Smabtiahaoliay TR R “THE BIG TOWN ROUND-UP” AT REX THEATER SUNDAY When Tom Mix opens at the Rex theater on Sundajin the Fox picture “The Big Town Round-Up,” he will exhibit what is said to be an exceed- ingly fine line of rescue work. The “Round-up,” + in ;which the action switches from a ranch to 'Fifisco and back again, is crowded, of course, with thrilling incident-—else it would not be a Mix entertainment. Among the thrills are @ number due to res- cue work. For ‘examplé, MYx rescues a girl from a ruffian’s insults by throwing . the ruffian off & speeding train. He rescues this same girl later from a bunch of city thugs in a cafe. He rescues the heroine from a big rattle- snake on Mis ranch by his accurate long distance aim with his rifle. He rescués her again in the.city when she falls before a stampeding steer at the stockyards. And he saves from death in a qity park a little girl who is hanging head down on her runaway pony. Also he'is kept tolerably busy rencuing himself from his enemies. ‘Wihen Mix isn’t rescuing somebody he's fighting a gang of thugs---with iintermissions for attention to the only girl. Ora Carewe is his leading woman. The story of “The Big Town Round- Up” was written by Wilfam McLeod ‘Raine and the picture was directed by Lynn F. Reynolds---who also made the scenario. “CLCLONE BLISS” AT THE REX THEATER SATURDAY The second Jack Hoxie feature is soon to be shown at the Rex theater. It is called “Cyclone Bliss.” As in the first Hoxie feature “The Man trom Nowhere,” Jack Hoxie scores a great success. Supporting Jack Hoxie in “Clclone Bliss” is a notable cast of players. The second big feature is a western one that for thrills and excitement would be hard to beat. Jack Hoxie is prob- ably one of thebest riders in the west and is given an opportunity to dis- play his horsemanship in more ways than one. His riding and all the thrills that he causes by his daring reckless ways are features of this peture and will interest his many friends. During the fourth and fifth reels of this picture in addition to many dar- ing stunts performed by Jack Hoxie he is called upon to stage a fight in which he lcks nearly a dozen bad men. This is one of the big punches in *‘Oyclone Bliss.” “GOD’S GOLD” SHOWING AT REX THEATER TODAY Neal Hart's latest production, “God's Gold” s @ powerful and thrill- ing romance of the sea. It presents this clever and versatile actor in the role of a sea captain---a part that oftords him ome of the greatest op- portunities of his career to display Lis ability in strong emo'fonal roles. Burjed treasure provides the theme of the jfcture. All of us have been thrilled by stories of adventurerers of every age who have sought hidden fortunes, and in *“God's Gold” the gearch for buried treasure has been given mew\ and unusual effects. A fight between eavages and mu- tineers, the burning of two great ships in. San Frandsco Harbor, the rescue of a beautiful girl from a pair of bandits and other thiills ga- lore combine to make this picture one of the most appealng, exciting and stimulating stories that has ever been filmed. In his role of sea captain, Neal Hart comes into possession of the secret of a vast buried treasure, hid- den on an uncharted fisland in the Pacific by a gang of mutineers. After many difficulties he finally eets safl for the island upom which he belleves the treasure to be Fhild- den. The voyage proves to be one of the most thrilling in sea annals, for in addition to battling the fury of the clements, ; he discovers a mautiny among his own crew and only atter a tremendous struggle does he come oft with his own life. tHow he saves tpie ship and its crew from destruction upon the rocks in one of the most daing storm scenes ever fllmed; the battle between the mutinous crew and savages on the South Sea island, the destruction of two tmmense schconers by fire in San Francisco harbor and other precarious situations dre but a few of the torce- ful scenes in the picture. How Hart finally locates the treas- ure and then rescues his sweetheart, who is held captive by a gang ol \bandits, to learn that God's real gold is the girl he loves, brings the pic- ture to o stiriing and pulse-quicken- ing finish. “SHELTERED DAUGIiTEBS" AT GRAND LAST TIMES TONIGHT It was evident to a large and en- thusiastic audience at the Grand the- ater last night that Realart knew what it was about when it made Justine Johnstone a star recently without her having served a long picture apprentiship doing bits and leading women roles before stardom was thought of. In “Sheltere¢ Daughters’ Miss Justine'proved that becides being one of the mosi extraordinanily beautiful women in the known world today, she is also an emotional “actress of no mean ability. The story concerns Jenny Dark, a romantic littld bookworm of & girl who had fed upon romattic tales un- ti} her ideals of real Iife are all col- ored by ‘the romance cf her dreams. Her father, a famous deteotive, knows so much about humanity's base side that he has determined to shield his motherless daughter from all knowl- edge of the world’s evil. He does not even permit the girl to read the nervepapers -less her pure mind be sulljed. Jermy was o innocent that she was a perfect goose. She was a dear, sweet goose, of course; but a goose none the lees. And of all the scrapes |steering. that girl got herself into! First thing ‘old dad knew little Jenny's escapades wene on the front pages of the ‘sensational papers, which he had mever permitted little Goody-Goody even to read. It took more than dad’s linfluence to extyicate Jenny from the mess in ‘which she had innccently in- volved herself, and it was with pos- iitive relief that e married her off to a mice young man. That is the plat of ‘‘Sheltered: | Daughters,” Justine Johnston's picture showing for' the last time at the Grand tonight. JUNGLE SCENES PICTUR!'ZED Displaying in motion picture form, scenes of tifbal life in the fungles of Africa, the Paramount-Vandenbergh Bxploratior| serles depicting ““Wild Men of Afxica” will be shown a! the Grand theater last times tonight." Scenes ' showing ‘@ hippopotamus hunt and barbecue and:the funeral| customs of the savage Kavirondas are the special features. The series is at- | tracting general attention. | “THE LOVE SPECIAL” AT THE GRAND THEATER SUNDAY To drive some sort of machine, be it an automobile or a locomotive, is all in the day's work for Wallace| Re'd, the athletic Paramount star. In “The Love Special,” his latest star-| ring vehicle which comes to the| Grand theater next Sunday and Mon- day, Wally drives a railroad engine | over a mountgin in a driving snow- storin Wwith the same ease and poise he displays when at the wheel of a roadster in a gruelling auto race. “It was great sport to feel the big engine pick up as I pulled the throt- tle,” said the star, “‘but, I felt lost without a sterring wheel. At times when we went around a sharp curve I would dnstinctively grab for wheel only to remember that I was in a lo- comotive and didn't have to do any T think a fellow feels bet- ter, though;when he knows he i3 do- ing the gulding. It makes one feel dependent and a bit useless to know that he must ctiek right to the steel rails and that they will guide the en- gina for him.” ‘The story upon which the picture ig based, is sald to be one of the best railroad stories by Frank H. Spearman, a well known fictionist. It is a W'g story full of speed and thrills and seasoned with a delightful ro- mancd which continues all through the picture. Agnes Ayres is leading woman and in the cast are Theodore Roberts, Lloyd Whitlock, Sylvia Ash- ton, Alexander Gaden, Clarence Bur- ton, Ernest Butterworth and others. “BAWDLERS” NOT LONG LIVED Prominent British Manufacturer Points Out. That Active Man of Busi. ness Reaches Old Age. Lord, Leverhulme, one of Great Britaln's largest manufacturers, asserts that more peodple shorten their lives by dawdling In DEngland than by hustling. He Is a living proof that hustling promotes hale® old age. He has always led the strenuous life, and .at 70 is still going strong. He presided at the annual meeting of ‘the British Industrial’ Safety First association the other day. In his ad- dress he drew largely upon ‘his Amerl- cun experience, Steps had been taken there, he sald, to ascertain whether it was the hustiing, bustling business man who was suppesed to shorten his days, or the man who crawled and dawdled through life, He declared there were men in the United States today of 80, 90 and. be- tween 90 and 100 years of age who, were stlll In good hgnllh and actively engaged In business, whereas men who had retired early from business ha¢ shortened their lives thereby. He thought the crawl of the dawdler was largely instrumental in shortening the llves of individuals in Great Brit- aln—that the more a man worked, whether professionally or in other vo- catlons, the more he would conserve his life and strength and the life ani eammerce of the country. Books That Have Life, After all, is it not better that a hun- dred unnecessary books should be published than that one good and use- ful book should be lost? (Nature's "law of parsimony is arrived at by a process of expense.) The needless volumes, like the infertile seeds, soon sink out of sight; and the books that have life in them are taken care of by the readers who are walting some- where to recelve and cherish them.— Henry Van Dyke. At Anchor in the Bay of Yeddo. The evening we dropped anchor In the bay of Yeddo the moon was hang- ing directly over Yokohama. It was a mother-of-pearl’ moon, and might have been manufactured by any of the dellcate artisans in the Hanchodorl quarter. It impressed one as being a very good Imitation, but nothing more. Nammikawa, the cloisonne-worker at Toklo, could have made a better moon.—Thomas Bailey Aldrich, Hail Cannot Be Prevented. The theory that hail could be pre- vented by firing cannon or discharglng explost never was accepted by scientists, and careful experiments have shown that it has no foundation. The theory was advanced that the agi- tation.caused by an explosion would prevent. the formation of hallstones.

GLARK. Washington.—A “riew - ¢hiet. of thei United States shipping bouty has been!s appoinfed. A.”D. 'Lasker, a_businesg’ man; of Chicago, has been given the job. It hurts nothing to say that It is a hard job and one which politi- clans did not fall over themselves in an attempt to seize upon for some friend. It looks today as if within a year or two the United States will get out of the shipping business. It probably will dispose of its holdings and let privete ownership go back on the job. This Is the suggestion which seems to | have authority behind it, but it will take a long time before the end sought, if it I8 to be sought, can be reached. . The shipping, board has had trouble 0f one kind or another eyer since it was established in the early days of the war. Men have come and men have gone, but the trouble has stuck. ‘SBomebody said that ‘the’board was hoodooed as some ships ‘are said to be., - Perhaps it was. not properiy, christened, or as some flippant. one has said, perhaps aw old-time kind of | of. its' Jaunching, 5 ! The:sepate’ has yotéd an additional | $75,000,000 to carry on the work of the shipping board. This sum is plus; the first appropriation. It is not def- initely decided yet, because of opposi- tion in the house to granting this ad-| ditional morey. § Knows What Confronts Him. Mr. Lasker nas no illusions. He knows that he will have trouble to carry the shipping board’s operations through to high success and he knows that generally speaking the position has been regarded as a thankless one. Of course it is too early to deter- mine definitely what the policy of the | new shipping board will be, but among | other things that it will have to do will be the settlement of a lot of labor troubles, the adoption of some plan | which will enable the American ships to compete successfully with foreign ships, and the solution of other prob- | lems which confront the country's shipping interests. The government has, put something ! like three billions of /dollars into its fleet of ships. It is' said that they will_sell today for only about three- quarters of a billion. The reason for the decrease Is not that; the ships have deteriorated, but the umsettled condl- tions in the world. A plan has been suggested by which the shipping board would turn the ves- sels over to private corporations to have them run the ships at a certain price tixed on the tonnage. It is held, that perhaps the government would make more money this way than in any other, but probably, it is sald, this prospective income, if the course were adopted, would not take care of the defleit. G. O. P. Women Ara Insistent. Rear Admiral W, S. Sims, wno won fame as the American commander in European waters during the war, has been talking sgain. There is no intention here’ to express an opin- fon as to whether Sims talked right or talked wrong. While the matter is in abeyance so far as the outcome is concerned, administration officials are keeping mum. They probably are do- ing a lot ‘of thinking, however. The people probably will guess at the na- ture of these thoughts after a manner in keeping with their own thoughts on the subject. Army and navy officers from the very beginning of things in the service oceasionally have been brought into the field of criticism because they have opened thelr mouths. There is a reg- ulation forbldding service men from expressing their opinlons in public writing ‘or in public speech on matters ~hich are reserved for discussion to the executive department, and this de- partment covers a wide field. There were troubles back in the Spanish war days over the “round robin” which was signed by many offl- cers who were at the front in Cuba. Theodore Roosevelt was one of the slgners of this then famous document. General Miles and General Corbin had a controversy during the Spanish war which was aired in the public prints and which the administration seemed to feel went beyond the limits of serv- ice discretion. x “The quartermaster:‘general of -the army’ ac that time got- into real trou- ble because ‘ot some ‘things which he elther said - or wrote.: Memorable Case ‘of Coghlan, 1t is probable that a good many Americans with memories not neces- surily long will recall the after-dinner speech made by Captain Coghlan of the navy just after the Spanish war. He had been in comand of one of Dewey’s ships at the battle of Manila, und he, with other American officers, ralse.

Recollection bottle “was not broken on the day | was extremely resentful at the conduct < and who tried to cause trouble for Dewey. Coghlan recited to the dinner guests the famous ™Me und Gott” poem. The country roared over it, but it roused anger in some places Coghlan said he was In civillan clothes, ‘on leave, and merely acting as a private citizen when he spoke, and that he belleved he had all the rights of a private citizen to suy what he wanted to.. The country pretty gen- erally agreed with him.

When Officers Talk Too Much. Wamen are in full membership fellowship with men in the Democratic national committee. Republican women iare determined to secure like standing on the national committee of théir party as soon as it can be accomplished.. Then the women of parties probably 'will feel that they have come into their political own. It was a bit of wise work, with more than a smack of cleverness in it, which resulted at the meeting of the Republican national committee,’ which was recently held in Washing- ton, in securing the creation of the ioffice of a second vice chairman of a woman should fill the place. It has been rumored that the mem- ;bers of, the Republican national com- 'mittee, or at any rate a majority of them, have not been over anxious that women should be admitted to full vot- | ing fellowshlp in the body, but national committeemen are wise in this pres- ent political generation, and therefore as soon as it can be done the voting strength of woman on the committee will be as great as that of man. Is| the day coming -when the chairmen of both great national political com- mittees will be women? What has been said about the pos- sible disinclination of some of the Re- publican committeemen to admit wom- en to full fellowship it is said is also- true of the original feeling of the mem- bers of the Democratic national com- mittee but last year at San Francisco, when ‘the Democratic national conven- tion met, the women were given the membérship which' they desired. In three years time the Republican na- tional committee will have one woman in the membership for every .man. There will be a_woman member and a man member from every state. ..

The women of the Democratie'party who wanted membership in:the nation- al committee believed that they: were going to have a hurd struggle to get what they wanted, and so they laid | plans” aggressively to campaign in be- half of their cause at San.
