MISSISSIPPI RIVER LIFE SHOWN IN FILM The magis fiddle of Joe Alabam, river outcast, had saved hot-blooded Jefferson Todd from his raging temp- er in innumerable crises, but there came a time when the latter strug- gled on the brink of a clift with his lifetime enemy. > Then Joe Alabam smashed his fid- le. “Hitching Posts,” in which Frank Mayo comes to the Grand theater to- night and Thursday is melodramatic at ;moments, but a human, gimple- itold story of] a gentleman-gambler into whose life comes a woman’s in- fluence. H. M. Shumate tells it and ‘George Hull picturizes it. Jack Ford it the director. The scenic frame provided for the stirring story promises to prove as attractive as the plot itself. The at- mosphere of the old South ,the lazy Mississippi River and the steamboats which plied; its muddy waters, .and the plains of Texas during the days of the first oil rush, are graphically reproduced in “Hitchin’ Posts” which will be shown with “Wild Men of Africa’” tonight. “WILD MEN OF AFRICA” AT GRAND TONIGHT---THURSDAY For the first time in the history of the screen, the marriage rites, cele- brated by savage tribes in the jun- gles of Africa, have been pictured by Dr. Leonard J. Vandenbergh, the Af- rican explorer, and they will be shown in the first episode of “Wild Men of Africa,” which will be dis- played at the Grand theater tonight and thursday, under the title of “The Lion| Killers.” When the :African warrior makes his choice and pays the prica in the way of cattle, skins or other com- modjties, for his bride, she is taken in charge by members of both their families and 'kept confined in a hut while the home of the pair is being constructed. When this is finished, the bride is rushed into the new home and there she remains until the groom appears. Then she begins her life of toil ‘as the property of her man who disdains to work as long as her muscles remain strong. When that happens-—-the wife is thrown upon the:mercy of the ibush. “The Wiild, Men of Afriica” series of pic- tures are well worth seeing. WILLIAM RUSSELL AT - END OF ENGAGEMENT William Russell, in “Colorado Pluck,” makes his final appearance at the Rex theater tonight. The Fox star and his latest play have proved an irresistible attraction to local mo-| tion picture devotees. Many insist that “Colorado Pluck’” is easily Rus- sell’sl best pictuge. Certainly it equals the best he has had---and this is. ample praise of the work. “HIS GREATEST SACRIFICE” AT REX THEATER THURSDAY Followers of Willlam Farnum--- and they are legion---will find fine entertainment in his latest picture, “His Greatest Sacrifice,” which will open at the Rex theater next Thurs- day. : In this story Mr, Farnum’s superb acting ability, which has been a great asset to the screen, stands out more; clearly than usual. He has a big) dramatic part as the successful writey whose wife leaves him and their child so that she can give all her time to her new advancement on the operatic stage. “}His Great Sacrifice” brings up a question quite common in modern times---should a wife have a career that interferes with the welfare of her husband, her home and her child? The question is answered in telling fashion in the photoplay. Still, those who see it may have a different opin-| fon. It makes stirring drama and| pulls hard at the heartstrings. Reports from the William Fox studio in New York istate that Mr. (Farnum took more personal interest in the making of this picture than’in any other, with' the possible excep- tions of “A Tale of Two Cities” nnd!thiu misery “\Les Miserables.” Each day In his dressing room he went over the play scene by scene with his director, J. Gordon Edwards, acting out every point on which there was any slight difference of opinion and finally getting all to a state where hejand Mr. Edwards agreed they would be most effective. Mr. Farnum and Mr. Edwards agreed with Mr. Fox that in this pic- ture/there is food for thought for marrvied and single alike, for men and tboys as well as for women and girls. “HAWTHORNE OF THE US.A” AT ELKO THEATER TONIGHT In “Hawthorne of the U. S. A the repeat film at the Elko theater tonight, the role of the hero is play- ed by Wallace Refd, while Lila Lee appears ‘in the chief feminine part. As if this pair of favomtes were not enough, the rest of the company has been selected exclusively from prom- inent screen players. Theodore Rob- erts plays the role of a United States cenator and Harrison Ford, is Wal- lace Refd’s partner in adventure. Such sterling character actrs as Tul- 1y Marshall, Edwin Stevens, Charles Ogle and Guy Oliver also appear. "he picture was adapted from James B. Fagan's well known' stage | play of the same name. It concerns the experiences of a pair of improvid- ent American law clerks touring Eu- rope in a “jitney” when they break the bank at Monte Carlo and [nvade an obscure little revolution-torn kingdom. A Mack Sennett comedy also ap- pears, in return engagement, at the E NEWS OF THE THEATRES |kidneys, lame and achy backs, your| EXCELLENT CAST AND | GOOD STORY IN “813” | There is mystery, aplenty in *“813" the Rdoertson-Cole super-special fea- turing ‘Wedgwood Nowell which will | be shown for the first time at the Eiko on Thursday, and Fxday. Here is a picture which, according to critics, has all of the necessary ele-| ments required by a first-clags photo- | play and is theretore deserving of the | sucqess it has achieved. The story is a screen ;@daptayion of the Arsene Lupin novel '‘813” written by the famous French author Maurice Le- blanc. i The story of the play is steeped in mystery and full of action. A triple murder mystery confronts the audi- ence at the very outset and the in- genious manner in which |it is solved. furnishes the real punch of the pic~ ture. In the cast with Wedgewood No- well are Wallace Beery, Ralph Lewis, J. P. Lockney, William V. Mong, Co- ilin Kenny, H. Milton Ross, Thornton Kdwards, Frederick Vroom, Mark Fenton, Kathryn Adams, Laura La- Plant and Vera Steadman. Pioneers’ Prairie Bunk. The necessity of finding a more con- venient and comfortable place than the ground upon which to sleep pro- duced the “prairie bunk.” This one- leggerl bedstead, now a plece of furni- ture of the past, was Improvised by the ploneer in a unique manner. A forked stake was driven into the ground at a proper distance from the corner of the room and upon it poies. usually of hickory, were laid reaching from each wall. These poles, where they touched the walls, rested in the openings between the logs or were driven into auger holes. Upon these poles slats of clapboard were placed, or linden bark was interwoven from pole to pole. Sometimes an old-fash- foned *“cord bed” was made by using basswood bark for the cord. On this framework the housewife spread her straw tick or piled the luxurious mound of her homemade feather bed. Such a sleeping place was usually known as a “prairie bedstead,” but sometimes it was .called a “prairie rascal.”—Mildred J. Sharp, in the Pal- tmpsest. | Happy Ending. “I have just heard of a woman who went to a hotel unaccompanied and discovered that the acoustic properties | of her room were such that every time she spoke aloud there was an | echo. She then made a bold attempt | to get in a last word, and in so doing | talked herself to death.”—Portland | Express and Advertiser.

Postoftice, Nebish, Minn. |§ HE situation in children’s hats has changed within the last few jears; since specialists have found it worth their while to devete all their time- and talents to .the production of hats for little folks and young girls. Beginning with girls of four, they think out the charming hats that in- terpret girlhood as it progresses from little girls to miss and on to “ju- niors” on the morning side of sixteen. They take into account the varied types of girls and make millinery that Is quaint, saucy, demure or even amus- ing, handling with much artistry hats that are patterned after grown-up's millinery. Many mothers climinate from their cholce all hats with trimmings, other than a ribbon sash or band, for girls under sixteen. They choose plain hats In fine quality, and their taste is never ip ‘question. This restraint in the matter of clothes is a part of the training of their children and has several advantages, especinlly for jun- iors. It helps keep their minds from being distracted from school werk ant makes them enjoy more the privileges coming to them when they are older. The hats pictured here, however, are different in type. but pretty and taste- ful, they include two for little girls and two for misses. The little poke-bonnet affair at the top of the group has many a proto- type in tne millinery of grownups, but the narrow ribbon and few tiny flow- ers that are as demure as.the shape, proclaim it a little girl's hat. The shape just below it would be just like mamm if it were not for ribbon threaded through the brim and hanging in:long sash ends at the back. The smiling miss at the upper right has a hat made to suit her years and trimmed with ‘plain and plaid ribborns. and the group !s finished with an off- | the-face shape of silk and braid that will please the girl of fifteen in -its resemblance.“to _grawn-up hats. - But its lack of t¥imming, escept for silk- covered buttors, reduces it'to the sim- ple terms # @ich childishness s | expresserl. e k / e fi COPYAGHT IY WISTEN NEVSIATER UNIOR Roman Use of Concrete. The Romans’ discoveries in concrete méxing made it possiblefor them to make prodigious strides 'in engineer- ing and architecture. At the foot of Vesuvius were immense deposits of reddish sand or volcanic ash called pozzuolana, which, when added to lime mortar, made hydraulic ceiment. This gave to the Romans a concrete of extraordinary strength and perman- ence, which hardened under water as well as in the air, and became the basis of their entire system of building.
