' NEWS OF THE THEATRES “THE CHALLENGE OF THE LAW” AT REX. LAST TIMES TONIGHT “"William Russell stirred® big audl- ences to enthusiasm yesterday at thej Rex' theatre, in his latest William Fox production, “The Challenge of| -the-Law.” This story was written loyd Sheldon, author of many uccessful photoplays, and was gi- rected’by. Scott Dunlap. The applause which attended the showing of the picture here was con- vincing.evidence that the audiences appreciated a Northwest Canadian \ story abounding in thrills and tense dramatic action. The popular star again has an excellent production, ‘which will be thoroughly enjoyed by everybody. As a Captain in the Royal North- ‘west Mounted Police, Russell puts up @ single-handed fight to smash a des- © perate band of fur smugglers; and this he does in typical Russell fash- fon. He leaves nothing to the imag- ination, but wades right in, accom- plishes his mission, and in the end wins the girl whose love he already ‘had ‘won. It's a rattling good picture, clean and wholesome, with plenty of good comedy and a delightful love story— in fact, an ideal photoplay of the sort generally labeled *“Western."" Helen Ferguson enacts the heroine with delightful charm, and the re- mainder of the cast is excellent, Denison Clift wrote the scenario and the picture was directed by Scott Dunlap. “WHILE NEW YORK ! o COMING TO REX THEATRE Realism and fidelity to detail are two elements on which. the Fox Film Corporation, producers of “While New York Sleeps” makes its bid for the success of this picture. The photo- drama is divided into three acts. The first depicts an enthralling incident which takes place in the home of a suburban millionaire. The second episode, gorgeously invested, presents in pictures a version of the notorious “badger game.” In this act is seen; an entire dancing number from Zieg- feld’s Midnight Frolic, together with scenes from the Palais Royal, a fam- ous New York cafe. The third episode depicts a tragedy of New York’s East Side, in which the tense action revolves about a tig- erish shop girl, a dumb paralytic, his gentle, tenderhearted son and the gangster leader of a band of thieves. In this act occurs a river fight be- tween the New York police boat and a gasoline launch containing memb- ers of the robber gang. The New ‘York police assisted Director Charles J. Babin to film this scene, in fact the police boat was actually manned by policemen. “THE NEW YORK IDEA” IS LIKE HORSE RACE “Why change your husband, since you are practically certain so want him back?” is the theme of ‘“The New York Idea,” which will be shown at the Elko theatre tonight and Thursday, with Alice Brady in the stellar role. 'It cannot be charged that the idea is cribbed from De- Mille’s “Why Change Your Wife,” however, for “The New York Idea” is a famous American satiric drama first played in 1906 by Minnie Mad- dern Fiske, and revived three or four years ago in New York by Grace George. Belmont Park race track on Long Island, the Piping Rock Hunt club and other favorite haunts of the idle rich are used as backgrounds for un- folding of the story. ‘Many colotful scenes were taken around the race track, stands and stables, including a thrilling horse race. It was literally a case of “play- ing the races.” In the entire stag- ing of this picture Realart made lav- ish outlays that place the picture in the class of special features, and an unusually long time was allotted for the making of the film, so that every detail might receive just due. ‘““The New York Idea” is regarded by dramatic critics as one of the keenest satires ever written of Amer- jcan life. ETHEL CLAYTON COMING TO ELKO FRIDAY AND SATURDAY Ethel Clayton, the charming and popular Paramount star, will be seen at the Elko theatre next Friday and Saturday in “A City Sparrow,” her latest photoplay in which she has the role of an Apache dancer. Miss Clay- ton is said to have in this picture one of the most sympathetic roles she has ever essayed on the screen and that its ‘strength and appeal is re- An unusually capable sup- porting company headed by Clyde markable.

" Loujs Martinot, a young French- man, though he loved Susanne Ber- gomat, but, his,conventional French soul hesitated at proposinng to her before he knew what her family was like, ‘ 86/ hé “deputed his friend, Paul Blythe,-to investigate and, if the girl - was found to have worthy parentage, ! _to,propose marriage for him., “"Right then and there began the ‘complications which local playgoers will see when “Her Beloved Villain™ comes to the Grand theatre. For it happened that Blythe was an enter- prising American and when he fell in love with the girl himself he haa no compunctions about writing his cau- tious friend that the Bergomat family were notoriously” high-steppers, loved intoxicants, and that Susanne inher- ited the paental traits! Then he promptly married the girl himself and took her to live in another city, hoping his friend would never discov- er his deception. Susanne loved Blytlre devotedly A n_l_hqunius‘od at his decep- { tiom when she discovered it, but de- | termined to punisn him for it. The ensuing incidents make.it one of the best--.comedy vehicles seen on the screen in -some time: Most certainly it offers .the star, Wanda Hawiey, even better fun-making opportunities than ‘“Miss Hobbs” or ‘Food- for Scandal,” her two preylous Realart features. REAL SCHOOLBOY DAYS IN “IT’S A GREAT LIFE” The imaginat{ve powers of a six- teen year old boy’s mind along with his worship of :a fellow scholar are clearly shown in the Mary Roberts Rinehart story “It’s g Great Life,” being made at the Goldwyn Studios in Culver City, California, under the direction of E. Mason Hopper. It will be shown at the Grand theatre, Sat- urday and Sunday. The Wop, played by Howard Ral- ston, was the willing slave of Stod- dard 111, played by Cullen Landis, his greatest trouble being Stoddard’s fav- oritism for t.e girls. The Wop con- ceives the idea of an Empire with Stoddard reigning as King and him- self as Prime Minister, but is unable to tempt his king. The finding of a pearl in some oys- ters solves the problem of bait to attract Stoddard but necessitates moving the Empire to a desert island’ off the Gulf of California, inhabited by cannibals, because of the pearl fisheries there. Visions of the ex-King offering his choicest wives to Stod- dard, the new King, are conjured by the Wop’s wonderful imagination. pire comes to ruin because of a wo- man.

PAUL South St. Paul, Nov. 17.—The best of Minnesota's calves, hogs and sheep were on exhibit here today at the opening of the third annual Junior Livestock show. The show will con- tinue three days. Hundreds of boys and girls from every part of the state have entries| in the show. A feature of the expo- gition is the dairy calf contest inj which more than 500 boys and girls have groomed entries. Nine hundred beef calves have been prepared by junior livestock raisers for the show. In addition many boys and girls have entered hogs and sheep.

DETAILS OF PUBLIC HEALTH PROGRAM ARE GIVEN 0UT St. Paul, Nov. 17.—Details of the public health work program for Min-| nesota for the coming year were pre- sented to a meeting of representative citizens from every city, in the state here today. Forces are . mobilized for the biggest fight against tuber- culosis and other preventable. dis- eases in the history of the state, it was announced. With the Red Cross Christmas Seal sale now under way and the state board of health co-operating with civic organizations for betterment of health conflitions, the conference was expected to arouse enough enthusi- top" before Thanksgiving. The conference opened with an open forum luncheon under the aus- pices of the St. Paul association. Dr. A. J. Chesley, director of the di- vision of the preventable diseases of the state board of health, was the principal speaker. Better health leg- islation will be discussed. SELL SEALS TO FIGHT GREAT WHITE PLAGUE l (By United Press.) i‘ New York, Nov. 17.—Plans for the tactive participation of the entire Sal- vation Army in the nation-wide Christmas Seal sale set for Decem- ber 1 to 11 have just been perfected, according to an announcement made public today by the National Tuber- culosis association here. The annual sale of Christmas Seals, which is held simultaneously by the 1,200 local con- stituents of the national association, provided the funds for the year- asm to carry the campaign ‘“over the| WILL ATTEMPT TO HOLD By Henry L. Farrell’ (United Press Correspondent) New York, Nov. 16.—Stan Caveles- kie, Cieveland’s star Pole pitcher, had just battled his way thru a wild crowd of jubilant fans into the club house. ¥ He: had just won his third game of the world’s series and pitched the Indians into their first world’s cnam- pionship. The fans were acclaiming him “greatest of the great.” A fan rose from a seat back of the press box, stretched and said rather wisely: “Wiell, Cov, they oughta give you a big hand. It's your last game. It’s true. Coveleskie is thru. He'll never pitch another game like that. Neither will Burleigh Grimes, king of the National league hurlers and another star of the series. They are thru unless the major leagues reverse their ruling abolish- ing the spit-ball this. year. When the freak deliveries were put under the ban last winter, the moguls gave the spit-ball pitcher a season to develop other deliveries. Coveleskie tried early in the sea- son to get along without the ‘‘spit- ter,”” but he was unsuccessful. He wasn't effective with a curve ball and was forced to go, back to his forte. Urban Shocker of the Browns and Jack Quinn, of the Yankees are in the same boat. Bill Doak of the Cards, Fillingim, of the Braves and Phil Douglas of the Giants will have to go along with Grimes in the National league, if the rule it not revoked. Rather than lose such pitchers, it seems probable the Zaluablé hat the Then history repeats itself, an Em-|Club owners will seek to have the home of the flock should be rule amended. \ ! President. Heydler of the National| league, has maintained that isn’t a chance to save the “spit-ball-| ers.” i During the last season campaign was conducted among the players to| have the rule changed. It was suggested to bar newcomers with the ‘‘spitter,” but to permit those pitchers now using the moist delivery to continue it until their career ends. One club owner in each league is said to be ready to come to the aid of the “‘spitters” at the winter meeting of the major leagues.

WILL HOLD REGIONAL EDUCATIONAL MEETINGS (By Capital News Service) Wathington, Nov. 17.—Regional {educational conferences for the purpose of discussing the educational situation at this time, and school measures to be presented to the leg- islatures of the several states the coming year, to the end that needed |legislation be obtained, are to be held, according to Lr. P. P. Claxcon, comumissioner of education in a num- ber of centers during this month and Dzcember. The idea of Dr. Claxton is to afford opportunities fcr those interested in constructive work along scheo! lines to atiend conferences reasonably near to their homes, in- stead, as was anticipated at first of UP-BASEBALL ¢SPITTERS’ ‘there | poultry husbandry, University Farm. | to attend, | Mexico. holding one big conference in Wash- ington. In the elections held November 2 constitutional amendments affecting the future of the public-schools were voted upon in some states. In those cases in which amendments were au- thorized, legislation for the purpose of carrying into effect the mandates of the people will be necessary. This fact, together with the increasing in- terest thruout the ceuntry in the im- provemént of the public school sys-! tem, the broadening of it to the ex< tent that it be the foundation of all primary education in the United States, makes of great importance the educational conferences to be held under the direction of the Com- missioner of Education. CHICKS ENTITLED . \ TO BEST OF CARE Moving chickens from the range to winter quarters would seem to be such a simple maneuver that no one could possibly make(a faulty motion, yet, it colds, roup, canker and chick- enpox are to be kept out of the flock at all time, the young stock cannot be put in winter quarters in any hap- hazard fashion. Conditions in winter necessarily differ materially from those of sum- mer and early autumn. Changes in| the care of the flock should be made gradually rather than abruptly. This can be’'done by taking seasonable ac- tion. Delays are accompanied by dangers, especially when they mean undue exposure. Even the earliest hatched and the most hardy specimens should be in winter quarters a few weeks before the ground freezes or the first snow flies. The latest hatched and small- est specimens should be housed first. Before this, however, the . winter| well | cleaned, disinfected and renovated.— | A. C.
