At variance with the regular run of motion pictures only, vaudeville has become very popular in Bemidpi, especially since arrangements were made with the circuit which sup- plied the last shows and the same which will supply thoee to come. The bill this week promises to come up to standard. Songs, dances, ocomedy, and some clever acrobatics, compose the first offering, with Warren J. Kerrigan in “The Green Flame” as the motion picture. ROY STEWART IN WESTERN PICTURES TONIGHT AT GRAND Roy Stewart, the popular western star who has appeared here in so many of the popular out-door stories including ‘“The Westerners” “Das- ert Gold,” “The U. P. Trail,” etc., comes to the Grand theater for to- night and Tuesday in the role of a western hero, which the motion pic- ture public has learned to expect and love him in. «“The Law’s Outlaw” is a stirring outdcor drama with plenty of action and thrills. “Harum-Scarum” is a two-part comedy with the famous Universal lons which spread consternation and no end of trouble when Dby acei- dent they become uninvited guests at a lawn party, completes the pro- gram. “HELIOTROPE” AT ELKO LAST TIMES TONIGHT 1 you're tired of just ‘“‘movies” and are eager to see a ploture ithat is as delightfully different from the average Tun of screen entertainment as “Humoresque”, then go to the Elko theater and eee **Heliotrope,” showing last times tonight. e e et " IREALLY NO PROBLEM AT ALL Case Presented to the Great Sheerluck Bones Hardly Worthy of His Wonderful Brain. It was the office of the famous de- tective, Mr. Sheerluck Bones. The visitor, a man of rather small helght but liberal width, sat down. “Married!” snapped Bones. “How do you know I'm married?’ gasped the visitor. “By ,the samples of silk to be matched in your vest-pocket, and your hunted, haunted, expression,” replied Sheerluck, The man gasped. “It is marvelous how you -know things!” exclaimed the man. “But it 18 about my wife I came to see you. She acts so queerly lately. She talks to herself all the time, stands before her mirror and talks to berself. It's awfull And she does the most ter- rible things. She’ll put a cake of soap in the soup and scrub the paus with the soup bone, talking to her- self all the time.” . And the poor man wiped his brow nervously. “How long has this state of affalrs been going on?” asked the great de- tective. “Oh, for about a week now. And, Mr. Bones, I can’t stand it any longer. It's driving me crazy. I'm afraid she'll sell the baby for & bundle of rags, or something.” “H'm! Er, fsn't It just possible that your wife Is merely practicing and rehearsing her speech for the next meeting of the National Women's Rulers of Home league? I see its meeting takes place tomorrow night.” “By Jovel You're right. She is third assistant chalrman of that league. 1 forgot it!” With a relleved cry, the little man rushed home, and even forgot, in his glad rellef, to pay the great detec- tive's fee—London Answers. — MANY VARIETIES OF SHARK .

Of course there is romance in it too but sex is subordinated to a theme thus far neglected by the cinema- makers---a wayward father’s love and sacrifice to insure the happiness: of his daughter. It is a picture that is certain to rank with the best in many months. “Heliotrope” is a Ccsmopolitan | Production directed by Girge D. Baker, and released by Paramount.

TOM MIX AT THE REX LAST TIMES TONIGHT Tom Mix, as usuai, ‘“got” the crowds at the Rex theater yesterday when he appeared in his latest Wil- liam Fox production, “A Ridin’ Ro- meo.” Beside the thrilling scenes always to be found in Mix pictures, there is an unusual amount of hu- morus incidents that are part and parcel of the story. Mix loves fun, just as he loves to do the dare-devil | stunts that have made him so big a favorite; and when you know that Mix wrote the story of “A Ridin’ Romeo,” you can realize that Tom would naturally put many funay| touches in ‘it. The writing of this story gave Mix a chance to recall and put into pic- tures incidents that really happened when he was a cowboy on the plains of Texas and Oklahoma.

Yet itis gnly quite recently that the needs of mfedical workers in this respect| have been fully met. For their sup- ply of disease microbes for experimen- | tal purposes, British scientists were very largely dependent upon the courtesy of colleagues In other coun- trles.

Poets and romance writers for ages have been on firm ground when they have pletured broken-hearted swains and maldens. . According to Dr. Strickland Goodall, a noted heart specialist, it is a physi- ological fact that hearts do break. But he says, joy and not woe or hard work {s more frequently. the cause of a broken heart. In his long experience he has found that emotion rather than hard work has been responsible for broken hearts. “Don’t get Into a temper,” says Dr. Goodall, “because It increases the heart’s work by seventy-two foot pounds. Running upstalrs is foolish, because the Increase s 152 foot pounds.

A Yellow Peril. Can you read your laundry mark? T. Philip Terry, author of “Terry's Guide to Japan,” tells the following joke on himself—a joke which emphasized the advisability of keeping on good terms! with one's Chinese laundryman. The Chink in Mr. Terry's home town was inclined to be surly; so one day the guide book writer lectured him on the subject of courtesy, and urged him to adopt civility as a habit. The admo- nition palpably displeased the ccles- tial, but he said nothing. Later Mr. Terry, who lived several years in Chi- oa and knows something of the lan- guage, was surprised to find his shirts and collars marked with the Cantonese bleroglyph signifying “upstart jack-! ass.” Sounds and Sights, “That motion picture theater has beautiful music.” “Yes,” rejoined Miss Cayenne. present we listen.zo the plcture wat ang ook at the musical show.” Beautiful Arlington amphitheater was used for the fl‘rnt time since its dedication, in Washington’s 1920 Memorial exercises.

That which we debate hotly and surround with words and eagerness and doubts and| disappointments fades and is forgot- ten. Some simple fact, seldom upon our tongues and too obvious to be dis- cussed, Is left standing against the| horizon. The beginning of Some such revalua- tion made itself felt on Memorial day last year. In the commemoration of the day here and abroad theré was a silent power that all who participated could not but feel.” Tears were nearer the surface than any one suspected, memories more poignant. The very thought of our dead lylng in the soil of France, thelr graves covered with flow- ers by the hands of French women and French children, the bugles of their French comrades-blowing over themn, stirs the' deeps of reverence and loyalty. y . A scene In France, in one of the largest cemeteries In which American soldiers are burled, 1s thus beautifully described: Scene Most Picturesque. Beyond the wall masses of purple Ililues spread against the low red roofs of tie houses. In‘the distance a*few lazy clouds, in sky of blue, hung about | the old cathedral. spfres. Bird calls and scent of flowers filled the air. At our feet low mounds and white erosses. Above our heads, at half mast, the Stars and Stripes. Monsieur Gounelle, in black cassock, spoke In French and explained to his people the meaning of Memorial day. One felt, instinctively, their sympathy and love. Then we laid on every grave a spray of flowers and breathed a prayer for the absent ones. Each girl felt per- sonally responsible for each mound in wne row she decorated. How clear the names on those crosses stood out even though a year had passed! The French officers lald a wreath at the foot of the flag pole and one of them spoke with tenderness of the he- roes who had gone on. Already there hung upon the pole lovely wreaths from the Ville de Chateauroux, from the French mothers assoclation, and other local organizations. The chaplain from the post at-Mon- tierchaume addressed us, and then three volleys rang out upon the afr, the missives winging their way over the white crosses and silencing for a moment the song of the birds. A young marine faced the flag, saluted, and placed a bugle to his lips. Upon the warm clear air of that. May day there floated down the sweet and plaintive notes of “Taps.” And—it was finished. Girls Scatter Violets, But wait. Who are these? Out of the watching throng came young French girls, to scatter violets upon our graves.

Val- erien, overlooking the city of Paris, to which President Wilson went last Memorial-day to pay his homage to the several thousand American dead buried there. \The first American mon- ument abroad authorized by the War department was set up at:Suresnes, France, last vear, and unvelled as a part of the Memorial day observance.

There will be flow- ers upon these graves this year. Gradually the cemetery became de- serted except for a few who lingered. | A group .of marines stood about the grave of a comrade very dear. Its marker was of stone and bore these words: “A true soldier beloved of his comrades.” At one side a lad $tood weeping and told us that his brother| fell beyond the German lines. Madame Gounelle, Georges and his mother came and talked with us. Love and sympathy shone in their faces as | they told us of the honor that was | thelrs in caring for these graves. I thought of Georges’ letter and his offer of the friendship of “a little French- | man.” Deep In our hearts there will | live forever a memory of this “little Frenchman.” It was just the loving kindness of a kindly people and was thus, no matter where we went. Pilgrimages to the cemeteries at Suresness, Chalens, Fismes, Chatel-Guyon only served to deepen our gratitude to them. Oh, Mothers of America, you need not fear. Again the mother hearts in France will leap the wide expanse of sea and utter a prayer for you as they | drop their flowers upon our graves this year. And above those glorlous crosses, wherever they may be, ever floats Old Glory, as she whispers to the breeze: 1 called them and they followed; I guard them in their sleep. S T T | STROVE FOR HUMAN LIB_ERTY! S i | Armies Under the Stars and Stripes | Had Always the Noblest Aims | Man May Know. For two decades the recurrent ob- servance of Memorial day has been | the reggetful text for comment upon the dwindling line of “The Boys in Blue.” The World war has given an added significance to the exercises of the day, which in all the years to come will_be dedicated also to “The Boys i KhakL,” the “young mmen~ of this generation who so nobly carried | on the noble record established by the men of the early sixties. And in between room will be preserved for | the veterans of the war with Spain | in Cuba and the Philippines. It is,a proud tradition that in each’ of these wars the armies beneath the Stars and Stripes fought for human liberty, not for greed of territory or lust of power, but, in the [mmortal words of Lipcoln, that government of the péople should not perish. And the outcame in each has justified the faith that “conquer we must when our cause it Is just.”” A people that takes up the sword only in such circumstan- ces and with such spirit finds in the solemn ‘ceremanies of Memorial day a symbolism of patriotism, an avowal of faith that can never be quenched. JUST CANT HELP " PRAISING TANLAC “I'm in Best of Health Since Taking It and Think It's Grand,” Says Duluth Woman “After getting the wonderful relief I have from Tanlac. I just can’t help praising ‘it,”’ said Mrs. J. Schmaus, 522 East Seventh St., Duluth. Mrs. Schmaus has resided in Duluth for many years and is highly esteemed by a large circle of friends. g “At the time I began taking it I was in’'a very poor state of health. My appetite was gone, and what lit- tle I did eat just left me feeling mis- erable for hours. I had awful head- aches that made me so sick I didn’t know what to do and at times even the sight of food would nauseate me, and after working around and pre- paring a meal I was nearly ready to drop and couldn’t eat a mouthful. “Well, my husband had taken Tan- lac with good results, so I started taking it myself, and in almost no time I was picking up right along. My appetite is fine now, I enjoy all my meals, and feel well and strong all the time. In fact, I'm in the best of héalth and think Tanlac is just grand.”—Adv. 3ubscribe for The Dally Pioneer.
