OF THE THEATRES POVERTY CAUSES YOUTH TO JOIN WICKED PLOT Smuggling long hall ceased to be an occupation for gentlemen in Eng- land when Senor Joaquin Santos con- ceived. the idea of looting a-treasure ship at sea, carrying Australian gold. The adventurous spirit of his ances- tors, hnwever, survived in ‘‘Squire” John Rattray, impoverished heir to Rattray Hall. Because of his pov- erty, Lis adventurous spirit and his hope of winning Santos’ lavély step- daughter, Eva Dennison, young Rat- tary gave favorable consideration to the Spaniard’s scheme. He consent- ed-to'join-in- it at last-when assured that the escape of the passengers would be assured. The story is told in ‘“Dead Men Tell No Tales,” by E. W. Hornung, author of “Raffles,” which has been visualized as a Tom Terriss all star special production. It will be shown at the Elko theater for the last time tonight. 4 Santos cared nothing for promises, nor for anything except the attaining of his own ends. So far from seeing to the safety of passengers and crew of the Lady Jermyn was concerned, he intended to make sure of the death of all, acting on the doctrine of “dead men,tell no tales,” and then explain to Rattray afterward. “ONCE TO EVERY WOMAN” SHOWS LAST TIME TONIGHT In “Once to Every Woman,” which is showing for the last time at the Grand theater tomight, Dorothy Phillips again proves clear title to; the appellation, The Bernhardt of the Screen, for in this photodrama she rises to dramatic heights seldom demanded of an actress in the silent drama. “Once to Every Woman” is a hu- man document. Its characters are ordinary mortals, and the homely: at- mosphere of the early scenes, with its pictures of life in a small town, struck a sympathetic chord in the hearts of many in the audience. The story is of a selfish daughter of the household who accepts the sacrifices of the rest of tHe family because she has been blessed With a voice, and when these sacrifices are the means of placing her at the pinnacle of her art, she forgets her humble beginning and those who made possible her suc- cess. But in the hour of need she finds happiness in the old home and learns the value of a mother’s love. This is a “big” production. The settings are magnificent and:the pho- tography flawless. Allen * Holubar again demonstrates his artistic skill as a director in his treatment of the tremendous scenes in this drama. As- gisting Miss Phillips in the presen- tation are Robert Andersen, Ru- dolph Valentino, Frank Elliott, Em- ily Chichester, Elinor Fair, William Ellingford, Mrs. Margaret Mann, and a host of others of equal prominence. “THE WHISPER MARKET” AT GRAND THEATER WEDNESDAY Erminie North, society leader in the American colony at Rio de Ja- neiro, in order to help her husband, the American vice-consul, in his-fi- nancial affairs, and to maintain her social position, becomes the silent partner in a faghionable modiste’s estabiishment. Playing this duai role of matron and business woman, she comes to the unwelcome notice of two blackmailers, and by them is in- volved in an intrigue with an adven- turer. To keep the knowledge of this affair, which is innocent emough in itself, from her husband, she goes to the apartment of the adventurer, in reality a smuggler, and is there trapped in a raid, led by her husband. How she is freed from the meshes woven by nothing but her own devo- tien, taken advantage of by unscrupu- lous men and women, is shown in “The Whisper Market,” which will be shown at the Elko theater Wed- nesday and Thursday. Corinne Griffith, the star, makes one of the most winning heroines of her screen career as Brminie North. George Howard, as the husband, is an effective male lead, while the all-star supporting cast includes George Mac- Quarrie, James O'Neill and.Eulalie Jensen and others. “SOMETHING DIFFERENT” AT THE GRAND WEDNESDAY How would you like to get up at four o'clock in the morning, start work at five and finish for the day at nine? That is the way Constance Binney and her entire company had to work down in Cuba where the ex- terior scenes for her newest Realart picture, “Something Different,” which comes on Wednesday to the Grand theater, where taken. The weather in Cuba was 8o unbearably hot that it was impossible to work after nine o'clock in the morning. The picture, which was adapted from the book, “Calderon’s Prisoner,” by Alice Duer Miller, is a delight- ful story of a bored New York debu- tante who goes to Latin-America in search of “something different.” Miss | Binney is supported by an -excel-; lent cast including Ward Crane whe has th® leading male role, Crane Wil- bur, Lucy Fox, Mark Smith and Gert: | rude Hillman. “THE OLD SWIMMIN' HOLE” AT REX THEATER TODAY The dream of every moticn pic- ture producer has at last been real-| ized. A six-reel picture has been made without sub-titles. 7This feat signalizes the advent of 1921 as a year in which revolutionary changes in. the are of presenting pluoto-dra- mas may be expected. A delightful phase of the produe- tion of “The Old Swimmin' Hols” with Charles Ray as the star, and now to be seen seen at the Rex the-| ater, is that director Joseph De Grasse adhered closely to ‘the time and locale of James Whitcomb Riley’s poe! m. The production was placed in the exact period when mleyv\wrnte it, and ‘the things which he meutioned are all there—sycamore tree includ- ed. For fortune so willed it that the swimming hole chosen by Mr. Ray is overhung by a'large sydamore. picturesque and inspiring. Lovers of Riley will be delighted with the fidelity to detail in this lat- est Charles Ray pieture. | ’ | “COUNTRY THAT GOD FORGOT” AT REX THEATER THURSDAY| “The Country That God Forgot” is to be the feature attraction at the | Rex theater on Thursday and Friday. This is a story of the Western | wastes. and a man’s love for a wo-|. man, and was directed by Marshall | Neilan, who is probably .one of the | greatest directors of today. Mr. Neil-| an has just scored two distinct tri-| umphs in his lateést productions, “The | River's End,” and *“Don’t Ever Mar-| ry,” and in “The Country That God Forgot,” he brings forth some of his | best. work. & | In this picture he has assembled a | prominent cist which includes;Tom ! Santchi, famous for his portraghl¥in | “The Spoilers,” and now being’star- | red in Goldwyn productions.

AR e e CHORUS MEN TO HOLD " REUNION NEXT MONTH By Harold D. Jacobs. (United Press Correspondent) ! New York, March 22.—The male | members of the original Floradora Sextet will hold a reunion here next month. The girls of that famous musical comedy chorus have been in the lime- light so long—there were thousands it the claims of all are accepted— that their former partners have de- cided to attract a little attention to themselves. % Nobody ever heard of a reunion of chorus men before, so the sextet will have accomplished something start- | ling in theatrical circles by merely getting together. “We don’'t know yet just what ¥e'll do at the reunion, but what- ever it is will be original,” Scott Welsh, who is promoting the event, | told The United Press. “Unlike the girls members of the original members. of thé original sex- tet, who apparently are as numerous as the .people who came over in-the Mayflower, here are only six of us.| 8o the reunion won't ‘be difficult to;| plan.” Y ! | Besides Welsh, who isinow playing | with Fred Stone in Tip Tap, the male | members of the original sextet were Thomas Kiernan, George DeLong, Edward Gore, Joseph Colt and is Hooper. Welsh gave up a job as te-| porter in Elmira, N, Y., to join the gextet. [He soon left the show for a part in The Burgomaster, being suc- ceeded by James Kiernan, a brother of Tom. The latter is still playing in vaudeville in‘ this country and England. Hooper is a producer of musical comedy. Gore, a son of May Robson, the actress, is in business in Salt Lake City. Coit is in the elec- trical eupply business in Wilming- ton, Del. De Long, a banker in S8an Francisco, is believed to be the most wealthy of the six. Margaret Walker was Welch's partner in [Floradora. The other girls, he said were Mary Wilson, Daisy Green, Agnes Wayburn, Mar- jorie Ralyet and Vaughn Texsmith. In promoting the reunion, which will be the first time these men have got together singe 1901, Welsh hopes | to satisfy a question that has in-| trigued theater-goers for years—i “What becomes of chorus men?"” | Peculiar Habit of Eels. The history of the eel is very re- markable, and In some respects unique. Durlng the spring and early summer thousands of young eels sev- eral inches long migrate up rivers from the sea and distribute them- selves throughout every accessible body of".water, whatever its size or character, frequently traveling over land to reach these. Here they remain concealed in the mud or beneath stones, and feed on all kinds of ani- mal matter, living and dead. Many eels appear never to leave the fresh waters- in which they have developed but most. of them after several years, | return to the sea, and enter compara- | tivély deep water where sexual matur- ity and spawning takes place. | Four Stars Cut From One Jewel. | The Four Stars of Africa were cut from- the huge Cullinan diamond, which weighed 1% pounds when dis- #HOW THEY DO Chinese Like New American Devil Wagons Electric Truck Revolutionizes Far East Unloading THE PRIMITIVE | CVINESE UNLOADING METHOD Dunssnwesss unssawess. 5 ¢ ! | | t k AST is East, and West is West, but ‘even' the Far FEast i8 learning the economic superiority ! of the Yankee “modern improve-: ment” in freight-moving as a sub~ stitute. for the straining.. and | sweating of its coolie labor.

Liggett, second in command to General Pershing dur- ing the war, came to a close here Monday. He was automatically ‘retired un- der the age limit after 40.years con- tinuous service in oliveé drab. Since his return from France, after he had led the American first army to victory through the stormy days of the Ar- gonne and then had command 'of the American section in the occupation of Germany, Liggett has been at the head of the Western department of the army. p . Although his name has not been emblazoned in headlines, as in the thrilling days of 1918, none can say that Liggett failed to end his mili- tary career with characteristic ac: tivity. His work since taking com- mand of the western department here has included the reorganiza- tlon of the MexXican horder patrol in | Califernia and Arizona, and import- | ant duties, quietly carried out, in putting the department on a peace | basis. d I Liggett was a product of the ge-| nius factory of-the American army— | the Philippine insurrection, which | followed the Spanish war. It was in that campaign that Liggett, Persh- ing and the late General Funston won their spurs. He served as a ma- | jor with Pershing and Funston and | from that time on the rise of the tamous trio was rapid. | Reading, Penn,, claims Liggett as | its famous son. He was born there March 21, 1857. Twenty-two years | later he graduated from West Psint. | His firet assignment as a second liea- | tenant was with the fifth infantry,’ where he served until 1884 when he | was raised to a first lieutenauey. June 1, 1897, he was commissioned a ca; tain and at the outbreak of the war| with Spain became a major of volun-; teers, fighting in Cuba until peace| was ‘declared. It was then that he | was transferred to the Philippines where his name began to become ! known among those who waich ca- reers of military men. After serving until 1909 as a ma- jor he was made a lieutenant-colonel and a little later a colonel. In 1903 | he put the first star dn his shoulder | strap when he became a brigadier | general, | Just before the United States en* | tered the war Liggett took command | of the western department of the army with headquarters here and in | 1917 became a major general. With | the opening of active hostilities he ! directed preliminary organization | work on the Pacific coast and went | to France with ome of the earliest contingents. | On his retirement Liggett intends | covered in Pretoria in 1904 and pre- sented by the Union of South Africa. 1t looked like a lump of rock salt, and | experts said it would have to be di- | vided in the cutting: The largest por- | tlon was cut in a pear-shaped brilliant and set in the head of the king’s scep- ter.

Surprising as'it may seem, there are 1,700 different varieties of sausages in the world today. All nationalities love certain national dishes, and some form | of sausage Seems included in the cule ine of every ‘country. China makes sausages, and very good omes, from the eastern point of view. Germany is pre-eminently a sausage-eating na- tion. Great quantities of this food are consumed by the people of Latin countrles. In Italy and. Erance. they are eaten more as a relish than as a dish, and the noonday meal often | commences with thin slices ot cold | sausage, flanked with a few olives and a pat of fresh ‘buttef. ' Sausiges in | France are associated with certaia fete days, and a kind of-blood sau- sage is always served. at the Christ- | mas eve supper. Neither. is sausage | a modern food, born of economy and the utilizing of meat scraps. The town of Koenigsburg, Germany, in 1358, celebrated the national dish by mak- ing a bologna ‘sausagé moéré than 60O feet long. Best of All Things.
