BUCK JONES IN “JUST PALS.” Buck Jones in_the William Fox production “Just Pals,” a drama o the wheat country from a story by John McDermott, is announced as the feature attraction at the Rex theatre beginning Wednesday. The scenes are laid in a small town on the border-line of the wheat and cattle countries. It deals with the lives of a dejected “nobody,” a bay waif, and a beautiful school teacher, who, become united through circum- stances that constitute what has been described as a’ most appealing story. Buck Jones is seen in the part of Bim, the “nobody”—a ne'er-do-well who at heart is courageous and chiv- alrous. Jack Ford is the director and the cast includes { miliar names. FARNUM IN “THE SCUTTLERS” REX, TODAY AND TUESDAY A thrilling story of the sea, “The Scuttlers,” a big William Fox produc- tion with William Farnum as the star, will come to the Rex theatre today and Tuesday. The great popularity of Farnul grows gréater with every picture in| which he appears. And there is good reason for this. William Farnum’s pictures aré always entertaining and full of red-blooded thrills. Farnum represents man as we all wish to see him—a man who fights for right, who{ battles against injustice, large and small. In “The Scuttlers” he has a beau- tiful baclground for his work, most of the scenes in the play being on bogrd ship and on a desert island. ackie Saunders is the leading wom- an in this picture and her well known ability assures us excellent work. Some_older favorites also are in the cast. For example, there are Hersche] Mayall, G. Raymond Nye, Harry| Spingler and “Kewpie” Morgan. | The story of “The Scuttlers” is| by Clyde O. Westover. Paul H. Gor- don Edwards directed the picture. “SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT” —ELKO—LAST TIMES TONIGHT Cecil B. De Mille’s latest produc- tion, “Something to Think About,” is different in theme from anything he has attempted in the past. He has expended his artistry upon an in- tensely human story of real folks. “The result is a picture in every ies- pect up to the usual De Mille stand- ard. “Something to Think About” . will close its run at the Elko theatre | tonight. The story, written by Jeanie Mac- pherson, centers around Ruth Ander- son, daughter of the village black- smith. A rich man, David Markley, lives in the neighborhood and, be-! coming interested in Ruth as a small girl, sends her away to school. She returns a young and beautiful wo- man, and it is understood that she and Markley are to marry. On the impulse of the moment she elope: with a youth of the village. Her husband, killed in an accident, leaves her destitute, and, returning to he: native town to find her father blind- ed, she is in despair, until a series of dramatic events leads to her recon- ciliation with Markley. A cast that is practically all-star interpret ‘“‘Something to Thin About.” Gloria Swanson has the role of the heroine and proves that she is just as effective an actress | gingham as she is in fine clothes. The picture marks the return of Elliott Dexter to the screen as leading man. Theodore Roberts is admirable as the old blacksmith and Monte Blue has an important part. The picture is a Paramount super-feature and is presented the Elko with delight- ful musical accompaniment of the ‘popular Elko orchestra. “THE DAUGHTER PAYS" AT * ELKO BEGINNING TOMORROW Elaine Hammerstein, iii her latest Selznick picture, “The Daughter NEWS OF THE THEATRES terious abode: of a”"Rajahi, consents Miss | portingcast includes Arthur Edmund Pickfgrdjiseeking a place in which to | Carew, Christine Mayo, Gerald Pring, change. lier costume, asked if a spare|Adele Farrington, Virginia Caldwell, room could /be secured in some build- [ Nicholas Dunaev and Virginia True by 2@ The village storekeeper, | Boardman. f|leading parts opposite many of the T to enter the realm of the latter and in ashort timé finds herself unable Claire Anderson and-J‘ay Belasco play the leading roles, and the sup- Katherine Reed adapted the. story Hastings Bradley, and Henry Kolker - PLAYS “MADAME X" One of the strongest companies tonight and tomorrow at the Grand | of Jacqueline Floriot, whois tried for murder as ‘“Madame X", under which name she is registered at the prison because slie refuses to reveal her identity.

UNMARRED BY PLOW’S TOUCH Rolling Plaing a Scene of Great Beauty Before the Advent of the | Agriculturist. Seventy years ago . . . Indians were Indians, and the plains were the plains indeed.

An Infinitive is said to'be split when an adverb or adyverbial phrase is in- serted between "lo" and the infinitive, as “to readily see;" this construction is not considered good English. As & sign of the possessive, “‘of” may be the equivalent of the apostrophe “s,” or it may be used with the apestrophe “s” in a somewhat different meaning, thus: A saylng ‘of Wilson might mean “a saying about Wilson,” while “A say- ing of Wilson's” would be “one of Wilson’s sayings,” said by Wilson him- self. You could say “This is a hat of my father's,” meaning one out of his “humerous hats. The English language avolds the\ise of the genitive sign “of” whenever possible, preferring the apos- trophe with '“s,” my father’s hat.” * REDBY AND RED LAKE 1 Bk ok ok ok % bk The Christmas tree and celebra- tions at the Cross Lake, Red Lake and Mission schools, was enjoyed by practically all the Indians on the resefvation.

Banks and bankers give much time and attentiorf to the training of their apprentices. The head of a big down- town institution was once giving a lec- ture on the work of the paying teller and, as Homer occasionally nodded, this man felt justified in lapsing, to-! ward the end of his talk; into an in- formal narrative of some of his early experlences. “He told of the natural reluctance of a bank to refuse to cash a check for one entitled to the money who might not be fully or regularly identified and of various ways in which an experienced teller satisfles himself of an applicant's good faith. | “Once a charming young woman pre- ' sented a smill check at my window,” sald the speaker. “She was transpar- | ently hgnest, but had no acquaintance in the bank nor any letters or other | papers with her. I asked her if she had a handkerchief or some article of Jewelry marked with her name or ini- tinls. After a moment's deep_thought her face brightened and she asked: | “‘Would an initialed garter buckle | do? ™ In the tumult that followed a bud- ding financier near the back of the room raised his volce to ask, in a tone | of detached scientific inquiry: “Did she get the money?" ) “Young man,” answered the great one, “I have to remind you tbat a bank's relations with its clients are often highly confidential.”” — Wall Street Journal.
