PAGE FOUR “PLAYTHING OF DESTINY” REX---OPENING SUNDAY “Playthings of Destiny'’ the Asso- ciated First National Pictures attrac- tion which will open a two day eun- gagement at the Rex theater begin- ning tomorrow, is hailed by critics as heing the strongest dramatic produc-| Ton in which Miss Anita Stewart has ever appeared. It was adapted from “‘The Tornado,” a novel by Jane Mur- fin, by Anthony Paul Kelly, who has prepared the scenarios for some of the moest notable screen successes. The story is of Julie Laneau, a Canadian backwoods school teacher. who is led to believe that Geoffrey Arnold, with whom she is intensely in love, had a wife living at the time he married her. She flees from hia cabin in the midst of a blizzard, and nearly freezes to death before she ig found ,by Herbert Randolph. They are snowbound in his cabin for six. weeks, during which time Ran- dolph learns to love her and proposes marriage. Julie is aware that in the near future she is to have another life to care for, and, after frankly telling Herbertl she does not love him, ac- cepts his offer of marriage. Herbert rises rapidly in the world and is in Governor General oft Jamaica, when the Earl of Stanhope arrives on the island to select the man for the post. The Earl is Geoffrey, who has come into the title through the death of a relative. Julie discovers that she still love§ Geoffrey, but, beyond be- traying the fact that she knows him, keeps the secret of her love until Geoffrey and she are facing death to- gether. Then comes the clearing away of the misunderstandings and the climax which is as strong in emo- tional dramatics as any scene yet placed on the screen. ‘“THE RAIDERS” SHOWING AT THE REX THEATER TODAY Those of our local movie devotees who are fond of the picture along the lines of Marshall Neilan's “River’s End’ ’and Bill Hart’s “0’Malley of the Royal Mounted,” will have an oppor- tunity of seeing at the Rex theater| on Satuday only, a picture which is considered to be among the best of the many film dramas which have taken their inspiration and back- ground from the Royal Northwest Mounted Police of Canada. Not since the days of the Old Santa Fe trail and the Indian uprisings in Minnesota and Montana has North American continent had a field $0 fragant with romance as that of which lies in the western provinces of the Dominion of Canada. Here throughout the entire year in little secluded posts members of the Royal Northwest Mounted Poiice serve their king and country as guardians of the peace and upholders of the law. In “The Raiders” the picture in! which Mr. Farnum will appear, the author has concocted a story which combine quick action, logical plot and suspense, followed by full satisfaction and at no time does he transgress the bounds of possibility and probabil- ity. Mr. Farnum is ai iris best in virile characters such as Private Fitzgerald of the Royal Mounted and in his uni- form he presents a picture which will make the hearts of many a lovely maiden palpitate. ’ “THE FURNACE” GORGEOUS FILM LAST TIME TONIGHT In point of story, cast, costuming. setting and atmosphere, “The Fur- nace,” the new Wm. D. Taylor Real- art ‘Special founded upon the new novel by tha popular English writer, “Pan,” which ;opened last. night at the Grand theater, contains all the fundamental qualities which point to an unusual picture, and is beyond a doubt one of the most spectacular, Jboth in theme and sceme, that has been released for some time. Some magnificent settings were shown. These include an exterior and inter- ior replica of the famous Church of St. WMary's at London, wheje the wediding which opens the picture sup- posedly takes.place. There is also a large and unusually rich setting rep- resenting the interior of the hotel at Monte Carlo. Besides this there are geveral big social tunctions which re- quired the construction of exterior ecenes of two big English estates, magnificent ball, rocms, etc. The costume department and the designers at the studio must have worked overtime to turn out the hun- dreds of gorgeous gowns required for ! ithe big society scenes in the film. So, merely from the point of view of a gorgeous epectacle “The Furnace’ would be a satisfying picture, well worth the price of admission. But it has other merits. The cast is all-star, and in it are numbered some of the most popu- lar and famous figures of screendom. Agmes Ayres plays the principal rele ---that of Folly Vallance, while Je- rome Patrick has perhaps the most fmportant male part as Anthony Bond. Such players as Theodore Roberts, the king or character actors. Mil- ton Sills, also prominent leading man. (Helen: Dunbar, Fred Turner, Mayme Kelso, Lucien Littlefield and Robert Rolder. need no introduction to film - patrons. The title refers to the strife un- happinehh and suspicion that are in- evitable in marriages which are ba “The Furnace” together with “Hide and Seek,” a short subject from the Hudscn's Bay Company will ibe shown tonight for the last time a the Grand theater. “A TALE OF TW0 WORLDS" AT GRAND TOMORROW The colorful events cf the Boxer uprizing of 1899 form the back- ground for “‘A Tale of Two Worlds,” an original screen story from the pen of Gouverneur Morris, one of Amer- ifia’s best living short story writers. He is associaated with the Goldwyn- NEWS OF THE THEATRES i | i Eminent Authors, and has the dis-| ,tinction of being one of the few auth-| ors who supervise personaliy the, production of their stories. This latest Eminent Authors pro- duction, which will be shown tomor-' row at the Grand theater is a triumph | for the artist as well as for the di-! rector and the author.

Kinney, ‘; (United Press Staff Correspondent) i | | Tokio.—(By Mail)—Official si- lence envelopes the results of the igreat cabinet and foreign office con- .ference which deliberated on Japan’s| policies in respect to various cuun-l E tries on the continent of Asia. i { While the foreign office had origi-| inally planned to give an outline of! |the results in an official statement to | the press, this idea was abandoned for| some reason. It is, however, possible | :to form a very accurate opinion of | imost of the decisions which were| made, from taiks with well informed| | officials in a position to know. ! The decision to withdraw the | troops from Siberia, except the Amur region and Saghalien; and from the; | Kwantung railway, was regarded as a| victory for the premier, and the for-| eign office over the militarists, for, while the civil officials have for some ‘timAe past been anxious to take such |action, they have been thwarted by | ¢ | the iron opposition of the war depart-| !ment. I am informed, however, from an reliable source, that this action wae, suggested by no less a person' than, Minister of War General Tana- :!(a, even though opposition remains in the general staff, which continues to harbor many reactionary mili-| tarists of the pre-war school. | Whether General Tanaka's action| lindciates that the more enlightened; soldiers were finally able to see that continued presence of Japanese| I troops in Siberia was bound to lead! | to war, cannot be stated. Such a war! :would involve enormous forces and | expense. Furthermore, contrary to the former war with Russia,~the Rus- sians would this time be fired with| ‘patriotism to drive out the, invaders, while the Japanese would be luke- -warm, to say the least. i Since the conference broke up, the 'situation in Siberia has changed by! capture by the Kappelist foreces of Vladivostok and neighboring terri-! tory. The withdrawal policy was| made contingent on the Chita gov-| ernment’s accepting certain Japan-| ese demands, chief among which was ghe x_mdcrtaking of maintaining peace in Siberia. It would seem as if, now that Vladivostok has passed out of the control of the Chita government, this might make it difficult for Japan| to accept any guarantee which it might be willing to make, but a high official informs me that this will| make no difference, and that Japan| r_emains ,in spite of changed condi- tions, willing to withdraw her troops| on Chita’s assurance of maintenance| of order ,and that a high official will soon be sent to Siberia to conduct the necessary negotiations. | As might be expected, accusations! have been made that the Japanese! lmlhtanss engineered, or at least! swere privy to the Kappelist coup, in| sorder that the withdrawal of troops| might be prevented. On the other| thand, if Japan sticks to her program, | as outlined, it will show that she is, t.mnkl_ng an honest attempt to get out; lof Siberia with fairly clean hands +and a tangled point in Asian politics {will thus have been brought a great step nearer solution. | Combination Smoking Stand.

PROMOTE FRIENDLY RIVALRY | Milk and Cream Contest Are Impor- tant Feature in Improvement of Supplles. Friendly rivalry among milk pro- ducers und among dealers is an im- portant feature in the improvement | of the milk supplies of cities, United | States Department of Agriculture ex- perts assert. Any factor which en- courages t rivalry must be given careful consideration by sanitarlans | and all milk authorities. Since the inauguration of milk and cream con- tests, in 1908, this method of promot- Ing friendly rivalry has been recog- nized. At this time, besides State and National contests, a number of citles use such means for grading milk supplies. . Milk and cream contests promote competition among the dairymen, lead to the grading of milk supplies. and through publicity encourage the ef- forts of producers as well as educate the consumers regarding the value of good milk and where the best can be UNDERSTAND NEEDS OF COWS Animal Posgsesses Individuality andl Feeder Must Know Her Condi- tion and Desires.
