These two part com- edies have not been numerous of late, and when one is announced for showing, it means a comedy treat. PECULIAR SITUATION IN EARLE WILLIAMS FEATURE A prologue quite naturally comes irst in a novel, a play or a picture feature or it wouldn't be a prologue. And it follows quite naturally that this is- the author’s first effort. But, thru unusual circumstances, the pro- logue for “‘Capjain Swift” the Earle ‘Williams feature which will be shown at the Elko theatre tonight and Saturday were the final ml‘fl taken. Thus again is the first last. ‘The prologue in “Captain Switt" {8 laid in the bush country and hot sands of Australia. The story prop- er has England for its locale. Mr. Willlams happened to be in New York finishing up “The Fortune Hunter” when ‘‘Captain Swift” was selected as his succeeding feature, and consequently the picture, so far a8 possible, was made at the Brook- 1yn studio and In and around New York city. The weather had been severe. ‘There was several feet of snow on the ground when the time came to ‘“shoot” the prologue, and warm weather scenes were quite im- possible, so the star went back to Vitagraph's California studio and the picture was completed there. Two directors had a hand in making the feature. Tom Terriss directed.in the east and Chester Bennett in the ‘weat. SAN FRANCIECO'S UPPER AND LOWER CRUST IN PICTURE How the blunder of a young doctor in needlessly cutting off hoth his legs when he was a little boy, so embit- tered a man, that his life became a cunning campaign of hate and de- struction for society, is the graphic theme of “The Penalty,” the new Goldwyn Picture by Gouverneur Mor- ris, which comes to the Elko theatre for three days, commepcing Sunday. “Blizzard” (Lon Chaney), broods always over that terrible moment when, after the accident, he was com- ing.out from under the ether and heard the older surgeon accuse .his young assistant of having needlesely wrecked the boy's life by amputating both. his legs. Blizzard has become a power in the umderworld of San arancisco. He lives in an alley on the Barbary coast, San Francisco, where- he is hatching a gigantic plot to loot the city. He also laid a cun- ning plan, laid to cntrap “‘Barbare Ferris” (Claire Adams), daughter of Doctor Ferris (Charles Clary). who is now a great surgeon and whom Blizgard knows as the man who cut oft his legs. “THE FORBIDDEN THING” ONLY AT THE GRAND Jazz -flend, starts the fun tonight, whem|. his_various musical numbers on: the violin, 'saxaphone, trombone, and in- o struments of his own manufacture { will;;bg:seen. at the Grand tonight. © Fay, Healy and Anderson, a clever i trio of comedy acrobats; Corrine and featuring ‘Wm.

It is largely a circus picture, but the circus of the youngsters themselves ‘with their imitations of the wildman, the tattooed man, the Hula dancer, the Egyptian charmer and all the rest. “My idea of the perfect motion| picture production,” says Wm. 8. Campbell who directed “Four Times Foiled,” “The Overall Hero,” and “The Big Show” is one that recalls to the minds of all of us the happiest momerts of our lives.

You price a hat in one . of the shops in the morning and may be told the price is 2,000 marks. In the afternoon the price is 3,000 marks. Everything is topsy turvy. Everyone whose fortune is made up of polish marks has lost seventy-five percent of their savings thru depreci- ation of the national currency. Laboring people all over Poland find it impossible to live. Numerous strikes are reported daily. Social demoralization is general. Germany’s economic offensive has proven a huge success. However, there is a ray of hope. The Polish cabinet realizes the dan- ger of tHe situation and the new Ministers of Finance and of Com- merce and Labor, Steczkowski and Pranowski, are elaborating far reach- ing reforms. The big Polish banks are cooperating. It's all part of the big problem of ifltgmlug the German-Russian hostil- Y. CARE OF A ROOM NEW CLUB STUNT The care and furnishing of a single room, preferably a sleeping room, in the farm or village home, is.a phase 2f junior club work which will ‘be tak- 2n up this year under the direction of Margaret B. Baker, assistant club lud;r ,with jheadquarters at Uni- versity farm. . This new work will not be a project in itself, but will supplement the gar- gnenc-mnklng work for girls who are in the work the second year, just as ca_be-mnlnng supplements bread work. Girl club members will be encouraged to keep their room scrupulously neat and clean and to beautify it with the things which they can make. The competition in cakemaking, which will culminate at ihe state fair in September, will be between teams rather than between individuals, as ‘was the case last year. ! With the addition of cake-making and care of one’s own room, the bread-making - and garmeni-making projects ought to be more popular in 1921 than ever before. Twenty thousand boys and girls have been en- rolled in Minnesota bread making clubs since the first organization aev- en years ago. In 1913, Minnescta held fifth place among the states for its home-made bread.. In 1913 the state had moved up to first place. The United States department cf agricul- ture and _other organizations that ought to know, attribute Minnesota's prestige. in pread-making largely to the ‘general jnterest creat:d by boys and girls’ clubs of the state. % New Use for Wood Pulp Waste.
