| e SR THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER % MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 22, 1921 E NEWS OF THE THEATRES g e ol “THE WITCHING HOUR” A GRIP- .~ PING FILM AT GRAND TODAY +* Revealing itself as one of the most gripping pictures presented here this geason, “The Witching Hour,” a Par- amont picture of the finest grade, produced by William D. Taylor, caugh, on in fine style at the Grand| theatre last night, where it again ap- pears, last times, tonight. It is a dramatic offering based on the famous $tage play by Augustus Thomas, and as a production, it ranks high. ‘There are many ‘tense moments in the picture, all of which tend to lift it far above the ordinary screen of- fering. The much’ talked of. topics of mental suggestion, telepathy “and the like, enter largely into the story, but they are handled with such ski as to obviate any possibility of wear- iness. The picture scored heavily be- cause of its instrinsic merit as a production and ibecause of the super- fority of the cast which includes such players as Elliot Dexter, Winter Hall, Ruth Renick, Mary Alden, Robert Cain and Edward Sutherland. SIX REELS OF “DOUBLE ADVEN- TURE” AT GRAND TUESDAY ALSO COMEDY . To quickly end the thrilling serial story “Double Adventure,” the Grand theatre has arranged for three epi- sodes, six reels, or more specifically episodes 10, 11 and 12 to be shown in that theatre tomorrow, Tuesday to- gether with a two reel comedy, mak- ing an unusual program of eight reel A similar program of six reels of serial and two of comedy will appea at the Grand a week from Tuesday when the fifteenth, or ending, episode };‘t “Double Adventure” will appear. his arrangement will atford those who have not followed this story of gdventure an opportunity to view the “best part of"it, including the ending, at two, instead of six days attendance as customary in ordinary run of such entertainment. “BABE” RUTH IN “HEADIN HOME" While a star of the diamond. ‘‘Babe Ruth, who will make his local debute in that suberbly charming photoplay of simple home life, mother lite and the outdoor sport world, “‘Heading .Home” which comes to the Rex theatre Thursday and Friday. has been applauded by hundreds of wi men and girls who adniire his reali Yic acting on the screen. With the ~speed of Douglas Fairbanks and the ~subtle art of loving making of Charles Ray, “Babe” must now be ranked aomong our leading screen favorites, <for the fair sex here placed its offi- cial stamp of aproval after witnessing this most pleasing screen presentation sin various eastern cities. ‘‘Headin’ Home” is interestingly true to lite and tellg a story thay will appeal to “'everybody. It has more thrills and laughs than three ordinary pictures. '“QUT OF THE DUST” BIG FILM LAST TIME TONIGHT AT REX There is a distinct individuality about the J. P. McCarthy production | “Out of the Dust.” It is stirring and entertalning in quality, has conside: ably more human interest and le: of, the spectacular that the old style western. Mr. McCarthy received his ingpiration for the production from ‘the Frederick Remington paintings | dealing with frontier days. And that | Company has just right to feel proud of this attraction. In addition to the scenes at the fort, such as oftenr been seen duplicated, | there is an excellent ranch and cow- | tboy flavor to the picture. The old- time dance- hall provides atmosphere for the big climax, where Martha Evan’s husband gives the villian the ‘beating ithat he deserves. The fight is a brutal aftair. but thoroughly con- vincing. The picture throughout is: well staged. Little Pat Moore is the beauty spot | of the production. The little fellow mot only looks well, but acts well, and seems to have a thorough understand- ing of what is expected om him, des- pite his tender years. Robert McKim as the villian needs no introduction, he is known as one of the best heavies on the screen.

It is always wise to select seed corn early in Minnesota—early enough to escape killing frosts. That is why the agricultural extension division at Uni- versity Farm, St. Paul, has year after year fixed on September 10-20 as Seed Corn Time—a period for the special harvesting of seed corn for the follow- ing year’s, planting. Killing frosts do not come in Minnesota usually until after September 20. This year, because of the early sea- son and the advanced stage of the corn crop, farmers have an extra chance to beat the attacks of the frost king. The corn crop has matured earlier than usual because it got an early start, and to get corn that will mature in about the same number of days next year selection should be made somewhat earlier than usual Corn may have to be planted later next year than it was planted this, and it it is not early-maturing it may not come through in time to escape next yvear's frosts. FOR THESE REASONS SEED CORN TIME THIS YEAR HAS BEEN SET FOR+ ¥ September 5-15. So between September 5 and 15 this fall— Select your seed corn. Store It at once in a dry well ventllated place where It will dry quickly and stay dry. Select 50 ears for every acre of EARLY SEASON CALLS FOR EARLY SEED CORN SELECTION 5—!5 2 corn to be planted naxt year, In order ¢o give a chance for .re. | sclecting in.the spring after ger-’ mination tests have been madec. “Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap” as a text never had a better illustratjon than in the sow-' ing of corn. If one sows badly shaped grains of corn from runty, distorted, crooked ears, which have matured late, he will get the same kind of corn he planted: that is, if he gets any at all. If, as suggested, however, he sows late-maturing corn, the frost king is likely to get it and the sower to get nothing. What one should do, according to the universal testimony of good corn-growers, therefore, is to | select— Corn that has matured early— before: -killing-frost time—from the standing hstalks in the field.
