Ince production of “An Old Fashioned Boy" was shown at the Elko theatre yesterday. The picture proved a typical Ray offering and its comedy touches were heartily enjoyed. It will appear again at the Elko tonight, tomprrow and Tues- ay. Mr. Ray is seen as a bashful young man who proposes to a somewhat snobbish girl, and when she accepts him, takes her to see a bungalow which ‘he has purchased for .ner home. The girl rather resents her sweethedrt’s precipitancy in the mat- ter and an estrangement ensues. But the old-fashioned boy, after a series of comical mishaps, finally adjusts matters and he and his flancee as well as all concerned find happiness. Playing opposite the staf, Ethel Shannon, a film debutante, created a pleasing impression. The support generally was of the best, the work of Alfred Allen, Wade Boteler, Grace Morse. Gloria Joy and the juveniles, Frankie Lee, rginia Brown and Hal Cooley being clever. The picture was. directed by Jerome Storm, while the story was written by Agnes Christine Johnson. “OH LADY.

The prosperity of all industrial nations is based upon petroleum. The peak from which flosts the flag that sym- bolizes the prosperity of the United States arises from a basic foundation of crude oil. b The underlying foundation of this prosperity is lubricating oil, for without this essential product 5 of petroleum, the mschinery of the world would stop and the world’s reserve of lubricating oils, though vast in volume, would last but a few weeks at our present rate of consumption. The next essential factor is kerosene and gaso- line, for without the first, one half of the popu- lation of the world would be without light at night, and without the second, all types of in- ternal combustion engines would be useless, and the automobile, tractor, truck, marine and aviae tion engine would be mere curiosities. If lubricating oil, kerosene, and gasoline were available, but the hundreds of by-products made from the residue of petroleum, were wiped out, many industries would be tlosed and unemploy- ment would be general, for in nearly every in- dustry one or more of these by-products are necessary in the manufacturing processes. Thus is visualized by an extreme presentation— purely imaginative—of what might happen if petroleum, or any of its major _derivatives, were wiped out over night. Also it shows the im- portance of the work the Standard Oil Com- pany (Indiana) is doing in helping supply one of the basic, economic needs of the nation, and emphasizes the importance of the service the Company renders in promoting the comfort, health, and happiness of the individual citizen.
