THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER ‘A CHILD FOR SALE” AT i REX. LAST TIMES, TODAY Ivan Abrahamson presents Gladys Leslie and Creighton Hale in his dra- ‘matic thunderbolt, “A Child For ale™ which shows at the Rex thea- ter last times tonight. . Mr. Abrahamson has taken for his theme the crying shame of our coun- try and is to date the only play- wright and director who has taken the trouble to delve into. the eco- : ic aches and ills of our great niddle class ‘“‘the white collar fra- ternity, the dlass that neither has the great wealth of the capitalists nor. yet the skill of the laborer and #till acts as the cement that.holds| these two tremendous inmstitutio capital and labor together. He tells his story so graphically. and 8o convincingly that with .the opening of the first reel the attention of the audience is 50 deeply engross ed that every individual lives with | the players.on the screen, feels their Jjoys and .suffers their sorrows. 1t 1s the opinion of the reviewer that’ instead of setting down the story as it is told on the screen for the “benefit of our readers it were hest. that everyone who can manage to see this remarkable film see it at the Rex theater and-judge'for him- self.

Acoordng 'to all pre-view reports the story unfolded in “The Scoffer,” Allan Dwan’s latest contribution to the'screen, is'one of the most tremen- dously human of recent productions aid the momentum Wwith which the series of exceedingly interesting in- cidents move forward is described as *an myalanche of life’s truest truisms 50 presented as to-entertain royally.” “This photoplay is booked for a show ing at the Rex theatef~Thursday and Friday and there can be little doubt a8 to film's popularity here since this community contains its full quota of real lovers of the human side of life. Shortly after - completing *The Scoffer,” Mr. Dwan lssued a state- ment in which he announced that he hed made every possible effort to avoid the theatric in presenting this theme and he publicly thanked the members of his cast for the success they had dchieved in co-operating ‘with him in making the whole lpro- ;duction’intensely human. 'Since the ‘story concerns a physician of unim- peachable character, who, tlrough a cruel prank of - fate unknowingly inarries a farmer mistress of his bos- gom" friend ‘and fellow-physician,: a man‘absolutely devoid of scruples. it resolves itself into a big tidal wave, of-all the emotions conceivable, espe- cially when: it is entirely through the villainy of the ‘bad friends,” that the goodi man has to serve five years in prizon, for a crime he did not cmn-§ mit. . As an ex-convict, the unfortu- fiate docior g at first a scoffer-of all that's good—he cannot understand ‘why: he should have been the innocent victim when according to common and altogether erronmeous. belief so many of the guilty escape unscathed. But that the hand which alds and comforts all good mortals has not been withered, is finally brought homie to him through the devotion of a good woman and the manner in which this is brought abbut is' said to greatly augment the value of the narrative as a human document. “THE INSIDE OF THE CUP” MAKES HIT. AT THE GRAND A remarkable picture, filled with exceptionally dramatic scenes, the story ‘thoroughly human that was the verdict of a big audience which | witnessed the first display of “The Inside of the Cup” at the Elko theater last night. The opinion was a just one, for this Paramount-Cosmopoli- tan preduction is one of the best seen at ‘this theater in many months, ‘When Winston Churchill’s famous novel of the same name was publish- ed in 1913, it was bitterly criticized by clergymen as being an unwarrant- ed attack upon the cloth. While the| (hilosophy of the novél is exploited to some extent in ‘the picture, this necessarily ‘has been subordinated to! the dramatic interest of the story it-| self the result being a delightfully captivating picture, which will please: almost any film fan. The picture which was excellently produced by Albert Capellani, and the players chosen for the various Toles, are far above the average in point, of intelligence and artistry. | ;The impersonations by William P.} #Carleton, leading man, and Edith]| Haflor, leading woman, were bril- liantly sustaned. Mention should | be made of the efficient support given | by David Torrence, Jack Bohn and! Marguerite Clayton. | “THE CHARM SCHOOL” AT ELKO THEATER TOMORROW Titles of motion pictures are some-! times faid to be misleading, but the «new Wallace Reid Paramount pic-| ‘ture, *‘The Charm School,” which will be shown at the Elko theater tomor- row, aleo cn Wednesday, is all that the title implies. It is a real charm picture, and its charm les in several| noteworthy features. First there is the work of the star, then the delightful story, a brisk, modern, breezy tale of the light com- edy type, written by Alice Duer Mill- | er, and the splendid supporting cast, | headed by dainty Lila Lee and in- cluding such favcrites as Adele Far- tington, Beulah Bains, Edwin Stev- ens, Grace Morse, Patricia Magee, ‘ Linccln Stedman and Kate Toncray.

SAUCY COSTA RICANS HAVE ETERNAL:SPRING (By United Press) Washington, April 11.—School teachers . are more mumerous than soldiers.in Costa Rica according to ‘Teports from’that country in a bulle- tin dssued today by the National Geographic society here.. The trouble between Panama and Caosta . Rica, which has stopped’ by offers from the United States to mediate, has brought the little Central American republic to_the. front. ¥ ‘Although appropriately equal in area to, West Virginia, the great ma- jority of the half million inhabitants of Costa' Rica live on a mountain fringed- plateau ‘§0- miles square, in ‘the center of the country. The re- glons, bordering : Nicaragua on ‘the northwest and Panama on the South- enst. are “almost -uninhabited except for Indidnss : Practically all of the original In- dian inhabitants of Costa Rich were exterminated when the country was taken by the Spanish and the popula- tion has, for that reason, remained prédominantly Buropean. This is in striking contrast ‘to most, Latin-Am- erican countries where the blood of Spaniard and Indian has mixed. More than 105,000,000 bunches of bananas are exported yearly from the ‘country, mostly to the United States, and: thig, -together: with coffee cultl vation, has made Costa Rica very prosperous.. A high percentage of the (population are - land -owners’, the farms being:{or the most part small in area. The central plateau. has a olimate of “perpetual -spring and is from 3,000:0:4,000 above sea.level. Mistake Made by Many. Too many people take themselves too serlously,” and can't undéxstand why their estimates of themselves are not accepted by others. Consequent- 1y they “take it out” on others when they might do much better by taking some things out of themselves, There's too much persoual -“inflation.” Wedding Ring Finger. Whatever the fashion may be about wedding rings, the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer says: “The priest, taking the ring, shall deliver’it.to the man to put on the fourth tinger of the woman’s left hand.” Less Expectancy of Life.

No less than 11,400; applications’ were recently re- ceived: from girls for admission to two ‘higher schools in Tokyo, which is far'in excess of'the number usually recejved. . The Yomiuri, a Tokyo:daily, says: {“It is necessary to give the vote to. women because ‘the members of the | Diet, ‘when elected by ‘men' alone, do not try to enact legislations favorable to women.
