This marks Jack Hoxie's first ap- pearance as a star in feature pictures, he having previously been starred in serfals, notable among his successes being “Lightning Bryce” and “Thun- derbolt Jack.” ‘“Thunderbolt Jack’ proved to be one of the biggest serlal successes ever produced and establish- ed Jack Hoxie as one of the most fearless and daring of serial stars, be- sides ability to do “stunts” riding' and other deeds of strength that are re- quired of a special star.

The news from Hawali indlcates that sclence has at last found the sure and systematic way to the cure of this world’s most appalling disease. Of the 142 former lepers who have been pa- roled frow. the Kalibi hospital in the last two years none has been sent back. It 1s peculiar that the plague which has troubled the world at least sixty centuries, and probably much longer, should eventually be controlled by one of the.oldest- remedies ever used for it. To modern science is due the dis- covery ‘of the bacillas of leprosy, but its cure is accomplished with refined chaulmoogra oil; the essence of an In- year in “Black Beauty,” which wilk be shown at Elko theater tonight, also Tuesday matinee and evening. The original story by Anna Sewell has been the most popular wogk of fiction for over forty years. Today it is the eighth best seller of all books published. For years this work was considered impossible to pictur- ize because of the lack of connected story in relation to the human char- acters, Only that part of the human story that came within the vision of Black Beauty was related in the nar- rative. ‘The inside story was im- plied; but for years no author felt dqual to the task of supplying the missing link., It was thought by many to be impossible to add an in- side marrative and still 'keep- Anna Sewell’s story intact. It remained for Lillian and George Randolph Chester to devise a means whereby ‘both partied might be united and yet have each independent of the other. This has been tried before in pictures, but was unsatisfactory owing to faulty treatment. ‘‘Black Beauty” is the first film in which this unique method of story telling has been suc- cessfully achieved. One of the largest and most ex- pensive casts ever assembled for a single production has been engaged for “Black Beauty.” Jean Paige heads the list of players which in- cludes James Morrison, George Webb, Bobby Mack, John Steppling, Adele Farrington and Charles Morrison. “TW0 WEEKS WITH PAY” AT THE ELKO WEUNESDAY Polly Moran, famous the world over for her ‘“Sheriff Nell” comedies, @adds to the galety of nations and the fun of Bebe Daniels’ latest Realart picture, playing the role of an awk- ward hotel chambermaid who has motion picture ambitions. Walter Hiers has the role of clerk at same ‘hostelry, and so it is small wonder that the heroine, a salesgirl, has a very lively vacation when .she stops @t that hotel. ““Two Weeks With Pay,” is the name of the picture’'and it will be shown in the Elko theater next Wednesday and Thursday. “IF ONLY JIM” AT GRAND /TONIGHT AND TUESDAY fThere is no “it” about “If Only” Jim, .the Universal photodrama. is ghowing tonight and Tuesday at the Grand theater with Harry Carey in the, starring-role. It is one of the THest: stories in. which 'the .popular star has been seen on the screen. ‘As “Bruvver Jim’s Baby,"” ‘the nov- el by Philip V. Mighels, the story was rich in dramatic situations, humor and heart interest. As a photodrama it is even better. To begin with, Carey is shown as the most shiftless man in the wild mining camp.

China, when bet- ter days come, can set about the cure of her 2,000,000 stricken. . India has 200,000 lepers, Japan 20,000. And the United States has had a big leper prob- lem 'which the developments in Hawall should soon solve. While the cases of leprosy in the continental United States are few—perhaps not 300—we have thousands of lepers in our island possessions, particularly the Philip- pines. Now that the way Is clear our medical service can go ahead there as 1t has proceeded in Hawail. Temples Reveal Character. People with “bony” temples—the cheek and frontal bones almost cover- lug the temple space—are stolid, non- hoaginative and slow in thought and action. Mo set against those defects, the above type of temples is that which is big, white and flinked with small, well-formed ears. That is the statesman’s temple, the author's tem- ple, the temple of the “big man.” Ora- tors and noted ‘preachers have this temple. The character indicated is Justness, generosity, kindoess and a , | great capacity for forgiveness, .This, too, is the long-life temple. Those with temples, which, owing to the shape of the skull and the growth of hair, look high and unduly parrow, are geniuses, with great incentive power, but of erratic temperament. This type of temple is mot usually a longlife one. “Barbery” and Surgery. The. profession of surgery was sep- aratéd from that‘of “barbery” by an act pasted during the relgn of Henry VIIL: /By this act the barber-surgeons Were forbldden to perform any surgl- cal{operations except blood letting angd tooth, drawing, end the surgeons were not to practice “barbery” or shaving.” "This continued until the time of George IL e 8 Find Old Iadian Canoe. ~An ‘old.
