OF THE THEATRES i “THE HOUSE THAT JAZZ BUILT” “MAMMA’S AFFAIR” AT REX THEATER TODAY A striking instance of a producer’s zeal to give a screen production not only elaborateness of scope, but play- ers in thg leading roles, who were long identified with the stage career of ithe piece, is demonstrated by Jo- seph M. Schenck in Constance Tal- madge’s starring vehicle, “Mamma’s Affair,” now on the screen at the Rex theater. This piece, which has been adapted for ths screen by 'Anita Loos and John Emerson, from Rachel Barton Butler's ivell-known stage produc-| tion of the same name, was directed by Victor Fleming. When choosing his players, Mr. Flemming persuaded Effte \Shannon, /Katherine Kadglved and George LeGuere, who dppeared in the stage version to journey to New | AT THE ELKO THEATER TONIGHT Local play-goers have a real treat offered them in Wanda Hawley’s lat- |test Realart’, picture, ‘‘The House | That Jazz Bujlt," which is showting at |the Eiko theater topight, also Tues- day, matinee.and \dvening.

William Russell is said to” have gcored triumph in this his latest pic- ture, On the comedy side of a clev- er story are his ludicrous attempts to ape his new acquaintances abroad who have done little else than loll in lap of luxury. His canopied bed is merely a new fangled bunk, accord- ing to the rough and ready miner, | and the necessity of a dozen or more kniives, forks and spoons at each platé at the table is merely another kind of “‘bunk.” There is ample room in the story for laughs, sighs and thrills after the Western miner makes his “pile” and goes out to see the world. His at- tempt to ‘“burn up” Broadway and his experiences while trying to hob- nob with nobility are certainly amus- ling incidents. But Russell, also has a chance to bring the “catch” to the throat when he marries into nobiility and eventually learns that his money was the real attraction. As'the story proceeds Colorado Jim is again foundl in his mining cabin with his fortune depleted, but with unbroken spirit despite the presence of a disgusted wife., The rugged min- er knows ‘no defeat and the closing scenes between him and the wife who eventually learns to love him lead to a beautiful climax. BIG TOP SLANG BAFFLES A LAYMAN| What is @ “‘rosin back?” Quick---can you answer? To those who know the “Big Top” only through visits to the circus on its arrival in town it will prcbably he a surprice to learn that a1 ‘“rosin back” is a thoroughly trained horse, steady and reliable to a degree that will permit its rider to accomplish difficult stunts. The term ‘rosin {back” comes from the fact that rosin is placed on the horge’s back to give ithe performer a, firm footing. And, further, “rosin backs” are al- ways w¢hite harses, jbecause osin shows on equines of any other color! ““This is only one of the things 1 learned in making ‘The Little Clown,” a circus story of Avory Hop- wood,” said Mary Miles Minter at the Hollywood Realart studio recently. “Circus slang is mighty interesting. The play required the use of a whole traveling show---and of course work- ing ‘with the real performers for so long made us familiar with muny cir- cus customs and circus slang.” “The Little Clown” has been adapted by Realart from a stage play. by Avery Hopwood, author of “Fair and Wanmer.” “The Gold Diggers,” ete., and will not be seen on the prcadway boards until after the screen version is released “The Lit- tle Clown” and “She Sighed by the Seaside,” will be shown for the last time tonight. “SHE SIGHED BY THE SEASIDE” HAS BIG CAST 1t any one doubts the ability of the celebrated Mack Sennett Bathing Beauty to breast the billows' dash through the foam, dare the deep and otherwise disport herself in a thor- oughly | seaworthy manner, such doubts will be dispelled when Mack Sennett's latest two-reel scream, ‘‘She Sighed by the Seaside,” comes to the Grand theater tonight for the last time. “She Sighed by the Seaside” is one of the first Sennett pictures of briel length to be released by Assoclated Producers, of which new and thriving distributing organization Mr. Sennett is thé treasurer. Mr. Sennett's jealousy of his repu- tationas a comedy purveyor is partic- ularly keen in this instance, because he i naturally, eiger that he shall not only sustain his reputation as a comedy maker second to none in the world, but that in this, kis newest production, he shall help to establish the-Aszociated Producers as the stan- dard distributing organization for high-class, hilarious, wholesome hu- mor. “She Sighed by the Seaside” is comedy adorned with girls: humor in a bathing suit, and laughter released on the beach. | in the leading comedy roles there are to be ifound Ben Turpin, James Pinlayson, Charlie Conklin, “Tiny"” Ward and Bert Roach among the men; the leading woman is Marie Preveat; the chief comedienne Is Charlotte Mineau, and then there are all tr, dimpled beauties of the sea- going brigade known the world over a3 the Mack Senmett Bathing Beau- ties. His Time Was Not Up Yet. A man of mercenary spirit had a son | whom he kept well under parental | charge, allowing him few liberties and making him work hard. It was with a feeling of considerable | satisfaction that the young man rose | longings preparatory to starting out | In the world. i | The farmer, seeing his son packing his trunk, which he rightly judged to | be evidence of the early loss of a good | fgrm hand, stopped at the door of the young man's room and asked what he; was going to do. {] The boy very promptly - reminded his | tather of the day of {the monthiand the | | year and declared his Intégtion of | striking out into the world on~his own aceount, | “Not much you won't!" shouted the | old man. “At least not for a while| yet! You weren't born until after 12 o'clock, so you can just take off them good clothes and give me another half day's work down in the potato patch.” —Harper's Magazine. | Inheritance of Insanity. According to Doctor Kener, director of a large lunatiec asylum f{n Rou- mania, insanity, when transmitted, oc- curs at an earlier age in eich suc- cessive generation. Of 250 pairs of parents, reports thé' Journal of the American Medical Assoclation, and off- spring, 39 per cent of the offspring were found to have had their first at- tack of insanity before the age of twenty-five, a considerable portion be: ing congenital imbeciles. Mothers transmitted much more frequently than fathers, and daughters are affected more often than sons; also the off- spring are affected at about half the age of the parent, belng in most in- | stinces either congenital imbeciles or cases of adolescent insanity. The World in Stone. At Swanage. In Fngland is a conven- tional representation of the globe— conventional, that is, In design, but not. in other respects, for the globe is hewn from rock, and measures 11 feet In diameter, and welghs 40 tons. The history of this unique geo- geaphieal recard is Interesting, for it. is the result of the successful building operations of two local men who mi- grated to London, and amassed huge fortunes, then returned to their na- tive town and lavished decorations in stone on every available part of Swan- age. How Rainfall Is Recorded. The government gauge for record- Ing rainfall consists of a eylinder two feet high, elght inches in diameter, upon which a funnel of the same dinmeter. fits, Within that Js a brass cylinder of the same helght, the digms eter a little over two and one-half inches, In it IS a measuring. tube, the aren of which compared with the, aren of the funnel is as ten to one, So that when a one-hundredth of an inch falls in the funnel it becomes one- tenth of an lich in the measuring tube. ' Defacing the Flag. Driving nails or tucks “in “thy flag to hold it in place Is considered wroag. Preferably It should be tied with red, white or. blue cord, or tri-colored cord. No advertisement or lettering of any sort should ever be placed upon the flag, or any object except the Bible placed upon it. Draping a pulpit desk with the flag, it being held in place by a Bible, Is permissible. Question About Cance:.

In Cen- tral Europe, Germany and Italy the prices are still relatively low. In Belgium the level of food prices be- gins to approach the American, and in France, -and, strangely enough, Holland, one pays dollar for dollar and sometimes a little more.

Many ‘writers sleep with pencil and notebook , under their pillows and a lamp at hand; so that they may dash off the -thoughts that come to them in the watches of the night. There 1s about these thoughts a clarity that does not come with daytime -thinking —a sureness of vision that approaches the clairvoyant. Misfortunes never loom so full or realistic as after mid- night; but joy and pleasure lose some- thing of their glamor, their evidence; doubt creeps im-with them. A problem which we have wrestled in the daylight, weighing It with all our intelligence, is settled in a certain way, calmly and judiciously and after mature reflection. Our decision seems the right one. And then, suddenly, in the dead of the night, that self-same issue bobs up before our mental vi- slon, wakes us, from a sound sleep and settles itself in quite another. way, in one great flash.- A strong white light has been turned upon the brain and has ‘revenled there a conclusion of which we had nq inkling before. The processes of arriving at it are a. closed chapter.+ The -eclnirvoyant -brain has registered.a: resultionly, And again and again it will be found’ to' be the right, tife expedient solution.

Nordeen, of 125 W, Superior St., Duluth, Minn. Mrs. Nordeen is a life-long resident of Duluth, and is highly esteemed by a large circle of friends. “For a year before I got Tanlac I had indigestion 'so bad I ‘could scarcely retain anything on my stom= ach. - No_matter what, I ate: or how little, in just.a few minutes after I ate it I turneéd almost deathly sick and just. suffered agony.
