Kaufman, one of the collaborators of “Someone in the House," the Broadway stage success, presented by Metro on the screen with an all- star cast. That the public of today in spite of the many altruistic theories and Spartan beliefs so freely promulgat- ed does not yearn to have those stern @vciines carried out in their theatri- cal offering is well known to the pro- ducers.

The public is a loving public when it comes to the theater.” and Joseph J. Dowling. With Remarks From the General. While I' was a lieutenant in the army at a western training camp we had a parade and divisionalreview before a well-known general, and I invited some girls to see it. We were marching along in a column of fours with another company on each side | of us. We were to keep on this way until we got in front of the genersl, when we were to turri feft and go for- ward, the command to be “Squads left.” I myst have been excited, for I shouted “Squads right,” and, like good soldlers, my company obeyed{ There was great confusion, of course.

Bemidji, Minn o \ ) REX LAST TIMES TONIGHT At the Rex theater last times to- night Dr. Katherine Davis’ great film story off sex contamination entitled “The End of the Road” which was originally produced for private edu- cational showings, is being presented for the firet time to the general pub- al. The discussion amongst doctors, | ministers and women’s clubs in other cities as to the timeliness and value of the truths and lessons which are so vividly pictured in the story, has resulted in their unqualified and aunanimous endorsement of the film as a wonderful power for the moral welfare 'of our young men and wo- men. The leading roles are enacted-by beautiful Claire Adams and the well known Richard Bennett. The photo- play has the approval of the Minne- sota State Board of Health, and in dangers of indiscreet conduct with | contaminated young men, because the | mothers themselves were ignorant of |- thé Jurking peril of venereal diseases. | The best advice given daughters was | strangers in distant towns who have been cured by this or that medicine. But Bemidji’s pertinent question has always been “Has anyone here in Bemidji been cured?” The word of a stranger living a hundred miles away may be true, but it cannot have the same weight, with us as the word of our own citizens, whom we know and respect, and whose evidence we can so _easily prove. 0.
