“KAZAN” AT THE REX Peérhaps ‘the greatest animal and buman interest story. ever screened ig the picture version of James.Oliver Curwood's . “Kazan," Jvhich opened an engagement at the Rex theater last night to @ capacity house. 'The extraordinary spectacles projected in this picture, which was directed by Bertram Bracken, certainly ‘beggar description~—the remarkable perform- ance of a dog, acting more human than brute, and the’ realistic battle ‘of 'two persons,:omne a girl, with an attacking pack of hungry wolves con- stituting some of the high lights which one could NWever forget. An- other outstanding feature of this pro- duetion is the quite.unusual phatog- raphy, many of the scenes of the snow-clad Canadian Northwest con-~ stituting the zenith of pictorial per- fection. Y Jane Novak'and Ben Deeley, in the two leading roles,~share honors and each gives a merformance in which high art dominates. Edwin Wallock gives one of - ‘the best character studiss‘of an unprincipled ruffian of the Canadian Northland ever por- _trayed. Wildam Ryno, ,as Pierre Radisson, the old trapper, and Ben Haggenty, as his easily misled son, also contribute generously to the ar- tistic interpretation of this popular Curwood story. ¢ “Kazan”'is fascinating, wholesome and refreshing. And it teaches a wonderful lesson from nature to man- kind, 3 “THE NUT” AT THE REX SATURDAY AND SUNDAY An optical feast is promised to pic- ture patrons when Douglay Fair- banks’ new photo-feature, “The Nut,” opens next Saturday, for a two day run at the Rex theater. Acconrding to advance reports re- garding this production, the public may expect to view a real celluloid t innovation. Fo roriginality and nov- ! elty of treatment, this picture is said to excel anythng yet attempted by the ingenious “Doug.” Although no announcement has heen made of the exact nature of the photoplay, it is tnderstood to provide a new type of characterization for the popular star. York office of the United ing, conveys the informution that *“The Nut" deals with the adventures of an eccentric youug inventor who falls in love with a girl in'New York’s hictoric Greenwich Village. “Doug's” adyentures as a g1y hothario ara taid to'involve some of the most amazing and comical complications ever shown upon: the screen. Much of the “‘busi- nees” for the story, as well as data relating to the “locations’ wae gath- ered persopally by Fairbanks during his stay in:New.Work just after his return-from Europe last fall. ! ‘With, Kenneth Davenport, author of the pieca, the star lived two weeks in the famous Bohemian quarters of the metropolis and made an intimate etudy of those eccentric and talented people who live in the Village. It is betleved that as 1 result of these observations the picture-going public will be given the most life- like interpretation of the characteris- tics and manneriems of these remark- woble folk that has cver yet been shown. - 5 Preparations: are already under way at the Rex theater for special prezentatfon of this film. Ssveral added attractions and distinctive numbers are being arranged for. _TOM MIX AT THE REX TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY Tom Mix, noted William Fox star, will ride into town tomorrow with @nother breezy western picture. He will be seen at the Rex theater Tues- day and Wednesday in “Hends Off”, an adaptation of the famous mnovel by ‘Willlam McLeon Raine which was directed by George E. Marshall. Needless to say, being a Mix pic- ture, it is replete with action. Brob- ably one of the biggest things Mix ‘has done, it took more than two ‘ months to film the thrilling incident ©o vividly narrated in written story. Among the big scenes is a stampede of a herd of wild horses, staged with Teal western realism. In the path of this onrushing YOUNG GIRL'S DARING CLIMB i Memory of Heroic Deed Has Baen : Treasured for*Years in Little English Village. A daripg climb was accomplished at Repton, fn Lantashire, England, some ‘ years age, the esploit being kept in memory by a frayed fragment of cord that used to dangle from the eross surmounting the lofty spire of the village church, and which was known Jocally as “Little Bessie’s Rope.” Bes- sie was the daughter of a Repton steeplejack who one day, In a spirit of bravado and in order to win a bet of a few:shillings, undertook to climb to the top of the spire and there don a suit of clothes’ with which be had been presented. True to his word, he fixed his lad- ders on the day appolnted and climbed by their aid as far as the hottom. of “the ig copper ball, which upheld tle cross. Over one arm of the cross he then lassoed a rope, up which he climbed, and afterward proceeded to don the clothes. Next, standing upright, he-started to throw into the air, one by one, his old gar- ments. Suddenly, however, there was & cry of affright from above, followed my a great hush below. The foolish fellow had somehow managed to Joosen the rope, his sole connecting link . with terra firma, and it slipped down and hung suspended from the . topmost - Iadder, 30 feet below.

The crystal, tourmaline, is capable of +attracting small bits of paper and straw io much the same way as am- ber.. This attraction is, of ccurse, due to_an.electrostatic charge. When the crystal is exposed to sun- light of a low temperature it loses its | electrical charge; but regains it upon being liedted again. If it has a nega- tive charge at first, it will have a posl- tive charge when it is rebeated. Several other precious stones exhibit phenomena along this line, but tour- mallne is the most Interesting and spectacular of all. STRONGER HIGHWAYS NEEDED Anything Less.
