stands John Pike, the Elsinore’s” first mate. Pike has long loved Margaret, too, but the realiza- tion of his age makes him certain that she belongs to a man younger than himself. And so, when the mutiny starts, the iron hand of John Pike raises to quell it. The role of John Pike is portrayed by Mitchell Lewis, and in his support, are Helen Ferguson, Noah Beery, Casson Ferguson, William V. Mong, Sidney D’Albrook, Norval Mac- Gregor and J. P. Lockney. The pic- ture was directed by Ildward Slo- man ,from the scenario by Albert Shelby LeVino. Jackson Rose photo- graphed the production. PLEASING WESTERN TINGE ADVENTURES IN ENGLAND The féature picture at the Elko to- night presents, last time, Earle Wil- liams in “The Usurper,” a story starting with a pleasing Wwestern tinge, shifting to a series of ad- ventures in England where the hero follows, and wins, the girl of his choice, incidentally rescuing her from a disreputable “rotter” with a title. After the wedding the happy pair return to scenes in the west. The action and story is pleasing thruout.

NEED OF FOREIGN MARKETS | New York Businees Man Tells How In | His Opinion America May Control Trade Marts. “If the United States expects to ob- tain its share of the world's com- | merce,” a New York broker was over- heard to say, “it must keep pace with other world powers with which It has to,compete. Trained men are neces- sary in any line of business and for- eign commerce Is one line in which tralning is absolutely essential.” “I believe that the United States merckant marine is again to come into its own,” continues the same broker in the Washington Post, “but the finest lot of merchandise on earth, coupled | with the greatest fleet of merchant ves- sels ever known, is of no avall unle: backed up by the selling ability and understanding of trained men who know how to place American goods in foreign markets. “All the large mercantjle firms are taking steps to traln men speclally for ‘ eash country in which tkey expect to | do business. The prospective salesman | or manager for any particular coun- | try Is educated In the language, his- | tory, traditions and pecullarities of that country, so that he can In a sense | meet the people on thelr own ground. ! He knows just what to do under given conditions and Is of vast value to the firm that employs him. “The bureau of foreign and domes- tle commerce Is doing a great deal of good In aiding In the introduction of | American goods abroad, but I think the government should go a step furth- er and have a regular school for such experts, maintained on the same stand- ing and in the same relation to com- merce in general as West Point stands to the army or Annapolis to the navy. The students should be taught every | possible fact regarding European, Asi- atic and South American countrfes, so | that tley could step forth as experts, each on some particular country. Such | a school would amply repay the gov- ernment in the large increase in vol- b ume of foreign business which would be attained.” SUBSCRIBE FOR THE ; . -~ DAILY _PJONEERl crew of city gangsters attempt to| the oicers in charge; and in addition|’ Ttaly. Northwestern News STEFANSSON TELLS OF CONDITIONS IN NORTHLAND Winnipeg, Oct. 21.—It is deplor- able and ridiculous what the schools of Canada teach Canadian children abeut the northlands of the Domi- nion,” declared Vilhjalmur Stefans- son, the noted explorer, while in Winnipeg, “It amounts to most de- famatory propaganda,” he added. People generally display a lament- able ignorance concerning this coun- try and it is simply due to the fact that they are wrongly instructed when they are children, according to Stefansson. lie pointed out that the opinions of adults a hard to change when they have an idea firmly root- ed in their minds, and explains that the north country is very different| to what people believe. There are 640 different species of flowering plants, and roughly three times as many species of flowering plants as non-flowering plants in the | Arctic country, according to Mr. Stefansson, and he described some of the conditions responsjble for what to the people of Canada, seems anom- alous because of the climatic condi- tions there. | | iIn the north, he explained, therej are two seazons similar to the seasons of the settled part of Canada. Just in the same way as grass can- not grow here fh the winter time the grass cannot grow in the country around and,north of the Arctic cir- cle in the winter. But in the sum- mer time, one can find Kentueky blue grass, which, is the most prev- alent among the vegitation up there. Golden rod, poppies, blue bells, dan- delions, timothy and watercress,” and these plants grow as far north nas any land that has been discovered.” added ‘Mr. Stefansson. Speaking of the development,of the northland, Mr. Steransson predicted that it would be developed in the same way as other countries. He e plained that there are rich resou up there, and when azked if the cl mate would act as a deterrent, r plied, land is mes by its productivity and not by its climate and if a land is productive it will be developed irrespective of its cli- mate.” EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY MEETING AT WARREN Warren, Qct. 21.—Whether or not the Northern Minnesota Educational ociation meeting here tius wee.. 1 be affiliated with the state asso- ciaticn will be determined at th on.
