J — NEWS OF THE THEATRES USUAL HIGH CLASS BILL i OF VAUDEVILLE AT GRAND * The four vaudeville acts to appear in the Grand theatre tonight, in‘con- junction with the new feature photo- . Play, “The Adorable Savage;”. strr: . 'ing Edith Roberts, offers a :mzrqw, that appears to have every, esinb}g .element to be expected ‘of such enters * tainments. Vi " While press agents “often, indulge| ‘in unwarranted praise of this or that feature, in giving advance informa- tion relative to forthcoming attrac- tions, it has been the experience of the Grand theatre management that, as.a rule, the press notices it.re- ceives do not’ grossly misrepresent. For the current week’s vaudeville and picture bill, appearing at t}_xe Grand tonight only, it may be said that to all appearances ,the severalf features, more specifically mentioned | in yesterday’s issue of The Pioneer, will undoubtedly afford entertain- | equally, if not more, enjoyable than that appearing last: weck. The sev- « eral numbers to appear are described| in the Grand theatre advertisement! in this issue of The Pioneer. KATE JORDAN AUTHOR OF . ETHEL CLAYTON'S LATEST| Kate .fordan’s famous story, “A City Sparrow,” forms the basis for Ethel Clayton’s new Paramount pic- ture, of the same name, which will be shown at the Elko theatre tonight and Saturday. The picture presents Miss Clayton in the role of a dancer in vaudeville and burlesque houses. After an acci- dent, she meets a staunch country- man who persuades her to take a rest in the country. L A love romance soon develops and she consents to become the wife of Muir. Realizing that she can mever; make him happy as a wife, she starts| for the city, but Muir finds her wait- ing for the train. She confides»to him the reason for her conduct. He tells her he wants only her, and takes her in his armgs. The story contrasts the smoky city with the refreshing beauty and frag- tance of the greaf outdoors. Walter 1 Hiers has an excellent comedy role, Clyde Fillmore is leading man and William Boyd, Rose Cade, Robert Brower, Lillian. Leighton, Bartine Burkett and Sylvia Ashton are rep- resented in the cast. “HUMORESQUE” COMING HERE Hailed by critics everywhere as one of the really big pictures of the year, the Cosmopolitan Production, ‘“‘Hau- moresque,” will be shown at the Elko | theatre for three days commencing Thursday, next. The story is by Fan- nie Hurst. | REAL SCHOOL DAYS IN “IT'S A GREAT LIFE” | The imaginative 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 !1 dangérous spot whese five main A contests of skill with the lariat; a recorded on the film, will' be inter- esting to persons.all over the try—especially ‘to followers of Western type of story. Incidentally many of Mixs cowboys, who figure iny nqg several succeeded in carrying away first honors. Every puncher en- tered made a good showing, which"is remarkable inasmuch as they were competing against men fresh from the ranges. » | Mix himself served as one of thé judges during the week of fesgvity and .games. Pat Chrisman, a Mix cowpuncher, won first prize for the best ‘appearance at the parade, dnd Ed Hendershott received first money in the star bulldogging contest when he defeated *“Will Bill’”’ Simon, the idol of Yavapi county, by half a second. L d OBJECT ,LESSON ON TRAFFIC Aceident Added Weight {o New York Traffic Policeman’s Order to Pedestrians. On a road on Long Island there is roads come together. It is said that wmore than 100,000 automobiles pzss there on Sunday. A stocky-built lit- tle policeman, known to nearly all New York motorists, stands. there all day long regulating tfaffic. His arms are continually going like semaphores, but ke always manages to sty some- thing pleasant—or caustic—to,| passers- by. This little policeman is very proud fof- his responsibility, and is imperl- ous of gesture. At a busy moment on a Sunday aft- ernoon mnot long ago a pedestrian started to cross the rond among the| turning cars. Out of the corner of his eye the little policeman had ‘just noted the approach of a woman driv- ing a flivver. “Stand back there!” hecalled to the pedestrian.. “Don’t you dare to step off that curb!” This with an im- perious wave of his white-gloved hand. “Stop!” he &gain ordered as the man started again. “There's a woman driw ing a car—never can tell what they'll do!” At that very moment, while the po- liceman’s back was turned, the weman driver became confused, and with a dull plunk her car hit the officer squardly in the back, knocking him down and skinning hig arms and face. Luckily, he was not run over. His dignity, though, was terribly upset. Painfully rising, be brushed himself off, but said not a word to the woman, *Now,” he called eut, shakig his fist at the pedestricn on the sidewalk, ¥now, I reck’n you'll gtand back when I tell you !"—Saturdzy Evening Post. PROFIT GOES T0 UNCLE SAM —_— All Paper Money THat Goes From the Rinehart story “It's a Great Life,” be- ing made at the'Goldwyn Studlos in | Culver City, California, under the di- rection of E. Mason Hopper. It will be shown at the Grand theatre, to- morrow and Sunday. The Wop; played by Howard Ral- ston, was the willing slave of Stod- dard III, played by Cullen Landis, his greatest trouble being Stoddard's fav- oritism for the girls. The Wop con- ceived the idea of an Empire with stoddard as King and himself as Prime Minister, but is unable to tempt his king. The finding of a pearl in some oys- tera solves the problem of bait to at- tract Stodard but necessitates moving the Empire to a desert island off the| ‘Gulf of California, inhabited by Can-| nibals, ecause of the pearl fisheries | there. Visions of the ex-king offering his choicest wives to Stoddard, the new King, are ¢onjured by the Wop's wonderful imagination. Then history repeats itself, an Empire comes to ruin because of a woman. The com- ing of Eloise, the professor’s daugh ter, spoils all plans. § BREEZY WASHBURN PLAY Breezy buoyant and filled with sit- uations that provoke laughter, “A Full House,” says Manager Whaley of the Elko, is made to order for play- goers who like a comedy-drama with plenty of amusing incidents to make them forget the trouliles of a strenu- ous business day. Bryant Washburn is the star while Lois Wilson is his leading woman. It is a Paramount pleture of high calibre, and plays at the Elko next Sunday and Monday, “THE LONE HAND” SHOWS AT REX THEA' The Capital Film cgfiug?%ez sents Neal Hart, the miracle man of the movies, in “The Lone Hand,” & gripping drama of the romantic west with a punch in every inch, at the Rex theatre today only. * ° Mutt and Jeff in “The High Cost of Living” will complete the pro- gram. '“THE TEXAN" AT REX THEATRE NEXT SUNDAY Tom Mix's company, which recent- 1y completed “3 he Texan,’ 'a William Fox production from the novel by James B.

The answer to one and all of these questtons Is, Uncle Sam. Every plece of paper money that goes out from the treasury and falls to return, profits the government to the extent of its face value. If it Is a gold or silver certificate the metal which was placed in the treasury for its redemption is mever calléd forth. If it is a federal reserve note or a national bank note, the securities that have been deposited as a guarantee at the time of its issue, or their equiv- alent, remain in the treasury. So is there solace to the patriot who so loses his wallet that if it is not found by another its. contents are applied to the expenses of the government.

That Miguel Saavedra wrote the im- mortal “Don Quixote” is mot known by many. Ask tbe man on the street the author. This is for the reason that his full name, Miguel de Cer- vantes Saavedra, is not popularly knewn. o He was born on October 9, 1547, and the age which gave Shakespeare to England gave Cervantes to Spain. In 1590 he made an fneffectual appli- cation to the king for an appointment in America, “a shelter for the poor Rils to Return ‘and ‘a refuge for the unfortunate.” From Seville' he moved to Valladolid, and tradition runs that he was impris- oned there as a debtor or a defaulter, and that while in prison.he commenced writing “Don Quixote,” the second part of which did not appear until 1615. Three weeks before his death he formally entered the Franciscan or- der gnd was buried in the convent of the nyns of Trinity, Madrid. There are two events in the history ‘| of Cervantes that are most remark- able: The first that, nominally though not actually, he dled on the same day ns Shakespeare—April 23, 1616—the difference in computing the calendar causing the apparent similarity. The second point of importance coupled with wonder is that no monu- ment was raised to his memory till 1835, when a Statue of heroic pro- portions was cast in Rome and set up in Madrid.—Chicago Journal.

Record Horseback Rides. There is a reliable account given of an Englishman; Squire Osbald- stone, having ridden, in 1831, 200 miles in ten hours. ' In doing this, however, he rode 16 horses and changed every four miles. A wonderful test of en- durance and pluck ‘was the case of Capt. Charles Townley, another Eng- lish cavalryman, who, in 1849, rode with dispatches from Belgrade to Con- stantinople, 820 miles. He remained in the suddle five days and 11 hours without rest, except on one occasion for six hours,and the time consymed in chariging to fresh horses. Twice the horse he rode dropped under him from exhaustion. It was a historic ride, for lipon the event of his arriving in Constantinople ahead jof all other couriers hung the decision of the war, which - by¥%his. accomplishing the feat | was averted. b 5 \ i x i v Land ‘of Fire and Ice.

HAU.LITILE USE FUR BOUKS Friend of Grover Cleveland Boasted That He Practiced Law “En. t tirely by Ear” Grover Cleveland had a friend in his early ‘days as ' lawger, and the friend was’ also a lnwyer; although a lazy one. - Whetiéver it became neces- sary for him 'to iiwe a decisign bearing upon any 'e¢age’ he lounged. in Cleve- land’s office and casually wormed the | desired information out of his friepd’ mental storehouse. Cleveland' was ndt dull to appreciate the fact and' re- | sent the sponging. He resented it chiefly becadse his friend |was cap- ' able of better things, and 'could; if spurred to it, get along qdite well by | himself. One day the friend came in on his | usual errand, and when Cleveland had heard tke accustomed preliminaries to ' the pumping process, he told him plainly that the fount of information | was closed, but said Cleveland to him: “There are my books and you.are quite welcome to use them. You can read your own cases.” The friend, who was an excitable man, retorted quickly “See- here, Trover Cleveland, I want you to understand that'I don’t read law. I practice entirely by ear, and zau ’;pd_ your books can go to thun- er.” Remove Seed Pode, ?
